Columbia River Knife and Tools 9070K Multi-Tool Guppie Knife, Black

by Columbia River Knife and Tool (CRKT)

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Launce Barber and Tom Stokes designed the patented Guppie as part of our innovative I.D. Works line of tools. While some think it's cute, it really is a hard-working carabineer tool with dozens of everyday uses. The Guppie 9070K features a black-on-black non-reflective tactical finish. The adjustable wrench jaw opens to 1/2-Inch so you can use it for all kinds of light repair and assembly jobs. Thanks to the carabineer gate, the Guppie is easy to carry on a belt loop, D-ring, pack or rope. (But it is not a weight-bearing carabineer.) The high-carbon stainless steel blade with a Razor-Sharp edge can be opened and closed with one hand using the blade slot. The removable bit carrier is also a high-intensity LED light. It has two strong magnets to hold it securely to the Guppie's left side. The stainless steel clip will hold the Guppie in your pocket or on gear, which gives a lot of versatility. The Guppie makes a great little money clip, too, for those who like to keep a thin wallet. One more trick: The Guppie carabineer detent will open bottle caps and metal jar lids. Carabiner is non-weight-bearing. Magnets may harm electronic media.

I have to say for the size of the Gupie I was expecting some half-A**ed poor aluminum or sheet metal tool. Instead I was surprised at how Columbia didn't cut any corners with their product. It is robust, the bits will not strip (maybe with incredible force but most screws strip at that point before this will), the wrench is extremely well done, and the blade is scary sharp. It would be months before I could find another tool that was of the same caliber for 20 bucks.

The only real reason I didn't rate a 5 is because I am in constant fear of loosing the detachable light/magnet/bit holder. You can flip it around, so you either are scratching your hand grabbing the bits, or in fear that the bit holder will pop off as it swings when you use the carabiner. To it's credit, it hasn't popped off yet and the light is very bright. This tool also single handedly took apart my brother's stereo and replaced it in the dark. I highly recommend this item, but note it is rather heavy (not cumbersome).

Excellent tool! Received it, very well boxed and good literature inside. Very well designed, light and small but still has lots of features and very utilitarian. Works exactly as described, wrench got a workout right away, worked excellent. Great to keep in an emergency kit, glovebox, bag or even carry every day. Knife is sharp and precise, as all CRKT products are. Definitely impressed, and glad to have!

Only caveat, small one mostly due to an OCD nature, is that the wrench doesn't stay tight in pocket when clipped. Not a big deal, thought I'd mention it for others like myself.

I bout this thing to use in my daily life when I needed it. I carry a regular knife for daily chores, but wanted this for other applications. When I bought it, I thought it looked cool, but soon came to realize how cheap this tool is made. Its a shame because CRKT makes decent knives, but after buying this, I will stick with a leatherman squirt on my keyring. The guppie had loose wrench and poor quality blade. The blade bent when I used it, has no lock either. The little screwdriver set was a joke that kept falling off of the tool. Great idea, but poor design and quality.
