Multitool Time Line

[ari6126]

I think the Micro ToolClip should be moved to 2011. Also, we need to add the new Gerbers.

[J-sews]

Hmmm I'm thinking the Micro ToolClip should stay in 2010, as that is when they were announced (January) and when the first ones shipped (December)

We could put the ToolLogic Micro ToolClips in 2011 though!

What would be REALLY cool  would be including the products production run time , that is the year they stopped being made

...along with a picture of each tool! Now wouldn't THAT be cool?!





Now all we need is a volunteer

hi, in the OP is the Leatherman Rebar missing? (sorry if someone else asked the same question before). When was the Rebar released?

Technically, the Rebar was first shipped to pre-ordered and BIN orders a couple days/a week ago.
