My MT aspirations for 2012 are just to simplify.

Get rid of things that do not do me any favours and let someone else get enjoyment from them (in use or collections), and also to effectively pair up items into winning combos. To a certain degree I've had success with this already, but I want to take it further and get away from picking up a tool and then trying to figure out what to team it up with for the day - just have everything ready in kits to grab and go which are effective but without too much duplication of features.

I dare say this'll see me acquiring some new items, but I'll be figuring out what as I go along

Definitely looking to pick up a REBAR at some point, also thinking about an Octane and wanting a look at the Balance when it comes out as well.

[Zed]

Some cool ideas and tols there guys, the rebar is on my list later in the year, ive been put off the wingman and sidekick and fancy a LM free year    im trying out m,ainly Toologis gear and sogs and of course SAK's (again)  im also trying to not have doubles of tools when pairing up, i feel the S31 will be cool for modding i hope

No need for modding the Paratool mate, just cut something else from your setup...

Although Alan probably the huntsman will be a good pairing with it

Sounds like a good plan Paul..

this is going to be a year of SAK's for me i think. apart from getting more SAK's this year i want to get a wingman (maybe next month). and at some point this year i would like to get either my first charge tti or my first swiss tool.

and if other people like the rebar then maybe ill get one. but if the tools clump like the super tool 300 then i might not. ill see.

[dks]

I will just buy various multitools/SAKs that I will be convinced that I really need  and are very usefull and when they arrive I will realise that they do exactly the same things as my other multitools and I will be worried to use them in case I scratch them so I will just use regular tools, the Moras, some cheap chinese SAK copy for the dirty work and my LM Micra..
 

 

[Zed]

5hif7y i like clumping 

DKS cheap SAK , go on use a real one  although my alox Cak is as good if not better than all 3 classics ive had on my keychain and lasted longer, i even found it after i lost it    what i also love about it is its alox scales with tweezers and toothpick

i cant see whats good about clumping, is it easer to use for you? i find it a pain to get the right tool to lock.

i just find if its cold you can grab the easyer tool to remove say the file and then the others follow to you can then select the smaller fiddly ones  TBH i dont mind one way or another but its never been a issue with me but i know many dont like it, I guess its like marmite

Love it 

But you do realise tools get better once you've scratched them up a bit, right?

NO, I do not! 

 

[edcgear]

Well more or less I started with post in BST...

I'd like to get those I don't use out, for someone to give them better home...

As far as MT's I'd like to get
- SwissTool X post 2005

As far other gear... I'd like
- Hi lm torch non tactical look
- CC Pilot Auto Watch
- Contigo
- Some SAK's

Leather and brass...

Nothing specific except to say that I am NOT buying a Rebar until I've rad the reviews here!Lesson learnt after the Wingmnan!

Rather think theres gonna be more SAKs,and a few modded ones at that!

Same here Kirk, i asked about the wingman/sidekick and got bad vibes plus read the review (not good) plus there seems a QC issue as well ive noticed  i would pick one up if going cheap but fancy a LM free year for a change, i also fancy some modding this year, who knows   

[Chako]

Me? To continue grazing from the old and new MT lineups, and a few SAKs for good measure.

  Love the metaphor

[Syph007]

I'll be mostly filling in the gaps from each manufacturer that I dont have.  Sog powerassist, swisstool x, LM ST300.   Then lots of SAK Alox... and many many mods to those alox hopefully!

[Sazabi]

To get either a ST300 or Rebar for my toolbox... and to continue putting together a good loadout for aforementioned toolbox.

[jojotlc]

..i .... A long way too go but a steady filler with BO SOGs expected,  few  108/111mm's
saw good starter for old timer Vics. for Main course for LM Rebar awaited.
Ugh..i dont have ST300 BO yet

[Styerman]

Very modest , just a Cybertool and a Rebar .

And why not    im not planning on too many this year as wont to find some nice user combos 

[Pacu]

I plan on getting whatever i come across on a good deal. If it mean deep trolling Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Flea markets, pawn shops and garage sales...that's half the fun.

I do want to get a good fixed blade, perhaps an axe this year.

[bearpark]

I just want to put my MTs to good use really, get them out and about a bit more and make sure everything I own is a real user. I'm not looking to expand my stable beyond a LM Style CS for backpacking and an alox Cadet.

[Zed]

Well im pretty much sorted for my testing and users for 2012  just a swisschamp and im sorted, i got the new vic soldier this am and love it, ive only ever owned one 111mm and it was a forester i think, just had a go of it and as i expected from vic it works perfectly, 

Test fodder for 2012
