I do like how it’s 35lb of crap to basically squeeze on a giant catsup pack.

I like that they solved a legit hardware problem (how to make a very compact press) for the most pointless reason possible

It wasn’t a hard problem at all, it’s just a useless one to solve, which is why nobody bothered.

it’s legitimately hard to make a press that strong in a compact size!

No, you just do what they did- bullshit investors and self-justify a huge COGS to build a sturdy enclosure. Not rocket surgery.

look at the cutaways. That’s a pretty piece of engineering! I’m not arguing that there is any sanity in the process

I work with industrial tooling all day long. Elegant engineering with non-cost sensitive execution basically ALL looks like that

I like the magic that has brought this product into the world with real money, to sell three units and then disappear forever

Oh, totally. I know lots of guys who could build a turboencapsulator dingus that looks like that, but will cost $5k

I was in the Leatherman factory a couple of weeks ago… their tooling will utterly blow your mind. Hard steels, made to 0.0001”
