$50 with a $10 off coupon? Dang.... I paid twice that for mine!

Sounds like a steal at that price

Benner · **Reply #2 on:** March 12, 2008, 05:27:14 PM

That is damn good. $:-\$ And now I have an EDC SAK with a file, I am quite tempted.

jzmtl · **Reply #3 on:** March 12, 2008, 07:49:04 PM

$18 for shipping? That just kicked the price right back up.

I know it won't cost more than $5 to ship first class.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #4 on:** March 12, 2008, 09:59:02 PM

I just worked it out, and $57.39 is still a hell of a lot better price than Canadian Tire's....

Only $8.50 to ship to the Continental U.S., where we don't have any Canadian Tire stores

Hanging around this forum for awhile will do that to a person's wallet

Oh what the hell, I just placed an order for one. (When your credit card balance is as high as mine is, a little bit more doesn't matter right?)

That's my angle as well.

Not the wifes though, unless it's for make-up or clothes.

No point in holding off and paying more later!

Looks appealing enough except for the shorty drivers, I'd be all over it if they had drivers like the Leatherman Core. It will be interesting to see what you guys say after some real world testing. The last Gerber multi-tool I had pinched my palm badly, one to many times, so I sold it.

Longer drivers would mean a longer tool overall, and/or a protruding tip when the pliers are closed (à la Diesel), and/or eschewing the sliding pliers altogether.

Can't have everything.

Ain't gonna happen with the Flik.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #15 on:** March 14, 2008, 07:52:11 PM

But I would rather a longer tool with nice long drivers rather than a medium tool with short drivers!

Amen brother, amen.

Another thing I don't like about it besides the stubby driver is the unsharpened portion on blade. Can't do work like peeling apple as easy, which I use the rear portion of blade for. Also concerned about it jamming open, as mentioned in the review.

Still trying to decide if I want one.

BTW how's the weight and size compare to wave?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #18 on:** March 15, 2008, 07:48:42 AM

Wave = 223g

Flik = 247g

They are about the same size, no major differences.

Well I just bought one with money I don't have, but I don't care, I've been wanting one so bad

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #20 on:** March 19, 2008, 01:11:14 PM

Sounds like you have an account at the same bank I do!

E. Danny · **Reply #21 on:** March 19, 2008, 03:56:37 PM

I like gerber tools cause they engrave as well. I've been wanting an engraved tool for a while

E. Danny · **Reply #22 on:** March 26, 2008, 04:22:57 AM

Quick stupid question. My flik arrived today. It has a lanyard ring but I can't get it out. Help!

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #23 on:** March 26, 2008, 05:10:46 PM

I used a key to get mine out- the first time it was stuck in pretty good, almost like it was glued down. The first time I really had to pull on the sucker to get it out, but ever since then it comes out easier. You still need something to help reach it, but it should just pop right out from then on.
