Sazabi was kind enough to get me the US version. I don't have it yet.

It hasn't arrived here yet, but it should arrive in the next day or two. :tu:

Guess what just arrived today!

I find it interesting that the shade of green is quite different between the two copies.


Flip them over and you can see the differences.


The corkscrew version is nice. I still am not that big of a fan of the handle geometry though. I must be in the minority, otherwise, why make so many different variants?

Nice colour variation, until there side by side you'd probably not notice the difference. Its certainly an odd shape, looks nicer folded up than it does with pliers out. As much as I like a nice chunky screwdriver that rescue cutter hook is pretty neat, great pics :tu:

The question I have is if the parts are interchangeable between them for modding.

I too still very much dislike the handle geometry.  That's why I've never replaced the corkscrew one I had that I gifted to my mom.  The really crazy thing is that she likes it and actually uses it with her crafts project stuff!  :o
SAK pliers rock!!! Stop the hatin'!!!
