Let's not forget our banner advertisers in this list.  If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have a forum to make these lists on!

www.felinevet.sosakonline.com
www.EDCDepot.com
www.Gerber-Tools.com
www.Hand-Tools.com

And of course our own friendly Defender brand sites:

www.sosakonline.com
www.sakwiki.com

And, the Multitool Encyclopedia which will eventually become the best multitool information resource available, and is user editable so if you have something to add, add it!

I didn't add the usual suspects, I figured most members knew them already, but you're right it never hurts to give them all our support. I know they have helped keep my checking account from having too  much cash at any one time! 

Thanks Def,

Thanks parnass, that's right up my alley. First page has 2 tools made by Malco which makes a lot of great sheet metal tools for pros. I know, I used to hang duct work. That takes me back to the days of climbing 40 foot extension ladders!

Of course, the Trousers one is the only one I need.

I think nice trows could be more important to me than a nice multi.

I would not have agreed prior to getting a pair of Mountain Khakis. They are friggin' amazing, I highly recommend them for the gusset alone. The pair I have is the Alpine Utility Pant, I wear them everyday but laundry day, much love.

You've been talking to my wife! 

[kreskin13]

Well, since pants with gussets are all the rage, try these guys. I've bought tons of stuff from them over the years. They have great quality and service. Some of the goodies in my giveaways has come from them.

I like the look of some of their Fire Hose options

By preference I wear 300+ GSM (11-12 ounce) cotton Drill or Duck weave clothing.
It's hot as a smurf, but gives me a rugged, manly feeling, and the confidence to bum-slide on gravel without revealing my pink My Little Pony underwear.



I like this line in their Inspired by military trousers


"GIs began vigilantly patrolling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) while North Koreans watched their every muscle flinch through high-powered binoculars – searching for signs of invasion. One assumes the impoverished North Koreans also got an eye-full the GI’s better made pants – we’ve recreated them here. Rugged and built for harsh duty, but made of soft 100% cotton sateen that won’t chafe during countless hours on patrol. Bellowed pockets have room for grenades, ammo and the latest letter from your sweetie back home. The waist has take-up tabs in case you lose a few pounds eating C-rations. We’ve even gone one step better on our version and added a crotch gusset for freedom of movement. We are the land of the free, after all. Imported."



That one looks good too. It's called "the tweaker", because as you can see it is a precision tool, used on for subtle, precise jobs.
