To awl or not to awl that is the question?

Does not compute, must have at least one functional awl  :)

Haha... I am with you. I'd rather have a Juice with an awl than a Charge without one.

And lost a pivot screw which icant find replaecement for :oops:

Just the screw? Get a Rebar, use the screw and plier head (and awl if you like) to upgrade your Wave.

Lots of metal filing/sawing: Definitely the Surge
Mostly blade: Charge for the OHO blade with higher quality steel
Lots of different bit sizes but fairly infrequent: LM with bit kit (small package)
Lots and often of different bit sizes on rusty screws: Vic with bit kit (standard bits are easier to replace)
All tools are used often Spirit for its all outside tools

Other factors:
Tool should be rust resistant: Spirit
Work in oily-slippery conditions: LM


Rebar? Are those plier screws or rivets? I really don't know, never had a rebar, but on pictures they look like rivets, but im willing to try just to save a wave life....
Thanks

Rebar uses screws and posts. Could always pick up a cheap used Wave on the bay for the parts. Both would be the best.

Why don't you just go to home depot to find a screw? It won't look perfect, but I bet it would be functional, and much cheaper than parting a rebar. Just take the wave to the hardware store, find a screw that threads into the wave, and cut the length to fit

Good news, the Sidekick screw fits, and completely covers the blades pivot hole. It looks like they are close to the same length, just a different style of "button" on top.

Its yours if you want it, just PM me your address

Nice... you can end up with a scissorless Mini Surge, Surge and a Charge.  :tu:  Next you should get your self some LM classics... PST, Minitool, Supertool  :drool:
