T01 SpydeRench
"We are proud to reintroduce the T01 SpydeRench, it is truly a revolutionary addition to the multi-tool industry. The T01 SpydeRench includes a real Spyderco knife with a locking full-sized, one-hand open/close knife blade and pocket clip, plus much more. Designed by an aerospace engineer in conjunction with Spyderco's research and development department, the T01 is made of investment-cast 17-4ph corrosion resistant stainless steel and features an adjustable crescent wrench with an opening capacity of 9/16". On the opposite end, a 2-setting slip joint plier fits comfortably in the hand that has been contour casted, no pinched fingers. A set of four screwdriver bits tuck deftly inside, including: a #2 and #3 Phillips-head as well as a #1 and #2 flat-head. The SpydeRench also accepts any standard 1/4" sized bit from your hardware store, including Allen and Torx.
The tool also features a diamond-coated file featuring a concave, convex and flat sharpening surface with a small Phillips head on one side and a hole starter on the other end. A unique pivot pin allows the tool to rotate into an extended position that locks open creating a full-sized easy to grip screwdriver and crescent wrench. By releasing the pivot, the screwdriver and knife portion of the tool can separate from the crescent wrench allowing both tools to be used independently and/or simultaneously. AUS-8 premium stainless steel was chosen for the full-sized locking knife blade."[1]
