One year after introducing the original Guppie, Columbia River brought out a scaled down version and christened it the Li'l Guppie. Gone is the on-board bit carrier and LED light, but the tradeoff is a thinner smaller tool that is more convenient to carry. |
Wrench
Unlike regular wrenches, the wrench jaws on the Li'l 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 7/16†(11mm).
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.)
The knife blade on the Li'l Guppie is 1-1/2†long (40mm). It features a drop point profile, with a large thumbhole for one hand opening.
