Hello from Australia
on: September 28, 2012, 06:53:26 AM
I've been lurking for months, finding lots of useful info  :)

Thought I should join, and say hello.

I've been into LED flashlights for a few years, but lately have been more interested in MTs.  Got a dozen or so already (to add to my 15+ years old Gerber), but the itch is still there, so here I am  :whistle:

Good suggestion, I agree (and I did so, 2 days ago)   ;)


Thanks to everyone for your warm welcomes, this forum seems to have quite a friendly vibe  :tu:

I have a few multiples as freight to Oz is so expensive I sometimes buy an extra (or two), a bad ($$$$-wise) habit I picked up over at CPF.  :facepalm:

At the moment I think I have:

LM Charge TTi x 3 (What can I say, I like them, one for the house, one in the car and one in the van), Wave, Crunch x 2, P4.

Swisstool, Swisstool Spirit.

SOG PowerLock (x3), Crossgrip x 2, Crosscut x 2, Paladin PowerPlier 510,

Gerber Legend 800, (Cheap chinese copy of a) Suspension.

Quite a few 1/4" hex bits, 1/4" hex extensions and some Topeak ratchets.

On their way: LM Super Tool 300, Rebar, Surge.

I might slow down a bit now (maybe)  ;)

No, I paid US discount or s'hand prices for most of them, nothing like Aussie retail prices (for those that don't know, MT's are typically retailed for 3 times the US price in Oz).

Can't help with the photos, sorry (in some ways I'm a bit of a luddite, in fact the new phone I just purchased doesn't even take pics).  At the moment they are all stock standard as purchased (although I am considering swapping some of the SOG tool loads).
