Not so sure I ever introduced myself and I only have one post. My laptop was stolen the day after I signed up on here. Anyway, I love tools, multi-tools are always in my pocket, and even though I have a toolbox at work, I always reach for my pocket to use my trusted tools. These include:

Wingman
Tinker
Gerber EAB
Park Tool MTB-7 (for the hex and wrenches)

I plan to add more like an adjustable wrench tool when I find my favorite and something that has bits for different screws and bolts.

Anyway I have been chomping at the bit to get involved here and now I am!

Welcome!

Sucks about the laptop.

The Tinker and the EAB are two of my favorites, a good start for you. Be warned though, if you hang around here too much, they will multiply rapidly.....

Well I was collecting knives before....this is just a step up from that! I am a firm believer that you can never have too many tools!

G'day & welcome mate

"you can never have too many tools" , there are a few of us that think like that

. Nice group of tools mate

I have wanted to get a EAB for ages but when I was talking to a Aussie Ebay knife seller he told me you can not import the EAB's to Australia as Oz Customs classifies them as a concealed weapon

, I think because the pocket clip is also designed as a money clip

BUT really I don't know how they came up with that

, the amount of horse fertilizer Oz Customs produces is astonishing

I love that EAB. I use everyday for opening boxes and cutting things open or just cutting a strip of foam. It works wonderful. I am not trying to rub it in, just letting you know what a nice tool it can be.
