Schrade/Vise-Grip 6LC Toolbox

[MultiMat]

I have had 1/2 an eye out on a Vise-Gripe 6LC ToolBox. They do not come up for sale very often. A couple of months a go I was going to buy a 'Buy it now' one for around $20us but it got snaffled whilst I waited for a shipping quote  . The one I did get was a new in clam shell one for buy it now $15us & reasonable shipping to OZ listed  . An identical one went for $50us in an auction. I get the impression that a lot of them got sold at clearance prices , hence the 'cheap buy it now' ones that come up 

My one is a little bit cool as it has a leather sheath(apparently a special offer). The sheath looks like it is based on a knife sheath & is quite bulky , but cool non the less.

                                                                                                        The tool box is a small Vise grip tool but a large Multitool

                                                                                                                            Looks like a stubby gun barrel

                                                                                                                              Tool bit holder with supplied double ended bit.

                                                  Interesting how Schrade always put serrations on their phillips heads  (this is a different pattern to what is on their fixed drivers)

                                  What happens when you do not use double ended bits  Core came to the rescue as the Toolbox also has a magnet to hold bits in.

                                                    The single bit solution  . If I keep using the Charter membership tool in my photos I am hopping Def will give me a discount on my renewal

thanks mate

[J-sews]

Hmmm, odd that mine has a different main blade than yours Mat:

[MultiMat]

My ones SPECIAL 

It has surprised me the 4 Schrade MT's I own (ST1 Tough Tool, 6TC , 6LC & Navitool) I have found no identical tool bits shared across the range(possibly one ). Can not have been cost effective 

[J-sews]

Yah, I know what you mean. There is even considerable differences in blade selection on my ST1's, even though three of them were made in the same factory within just a few years span

[MultiMat]

No surprise really then , that Schrade went belly up.

Bob have you got one of those leather sheaths 

[jzmtl]

Hmmm, odd that mine has a different main blade than yours Mat:

And of course while the rest of us have never heard of it before, bob already have one. 

[J-sews]

Bob have you got one of those leather sheaths 

Leather??   I'd say those cows were fed a diet rich in paperboard and other corrugated nutrients

Ahhh. Found your same knife on the little cousin 5WR.   The entire "multitool" handle of both models looks identical. They must have interchanged them between the two.

You're just jealous

[Mr. Whippy]

Nice tool.  

I particularly like the jaw shape of the visegrip.  I have a larger version of those jaws I use on stubborn oil filters.  Good for welding projects too.

Leather??   I'd say those cows were fed a diet rich in paperboard and other corrugated nutrients

But Bob it says Limited Leather sheath on the packet 


Another interesting thing that was on the listing description that looked like it may of come from the manufacture was this ;


Technical Details

Adjustable locking pliers with large 2-inch capacity
Knife blade locks at 180 degrees
Powerful wire cutter will also cut up to 1/4-inch bolts
Magnetic insert bit holder locks at 90-degree and 180-degree

Bob do you mind seeing if yours cuts 1/4-inch bolts 
I could not find this technical info any ware on the packaging or instructions that came with the tool. Have you come across the bolt cutting info Bob.
