Detective (Explorer plus pliers)

[Max Stone]

Thanks all  sorry I can't take orders 

Once I realized that Vic pliers are more like super-tweezers, I found them really useful, almost indispensable.

Case in point - my son popped a key off his laptop, and in my efforts to click it back down, I bent one of the tiny metal ⌈-shaped retainers that clips to the pivot below the key.

The precision Vic pliers were perfect to grip and reshape the tiny tab of metal that was too small for a normal needle nose, and too rigid for tweezers.

I've also used the Vic pliers to recover a few wayward cards and oddments that always fall down the side of my car seat in that annoying gap that's just too small to reach. 

Oh - and the Vic pliers have the most satisfying clunk of any tool in the 91mm range.

 . The most overlooked tool on a SAK!

It's been a while, but still my daily carry. Just changed the scales so my excuse to post a few pics and let everyone know I'm still around

In order of descending frequency, the tools I use the most are:
- Scissors
- Small blade
- Pliers
- Inline Phillips
- Large blade
- Cap lifter (but as a flat driver/pry bar)
- Pin
- Awl
- Tin opener (but as a small flat driver/scraper)
- Magnifier rarely (maybe twice in last year)
- Pen almost never used, so happy to ditch the plus scales. T&T also rarely used.
- No use for the hook or corkscrew in the last year.

I carry on this short belt hook wearing jeans or shorts, and a longer one with other pants with deeper pockets.

Need to replace the small blade as I put a small wave in the edge after I used it to remove a snap back on a watch

Oh geez.  That pretty much ruined it.

You should probably do a giveaway.

I'd been gearing up to make one of these exact models myself. I thought it was a unique combo and had no idea someone had already made it!
I was struggling to think of a name, TBH.

I love this knife.  The usage order is almost exactly what mine is with the Swisschamp, except I've actually had a couple of genuine corkscrew uses in the past year

Excellent toolset!  I'm a sucker for Vic pliers on anything, but this is particularly good.  Close to a Cybertool M...

I've always thought of this as a Deluxe Explorer.

  I love the pliers

So…

If Deluxe Tinker = Tinker + Scissors + Pliers

Shouldn’t this model be a Deluxe Passenger?

Then Super Passenger = super secret alias of Explorer…right?

The Explorer could certainly have been called the Super Passenger.  But Marketing decided that Explorer sounded cooler, and there’s no arguing with them…
