Gracias! :)



On a different note; I wonder when exactly Buck changed the plier head, and why? :think:

Maybe to support the plier on the handle when twisting..?  :think:

That's what I thought too, but.......then I realized the one with the bigger cast bracing (nearest to the camera) came first! :think: :think: :think:

It looks like the early version should be stronger with the extra bracing on the head but the newer style seems to have less flex in the handles, at least on the ones I have

I did not notice the plier difference. I will have to look at mine.
I bid on another tool clip last night but gave up at 77 dollars with shipping so the other guy got it for a dollar more.

Very nice birthday present AHB. Those are getting harder to find. Is it a user or collection piece? Nice picture also.
How can I justify my next multitool?
