Titanium Bottle Opener/Bushing Wrench
Sorry if this is the wrong section...Considering there are quite a few beer and 1911 lovers on here...

I've been working on a line of pocket tools for the past few months. Primarily I make bicycle components and some firearm parts, but I want to branch out into the tools side of things for both.

First up is a prototype titanium keychain/pocket tool.

Bottle Opener
1911 Bushing Wrench
1/4" Broach
Standard Tip Screw Driver/Pry
Domestic 6Al/4V Titanium
5/32" Thick
2-1/4" x 1-7/16"
100% Made In The USA (Old Towne Orange, California)

I am making these myself at my home workshop. All milling is done manually, unless interest grows I may throw them in the CNC. Mainly showing this to see what you guys think and if anyone is interested. I haven't found a nice bottle opener/bushing wrench that I can keep on me, which is why I started making these.



I may throw some laser etch on for measuring on the side and "Drink Responsibly - Shoot Responsibly" unless someone has already done that on something similar.

-Ken

Very cool idea. Does the screwdriver fit into the grip screw slot without marring the grips?

I think you have a money maker there.

...1/4" Broach...
Where is the broach?

http://search.aol.com/aol/imageDetai...mgTitle=Broach

A broach is a long tool with ever larger cutting surfaces. Do you mean to say, "1/4 inch wrench"?

Ok, this is said in jest. . A BEER bottle opener that you can attach to your CAR keys with GUN tools so that you can have BEER while messing with your FIREARMS while you are DRIVING AROUND and drink more BEER. I know, add a ROACH CLIP and a PILL SPLITTER!
I'm thinking maybe you should install a baby rattle on it so the kids can play with it while your drinking BEER. . There is a great joke waiting to come out but I'll be darned if I can come up with it this morning! Hahaha!

Seriously, a small display on ever gun shop counter near register or something and they ought to sell like crazy! I think you have come up with a good idea and that can expand and grow into other combo tools. They look very nice! Good job!

No I don't. He lists a '1/4" Broach' in the list of features and I was just wondering what it was. I assume it's the sharp edges coming from the screwdriver tip on each side. I still don't know what size the hex is.
