![]() The price of being different.Tool in hand the ST1 is 4cm wide the Surge is 2cm & its a huge MT, the Swisstool is 1.5cm. Some pics for Bob, the layered/laminated pliers head, not found on latter series ST1's On the ST1 the middle tool bit is the lock release, which you do by pushing down on it (it is slightly raised compared to the other tools) the bit is not a locking tool so there is no worry about not being able to release the lock.It is also easier to push down on the lock release with gloves on than have to open a tool bit out like you do on the LM.(Micky ).I wonder why Scharade did not makeĢ locking bits either side of the lock release bit.Īnother feature I like on the ST1 is the cut outs to make accessing the nail nick easier, note to Victorinox The locking mechanism applies to 4 of the 10 tool bits.It is similar to Leatherman's Super Tool method of locking but in my opinion the ST1's is better.You can not fall into the trap of locking all the bits open like you can on the leatherman which requires levering the locks off with another tool. ![]() Scharade included a dedicated tool for the ruler which has a hook remover on the end, I think a saw would have been a better option but there is that law 90% of MT's have to have rulers Points of interest, the Phillips head has straight serrations which I teased you guys with in the macro picture post, I think the consensus was the serrations help with grip. Some pics comparing the tool with my Surge & Swisstool.Ī better pic showing the shorter blade on the ST1 My tool looks like a series 1 ST1(1997ish). It is funny I have picked up a couple of used MTs that are cosmetically banged up on the outside but have factory sharp edges this is one of those.Both Def & Bob(J-sews) have done excellent reviews on this tool on the main site & the encyclopedia respectively. I decided once tool was clean & lubed to let it loose on my eldest son's birthday present a mountain bike. I picked up a used one from a local Ebay seller for a reasonable price. The locking flat head screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, fine flat head screwdriver, dual edge knife blade, and heavy duty saw blade are unlocked by merely pushing down on the center tool.Specificationsįor more multi-tools, check out our entire selection of pocket knives we have to offer.I have been interested in the Scharade Tough Tool for awhile. It also includes a cap lifter, can opener, scribe, awl, leather bore, metal file, wood file, measuring gauge, hook disgorge, scraping blade, and wire strippers. When opened, you have access to needle nose pliers, normal pliers, a wire cutter, and a vise. Unlike other multi-tools, this Tough Tool has nail notches and pulls for each tool, so majority of the implements can be used without ever needing to open the pliers.
