Bring me up to date guys

[Benner]

Been out the game for a scary 8 months!!    So need updating on what 2011 has brought to the MT game.

Anyone care to give me a list of any new tools that have made an appearance?

[Sparky415]

    Perhaps you could introduce yourself in the New Member Forum before asking this sort of question 




Hi Ben 

Good to see you Mate 

[Benner]

I did consider it!    But figured the famous "Benner pose" would ensure everyone knew who I was

Victorinox introduced the one-hand Spirit and the MiniSwissTool (keychain sized Spirit, very cool)

[Benner]

You yanking my chain there pal, or have Vic finally listened to Bob after all these years?!

Did you see the upcoming Leatherman Wingman and Sidekick?

Did you see the upcoming Leatherman Wingman and Sidekick?

Im pretty excited about both. I'm thinking i'm going to buy both but I might wait until some testing gets done and see how people like them.

[Gareth]

hang on have a look through this lot:

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,25392.0.html

that should keep you entertained for a few minutes.

I just think it's a shame that they're dropping the Kick and Fuse to make room for them.  It'll just leave the Blast as the last of the 'box' style tools LM pioneered.

Thanks for the link. WAIT WHAT they are dropping the Fuse and Kick......... I think I need to buy at least two more of each.

Thanks for that Gareth

So we've heard.  I suppose it makes sense in that the Kick and Fuse are their current entry level tools, now to be replaced by their two new entry level tools.

[Gareth]

Thanks for that Gareth 

NP Ben.  There's this too:

I'm pretty mad about them discontinuing the Kick and Fuse. I sure hope the Wingman and Sidekick live up to there roles.

[Benner]

Thanks for that 

Think I prefer the originals.

[Gareth]

TBH I'm not even that big a fan of the originals.

[Benner]

The Freestyle I quite like.  Compliments a SAK quite nicely.
