Day 9Spirit trying to blend in with some brothers from another mother. Just got this mat in the mail today! Cool stuff! (Image removed from quote.)
That's a well-executed pic.
Day 10So, a third of the way in and no problems so far. Was lucky enough to have a guest who appreciated my (for this forum) modest collection of tools. It was nice getting them out in the fresh air. I should probably get rid of some that I'll never use (Suspension comes to mind). Back on topic the drivers on the Spirit are really nice, with good reach and nice sizes. Is it enough though? Philips are getting less common and flats are getting positively rare on new things. The only way to accommodate all the modern shapes is through the use of bits and it doesn't seem like any of the big four have really found the solution for that. With the new Gerber Center-Drive they now have for distinct solutions for the same problem, all with their own pros and cons. I believe SOG has the cleanest solution with their PowerPlay and Reactor but from reviews it seems like there is a long way to go to an actually useful tool. Victorinox simply drops the pretence of a multitool solution and admits that once you start carrying a bit kit a small dedicated ratchet might be the reasonable solution. Gerber have been going out on a limb in their advertisement for the Center Drive since it's certainly not the first centred drive (SOG has that honour) and is in fact not even centred! Leathermans proprietary solution is really nice and allows you to carry plenty of bits in a small space, until you realise the price of replacing a single bit (especially in Europe). Their older Tool Adapters are probably just as interesting imho, allowing you to use the main multitool as a handle for better grip to get a truly centred driver (this is what the SOG solution wanted to be, except without the extra bulk). Oh,well, I'm rambling on, here's today's picture. (Image removed from quote.)
DAY 10/31 GREEN TEA TONIGHT
Day 10.We had friends over this morning for a Christmas cookie making party. I didn't make any cookies but did eat quite a few. I always want to try and talk pocket knives with guys but it never seems to come up and I can't think of a way to bring it up without seeming weird..."Hey, this has nothing to do with anything we're talking about, but would you like to see the ridiculous amount of pocket knives I have???" LOL!
