Cheers Allan  :cheers:

Some of the rarer pieces have gone obviously, but I'm OK with that. They all went to people on here that will have appreciated them far more than I would have during the last 6 years and that makes me feel better about it :)

I have only the PSTs and Minis to transfer to the new cabinet now, and it looks like they will all fit (just about) :D I shall do that later today.

Btw, if I haven't bored everyone to tears and you'd like some better pics of any of these, please do shout up and I'll try and oblige :)

I'm definitely NOT bored, and some more pics of your camo Juice would be great  :D

Here you go - just taken with the iPhone as my room here is a bit of a mess at the moment! Once I've finished moving stuff about I should be able to get to a better camera / lighting.

I didn't notice the oil on the saw until after I posted it, so here it is again after a wipe, lol

PSTs and Minis



I do have a few more tools scattered about, my ST300 (which needs a good clean as the plier bushings are full of plaster dust), my Charge TTi that I use daily, the Crunch and nothing special PST in the Pocket Organiser, the modded kick in my suitcase and the Multitool.org Style CS (#06) that's a bit beaten up due plenty of use on my desk. In fact here's a picture of that stuff as I'm at it:



I also have a couple of NIB tools stored in the loft, which I originally put aside as trade fodder, but then never did anything with. I think there's a Core and maybe a Flair  :think: I'll try and have a look in a while and see.

But I hope you found that enjoyable. I have to find something to do with the old toolboxes now so I can sort out that cupboard, then I'll probably spend the next few days cleaning the tools a bit :D

Do you mean the Sport Ratchet?

It's a bit of an odd thing!

Just having a look at some of the tools properly now I've moved them all.

I always liked these Cabela's "Seclusion 3D" Camo versions of the Charge series. I never did get hold of a Ti, but was lucky enough to snag the XTi and TTi.



I also have a customised Charge with Seclusion 3D scales that I picked up as part of a trade. It has a TTi configuration, the Seclusion scales but SS finish on all tools and blade. Nice tool but of course, not a "proper" version :D

Well I had a quick look in the loft earlier but couldn't see those "trade fodder" tools. We've done some major household projects this year and just about everything got moved. I'll get back up there with a torch sometime, maybe when the weather's a bit cooler. I know for a fact that there's a LM Core in a gift tin, and I'm 90% sure there's a NIB Flair too, and a couple of other bits and bobs.

No rush though :)

Yay - I found that little stash of "trade fodder / spare" stuff in the loft along with a bunch of LM components that I might play with later :)

Awesome collection!

I haven't gotten any of the SAK multi-tools yet. I mainly like Leatherman but I have a SOG and a few Gerbers in the mix.

As you can tell, I have something of a strong preference for Leatherman stuff, but its always worth having a few other brands even if its just to paw them and compare them I reckon. Every manufacturer has their own style, and the variety just adds to the fun :)

If you're looking at a Victorinox multi, I'd suggest the Spirit first personally. It's a wonderful tool in terms of finish and construction - very different to your LM, SOGs and Gerbers. Personally I never carry one, but its nice to have one to appreciate it!
