How do you use your MetMo Gripā“

Is it your go-to tool or do you prefer to keep it in pristine condition? Let us know in the comments!

Mine was in pristine condition until I dropped it on the concrete driveway and damaged the top jaw. Dā€™oh!

Tools, nooooo! Heartbreaking. Whatā€™s the damage looking like?

Peg, Itā€™s not toooo bad. I should be able to clean it up with some wet and dry. Looks a bit more like a real used tool now though, so I might leave it, because no doubt Iā€™ll drop it many more times in its life.

For the moment I keep it in pristine condition :smiley: Itā€™s a master piece for collection ! And Iā€™ve bought it for that, not really to work with itā€¦ and Iā€™m not sure that it is really efficient for hard work (it seems slip a little, but not a problem for me because I prefer to admir it than to hardly use it ^^

Ulrick, thanks for commenting! It is a good looking wrench :wink:,

Peg, but for the driverā€¦ very nice but Iā€™m certain to often use it so I donā€™t think to let it in pristine condition !! :smiley:

Ulrick, great to hear! Would love to see it in action when you finally get your hands on it.

Peg, More stuff than Iā€™d care to haul out and count.

Notable things:

  • Niwa camera tool kit in a ā€œSafety Caseā€ (modeled on the toolkits knitting machine mechanics used) from Levenger: https://www.edcforums.com/threads/lets-see-your-small-edc-tool-kit.138327/#post-2649442>
  • also a couple of Altoids tins w/ hex bits (also shown in the above)
  • a collection of multi-tools/knives, including my original Leatherman PST (Pocket Survival Tool) as well as a Crunch, also a Schrade Old Timer carving knife
  • a couple of different drivers, most of which the Metmo Driver will displace ā€” one notable driver though is the Silca T-ratchet & Ti-Torque Kit (I have a first generation unit from their Kickstarter) which if moved, will go into my EDC bag (see below)
  • Knipex Cobra/Plier Wrench set in pouch ā€” these are amazing, and to my mind, pair really well w/ the Metmo Wrench for instances where Iā€™m concerned about marring things

One possibility though is that the Metmo driver will allow me to collapse a subset of my frequently used tools:

Into a Munich Canvas case which I carry in my Chrome Industries Kadet Sling Bag (also a Mininch Toolpen, Mini Toolpen, Wrench, Leatherman PST Mini, and Spyderco SpydeRench, 4" titanium adjustable wrench, and a pair of shears).

William, sounds like a great precision tool bag, looks like a pretty nifty tool roll up youā€™ve got there too! Thanks so much for sharing, this is exactly the content we love to see on CubeClub. Canā€™t wait to see how to the Drivers fits in!

I bought mine w/ the intention of using it, but for reasons, it wound up in my ā€œprecision tool bagā€ and none of the projects Iā€™ve hauled that out for have involved wrenching since I got it (will probably be revisiting tool storage/organization once I get my Metmo Driver on this account) ā€” did buy a second on Indiegogo as a graduation gift for my son, but not sure if heā€™s been using it or no ā€” hopefully it will get used, kind of sad when a tool isnā€™t.

William, thanks for commenting! Would love to see what else is in your precision tool bag :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:.

Iā€™m gonna use the hell out of it. Iā€™ll buy another if I need to. This thing rules.
