Hello from Pittsburgh
on: February 01, 2015, 11:32:18 PM
Been browsing the forum, such a wealth of information and advice. Very cool.

I've had a Vic Swiss Tool for about 10 years which has seen a bunch of camping but mainly resides in the truck. Always felt a little to big to carry.

Recently bought my first Leatherman, a Sidekick which needed a bit of de-horning and a polish but is a nice tool for the money. This quickly escalated into a black oxide Rebar based on many of the positive reviews I read on this forum. Gave it some pocket time at work where it proved very capable.

Added a Vic Spirit purchased from a member here (thanks Matt!) since I was always impressed with the quality of my Swiss Tool. So far it's been great, just carrying it loose in my rfp.

Have a number of bicycle specific tools from back when I was a courier too.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce my self and say thanks for having such a great site.

I have a question for the Pittsburghian here of vital importance - do you think Steelers should try to resign Worilds or simply let him walk?

Good question, he's good but was he worth almost $10 million last year? I say let him walk and draft smart.

I could kiss you. This is my exact sentiment, besides Moats can generate the same production at a lower cost. And lets not forget that Zumwalt and Jones spent a year on the practice squad but were seen as very promising during the preseason last year and while they might not be the next Jack Lambert or Joey Porter, it's a back up that is already there.
