Just kidding ya'll, this tool actually looks pretty sweet. I've been using a combo of my Leatherman Squirt and a datatel-centric Swiss Army Knife (not sure what model- I got it for free from a telephone vendor.) Only thing is I have to be sure to leave them at home when flying, etc. Dang knife...]]>Nov 30th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/Nov 30th 2009 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/No.]]>Nov 30th 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/really this has already come back in style? ]]>Nov 30th 2009 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/

Seconded, such an obvious Atwood ripoff... There have been others, but damn looks like they took some notes with this one finish and detailing-wise. Though the end result still looks like way more of a mess than any design the man himself would go forward with.]]>Nov 30th 2009 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice this right away. No research needed on this :) Atwood makes some sweet tools and this is nothing more than a cheap ripoff]]>Nov 30th 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/Nov 30th 2009 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/Nov 30th 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/Nov 30th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://bit.ly/4rDX8V, not just a glorified bottle opener, and the $10 extra bit kit is well worth the money if you mountain bike or do other outdoor sports.]]>Nov 30th 2009 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/Nov 30th 2009 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/

I wonder if this one is shoddy quality like other copy-cat products.]]>Nov 30th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/
Hi jkotrub,

I understand your concern regarding product quality and must say that any tool MK7 produces will be of equal or higher quality to that of an Atwood tool. We in no way are attempting to copy Atwood but rather bring a tool to mass market (rather than being somewhat of a collector's item). Our Piranha is designed, manufactured, and built to current aerospace specifications (as we also work in the aerospace industry). Costs are kept low (at $49 ea rather than $70+ ea as Atwood is priced) through Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies and batch quantities are not a problem as we offer tools when you would like them. . . no more waiting!

I hope this helps to alleviate any concerns regarding our new product!

Best Regards, The MK7 Team]]>Nov 30th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/pocket-tool-xs-piranha-looks-like-its-a-multipurpose-animal/I'll pass.
