Man I love the modded kick Gareth!
I had no idea that the Pulses were so spendy. $70 - $90 on ebay, and there are only a handfull listed.
I've sometimes wondered just how many Pulses were made, they were only in production for four years (2000-2004) and both the PST and the PST II were still in production at the same time. Perhaps they just didn't sell that well at the time?

It doesn't seem like they come up very often. I guess supply vs. demand keeps them high.
Well, I'm still not feeling any warm tingly goodness I'm afraid. I did consider modding it or robbing it for tools or generally just hacking away with a dremel to see if there was a tool hiding in there I liked, but I've decided that would be cruel to those who are trying to get their hands on one (but good for those who bought theirs as an investment I suppose ).I've had some interest already, but otherwise I think it's going to be a bargaining chip should the right "something" (no idea what) appear on the trade forums. Thanks to everyone for your comments though (and big thanks to Paul for the opportunity to try it out)
Sorry Merc, I know you're a big fan. Seems fairest to let it move on to someone who'll get more pleasure/use out of it

I know a lot of folks here love the Vic Spirit, but I honestly can't EDC one because the slippiness of the phillips and the blunt pliers just don't work for me. It's a neat tool, but my Blast suits me far better. The pulse is a huge historical leap for MT's, but you either love it or hate it.
At least you didn't bash LM entirely.
(I hope you realize I was mock-hitting you with a stick)

To be fair I might have stuck at it longer but just got a KF4 through which (other than scissors obviously) I much prefer to the Pulse. The deciding point was I used the Pulse for the scissors and they just took a bit too much time and faffing to get out and put away for me. If I had to do that on a regular basis, I'd end up using my teeth I don't hate it, it's a neat tool and a step in the timeline - but it's not for me. I am a Spirit fan too Quote from: Mercury on July 22, 2011, 06:25:20 AMAt least you didn't bash LM entirely.
