Rocktol / Mossy Oak 12-in-1 Multitool review and mods
Rocktol 12-in-1 on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7GBPR3Q/
Pretty solid option at $20.
Mods I recommend:
1. Reverse the clip
2. Use adhesives to secure the clip to the pivot screw so it doesn't wiggle
3. Oil the pivots
4. Tight down the knife pivot and secure with threadlocker to limit lock rock
5. Add masking tape to knife hole for one-handed opening
6. Add a 6x2mm magnet in bottom of 1/4" driver for much improved bit retention

Defcon Knives Fulcrum Lite - the leverage lock is cool but I can't recommend the knife
zhlédnutí 112Před 2 měsíci
I bought this knife for the leverage lock mechanism. A leverage lock is the spawn of a liner lock button lock. It's cool and it's better than a button lock IMO. However, this particular knife has major flaws. It may all be due to the micarta scales. The knife feels very flimsy but beyond that, the pocket clip is STRAIGHT UP UNUSABLE because a single screw just does not cut it.
Petrified Fish Warrior PF949 - this "wood" carbon fiber is scrumptious! 😋
zhlédnutí 66Před 2 měsíci
This is a great budget knife. It's in the $50-60 with the scales material accounting for the range. Like the blade size (3.5"), length (8.5") and LOVE these carbon fiber scales. This CF is layered or "vertical," almost like wood. Actually looks like silvery-shimmery plywood. I think it's way cooler than shredded CF, for example.

    Thanks for the video. I have both tools and they are nearly identical. I will try your mods. They come with the double ended bit, however the Philips side is #1 Philips. I switched it out for a double ended bit which has a #2 Phillips on one end. I only use the knife blade and screwdriver and would prefer the small and lighter weight Gerber Armbar Slim Drive. However, the Gerber doesn't have a belt clip. Also the bit is similar but doesn't have the ball. It is held by magnet only and I lost the bit when I dropped it while working on a lift. I can't find a replacement bit. I'm going to try to grind off the ball from one of the replacement bits I purchased. If that works I will use the Mossy Oak belt pouch with my Gerber.

    if you want a good quality 60 blade you should look into the 60xt blades for the havalon piranta knife, or the 60a blades. they are really nice blades, they are thick so you might need to use some sandpaper to expand a little bit where the blade clips on. the 60xt blade are a little bit thinner than the 60a blades so they might fit better! the cheap 60 blades are kinda dangerous because they will snap easily and fly everywhere... buy descent blades, swann morton is also good blades, but the havalon piranta blades are the best!

    I have that same gray PVD blade/gray G10 Moyarl liner lock, purchased after you recommended it to me on Reddit. It’s phenomenal, easily the best quality for the money for anything under $100. They look even better in person. Photos and videos can’t fully capture the shimmering effect of the PVD coating. And the Moyarl is actually the perfect size for me to reverse flick with my index finger instead of my middle finger, which is really nice and not something that I’m able to do easily with any other knife with a blade hole.
