Electrician

[AlephZero]

Anyone else like Victorinox Electrician? There's just something in it I can't explain...

It's certainly one of those SAK's I don't need, but I sure WANT!! 

What do you think, guys?

Oh, and

You bet - the Electrician is my favorite Vic, as well as the MiniChamp. I did want to see how they would be by substituting a small blade from a Pioneer Settler. So I had Syph007 do his magic. On the old Elinox model I had him switch the scales as well for some red Alox goodness. I still have one or two in standard configuration as backups. All old cross - don't like the new cross and blank panel on the back. But that's just me.

Damn you guys, I'm in a group of enablers... 


Anyways, as my next SAK will be the SwissChamp, I guess the next one after that will be the Electrician

one day 

[396988]

Vic need to make some more solo elec's or apprentices. Been hunting for a while for a one layer elec. (Turning into a solo collecter)

On the subject of electricians. I have two modern ones. The sheeps foot blade is really hard to deploy and put away on both. This is at the point where I now prefer to get the main blade out. Does anyone else have this problem? Have I just got faulty springs?

Very nice
I need to save for one of these mods...I'd have all those tools but with the can opener instead of the small blade as it can be used as a phillips
Oh and an awl...all alox MUST have the awl

[AlephZero]

Oh yes, one day... 

[AlephZero]

Heck i had an idea for a mod...


Blade, Electrician Blade, Pliers, Metal File, Magnifier Glass...and someone already got the name of quantum mechanic =(

[Joe58]

Couple more. Single layers.

Yes, yes you are   I love the utility blade as well, and here is my custom, the Mechaneer.

[captain spaulding]

I love the tool layout in that. If you ever get rid of it let me know. 



I doubt you ever will but just have to say it.

   Aleph78,

this place is full of ideas, photos, nice people.  but money just evaporates for the members of this forum though.  I bought a Surge 5 weeks ago, came here, now I have 20 Leathermans, and 5 SAKs

Wait a year or two and I can almost guarantee that number will be tripled.

Thanks   Even if I wanted to sell it, I probably couldn't/shouldn't since it has my wedding date engraved on the back.  Wife might not be happy about that since that it (originally a Pioneer) was part of a Valentine's Day gift, with me getting her a zebra scaled Classic with the date engraved on it as well.  I'm actually thinking about getting it redone sometime in the future when I can afford it as the pliers in particular haven't proven to be all that useful to me.  Plus they take up a thick layer, and I should have gotten scissors instead   Oh well, that's my nature to constantly analyze and second guess my choices

You've gotten 20 Leathermans within the last 5 weeks   Well, I'm glad I was able to act as an enabler and provide a couple of those for you

Yea I completely understand. Very cool that you got it engraved along with the classic with your wedding date. I actually find the (SAK) pliers to be one of my most used tools. I have kind of been looking for a spare pair of SAK pliers so when the time comes and if you decide to get rid of the pliers in there let me know and I will most likely be interest. I have really wanted to do a thinner (2 layer) SAK with pliers. That is if you remove them and have no use for them.

Yeah, I got 20, understand I have 3 micras, 2 squirt P4, 1 squirt S4 that were bought at like $4 each.  I was done buying for a while, Until someone I know posted a sale that was awesome!    and I was like    and today was    .   now I do not even look at fleabay, or the FS listings here for a while                 
 

that AL is beautiful, and I have a TTi.  I do not want the ALX at all.   
See money evaporates around here,  I speak from experience

Really?  What do you use them for?  I know they can be good as large, beefy tweezers and things of that nature.  I've just rarely had use for them myself.  So do you mod as well?  I will keep you in mind should I end up going through with that, but it would be sent off to Syph to be done, but I'm sure I could have him send the pliers back to me if I wanted to.

Wow, those were priced well.  Man, you gotta watch all these enablers around here with their sales   I know, I have to sometimes exercise some degree of willpower and avoid looking at Ebay and sales threads here as I'll just end up adding to my list.  Yeah, I didn't get the point of the ALX, at least not for my use anyway as I don't need 2 bit drivers, but I'm sure there are many who do.  That AL is nice, and in some ways I preferred it to my TTi as it was smoother opening and I like the pliers without the cap crimper.  But I liked the overall feel of the TTi a little better in the hand, and I like the cutting hook.  Glad you like it though

[captain spaulding]

I don't mod myself, but hope to start soon. I would send them with other parts to whoever does the mod for me. I do use them for tweezers quite often or pulling skin from the corners of my finger where the nail meets. I also use them for any small grabbing task I might need. I use them to bend paperclips into small tools of whatever shape I need for the task. I use them for placing/holding small screws. Pulling knots out or through. Pulling hairs. Pulling staples. Flattening staples on what's called a 2x2 in which you store collectible coins. The list goes on and on. I really enjoy using them and appreciate the precision. I almost never use them on nuts or bolts. I actually can't remember one instance of using them on a nut or bolt.



Anyways.... back on topic,

Electricians ROCK!!!!
