Just Ordered my First Plier Style Muti-Tool!
on: August 04, 2009, 06:49:35 PM
Ordered the Leatherman Charge TTi for $90 shipped. Seems like a great deal, I'll see about that.  :cheers: This is my first muti-tool, i have a Wenger SAK currently on the keychain.

What should I do upon receiving it? Polish it or oil it?  :climber:

Question: Some TTi i see on videos have the sliver colored handle whereas the TTi on the LM website shows it in grey color. Which is it?

Good choice :tu:
The thing you should do when you receive your first multitool is fiddle with it - open and close every tool and generally play around with it for hours. That's what I did anyway :D

Welcome to the forum by the way :tu:

Excellent choice for your first plier style multi-tool!  I love my Charge and I'm sure you'll love yours too.  :tu:

Yeah, good choice for a first tool.  The Charge is an excellent tool in many respects.

Be sure to check the liner locks deploy before you first use it.  I've had some problems with LM liner locks in the past but they improve loads if you open and close the blades for a while.

Good luck with it mate :)

In the seat slasher thread you said you already had a Leatherman...?  I think it was a Blast?

Foolishness.

Is that your myspace Slashmaster?
Not me, I've never had a Gerber. I do know this guy though, he keeps asking me if he can borrow my LM Blast so he can do this. I keep telling him no because if he lost his Gerber to the bus driver he will lose my LM to him.
