Coolest toy around with an amazing number of features. Unfortunately I didn't notice a tool in the video that allows you to lower the price.

I still want it machined out of stainless steel instead of aluminum

I plan on buying one if I ever go back to a house that actually uses wrenches, but it's just so nice when you design things so you don't EVER need anything but your hands

I have one. It's great not having to even think about where my c-wrench is because for most of my equipment the Ultimate Focus Tool will do the job. And it's always on my belt.

I picked it up at LDI.

that's really cool, but to much money to spend on something that has a good chance of growing legs during a load in.

Good concept, lousy price. At $90 for the Ultimate and $40 for the standard, it is kinda nuts. Sorry, I just can't justify a $90 tool that is more likely to walk away or hide than a C-wrench. You shouldn't have to invest in a tool like this. The profit margin has to be close to 1000% (if not more). If the prices were sub $30 for both versions I would consider putting it in my tool bag.
