Yes. Very heavy effort needed to move those plastic handles. I prefer flipping my garlic press.

No since I don't have a 40T yet though I flip my Leatherman Wave in public. With it's heavy SS handles it flys like a dream. However I can't seem to get my LM sideclip to flip as well. Oh well life happens.

My girlfriend's parents have a combi wine/glass bottle openers, which I found pretty good flippers. Actually better than my current bali. Excactly the same prinsipe - the 'handles'* would move just like bali handles (180 degs on the blade). Very sweet.
My gf, however, thought I was pathetic when I had to flip everything.
* The 'handles' are really used to open the wine bottle. You screw the screw down into the cork, and then you push the 'handles' down, and the cork goes up!
In case you didn't understand it, the cork screw/combi glass bottle cap opener would work as the blade.
