Little Boy and Fat Man

[JAfromMn]

I tore something in my shoulder. No work today. I'm taking it easy.

Take it easy and heal up bud   Still no Rebar?

I will and I haven't given up looking yet.

Good   I hope your shoulder heals up quickly man

well Kyle I'm my shoulder is still really stiff but I'm no longer in pain so I'm doing ok now man. Thanks




now here is a thought I had rolling around in my brain last night.

I think I should use the blast until the little boy comes home.

 the blast is the rebars predecessor I think I should give it a good going over and see if all the improvements I think should be made are found in the rebar.

just a thought. A good one I think.


we all know the skeletool cx kicks ass at what it does for what it is.

we might as well try and learn something lol

but as always. I just start topics its up to you what I really end up doing.

[JAfromMn]

Ok I guess


its on me.

I'm putting the skeletool back in the safe and grabbing the Blast.


I was hoping for a input but I can make up my own mind if I have to.

[jerseydevil]

I agree with you Joel.    I actually prefer the Blast to the Rebar, but that's just me......

[CanadianLMfan]

I have a Fuse coming and I hope that this'll give me some more info on the tool (Blast, Fuse, close enough ) before it comes.

[JAfromMn]

I'm happy that you all are interested in the blast.

I haven't had in my pocket a hour yet.

Its nice to have all my most used tools in one package is about all I can sat so far.

[JAfromMn]

You all that know me know I'm a serrated blade enthusiasts but I'd gladly trade the serrated edge blade from my rebar for the blasts scissors.

I think something may be wrong with me. lol

[JAfromMn]

Another quick thought.


They did right ditching the small bit holder. A WORTHLESS tool.

[Monrogue]

Glad your shoulder's doing better Joel   The Blast is an excellent choice as well for a sub for Little Boy.  Still, I hope you find that Rebar and are able see what it can do.

[sir_mike]

I still vote for the Sidekick! 

[styx]

Good idea Joel. And you can't ask such questions while I'm smurf faced and trying to single handedly (is that a word?) smurf the European Union

   I agree.  I find serrated blades work much better than a plain edge for many cutting tasks.  It's just a pity that they are such a hassle to sharpen, at least for me that is.  I'd rather have the serrated blade of the Rebar and use my Micra if I want scissors.

[JAfromMn]

The blast is a great snack opener.

 blade and scissors have both seen use several times today. If I was carrying the rebar I'd be using a Saks scissors.


a  mod thought

the blast with a rebar pliers with the rebar awl in place of that stupid little driver would be a great tool.

I like the plastic fantastic handle liners.
 I know some really hate plastic.

 I carry a fully serrated endura most days so I wouldn't be out anything in my edc. I guess most people don't edc a serrated blade so maybe the scissors in the files place. Hmm I'd miss that too but I don't think the normal user would much.

Quick thought

I like little boy,s plane edge blade shape over the blast. Its has a better shape and a more even grind.

sorry no pic

I really like the shape of the Rebar's blade as well. It is more traditional than the OHO blades on many of the other LM tools and feels more comfortable to me. 

[Cupboard]

It's a lot thinner but is a bit deeper than the Blast blade.
The Rebar does have the hump out of it though.

[styx]

how about putting scissors on a Rebar then?

[JAfromMn]

I'd have to find it first. lol

nahh I won't be modding my rebar any time soon.

I want to keep it stock for the review.

Here's a couple of pics of my Rebar and Kick.

Mine are both 1.8mm thick at the spine, but the Rebar has a hollower hollow grind, if that makes sense.

My Man said it way better than I could.

FIXED

And yay, the old smileys are back!

[JAfromMn]

This looks dangerous to me but the boss says it works.
shop built steamer for thawing frozen water lines.
I used the fat man to tighten and losen stuck gate values.



I always leave a value open. I think it would blow up if I didn't

Maybe you should ask your boss for an EOD suit.  Might help to keep you warm as well.

I got to give my boss credit.
it may look like crap but it works pretty dam good. I got through about a foot of ice in a frozen under ground water line with it.

with all my parts still attached

Between us I was a little worried it was going to blow up in my face. All in a days work I guess.

[JAfromMn]

Just so you all know.

my cellphone is going to get shut off and I'm not sure how long it will take me to get caught up on my bills to get it turned back on.


Il keep track of what I use my tools and Il let you all know.

sorry.

my wife has been out of work sick for a,little over a month. I need heat more than my phone.

Il be back.

hopefully Il pull something off so it doesn't get shut down.

[Monrogue]

That's a bummer, but I agree that heat is more of a necessity than a cell phone.  I hope your wife gets better soon, and that you are able to get things taken care of and all that responsibility crap that gets in the way of our fun sometimes
