Very clever engineering and awesome how quickly you incorporated feedback in your newest version. 😎 My suggestions would be to print a traditional three pivot design that has the exact same size pliers and implements to compare the ergonomics (in all usage scenarios) and resulting size/weight. I'm curious about the overall closed length of your prototype compared to the max possible length of main tools (knife, file, saw, scissors, etc). Will your design support four large implements like the Leatherman Wave/Arc?

i said you should patent it! i'm famous! woohoo i expect a discount when its out!🤣 still more to do but nice improvment's i would've made the pliers more on the needle nose side and maybe consider magnet's for the pliers ditent. also you will probbably add outside tools and usully they are wider at the base so you'lle need to figure out a way to reshape the handle so it will fit and still not damage the better ergonomics you've got in the new prototype. 💪

bro think about some patents soon

At this size, you'd be competing with Nextool's mini sailor if you could scale production to price it at like $25. Excited to see how this progresses. I like that you maintained a small profile overall, while still having a substantial plier head. Perhaps the Leatherman mini tool would also be of inspiration.

Very cool!!

You can take it out by prying it out with your finger or a file or other stuff that fits

I would definitely buy one love the idea!!

I was just thinking , one thing i dislike about leatherman etc is that youre limited by the jaw size opening, i like how your design opens wide allowing you to clamp onto different sizes nuts . good job dude, cant wait for your future iterations

You can add a long blade and a long t-shank adapter with a file or sawblade if you bend the frame like on the Wave. Also, a bit more needlenose on the pliers would be nice.

Version 2 is a really nice upgrade! It's awesome how you improved the ergonomics soo much yet kept the mechanical design soo simple.

Cool! I think you are on to something 👍🏻.

Where can i get the files❤❤

Yo soo cool where can i get the files❤❤❤

If Fisher Price made tools...

What do you think about the leatherman bond are you a fan of it?

TOO noisy.

Need to think of how much the handle is open when using pliers and mabe install a spring loaded plier to fix opening plier head mabe but definitely need to have less distance in handle when using pliers you really don't want to have Handel's open to wide when grabbing something tight with pliers but it looks like your on to something here

One of the biggest problems I see is the opening angle of the handles. You could make the handles articulating but then you get a 3 pivot MT.

You need to completely redo the ergonomics if it's going to have a chance. The pliers head needs to be superior to anything on the market, perhaps specifically designed to work with fasteners better. You better make sure that single pivot can withstand the load pressures. With 3 and 5 pivot multitools the stress is divided amongst the pivots. Here one pivot bears all the stresses.

Add a 2 position locking screwdriver with bit changer. Add large pry bar. Add 4" tanto knife. Go for urban tactical.

Poor ergonomics

shot up and take my money! *and go check for a patent.... nice thinking, there is a way to go but interesting idea

How much leverage does your single pivot design have versus a conventional pivot or SOG's pivot system?

Interesting concept. Two things of concern: how do the pliers lock in place? The free rotating system might be problematic with opening. I also see the crisscrossing design as a pinching hazard...

very very interesting! I think you are on to something.

patent this sh*t right now, or someone else will

Why does everything have to have a blooming fidget factor????

Why reinvent the wheel ?

Interesting idea! If you can solve the problem of getting the plier heads to open once the tool is opened you’ve got something. Maybe magnets 🤷🏻‍♂️.

So much potential! It can be scaled down to a more pocketknife-sized multitool to due its simplicity. Any weight issues for metal builds can be solved by scaling down marginally. All the smallest multitools unsurprisingly become everyone's favorites: like Leathermans's Squirt, Juice, and original PST design (all also very simple).

🤫💰❗️

Interesting idea and execution. It looks clunky though, like really thick in the pivot area. If it was made of metal it’ll probably be just as heavy as a Leatherman. It also appears that the handles would have to open super wide to accommodate the average nut and that would make it difficult to use. I think it has potential though.

Not saying you should get a patent bc often it’s just too expensive and not worth it. However you might want to, uncertain. I’m sure you’ve explored the idea if you are this far in the process.

Nice

Good presentation and interesting concept. One issue I see though is the V shape of the handles and having to move the handles out way too much when trying to grab onto something slightly bigger, this would be fine in a pinch but can't be comfortable with prolonged use. So just on that observation I would think the handle ergonomics and comfort just aren't there.

2025 kickstarter link needed 😅

Great Concept, i do have a question about the stress points, does having 1 pivot vs 2 pivots affect the max stress ? i wonder could you test it with printing a conventional 2 pivot design vs 1 pivot in PLA and seeing with maybe a scales or indicator where the stress comes from and how much weight it can bare. If you find the stress is managed better than the 2 pivot one then mate you might have a patent opportunity . also you were comparing sizes, if you scale for the metal to the force allowed from the PLA one maybe you could make it smaller/ thinner while maintaining the strength due to metals inherent strength over plastics.

Looks great!!

Love this idea! Great presentation too! I think this concept might be better applied to standalone EDC pliers like the mini cobras. They are very useful but not easy to carry because the handles are ‘loose’ With this idea they could have better handles and store better for pocket carry…

Very interesting man i like the way you try to apply all your niche proof of concepts

How do you plan to solve the opening of the pliers? Spring loaded?

When the plier is close, the angle of the handle must be small, here it's around 40 degree, it will be hard to squeeze

Would like to know what maxlvledc would think about it

Awesome idea.

Cool idea! Fun to watch as well. You might want to elongate the plier head a bit as there wouldn't be a lot of wire cutter exposed, if that's something you want. As to other tools they are in the right place, just remember that the outer 2 per handle, 4 in total, can lie alongside the plier head so they can be longer (eg. blade(s), saw, file), and the inner tools obviously are restricted in their length by the plier head.

Where do the animations of the stl come from? The animation at 2:45 is from openscad.

Nice cringe
