Hey Dunc...I think this should be your new avatar...

Cheers

Well, I'll be.... not only do you guys know multis, you know people on other forums too

So I guess it's taboo to use others avatars even from other forums huh? He has a cool looking one then and Dunc, yours isn't bad at all, I just thought that pipedreams fit you also

No reason not to use the same avatar that someone else has, especially on another forum.

When SOSAK was new, many of the founding members had a SOSAK logo as their avatar. It was kind of confusing as no one really knew who was saying what, but it was kind of cool too!

Ad sent. I'll be posting them all on the main site which is a bit friendlier to BIG pictures.

I may look for a FlipGrip. I'm sure it's badly made, but it's intriguing.

Tom Munch · **Reply #37 on:** March 06, 2007, 01:28:11 AM

I ordered a FlipGrip. I could only find it one place online.

The plier portion of the Flip-Grip is pretty decent quality. Not too bad at all really. But where the design comes up short (literally) is in the folding blades. There isn't much room in the handles, so the knife and file and other blades have to be uncommonly short.

You guys are right on the money on the FlipGrip. I got it in this afternoon. The plers are good quality, but the blades are very short & a little difficult to deploy. The lock is like the original Supertool - have to open another tool to disengage. The pictures Doug posted show as much as any I would post. I will post the new driver here though, & one of the locking mechanism that locks the spring on the pliers.

Tom Munch · **Reply #40 on:** March 08, 2007, 12:35:21 AM

I was thinking that the older model was a ratcheting driver. I guess not?

While not that old, I always liked this LM ad

CacherX4 · **Reply #42 on:** March 08, 2007, 03:18:22 AM

Thanks prime77. It's my new desktop for the week

Tom Munch · **Reply #43 on:** March 08, 2007, 05:48:19 AM

The shaft looks better than being mounted directly in the handle. It's too bad the blades aren't better. they don't look like they're part of the same tool with those nice plier heads.

prime77 · **Reply #44 on:** October 12, 2007, 09:32:07 AM

I found these in some old mags while thrift store shopping with my wife.

I feel cold just looking at those

, or it could just be that it's 10C outside ;D

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #46 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:47:06 PM

Excellent old ads!

What are the dates on those magazines?

I know one was from Dec 2000 Field and Stream. I think the other was from Nov 2000 Field and Stream.
I found this one as well

Dunc · **Reply #49 on:** October 13, 2007, 09:57:56 AM

I remember those Leatherman adds , there was another in that series with a mountain bike on it .

I need them! (The Schrade one too please) Thanks again Prime!

Hehe, by the way, even though I don't care much for the Nautilus, I do get a kick out of Gerber's "Fend For Yourself" ad campaign!

prime77 · **Reply #52 on:** July 07, 2008, 10:12:57 AM

Stumbled on some more for ya Bob.

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #53 on:** July 07, 2008, 11:54:22 AM

Now that's some pretty clever advertising

J-sews · **Reply #54 on:** July 08, 2008, 12:37:33 AM

Oh yah!! Great Prime, thanks!

I recall seeing the Charge Deer one before, but not the Wave Mower one or either of the knife ones. Cool!

I'll put them up on the Wiki for reference. Do you happen to have the dates from the magazines they were in?
