Adam and Jamie both use Leatherman AlX's. On jamies I saw jamie hyneman etched on the scale and on adams i assume it says the same thing

Crap I posted this on the wrong thread!

Def, Leatherman123 has had a whoops!

I don't know what you mean? It looks like it's in the right section to me!

One question though- why would Adam want a tool with Jamie's name on it?

Haha that was a bad post! Jamies says jamie and adams says adam

You had me wondering...

Yeah, I don't know what the hell I was thinking!

J-sews · **Reply #7 on:** December 04, 2007, 04:07:43 AM

ALX's? This is about the fourth different type of multitool reportedly being used by these guys on their show.

Tell me, what kind of strange twisted individuals would need to own several different multitools? Aren't they all pretty much the same?

Viper · **Reply #8 on:** December 04, 2007, 05:38:35 AM

Well an Old Wave, a Gerber, and a SOG have all been 100% confirmed.

ALX..... plausible.

I'm 100% sure that jamie used the ALX because it is black aluminum and it has a blasting cap crimper

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #11 on:** December 05, 2007, 02:05:10 AM

Seems to me they would have good use for blasting cap crimpers!

Haha Prime, my girlfriend says that too! I just bought a Charge TTi from Cabelas a few days ago and she was like how many tools do you need? Then shes like- seriously, you have two whole dresser draws full of them. And thats not even including the red U.S Army knives! I'm like WOW!

Clearly an essential feature for them. Shouldn't everyone have one?

Mythbusters Episode "Viewer Myth Special"

Cigarette butt through the heart

Jamie uses a gerber to pick at the parts of the butt that penetrated the ballistics gel dummy.
The large pivot "button" was silver and appeared Dome shaped with raised ridges.

Recoil?

Leatherman123 · **Reply #18 on:** January 26, 2008, 04:26:10 PM

Yes, indeed it was! he also has a Charge ALX, Freehand, Powerlock, Kick, and the Recoil. On the Shooting Fish in a Barrel myth he uses the Kick. I personally think he likes the Powerlock the best because that is the one he is always carrying!

Sea Monster · **Reply #19 on:** January 26, 2008, 11:54:16 PM

Product placement, or does our moustachioed friend have a secret passion?

Anthony · **Reply #20 on:** January 27, 2008, 12:47:05 AM

If Leatherman "bought" their way into the show, I'm sure there would be a "no other multitools used on camera" clause

Do you think so?

They don't get excessive screentime. Adam and Jamie (or one of their lackies) could have just asked for a few freebies and said they might use them on set - even a few seconds of screentime on a respected show is worth at least the cost of 100 multis - Even more so in the case of a show where they are not especially advertising them, as they now look to use them unbiasedly.

On the other hand- why would they need freebies. That show must have some crazy resources for some of the stuff they do.

Sea Monster · **Reply #22 on:** February 02, 2008, 10:07:17 AM

Myth Busters Myth - Gun in an Oven.

jamie uses a Multi on the wires strapping the gun to the tray.

Could have been a Charge?

Leatherman123 · **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2008, 02:55:57 PM

Certainly was! I saw that one awhile ago! I saw Adam using a Charge ALX on the recent Plane on a Conveyer Belt: he used the guthook to cut a piece of the paper they were using! I also noticed that he uses the serrated blade all the time! I have never seen him use the straight edge knife- well besides on the Underwater Car Myths show-he used his WAVE clip point knife to pierce the tire to try to breathe from! Also, I made an interesting discovery! You know Jamies Powerlock sheath he always has on his belt? He carries a Gerber Recoil in it. I saw him using it ten times on the show..

nezza33 · **Reply #24 on:** April 26, 2008, 01:37:23 PM

I was just watching Mythbusters and jamie was using a sog powerplier the take the slug out of a bullet shell. i have also seen the old wave and a gerber. I think they both own Alxs.

Roadie · **Reply #25 on:** April 26, 2008, 02:01:25 PM

In the new Alaska special Adam uses a Charge while testing the cabin fever myth.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #26 on:** April 26, 2008, 03:14:03 PM

Yeah, and Adam had his Charge ALX on the table.

duckman1975 · **Reply #27 on:** April 26, 2008, 03:40:01 PM

Maybe they are also multitool buffs, they might be just rotating there EDC. Funny never seem to notice if they use a SAK.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #28 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:07:38 AM

I just saw Jamie using a SURGE in the new Prison Escape episode!

BTW, that's a Charge Ti in the above pic!

I believe some Administrator, Moderator type person should try to contact MythBusters and see if the stars would be interested in a guest appearance on MT.O.
