Buy the Sidekick for The STUFF

[Accujohn]

Not sure if anyone else shares my love of useful extras, but the leather pouch is great for pocket bit kit carry, and the carabiner is cool to clip your Style cs to or??? Anyway, i also carry the MUT wrench in the pouch with the bit kit. So, you get those 2 cool items for under $40, and they throw in the multitool. Go get it!

I can picture Leatherman eventually selling the carabiner as an after market add on.  And even possibly making their own "Atwood-esque" tools,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,given time

I am all over the Sidekick, for the same reason! Need to order one up soon.

So who's gonna be first to buy one of each so one can be torn into parts to use to customize the other one?

Im not going to be the first, but I see myself buying them both so I can have the straight-edge blade, nix the little serrated one. have the clamshell opener for various scraping kinds of duties and the scissors.

I also like the idea of having the little extras. I also like the idea of putting it all into the handles of the "wingman" because I think its a better name than "sidekick."

Never thought of actually doing it until I saw this thread, but, yep...I can see myself doing it.

I'd do it but I'm currently tapped out after buying a new Crunch, an Endura 4, a Dragonfly 2, and a Zebralight SC60w... 

But I'm with you GP on the tool compliment...  I want the scissors instead of the saw, and the PE blade.  Not sure about the clamshell opener though...  but you're right, my experience with them has been they're better as a scraper/gouge/etching tool than a package opener...  The little serrated blade would come in handy too...

The only question then, is would it be a "Sideman"?  "Wingkick"?  "Wingside"?

It is a tool on the Wingman specially designed to open the clam shell packaging tools and other products come in. It is next to the file on the right side in this picture.



This is clam shell packaging.

I knew what a clamshell is (via my 7 year old's toys mainly) but i totally missed the tool. Hmmm. Would love to try that out i really dont need another tool....

[Accujohn]

Thank you btw!!!

[captain spaulding]

No problem. I figured I would cover everything just in case.

Depending on how easy it is to remove the blade on the two models I want to put the plain edge on the wingman.  I was looking at a review of the wingman and they reviewer noted the clamshell package opener was good for sharpening pencils.  So that may be another use for that tool.  I have the sidekick clipped in my pocket right now but I am waiting to get the wingman when they make it to my local Home Depot in the next few weeks.

I just want a sidekick with the Saw replaced with Scissors.  I would be in heaven.
