Ic2 Electric Multi-tool

[BoneDisturbed]

Surprised noone has mentioned Modular Power Armor mod yet, it has a Power-Tool that can be upgraded to act as a Pick-axe, Axe, Shovel, Sword and Ranged Weapon. And that's just the tool, there's a full set of armor too that adds a plethora of modules too like Jetpack, Glider, speed boost and etc. It can interact with IC2 too power it, and GregTech if you think it's too cheap to make.

ehh...

If you want an EU-powered multitool with adjustable block-breaking rates, you should check out Modular Powersuits. It's in the Universal Electricity pack, but it's also compatible with Industrialcraft EUs. It's missing a hoe, though.

As far as I know the lack of RP2 support is because it's under tight lock by Eloraam, not because they don't want to add it. I agree it's a shame though and I would really like to see it added as well (I totally love the OmniWrench).

Anyway I'm probably going to install Modular Power suits. If I'm going to have an OP super suit/tool in my game I might as well have one that I think is totally awesome (instead of Quantum armor). Also, apparently in the future it might also work on MJs through TE (at least there is interaction with TE planned, not exactly sure what though) so that might also be really cool (finally MJ powered tools ). Not to mention all the other cool features/modules planned for it.

I might sound strange, but I don't see the "all in one" tools that appealing.

I mean, pickaxe and shovel is nice, certainly, but I have no problem with carrying around a bag with my other tools in it.
I often even carry 2 enchanted pickaxes along with the drill, the first for Silk Touch, the second for Fortune (I don't trust the rock cutter, it's way too slow for massive usages).

Sure, it is nice to have a tool for everything, but it seems like the only downsides are more EU cost (not a problem for high tier users) and high material cost to build (again, not really a problem when you reach end game).
At least, Modular Powersuit add some downsides, such as reducing your move speed.
