Armbar Scout

The Armbar Scout swaps the Armbar Drive's bit driver for a saw and a can opener, aimed at campsite rather than workshop tasks. It has no pliers: 88 g, 91.4 mm closed, with a 63.5 mm frame-locked plain blade, spring-loaded scissors, pry bar, bottle opener and hammer. A pocket clip is fitted to the stainless frame.

Stainless steelThe manufacturer does not say which steel this is. "Stainless" covers everything from soft 420J to premium powder steels, so on its own it tells you almost nothing.Treat an unnamed steel as a budget stainless until the maker says otherwise. A maker who uses a good steel usually names it. Editorial guidance, not a measured specification.
