Though I do not have a DSLR and lightbox, etc,  I think I will join this challenge this year.

which tool to review  :think:

Excited your going to enter buddy.  How about a Cybertool  :think:

I might do that one day,  but for this I had something in mind that was not a physical tool (a software MT).  after asking an admin, and a little thought I decided to do a traditional MT, and I will still do the software MT as a users guide as soon as I have the time.
If I can help, let me know

  Kinda like Microsoft office when you try to highlight a word, and it insists on adding the space at the end!  :viking:

Haha, I so freakin hate that!

I know right,  like "I am driving here Microsoft, get out of the way!"

I am so much happier in linux, with LibreOffice, but at work it is Microsoft, so I do understand

Another one, not sure if this counts, as it is not a MULTI tool, just a single blade cutter.
Ceramic Cutter
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

OK folks, this one has a little less than 12 hours to go, so get your reviews posted.  Make sure you post a link in this thread so as I know to enter it in the competition. :tu:

Sorry we didn't make it. Our review is coming, but it has to wait until we are a little less stressed out.  :(

So, I officially give my cup of luck to the other participants!  ;)

No worries, I hope we can do the review competition at least 3-4 times a year. We've been discussing it for a while but hopefully this year we can make it work. :hatsoff:

And I have a day to read through all the entries and pick my favorites. :ahhh

OK folks, the results are in.  I have to say it was very close run thing for a while, but eventually we had a clear first and second place.

In second place, winning the CRKT Guppie, with her review of the IDL T10, we have Lynn LeFey. :cheers:

In first place, winning the Leatherman Coyote Tan OHT, with his review of the Leatherman OHT, we have jzmtl. :cheers:

And to me... Wohoo! I get a CRKT Guppie! I've had this on my list of things I'd like to try out for a long while now.

Thanks to MTO, Leatherman, and whoever generously donated the Guppie for this competition.

Then I'd like to extend special thanks to CRKT for the generous donation, which I will hoard, and covet, and review when i've had a chance to play with it a bit. The Guppie is a cool and funky design, and I'm thrilled to have it coming my way. Thanks, CRKT!!

Lynn, I think you'll enjoy the Guppie, but be careful -- it lacks scissors! :pok: :D

Hohoho, sweet.  :D My girlfriend has been trying to steal my leatherman (wouldn't take any gerber though  ::)), so maybe I can use this to stave her off.

I would like to thank all the generous donors as well.

Congrats both of you.

Maybe I will, I think I ran out of stuff to review.  :P
