Keychain Tools - Pocket Wrench II Modification (Skrench & Cruci-fix)

(Sorry, this is my first post. I guess I need to be a little more instructional in my submissions)
From the pocketwrench II purchased from Lee Valley, I was able to create two new modified tools. One I call the Skrench (Keychain Tool Pictured on the Right Below). This small keychain tool is able to not only turn nuts, but also screw and pry. The second one I call the Cruci-fix (3rd and 4th Picture), again able to screw and pry, but also able to hold a philips bit as shown.
I created the pieces using a High alloy hacksaw blade, drilled the piece using tungsten carbide drill bits, and used a motorized grinding wheel for stock removal. I finished both of the pieces off by using a Chicago brand tumbler with rocks and grit for 3-4 days.
