Noah says thanks guys!!   :salute: :tu: :cheers:


 :like:

He sure is lucky!  I wouldn't trade my Dad for Sneider and TES's collection put together but he NEVER hooked me up with alox, especially an SI.  :-\  :D

2nd day carrying my SI and I REALLY like it.  Only issue is the awl doesn't have much snap at AWL!   I cleaned and oiled the already brand-new knife and it didn't help! Not sure what's the issue...  maybe just needs to time to loosen up?  Should I soak it in oil?   :cheers:

Not sure why no snap El-C - perhaps oil is the answer. Let us know.

SI for me again today:

Could be a bent pin or there's still some dirt left

Off topic, but what is the brand name of that 1/4 inch ratchet?  That looks to be the perfect size to have in a motorbike kit.  :tu:

If you want a size that's similar to vic's, go for the Topeak Ratchet Rocket Lite DX

Here's my ratchet setup...



The one in the middle is a DIY rachet meant to be used in conjunction with my SAKs and MT...

Nice set up J-Man. Does the Topeak have the in-line driver as well as the ratchet? If so- that is a nice tool. It's what I like about the Sealey, but the Topeak seems to be finished a little nicer. Twice as expensive though, although not nearly as expensive as the Vic ratchet  :facepalm:

I like that ratchet on your SAK.  You and I sure have similar taste in multi-tools:

Yes it does...... same as vics... the only difference being a direction toggle switch to tighten or loosen... With vic's you would have to reverse the ratchet.

:salute: It sounds better than the Vic - I will have to put that on my list of tools to get at some point.

jaya, is your Topeak larger in size than this one?  I've had this, but it's quite small as you can see.

I haven't seen that one...

Will try to take a pic of the side by side comparison against vic's... and maybe post it in your thread as well?

As promised... comparison vs 91mm SAK for size reference.

A video I found on youtube comparing the two ratchets.

Mags, quick off topic question again.  I see your adjustable wrench tucked under about 2 inches of something, is that a wide rubber band?  Sorry to be all in your business, but that looks interesting to me.  Seems it isn't tape.  I see it on your kydex sheath as well.

Possibly inner tube, I'm inquiring because I like that solution.  I need to affix a tool outside one of my cases and that material looks like what I'm looking for.

Inner Tube indeed! I think it's also known as Ranger Band, but really it's just inner tube - freely available and holds the tool nice and tight.  :cheers:

You should come over! - I live just outside Bath City centre - amazing countryside and a city full of Georgian and Roman history - even the allotment we have was built on a Roman Villa, which was built on an Iron age settlement , which was built on a Bronze age settlement. It's mind boggling.  :ahhh
