Vic workchamp vs. standard multitools
on: October 12, 2007, 05:15:24 AM
I've been wanting to get a vic workchamp just for the sake of having a 111mm model with most of the major implements on it. Plus I figure it could come in handy. Then only problem I've been having though is that I have'nt been able to decide if it really offer anything over multitools that cost about the same. This really isn't something I need, but thought it'd be neat to get. I'm just worried that after I get it I'm going to wonder why I didn't buy something more useful(I've been want a mora 2000 since I first saw one.).

It all depends on how much you use a full size pair of pilers ???, the Workchamp is a great model and has all the tool's you'd expect to find on a multitool, but in a more ergonomic package :) (the woodsaw alone is worth it's weight in gold)

So if you can't see the need for a big pliers, I'd go for it mate :)

Let us know what you end up going for please mate :)

Ah, thanks for that link.  :)


L to R: Farmer (91mm), StayGlow Huntsman (91mm), 111mm models: One Handed Trekker (Pocket Service Tool when purchased), Rucksack, Hunter, Outrider (scissors & #1 Phillips), Atlas (pliers, #2 Philips), Hercules (like the Outrider and Atlas combined), and the WorkChamp (adds a file).

It really puts the size into perspective...the Workchamp appears to be about twice the thickness of my OHT
