Personal Impressions:
The sheath that comes with the Pichi X2 is charming, resembling a little leather boot. Although I don't usually carry it this way, the carabiner makes it convenient to attach to various items. The magnetic flap does a great job of keeping the tool secure while making it easy to access.

The ratcheting wrench is the star of the show. It's a simple design, but beautifully executed, with plenty of teeth to grab a hex nut or bolt, and a movement similar to a socket wrench. The 1/4 magnetic bit driver is neat and has come in handy a few times in a pinch. However, the location and lack of onboard storage limit its frequent use.

The scalpel blade is a nice addition, offering a super sharp edge for tasks that require precision. It complements my normal carry well, particularly in scenarios where a regular pocket knife might not be suitable. However, the lack of a locking mechanism means that care must be taken when opening and closing it to avoid injury.

The pry functionality is decent but somewhat awkward due to its 45-degree angle. While this design has its benefits, I generally prefer a pry end that is in line with the handle for better leverage.

Conclusion:
Overall, the Pichi X2 is a good product that packs a lot of functionality into a compact design. Despite some design compromises, it remains a versatile and reliable tool. Whether you're looking for a robust pry tool, a versatile ratchet wrench, or a sharp scalpel blade for precise tasks, the Pichi X2 delivers on multiple fronts.
