Hello from MA!
on: March 30, 2010, 10:42:25 PM
A few months ago at work, I began thinking, "Dang, I wish I had a screwdriver on me!" or "I need to find some scissors" or "Does anyone know who has some pliers I could borrow?"  Shortly thereafter, I saw my first episode of Survivorman, found out that the multitool he used was something called a Leatherman, checked out the website, and after agonizing over which tool I should get for EDC (well, I didn't know the term "EDC" at the time), I ended up getting a Juice CS4 just under a month ago.  During my decision process, I watched a bunch of YouTube reviews and eventually stumbled on this site.  Now I'm wondering how I lived without my LM and I'm upgrading to a Juice Pro which I just ordered from Smartknives.com, and I can't stop coming back to Multitools.org to hear about all the MTs that are available.  I'm afraid I may be hooked.

Nice, my Pro came in a day early!  Just two days after I ordered it!  I had my doubts about the website (seemed like it hadn't been updated in at least a year) but they came through!  A little gunk on the saw blade but it came right off with some purell, and the pliers are pretty stiff but some oil should fix that.
