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

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

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?  ???

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

ALX..... plausible.  :D

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

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?

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!

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

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.

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?

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..

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