Detailed
Information:
Need a little tiny toolbox for your keychain? This
is it! An LED flashlight, pliers, screwdrivers, and
a few other features thrown in for good measure. The
Micro-Pro multi-function tool is the same length as
the regular Swiss
Tech Micro-Tech that you may have seen around, but
it is beefier in construction and lacks the option for
the fine
screwdrivers.
The body of the light is plastic polymer, black, and
has a red switch on the top that can be slid toward
the keychain hole for constant on, or pressed in for
momentary activation. On the back of the body is a docking
post where the Micro-Pro tool grabs on and remains when
not in use.
The LED is simply exposed out the front of the body,
but is partially protected by the arms of the Micro-Pro
tool which extend slightly farther than the LED.
Output is pretty typical for a 5mm white LED. Directional
flood of bluish tinted light.
The unit really isn't water resistant, so avoid water.
Changing the batteries is a little bit of a process.
First you need to remove 3 screws with a #0 Phillips
screwdriver (NOT included on the Micro-Pro tool...)
Then carefully remove the LED and two doughnut shaped
washers held onto the batteries with weak adhesive.
Re-attach the washers to the new batteries and replace
everything exactly the way you found it.
What I Liked: Good output, Nice
tool attached.
What I Didn't Like: Not water resistant,
Difficult battery change
Other Things I Noticed: The Micro-Pro
tool is a bit more rough in finish than the usual Micro-Tech
pliers. I think they need to polish up all the surfaces
a little more next time.
Conclusions: Great little multi-purpose
LED light and tool set for those quickie repairs. Could
come in very handy in a pinch. No blades, so you may
be able to get away with carrying this on an airplane.
(UPDATE: Actually, you can't bring it onto an airplane.
It seems that the airplane police think this is a dangerous
weapon... morons...)
