Most excellent write-up, your NeuroPsychoMagneticus.

Although I do question the accuracy of your report somewhat (rusty Leathermans, pfft

) it was riveting nonetheless.

Now quit with the inside jokes and give us some more pictures!

With captions this time!

Benner · **Reply #61 on:** April 20, 2009, 12:34:09 AM

I've got a few pics, will post them ASAP.

Let her have it if she promises to buy you a nice Cheap F1 instead

I believe Ryan has a heavily damaged one going cheap

Dunc · **Reply #78 on:** April 20, 2009, 04:39:39 PM

Now while I have to agree the pics are fantastic I can't believe I have only seen one plier based multitool ( Looks like a LM pst ) so far

Where are the Swisstools ?

Dunc

nuphoria · **Reply #79 on:** April 20, 2009, 04:42:38 PM

There were a shedload of multis but not being left out on the table and thrown around!

Mikey showed me his Spirit and now I probably need one... oopsy!

A Spirit is a very sensible choice and very capable . What are your thoughts on the full size Swisstool ? I understand Mike came away with another one

Tool pics weren't high on the agenda, we were considering a whole meetup tool shot but figured we'd still be there putting Dave's leathermans away! I might have a few more i'll have a look when i get home this evening

It had already been decided some time ago that you would be doing the write-up Mike. There was never any real chance that you'd squirm out of it

It's not for the want of trying though

This looks like too much fun guys! I have got to make it to that midwest US meet sometime this summer! I will try to chronicle it half as well as you have done Micky D

I also will have to hammer out plenty more mods before then as well

Oh and perhaps, following Scibeer's suit (as it went down in Sacramento), I will have to bring all of my modding supplies and make something there

A hot temper and a love of axes is always a good combination

Personally I've got my eye on a nice Gransfors Bruks...never thought I'd fall for a pocket axe but MickyD's is a dream
