Title: No marking multi tool ?
Post by: lzenglish on August 08, 2011, 11:32:33 PM

I count 7 tools on this one, and wonder who made it? Anyone have a similar looking one with a trade name, or country of origin name? Probably china, but maybe not!

Thanks,

Wayne

Thanks! Mine is probably the same animal as yours, but it is tight, and has a nice finish on it, so,I think I'll keep it!

I posted this one in the whatsit a couple weeks ago. You must have missed it. But they look pretty much identical aren't they? Even down to the little tiny hole on one side of the head.  I don't see any markings on mine either.

I wondered if it was for working with the lead weights for balancing tires? I don't know why a weight tool would need such a big squarish jaw opening, or what the bottle opener part is for, except for opening bottles after a hard day of tire busting.

Yes, I must have missed your post, and yes, they do look identical, and most likely are. I think these are just an all-in-one, hand dandy, tool. Mine has no markings, so I figure it is an out of country import. Mine does have some weight to it, a nice finish, and is very tight, so it probably was never used! Lol

It slices, it dices,
Makes julianne fires and radish roses..
 
 But wait, if you act now..... 

 I wonder if these were "pitched" at the fair??
I will always watch a really good pitchman.
 Never sucked for the "plush",  but I do like to watch a good man work.
There have even been a few preachers I would watch.
