Thanks, Steve! I wasn't sure how to do that.

You're welcome, you just needed to use the img. tags by highlighting the address and then hitting the insert image button

When I insert an image, I copy the URL first (Ctrl-Ins), hit the "insert image" button and then just press Shift-Ins. Don't know if it's faster, but it works for me.

So....can anybody identify the loot?

Micra, Spartan, Rambler? The stag-handle Gerber? 


Those bit kits included with cheap tools also work with most Leatherman and Gerber that have the square shank Phillips.

Just came in. Not quite how I expected it, but I’m still very happy with it. Soundwave is one of the few Decepticons I like.

Thank you! I do wish Leatherman partnered with Hasbro, and for the “adult” kids made a Transformers tie-in with the Bumblebee movie as the female lead carries and uses one! For the tie-in product, it could(‘ve) been a silver Rebar with black laser etched artwork for the main character (Bumblebee) on one side, the opposite side showing a battle, and on one side of the main blade an X of 1984 (the year the cartoon and toys debuted).

It would also come in a special edition blister box that resembled the packaging for the Bumblebee movie toy-line, but could be opened and closed without destroying the packaging.

I bought too much stuff.

And it's on the way. $400+ worth of stuff.

Includes two used Swisschamps, and a heap-ton of other stuff.

I know the pain. It is easy to get hooked on steel. I’ve bought four tools for me, and three others as gifts this month alone. So, I’m a bit broke for a few more weeks. I’m also NOT using my next stimulus for a tool, as it would let me pay off my car. That, would be awesome, and save me almost $300 a month in car payments.

Knipex 140mm Combination Pliers.  I like the 125mm Cobras, but these not only work great alongside the Cobras, but great pocket pliers on their own.  I mistakenly purchased these, thinking they were the 6 1/4" (160mm) size I already had, as I wanted a spare.  But, at this size, they should be considerably more pocket friendly, while not losing much capability.

New computer, a Lenovo IdeaCentre 5i, with specs MUCH better than any PC I've had before it (except the 12GB of RAM, which will soon be replaced by 2X 8GB as opposed to 1x 4GB and 1x 8GB from factory). This is also my first gaming PC with a graphics card.  It is primarily designed as a workstation. My needs were college work, gaming, and learning to use CAD software to make my own 3D-printed parts for scale models. I will buy an entry-level 3D printer when I can afford one after just shelling out under $1000 for the PC, the two-year extended warranty, and about $60 sales tax.

The big deal to me is that I can play the big number of games I bought on Steam that either run poorly or not all on the PCs I have at present. Beam NG was originally in the"runs poorly" category, but there was recently a major overhaul to its graphics system, which upped the DirectX requirement, making it incompatible with my (already dated) hardware.  What really excites me is that Automation, not long after it came out, was designed to work with BeamNG to allow me to make my own cars without understanding game modding. But, they were just shells. Now, they have been given interiors, to where they're on-par with the regular and modded cars in the game.  Can't wait to start making a 4WD off-road high power monster.




These are its specs: I also found out it had no CD/DVD drive, which isn't that big of a deal, as one: I rarely use any software that needs disks these days and B: I have a year-old Lenovo external disk drive my folks bought for a security system, only to learn Lenovo only made it for Lenovo PCs.





And, since I bought it to be a gaming machine that also handled my day-to-day stuff, a new Microsoft official XBOX One Wireless controller and a six-foot USB Type C cable from Walmart.  My ten-year-old XBOX 360 wired remote I bought for PC use died a year ago. I had an unbranded controller, really a bootleg of the Switch's controller that was supposed to be PC compatible--which it sort of was for some games, but not all (especially those who had been set up for XBOX controllers--aka most I had). Interestingly enough, it specifically said "NOT XBOX COMPATIBLE" on the box. Cable is because I bet it will eat batteries like crazy, but I'm not investing in the Charge and Play kit because I am picking up Eneloops for my flashlights pretty soon anyway. I'll just remember to buy extra Eneloops. While twelve-foot is recommended, I mostly use it close to the PC, so not a big deal there.

Nice! I've been meaning to get both myself, as I like the ST200's locking mechanism, and the pliers head (which I really like--sturdy, but still fine unlike the modern ST300) on my older model Surge is the same as the Core's.

Back when CRKT had introduced the Mossback Hunter, I viewed it as the perfect fixed blade for me. But, I couldn't afford the $70 price tag, and eventually, it was retired early last year.  I was looking at Blade HQ's  "Bargain Bin" looking at some "scratched" and "box damaged' Spydercos and noticed one for less than $20. The only issue listed was "slight surface rust on edge". That's no problem, as it's bound to happen. Should clean off quickly anyway.

Steel: SK-5. I prefer carbon steel in my fixed blades.
Tang: full. I'm not that hard on my knives, but it's something I prefer. Helps balance as well.
Blade length: 3.2 inches. I like my fixed blades between 3" to just under 4". So, not a problem.
Length OAL: 7 1/4" inches. About right. Anything smaller than that is Kydex, carried in a pocket. Anything bigger will hang up on every piece of equipment and brush I work around. Anything bigger also pulls your pants down.
Weight: 4 ounces. Not much more than my Mora Robust currently being used as my go-to work knife.
Handle material: G-10. While caring for carbon steel isn't much of an issue, caring for natural handle materials is. G-10 is grippy, without the poor wearing with age rubber has.
Blade shape: drop-point without a ton of belly. Just right for the jobs I do.
Blade thickness: .12 inches. Not so thin as it's somewhat fragile, but not so thick it can't do fine cuts and is a pain to sharpen.
Sheath, tube-type. Nylon. May end up making a leather one, or Kydex. It probably won't last the summer, which happened with the basic LM Wave sheath.  But, I like tube-type sheaths because they hold the knife securely without having to bother with straps.

Tried to bid on this last week but eBay blocked it. Seller messaged me today asking if I was still interested!!!

 I have several variations of the MiniGrip/Pocket Grip but not the Blue. First one I’ve seen.
Hoping it gets through customs !

Just need the Eddie Bauer version and I recall there was a camo version too??

 

[cody6268]

Nice! I love blue SAKs.

This may appear to be a bog-standard Sheffield Stainless penknife, but it isn't. It is the standard size, but instead of the smaller pen blade, there is an awl/sacking needle with a sewing eye.   Also, the back handle has a ruler.



I looked up "Wilton Royal".  I believe it to be a British manufacturer of wool pile carpeting--founded in 1741! and still in business today. Either this was an advertiser given to installers, or this was made for the employees that worked the looms. Given my understanding of how looms work in a yarn mill, and how a smaller blade is great for cleaning up when they tangle up (my great uncle worked in a yarn mill) and the smooth, unsharpened awl can serve as a marlinspike (and possible for loading looms/spinning equipment?) and the ruler good for measuring fiber diameter, I believe this to have been produced for their employees.

Oh just two goodies, they’ll be here Tuesday with a few other things for the house..
I already brought home the new cleaning brush, tongs, spatula, and grill cover..
