Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Multi-Purpose Metric Tool by Motion Pro 08-0161 by Lance Levatte

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Twice the cost/weight of a multi point screwdriver, push handle socket with extension, sockets and combination wrenches

I usually like Motion Pro tools. That's one of the reasons I bought this device. But that's far from the case: it's expensive, heavy, and not very useful. 1) Why on earth would anyone include a 7/16 inch wrench with a fully metric tool kit? Because the crank was designed for the "American" Motion Pro toolbox and not just metric. Replace the wrench with a 17mm wrench instead and you can justify the cost and weight. 2) Phillips screwdrivers are not JIS compliant. JIS = Japanese industrial screw. If you have an Asian bike that comes off the crossbar easily (Phillips) you know what a PIA JIS can be. This tool will help you take them off, not remove them. "Long - 3/8" "Slide Bar Handle" sold by Sears. It's lighter, although the 4 inch extension can make up for that. 3) Why put a bottle opener in a multi-tool? Any tree that flies a flag and hugs a quad knows not to bring bottles into the woods. Glass bottles break when you drink too much and you crash into a tree. That's why any sane quad will tie crates of beer in CANs to the back of their bike. So you don't need a bottle opener. Unless you work in your garage. But why pay more than $50 for a bottle opener or other tool when you have the luxury of a tool chest in your garage?
