I found the same with the pliers Marlowe. Great for pulling hair out of a drain or the odd reach and grab. One unexpected use I found is using the little indent on the pivot as a thimble to push a needle, then pulling the needle using the actual pliers. Surprisingly useful, but again rarely needed for EDC.   [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]

I'll have to try and remember that one.  :tu:

Hey, that's a pretty clever use of the pliers!

Yeah, I think the pliers are great but I just haven't had enough use out of them to justify the weight in the pocket to have them all the time. There is always that slight worry in the back of my mind - that if I need them, I will REALLY need them - but, well, you can't carry everything!

Meanwhile, I've been carrying an Explorer for the past couple of days now. I tend to find lots of screwdriver-related uses for a SAK, so it should be a more "natural" fit. And it's a model I am very comfortable and familiar with - I carried one all through Boy Scouts!

Fortunately I had my Classic in my pocket today.  I was assembling some Anderson Power Pole connectors onto a 12V fan and needed a small tool to push the contact into the housing.  The screwdriver tool in the Classic was just the right size as an insertion tool.

Well done! Show us the finished product!

Hey thanks all. I have been hacking away learning as I go.  Soon I will get some good full grain nicer leather. The newest is the little slip for my yellow sod buster.

This one for the past few weeks, early 2000's Master Craftsman (Japan market). 5 back tools and newer style file. I put the 58mm keyring, but other than that it's factory Vic.  :salute:
