History: M4 SeberTool

Plugin execution pending approval This plugin was recently added or modified. Until an editor of the site validates the parameters, execution will not be possible.

Jaws

Jaw shape is a fattened blunt nose profile. There are fine serrations running out to the tips, a gripping area below that, and a wire cutter area near the pivot. No hard wire cutting notch is present.

Handles/Frame

Unlike the previous M2 and M3 tools from SeberTech, the M4 uses folded sheetmetal for the handles. Outside-opening blades mean the handles are more comfortable to grip under pressure.

Blades and Tools

As stated above, all the blades are outside-opening, and all blades lock open. There are three blades in each handle:

• knife blade, with double edge V grind. 1-1/2" long (35mm)
• medium Phillips screwdriver
• medium flathead screwdriver

• two-sided file blade. Single cut and double cut serrations

  Blade lock release

• combination eyeglass screwdriver/bottle opener
• tweezers

Locking Mechanism

Blades lock open via a backspring tab that engages a notch in the blade. Lock release is accomplished by pressing down on a small tab. (see photo)

Other Features

The M4 is able to quickly attach or release from a key ring, by means of a hole on the opposite side of the plier jaws. Securely closed up, the tool is quite unlikely to accidentally release from a key ring or lanyard loop.

Sheath

None.

Dimensions

• Folded length = 2" (52mm)
• Unfolded length = 3-3/4" (97mm)

Variations

Along with the standard stainless version, the M4 was also produced with a black oxide finish.
