Considerations & Trade-offs
- At 17 tools, the Truss covers a wide range of tasks, but it is still a compact multi-tool rather than a full-size dedicated tool kit.
- The 2.25" fine blade and 2.25" serrated blade are built for utility tasks, so users needing a larger primary blade will need to carry one separately.
- Spring-loaded pliers and butterfly opening improve access, but the format still requires two-handed handling for many tasks compared with a standalone tool.
- The MOLLE-compatible sheath adds carry flexibility, but it also means the tool is intended to be carried as part of a setup rather than loose in a pocket.
