Rocktol 29 in 1 Multi-tool review

This multi-tool was sent to me by Rocktol, as they were looking for in depth, honest review of it. What does honest mean? Well, I only agreed to do the review if I can state pro's and con's about the tool in question. Rocktol wanted to hear real reviews that allows them to have an outside look at the tool, so they can get feedback on whats good and what's not, and improve it as needed. Most companies I've had the choice/chance of working with, only wanted positive reviews, and to ignore the negatives. I don't do that. If you have watched any of my review videos, you should know, if it's good/bad/ugly, I have no problems telling you about it. I try to be clear, and concise where ever I can.

So here is my review of the Rocktol 29 in 1 Multi-tool. Most of this tool is well thought out, like the sheath, the added tools, and having a thread hole in the awl. The t-shank jigsaw blade holder works well with most blades, that are between 1.0mm and 1.4 mm thick. There are some thinner blades like the Bosch T119BO blade at 0.8mm that have excess play in the holder, but that is not a result of a poor retention design, but a company that produces a blade thinner than standard thickness. Its not the first time I've noted issues with blades.

As for the bit driver, I would have preferred a magnet in the base of the driver, instead of ball detent bits, for use with a much larger selection of bits. Bits that do not have ball detents, will just fall out of the driver, as nothing would have held it in place. On a side note, if the driver was both magnetic and had an option for ball detent, the driver would work with about 95% of all the bits out there.

This tool has 6 flat head drivers, 2 of which are the same size, as one in the bit set, and one in the handle. That is a lost opportunity in my opinion. I would have replaced the small flat head on the handle with an eye glass size driver like the one found on the 22 in 1.

However an unusual but well liked driver bits were the security torx bits. Most brands come with regular solid head torx bits, which wont allow you to remove and/or install security torx screws. So that's awesome, in my opinion.

The SP4 and SP8 spanner bits, I have never seen nor used. So I'm not sure it they are more common in Europe, or I'm just in the wrong industry to have need for them. In my case I would have preferred a T6 and T8 bit for use in typical knife maintenance.
