I don't think there are too many new designs coming out that require tools. Heck, even most old designs don't require tools for basic field stripping. Glock, Beretta, 1911, AR, AK, FAL, HK-9x, etc don't require tools for basic breakdown. I don't know why companies think .22's should be more complicated than a centerfire pistol or rifle.
If I'm wrong about the tool requirement, my opinions of this new gun will go way up.

While the less complicated than a ruger is very tempting, I too have this concern. It would seem that the screw connection would be a significant wear point overtime after many disassembles and reassembles.
