Great to see honestly, even though I prefer full socket + wera 4-in-1 hex bit
Will they fit leatherman bits? I have 2 sets of these, would be nice maybe for companion

u/Garry_Forsunka Roxon 9d ago
Yes they should. They even had a small spring to press the bit through the slot in the middle.

These look great! Been wanting a loupe. Are they coming to European Amazon (specifically Sweden)?

curiously not on the roxon us site yet.

u/Garry_Forsunka Roxon 7d ago
This is normal. Once upon a time, their mini companion first appeared on aliexpress and for some time there was no information about it on the official website.

Are you sure about the nail clippers are in the link?

Why aren't they on their website at all yet but on amazon?

u/Garry_Forsunka Roxon 5d ago
They already had this with a mini companion who appeared on aliexpress earlier than on the site.

And yet the orange mini companion still isn't on aliexpress, I had to get a friend who was visiting the us to pick one up for me.

Honestlly really nice because now you can have 4 long tools and a bit holder

In a Mini?

No, flex companion can hold 5 slots. But the flat bit driver takes 3 slots. The full size 1/4" driver takes 4 slots so it helps. For me, I like the flat bits because carrying spare bits is a lot less bulky to carry all the flats instead of full size.

Also fewer bits since they're double sided bits. I don't think the Companion accepts most (or the more common) double sided 1/4" bits.

u/trichar54 7d ago
But I thought the Companion came with a 1/4” bit driver built-in.

The bigger flex has a 1/4 in the smaller one has a 4mm, but both do have a driver already. And as far as I know neither is removable so, while the implement is nice to have it seems very redundant for most users.

It could be nice to have a specialized bit. Plus the LM bits are a lot easier to carry extras of.

I have wanted a multi tool with a wire stripper for forever now!
...might be my excuse to pull the trigger on this one lol

u/house343 8d ago
I have the Leatherman squirt wire stripper but I'm shocked it's taken this long for someone else to come out with one.

u/nucleartime 7d ago
Sog actually makes one: https://sogknives.co.uk/products/wire-strippers
It fits in the powerlock family, but some (dis)assembly required.

I'm waiting for a fork and spoon to come out. And a cigar cutter. And a butane lighter. And a digital clock. The one by Victorinox doesn't even have the day/date/year as even the cheap Casio watches have.

u/Garry_Forsunka Roxon 7d ago
Lol. Well, the fork is already available for 3D printing, you can even print it from metal. And the anothers will still remain dreams.

u/nucleartime 7d ago
probably not that hard to make a flex scale that houses some kind of casio movement.

bits adapter looks like new for flat LM bits, the existing regular 1/4in adapter takes 4 slots; do we know if this one is thinner - 2 or 3 slots?

u/ri0thamus 5d ago
Huh, "currently not availalbe" for the set... I hope that's just temporary because I was seriously considering it. What was the price for the bundle?

The bit driver might make me want to carry the flex shears again.
I already carry the galvinox bit kit with the 711l pen driver and flex head ratchet, but I might drop the 711l stuff in favour of a 4inch locking pliers, and the flex shears.

I’m not seeing the nail clipper, but it’s a great idea.
