Some of these well used tools do look good

I try to keep mine shiny and clean but am not afraid to use them either; with time I will proudly post my well used gear

Ideally it would be nice to have one of each model; a shelf queen and an EDC

yeah i also look after my tools, although early on with my wave it got tossed in my tool box and left hanging around work sites so im lucky it never got stolen, must admit i was always lucky with this,

early 00 it got put in its pouch on my belt as nature intended

I've used this Juice XE6 so hard, the scales wore off.

Bloody 'ell Dave, you have worked that XE6 hard

Amazing how it made nice triangles as it wore away

That is a work of art though

Kick: light, compact, the most used and the least expensive pliers based tool.

I'm a long time ED knife carrier that's finally branching into MT realm. I figured I'd share my EDC for the last 5 or 6 years. It's a Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops with a tanto blade that I've abused to the point that it's starting to resemble a drop point. With the (painted on?) black finish, it has scratches and scuffs a plenty. Been used for cutting (anything and everything), chiseling, scraping, prying, poking, hammering, rasping (just look at the texture on those handles!), shimming, and driving/loosening screws. After looking over that list, I'd say it's high time I got a multitool. Still, this knife has served me well. At less than $15, it's cheap enough that I don't mind banging it on stuff but still sturdy enough to take everything I dish out.

Welcome to the forum, Cameron. You've gotten your money's worth from that knife.

Ok here it is, my S4 EO1 duo going on two years.

I dug around and found my old Case 6392 Stockman that I carried for years along with a large folder and slip joint pliers on the belt. I havent carried it for along time and has been in a storage box. I need to give it a little TLC.

Id love to have such a tiny adjustable wrench.
Where did you get it and who makes it? I struggle to find anything smaller than 100mm here in germany...

I found this little one at a car boot sale last year. Its very stiff at the moment but I'm sure it'll free up. i can't complain for 10p

No make on it though, sorry.

Shorty66 · **Reply #48 on:** February 25, 2010, 01:12:55 PM

thats a really nice design for an adjustable wrench there neil

Seems like i will have to search further...

Neil · **Reply #49 on:** February 25, 2010, 01:23:41 PM

If left undisturbed in the bottom of a dark tool box for a few years they can grow to quite a size

Zed · **Reply #50 on:** February 25, 2010, 01:41:37 PM

I got a set of 4 adjustable i brought about 7 years ago, the smallest is about under 3inches long, they are out there,

Fondling and affection can have the same effect on certain wrenches...

ten year old swisstool:

Hold up. I demand more details. How exactly is that Powerlock wire stripper attached? Will that work on a Spirit (width?) how well does that set-up work?

Benner · **Reply #54 on:** March 03, 2010, 03:59:04 PM

Looks like it's simply bolted to the lanyard attachment. There was a thread on it somewhere.

thebullfrog · **Reply #55 on:** March 03, 2010, 04:01:39 PM

Yeah I'm actually more curious how much it flops around since the hole is oblong and if not how does he keep it still. I imagine there can't be much holding it on the other side since it would interfere with the pliers closing. But it looks awesome, and if it works decently well and won't be too big, I'm really tempted to do that to my Spirit

Acttually because of the handle shape, I'm not so sure it'd work on the Spirit. Might try anyway though.

Benner · **Reply #56 on:** March 03, 2010, 04:54:13 PM

The older holes were round. Could be one of those.

I'll see if I can find the thread...

thebullfrog · **Reply #58 on:** March 03, 2010, 05:00:36 PM

Ah-ha! I searched and couldn't come up with the thread. Thanx Benner

Hmm, looks like it won't work right with a Spirit because of the size/shape of the tool, but if I get my hands on another Swisstool, I am SO doing that

gafftapegreenia · **Reply #59 on:** March 03, 2010, 05:17:34 PM

The tiny C-wrench I found in a bucket in the checkout isle at a independent industrial hardware store for 99 cents a piece. Maker? Some place in China, naturally. I bought a whole bunch, I might have one extra laying around. PM an address and you might get a surprise.
