Show off your multitool mods!

[DaveK]

Very nice Dave.   Might even be nearly as nice as a modded Kick.

Ah, but you didn't see what I did with the left over bit driver from the XTi yet

[RyanMalpiede]

Started the Leatherman Keyman (Micra Mod) craze with these in November 2001.

[Gareth]

Very nice mate.

[DaveK]

Nice mod

[zepla]

Ah ha, for phillips that is! 

Nice work!

[Andreas]

Sigh guess I have some catching up to do in this thread  

[Smitty44]

Nice mods Andreas.

[Andreas]

Just the same carp posted around the forum, but since there's a thread for it all...

[Mate]

You guys are doing it good! Awesome!

There's a separate thread for SAK mods - this is the multitool one.

[Andreas]

A SAK is a multitool as much as something with pliers Most of the SAK mods are already posted in that thread anyways

[Benner]

Don't start that again!!! 

[Andreas]

Let me guess, theres a 20 page thread somewhere with that discussion?

[Benner]

More like 20, 20 page threads. 

[Gareth]

Yes, and it's an argument that I can see both sides of.  However this thread was indeed aimed at at mods other than SAKs, they have a very popular thread all of their own.

[AHB]

Those SAK's doesn't really belong in this thread imo.. 

[Andreas]

Although he doesn't specify that in the first post, I removed the SAKs since that's what I figure he meant. The thread title should be changed though, because by pure self definition a multitool is something that has "multiple tools". I didn't realize there was a discussion on the topic, to me it's as absurd as discussing whether bottled water is still water.

[AHB]

Good call Andreas..

Absurd talk is what we do here.  Perhaps you are on the wrong forum. 

Oh, and SAK's aren't MT's. 

[Mike 56]

We are perfectly normal perfectly normal perfectly normal for crazy people. 

[Andreas]

Oh, and SAK's aren't MT's.  

Then how do you classify the following?
Squirt S4
Swisschamp
Buck Xtract
Two knives with pliers and a leatherman with scissors
If your logic falling apart yet?

[Benner]

Squirt - MT
Swisschamp - SAK
Xtract - MT

So no not really. 

Find the thread and it explains all. 

[Andreas]

I've given up finding threads on here, the search feature hates me  Only thing I found was this, from a very short thread

Interesting point... I think the differentiation here is that a SAK is "based" on a knife, while the standard multitool is based on pliers.... at least in most cases, but then I voted NO on the SAK/Multitool poll...

Again, Buck Xtract? Victorinox Bladeless?

[Benner]

There was a huge debate far more recently than that.  I'll go have a nose...

[Benner]

Ignore the foolish poll at the beginning 

Actually was a good discussion if you can be bothered to read it all.

[Andreas]

Only read to the second page because Gareth had a reply that I don't see how anyone can argue with, and if someone does, I won't be able to sleep at night knowing they exist 

I agree with Yud that in all ways a SAK meets the definition of a multitool and I don't think anyone can realistically disagree.  However in the interests of clarity I think it is easier to have distinctions.  So a pliers based multitool is a MT, a Swiss Army Knife is a SAK, an Atwood is a One Piece Tool etc.

So is a SAK a multitool? Yes, without a doubt. 

Will I be calling it a SAK or a MT?  It's a SAK of course.

[Benner]

Read on    You'll be up for weeks then. 

[Neil]

Ben, your just wrong!

Andreas, you can be wrong too!

[Benner]

I'm never wrong 

[DaveK]

Unusually for Ben - he's actually right about this one.
