Not sure where you could fit another blade.

My old standard, the Swiss Champion has several screwdriver blades, and I rarely used anything but the Phillips, the large or the small, though the mediums were harder to get to on the back.

The assorted bits should make it a GREAT tool for bikers, as you can buy the sets and configure a kit with the correct slotted, Torx, and hex bits to make small repairs possible. Only thing missing for that is an adjustable wrench in the 3/8"-5/8" range, and a BFH.

It would also be nice if someone figured out a way to use standard 1/4" bits and sockets, and did as suggested and used S-30V blades where possible.

Just my .02, I think it is a great improvement on an already excellent design.
