Interest in FRED's
on: April 14, 2009, 04:44:19 AM
Hey guys :)

I got a contact who can get me a bunch of FRED's and I could organise a group buy if anyone is interested :)

What are FRED's well they are - Field Ration Eating Device or F@#$ing Ridiculous Eating Device.

These guys resemble the P38 Can opener but a pack a few extra cool and handy features including a bottle opener and spoon! Kinda like a multitool :P



If anyone is interested send me a PM or just post a reply so I can get a quote of a group buy! I am planning to get a few of these so I thought I would just put this thread up if anyone is interested.

I believe my good man Nomad posted it somewhere on this thread

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,2956.0.html

I tried to get issues, but the business has been trying to get issues for 18months with no luck so this is the best thing besides the issues :)

For now these are sold in packs of two as seen above :)

I have asked if I can discount for a large purchase also I have asked for more info on these copies e.g. steel, maker, where's it made etc.

ATM I am getting offered about 8AUD or 6USD or 4 Pounds and this is for a pack of two :)

I believe they have already been phased out!

It's a great lil collectible imo. Yup that's a can opener. It's pretty much a P-38 BUT COOLER!!!!!
