Scissors, on a Supertool   Whaaaaaatttttt? Maybe we should have a nailfile and mascara brush in there too 

Scissors are for little, piddly, girly jobs.

The Supertool series is for big, strong, manly jobs !!!!!!

It's funny b4 I start carry a Supertool I wondered why they didn't have scissors as well But after carrying an original for over a year and now the 300 I can see why they don't Like u say it's for heavy duty jobs I carry a Vic Executive or a Micra when i want scissors

Sounds a lot like an ox- bulky and strong, but castrated and dependent on others. If I didn't mind carrying around a bunch of separate tools, I wouldn't need a multitool.

Lets see here we have the orginal SuperTool, ST 200, ST300. The SuperTool seems to have reproduced quite successfully. Many consider the Core part of that lineage also and if you consider the large tools that came into being to compete with it. I dont think the SuperTool has been castrated by a lack of scissors.

I think scissors have there place just not a heavy duty tool if you want scissors get another tool in the LM like a Wave cause it sounds as though you wouldn't appreciate a ST300 for what it is

Can I point out that the Surge has scissors?  It's not exactly a girly tool is it?*





*Before anyone says it, yes I know the Surge and the Supertool are aimed at slightly different tasks.

[MattBernier]

What I'd really like to see is a tool capable of handling the greatest spetctrum of tasks. The supertool has a lot of things that I wish the Wave still had, like nice, long shanked drivers, for instance. And I'd like to have the strongest possible plier head in pretty much any circumstance. The supertool already has tools meant for more fiddly and "girly" tasks, like the can opener and the awl with sewing hole. Scissors- nice, large scissors- would round out the tool's capabilities and make it essentially a hulked-out version of the Swisstool X. It seems like multitool manufactureres have decided that tools either will be dedicatedly beefy or dedicatedly minute, but what I'd really like is a tool that spans the two.

It's frustrating how close Leatherman and SOG both are to doing that. Make the tools outside accessible and add scissors to a supertool and suddenly you have the most versatile, robust multitool on the market. Make the tools outside accessible on a Powerlock and ditch those ridiculous covers and you have the same thing. Are people really that into having to carry two tools when it would be so easy to correct these inadequacies in one tool?

Yep, girly and rattly actually.

You apparently don't read the threads much 2 alot here carry more than that I carry 1 sometimes but most of the time I carry 2 or more not to be difficult but because I like to carry different tools for different things

 

Man I love the ST300

A Multitool and a Vic Classic on the keys and you're ready to go...

I see your point - but I have a good answer!

I actually don't see the Supertool(s), Surge, Swisstool, Powerlock etc as tools that you actually would carry tbh. I think they're too big.

Of the "big boys" - I have a Swisstool in the car, and heh, one or two big tools in the house, but I wouldn't EDC them - too big and heavy.

[MattBernier]

It's weird, because I'm a pretty small guy, but I'm one of those people who can carry stuff on my belt or in a backpack and the weight will disappear for me. I EDC a SwisstoolX, and I forget it's on me most of the time. I DO realize I'm way in the minority on this.

I'm actually very satisfied with the Swisstool, but as a US citizen I'd love to have a US made tool that satisfied me as well as it does.

I will say this for the Supertool 300 though: I'm one of those who finds the new wave and charge designs awkward in the hand because of the blade holes sticking out, and the new supertool feels much better.
