My new Switchplier just arrived and contrary to the instruction pamplet and the reviews here in this forum -- mine did not come with the socket adapter.
Mine has:
Knife blade
Can opener
Philips screwdriver
Nylon spacer
Bottle Opener
File
in that order.
The nylon spacer really has me confused.
Is there a tool missing?
The philips screwdriver looks like it might even belong to a different tool.
It's the only tool with 2 indents in it so that it can be locked at both 90 and 180 degrees but if you do lock it at 90 degrees then the handle can't be closed. Very awkward since it automatically locks at 90 degrees when extracting it.
The philips screwdriver is also the only tool that can't be accessed without opening the pliers.
Lastly, the sheath seems backwards.
The unit only fits in the sheath with the pliers end out so when you go to grab it you are grabbing the working end.
Why design a switchblade style tool that can't be opened without first turning it around in your hand?
