TopGear S12E08 Multitool
« on: February 05, 2012, 04:39:09 AM »
Hello fellow multitool folks. I am having a bit of a TopGear-athon. Now I think I spotted a multitool in use here in the Vietnam special. After several runs at slow speed from the video, this was the best still shot I could get. I think this is a multitool being used here. I have no idea what it is and it is James May using it.

I have seen it so  many times but never noticed! Funny as f....

Looks like he is using an LM Wave.

That's definitely a Wave that Hammond is using, to repair his model ship IIRC.  I'm not so certain what May is using on his scooter though. :think:

Are you sure that's a Wave?  That blade screams SURGE to me.

I'm not sure which tool Richard is using here, I also tought it was a Surge, but then again, a Wave would look like a Surge in the hands of Richard "Hamster" Hammond  :D.

Well I did consider the SURGE as well, but it really doesn't look big enough in his hand, does it? :think: 

I think I'm going to stick with my assessment of a Wave gents.  The fasteners look Wave-like to me and the outside tools on the side facing us would be PE blade and saw exchanger on a SURGE.  In the pic those look like the PE blade and wood saw to me, as found on the Wave. 

I'm prepared to eat humble-pie if I'm wrong though. :D
