Why not make it a spanner/wrench?

YOu dont reply to customers? Why is this reviewing one way from ideas. why is there no interaction with reviewer? That's awful way to show. make this reviewing process interactive have comment branch into this. Otherwise this is worse than Kmart review. Make it easy to discuss the topics. Quirky needs to make it better user friendly design. Right now it looks like 1.0 review level. Not interactive enough.

How to make it interactive enough?

Make the person to plug in and group the ideas to category under standard five category of quality assurance. YOu figure out what those are by asking the designer to decide his own category other than standard ones. That should give both the reviewer and designer solid way to track the review.

Organize make it better, make it steve jobs better.

Make it camo, silver, black.

I love the concept of this, but agree with other reviewers that some tools are too thin, and assembly was difficult. Worst of all, my Switch kit was missing the front and back cover parts, so I have to return it to ThinkGeek for a replacement.

An additional idea for improvement, sell an add on kit that comes with the front and back covers, and the end caps. This would let people pick and choose their tools and make two units, like a small and medium one, with different tools.

I purchased a switch modular pocket knife from thinkgeek.com, and I wanted to post a review and offer some feedback.
I love this idea: a pocket knife that I can customize is brilliant. The flashlight and screwdrivers are perfect.

The knives are too short and thin to be useful and the scissors are dull.

I'm frustrated that the small and medium chassis are too small to hold all the tools I want and the large chassis is bigger than I need. Perhaps a spacer could be included, so I wouldn't have to fill the chassis with unnecessary tools?

A spacer may also fix another issue I have: the tools are hard as heck to spin out of the 'locked' position and into the 'ready' position.

The thick axles are a nightmare to change in and out. I can get it about 99% into place, but the last 1% takes 20 minutes of shifting, pulling out, putting back in before it locks into place.

An good idea but might be more appealing if it were available in black as well.

Was pretty much what I expected, but smaller than I had envisaged. The blades and tools need to be longer to be practical. I don't know good the steel is that the tools are made from, but the hubs should have been made from some kind of steel. I ordered mine pretty early in the pre-production stage because at my work I have a use for a multi-tool without knife blades, but the tools are too small for me.

Assembly is very difficult. Then when you finally get it together, the blades are difficult to open and close plus the spring loaded parts open spontaneously.

The aluminum hubs are soft and cause friction in opening and closing the blades.

During prototyping, were stainless steel hubs tried? If so, and they work better the aluminum ones, stainless steel hub should send them to all buyers.

My goal for Switch was a tool I could fly with that would pass TSA screening (i.e. configure with no blades). But Switch is almost unusable. My solution was to buy a knock of leather-man, then to use a Dremel with a cutting disk to saw off the blades so that it would pass TSA rules -- much better than Switch.

I agree with all the one- and two-star reviews. This was such a great concept and design, ruined by terrible engineering and production. I was very excited for this product and I also have a high degree on influence, so I was doubly disappointed when I started playing with the Switch. Some parts are flimsy. The worst part is assembly. It is very difficult to get the tools aligned and get the axles all the way through.
I'm going to keep mine because it's the first product on here I helped develop, otherwise I would want my money back. For $79, you can go buy a nice Leatherman or Garmin multitool.
