New military mt?
on: April 26, 2011, 09:53:48 PM
Mhhh

hope this is not a repost, but with the name (I guess it is named "strap cutter" I have not found anything) I have seen this:

http://soldiersystems.net/2010/10/26/gerber-unveils-new-products-at-ausa/

seems very tactical and military oriented but still interesting.

Again, if it is a repost or i made something wrong I hope you all will forgive me and feel free to delete the post.

bye

mhhh I lost the link.. I will look trough my browser history and find where I found more info on that one, it was on a GSA site.

Anyway this tool is aimed at military support personnel working on electrical and networking duty. it has some class 5 networking wire crimper and stuff.. and for the money it costs it is better to be able to crimp even IBM token ring stuff!! (let see how many ppl know token ring..) this tool is listed in the 600USD range.. pricey isn't it?

To the US military, "pricey" doesn't start happening until at least 6 or 7 figures ::)


That Cable Dawg is one hell of a butch looking tool though.. :salute:

It's listed on one website for the "amazing" price of $300; I just don't see it, myself.

With that said, while I was watching the video of the tool, I received major MultiTasker vibes; was that just me, or did anyone else think the same? :think:

I know I said it already but I really do think this looks like a quality bit of kit.  Very speSmurfpillsed perhaps and very pricey but I do like the design. :)

it seems like a clever tool but looks plasticky and is way over priced, although the detachable handle is cool. Does anyone have one?

That detachable knife is pretty cool, the way he pops it right off in the video. 8) I'd missed that the first time around.

If it does the job of several tools and saves weight it is probably worth it to the military,I'm not a gerber fan,but I'm pretty impressed with what I see. :salute:


PS: Nice catch CV1073,and welcome to the forums.

It's worth noting that the Cable Dawg has dropped in price from $750 to $300, not that I'll be getting one, but it's getting more realistically priced.

Hopefully it will drop another couple hundred in the next few months! ;) :D

I bet for a lot of guys even at $300 it would pay for itself in saved trips out to the truck and a seriously downsized tool pouch to carry around every day. That thing takes the place of about 5 things in my tool bag.
