I'll leave that up to minds more powerful than mine - but it remains that plastic packaging is not an option for most dealers, so I don't see it becoming too frequent in the market

if you look at defs post the skeletools are coming in the plastic packs as well

Def - unlike honest, red dirt loving gents such as you and myself, is a "beer swilling hosehead" (Remember kids, stay in school; Youtube is not legitimate education)

I understand that up north, they, amongst other bizarre things, have Leathermans in clam packs.

I'm going to follow up this Coles thing, it's interesting for a few reasons - example being the first I've heard of a major retailer in Oz stocking Leatherman.

wow up north
you need to spend money on a compass and a map ,than on multi tools as western australia as it states is west of australia not north
follow it up as much as you like , you send me $99 and i go buy you one tomorrow if you like and will even get you some photos of me buying it from the coles checkout and it will come with the docket as well

Shoot, I knew I was doing something wrong! 

I meant Def - he is in Canada, so I presume he has a North American edition Skeletool.

I don't disbelieve you, I'm just interested.

and bud i have more red dirt in me than you will ever have as im a driller in the roughest parts of australia that you will ever see
and as for beer swilling hosehead for one i dont drink at all

"beer swilling hosehead" is a thing for Canadians. I think it came from Saturday Night Live? 

and bud i have more red dirt in me than you will ever have as im a driller in the roughest parts of australia that you will ever see

I'll take your word for the dirt, I'm a coastal Ocean-lover myself. We'll have to agree to disagree on whether the sea or the land is rougher

and i didnt know leatherman had to go thru you about how they market their products and what products they sell sorry

They don't have to go through me, but it's nice if they keep me appraised of what I can expect in my deliveries.

Anyway, I'll call 'em up again and ask specifically about the Skeletool packaging - I want to know when they'll have some stock for me as it is.

what line of work you in
and my bad on the hosehead and the north thing

[Sea Monster]

what line of work you in

In yukky terms "I do retail"

I'm like one of those two dollar stores, you know those ones with everything from colourful beads, to novelty hats, to tools?

Like that, except everything is fancy brand name stuff, often hard-to-find and imported, and it hurts my feelings if someone leaves the store with less than five grand on the bill.

I'm still no better than the jerk at K-Mart, but if I use enough prose, it sounds like I'm in a classy sort of business.

Actually, it wasn't Saturday Night Live, it was SCTV- while this may not be a legitimate education, it should work well enough for our needs!



And, I do not as of yet have a Skeletool....

My Skeletool came in the  black & yellow Leatherman box.  If you look in the Leatherman Wholesale catalog, you find statements similar to "Available with a leather or nylon sheath in clamshell or box packaging".
