Customize your Switch’s width by swapping out the inner axles, or group your tools into different “themes” – home, office, outdoors, etc.

- Tools made of high quality stainless steel, with some plastic parts.
- Plastic case to keep all parts organized and secure.
The Switch set includes:
- 2 exterior body covers, for encasing the tool attachments.
- 2 slotted caps to hold the tool together, which can be removed with the twist of a quarter to disassemble the unit.
- 3 interior axle assemblies – small (2-6 tools), medium (4-10 tools), and large (7-13 tools) — which can be swapped in and out depending on your desired tool width.

aside from the flaws pointed out in the earlier reviews. This would be great if you could incorporate your keys into as some of the blades e.g. like the leatherman-key hacks you find on the web. I would gladly give up some of the tools (like a saw blade- come-on this isn't woodworking tool, it's an "in a pinch" pocket tool) in order to accommodate keys. Make it as streamlined as possible to fit as easily as possible and you've got yourself a new way of holding all your keys+tools.
Great idea. Very poor execution. This is a product Quirky should be embarrassed by. Very poor quality. Very difficult to assemble. Very obvious problems that should have been caught WAY before the product was in customers hands. Spring loaded tools popping out on their own, very difficult to assemble. Not firm feeling. Some tools are very hard to pull out. Just a big disappointment all together. I had bought 2 of these at preorder. One for me and one for a friend's birthday (though I gave it to her way late due to the massive production push-backs). After playing with mine first, I was nearly embarrassed to give her hers. Mine sits in a box and I don't ever touch it. Very sad.
This looks just like one I bought from the Maker store a year or so ago. That one was lacking in fit and finish, it seemed to me. I returned it. I hope this one is better, but to me it looks the same in the photos. Was it actually developed via Quirky?
