History: Guppie
Preview of version: 16
Wrench
Unlike regular adjustable wrenches, the wrench jaws on the Guppie are serrated, like plier jaws. There are fine serrations out to the tip, with a coarse serrated gripping area in near the base. Maximum jaw opening is 3/4 inch (19mm).Frame
The intricate frame of the Guppie is cast and cut from a single piece of stainless steel. Finish is bead blast stainless, with a few components given a deep black finish for contrast.Utilizing a spring loaded gate, a large cut-out portion of the frame functions as a carabiner. (Note that the carabiner is not intended for weight-bearing applications.)
Blades and Tools
The knife blade on the Guppie is 2 inch long (51mm). It features a drop point profile, with a large thumbhole for one hand opening.Locking Mechanism
The knife blade does not lock open.Other Features
In the base of the Guppie there is a hex bit receptacle with a magnetic bit holder. (Magnet seems rather weak.)A removable plastic bit carrier is positioned along one side of the tool. It has stations for four 1/4 inch hex bits. In one end there is a high intensity LED light, with slide switch. The bit carrier uses two strong magnets and two close-fitting plastic pegs to remain attached to the side of the Guppie.
A pocket clip is secured to the side opposite the bit carrier.
A lip on one jaw of the carabiner can be used to open bottle caps and metal jar lids.
