Maggie's Review

December 10th, 2006

Summary:

The Mega Blaster is the right idea for an at-home or car tool, but the importance of being able to hold onto it, its function, is forgotten amongst the other bells and whistles.

Review:
My review of this is semi-split depending on the function you expect this tool to have. If you want something light to throw in your pocket and take on the hill with you, this is not a good option. Mega is an appropriate title as it is large for a tool and has many small parts that are easily lost. If you want something to keep in your garage or workshop, I like the choices in bits that the blaster offers.

The different bit options are a plus, but the comfort and maneuverability you need when working on bindings and straps are hindered by the small handle. It is difficult to find the right way to hold this tool because the mechanism to open it up and change bits is where I naturally grip. While this is a great workshop tool, it is inconvenient to have the small pieces falling out when trying to grip it.
