You big meanie!

I've managed to acquire every other tool I've been after in a pretty short time, but this one is alluding me. I missed out on 2 ebay auctions, and was just a tad too slow to get badwolf's.

Some day I will know the joy of spring actuated pliers.. some day!!!

I would suggest that you avoid the Stanley version of these. The SOG version is neat but not as bulletproof as SOG's other tools due to the added complexity of the tool itself.

The Stanley version on the other hand has been known to explode when you press the button- true story...

And they are half the size. The ones I have aren't all that bad.

And to compare size...

I wouldn't kick one out of bed for eating biscuits either

Great looking tool - didn't realise those Stanley's were soooo much smaller!

I dunno, I opened up a storage crate yesterday, and I found one!

I don't think they are that hard to find, but then I haven't looked for one lately. You do see them from time to time though.

A year and a half later.. I finally got me one!!!

Maybe it was the long wait to find one, or the gadgetty factor, but I freaking love this thing.

This has the most comfortable tool out and pliers closed feel of any MT I have used. Very comfy in hand.

Very easy to close one handed as well. And of course even easier to open.. with a cool button push! I cant believe they killed these off, funnest MT ever!

The thrill of the hunt is half the pleasure.
