No matter where I travel, I have always had tools confiscated even if there were not blades on them. Looks scary or "potentially dangerous"? It is their discretion and usually the person is uninformed or does not care. From my experience I just leave these types of things in the car.
true, I've had same situation. But I've been other places were I could carry them because they were bladeless.
I gotta agree, any tool I EDC, goes in the luggage (if checked) or left at home/car if I am just doing carry on. Just not worth the risk if a TSA agent decides my “TSA approved” tool is just too scary.
It could be that it was too cool that the personnel wanted to rob you of the tool.
@@mingshey I chose to see people as doing their best for good, until they prove me wrong. I imagine there is a lot of pressure and responsibility for those TSA personnel. I don’t always agree with them, but I respect their position.
Came to say the same thing, mostly from checked bags. Even had knives and zippos taken that were unused and still in the original packaging. Airlines really need to start buckling down on this. I've worked at MANY airports installing conveyors, a lot of the employees in the baggage handling areas have minimal background checks if they are an immigrant. As a native citizen we had 10-20 year background check,depending on if working in customs. For them to work for TSA they had a 30 day background check. I just don't understand how downright thievery is acceptable at an area that is considered high risk/high security to national safety.
I didn't know that tool, but it's exactly what I've been searching to pair with a victorinox!
I edc (and use) a wave and it's blades, and sometimes I just want to go "light" but I feel naked without pliers...
What a great little tool! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Too bad that you’re paying for the useless clip thingy. From the look of it it’s probably a good part of the production cost. Imagine what price they could come down to when offering only the tool. That could be a companion peace for many EDCs.
I walk around with 26 multi-tools in my pocket (my pants are so heavy). I'm ready for anything
Gave a non-TSA friendly one of these to my soon to be father in law as a gift last year. He loves it because people always have the WTF look on their faces when he pulls it out
Great vid bro! You should do a dedicated video on your modified MiniTool, absolutely! I'm searching an excuse to pull out mine from her box and trow it in my pocket...😁
I saw this in another persons review. The 2d Philips can be used with some bit adapters for bits as well.
Hell if it was just pliers and wire cutter that small and the folding parts were just handles it would still be cool. Thanks for putting it on the radar.
Great job covering a tool that is discontinued everywhere! :-) Even the Sync II version is.
🤷
It kind of reminds me of a bigger version of the Sebertool M4 from Severtech, but not as good because it's not American made.
At least in my opinion, because the Sebertools were the best mini multitools ever made.
Those were cool!
@@maxlvledc
I currently have the m4, and the m2.
I've had an M3 that I gave to a friend, my first m2 that I modified into a needle nose I gave away, and a 3rd NOS m2 I also gifted.
When I find something I really like I often find myself gifting them.
The only one I have never had is the i2 seberknife, which is literally just the knife handle of the m4.
They seem to be pretty rare and hard to come buy, but I can't say I'd really find much use for it since I don't put things on my keys.
I'd have to track one down and try it to see if it can make a good small pocket knife.
I'm one of those crazy people who will carry a small pocket knife the size of a Vic classic as my only knife and not feel lacking.
I got a something similar to this from a famous chinese website (not the big 1, the other famous 1) b4 I knew what a sog sync was. I actually saw a youtube vid by someone else about this and thought damn, that looks familiar lol! Doesn't have scissors, belt buckle or upraised pivot & has a knife instead but apart from that it's nearly a carbon copy.
Like it but reckon it won't last regular use. Every Day Carry but not really everydat use. Great info. Cheers mate.
I'm seriously considering this one. Very handy. $AU 160 though. Damn.
HVAC just make a video on this tool too!
Funny that you did it the same week, for this old tool 😆
Really??? Cwazy!
I wonder if a clip to add to it to use in the watch pocket would be a decent add-on...one that allows it to be rotated 90 degrees...
What the size when it unfolded? Since if its is bladeless does not mean that it could be taken into the plane - TSA will not allow Wrenches/Pliers longer than 7 inches.
5" total length
A pliers with a good file and a good awl would be amazing! As a compliment to other mulitools! Eg SAKS
If sharpened, the flat blade screwdriver could be a decent awl
sog is a lot of hit or miss but mostly misses, but i do like their toolset choices and my favorite sogs have to be the switchpliers
I would totally get this but not for $80 plus. Cool idea tho.
Have you tried flying with the Gerber bladeless?
If so do they hassle you about it?
it was $40 when I got it. the reality about flying is they they almost always hassle you no matter what.
Interesting tiny multitool, looks good. How is your thoughts about new multitool Böker Plus Specialist Pro ?
Never heard of it! Looking now! Soooo...it's a rebrand of a $15 cheap Chinese tool....
@@maxlvledc on the point ) as I see they like make Chinese rebrands
Seen it. #SOG MAC V tool might pass. Go for a #Gerber shard for travel purposes. You can get a bladeless #Gerber Dime.
The Dime travel is Discontinued
I wonder if a Victorinox scissors could replace the one in the SOG? Maybe the one in the Tool Card? Wonder if Leatherman Wave pivot would be right size for center?
Do not let TSA take your tools! Carry a self-addressed priority mail envelope. Ask them to drop it in the mail to you. I have gotten 3 back that way. Alxo, print out TSA reg and show it to supervisor at check in. Sometimes you win that way.
The pliers are nice. I have the version with the knife. Tools are trash in my opinion. The locking mechanism is very piss poor. When you accidentally flip all tools out on one side you have to manually pull the locking mechanism back and disengage the tools. Very very frustrating.
How do the pliers compare to Victrinox SAK pliers?
Much much stronger and more leverage..in fact I'd rate them higher than a skeletool!
@@maxlvledc Thanks. I'm getting one.
I don't think I will try one, it seems a little small for pliers. It is cool tho.
Would never buy it as it has no knife. And would never travel with a multitool that could be confiscated by the TSA at their discretion, regardless of whether it had a blade or not. If I air travel, I'd have pliers, large flathead screwdriver, a box cutter with blade removed, and a prybar. TSA won't confiscate those.
Where's the standard size flat screwdriver ?? Hmmm
You can NOT rely on the TSA to be logical. They're just a fast food server playing a security guard.... SIGH
