Did you give yours away Milhouse?  :pok:

Having swapped tools around etc on mine, I find I have to tighten the nuts regularly. Is there a workaround here or does everyone do that?

pfrsantos, if you read this please show dignity and restraint regarding me tightening my nuts on a regular basis. Thanks for your cooperation.  :D

The MP426 never needs this adjustment. Probably needs a bit of Loctite or similar.

Pray tell me Fiddy, where I would find nail varnish on a U Boat?  :D

I'll ask my wife. She's bound to have some loc-tite  :D

I'm joking of course. Here all week folks.

Forgot to post the triumphant pics of my '400 with metal file, scissors aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand............. Woodsaw! Thanks Mechanickal - you're the dude!  :salute:

The woodsaw fits in beautifully - it replaces the can opener in my set up and the plieres flick in and out without obstruction.

Once I was happy with the set up I borrowed some nail varnish (vegan apparently) to firm the threads up. That was several days ago and it's holding up well.

I wasn't keen on the nylon sheath so the '400 sits sweetly in a leather Spirit sheath on my belt.

So awesome to see that saw in it's second life at the other side of the channel!
Really glad I could help.
Did you cut down a tree yet?

And for everyone who's interested: mags sent me 2 sets of SAK scales in return.
1 regular red set and 1 set of black plus scales. The plus scales ended up on my CT29, which was in desperate need of a new coat and looks absolutely stunning now! :dd:

Nick, I cut down a mini tree in your honour. It only took me 45 minutes.  :salute: The remains shall henceforth be known forever as 'Nick's Stump'.

Only 45 minutes huh?

It was a suspension indeed.
My first multitool ever but died on me after 1 drop from waist high.
I repaired it but a second waist high drop killed it completely.
Getting it repaired under waranty would cost me +€12 in postage costs while an unused one would set me back  €15 on the second hand market.

I combined it with a Chinese multi to make for 1 useable tool but it remained unused, so I'm glad mags had a good use for it. :2tu:

Can I suggest you carry all subsequent multitools at calf or ankle height from now on?  :cheers:

Nah, I carry a Swisstool X during work now.
If I drop it I'll just need to call the company's insurance to fix that hole in the floor.

My MTO education has taught me to not walk away from a deal. 
Found a deal on this MP400, 2nd Gerber tool, first was a Diesel. 

This little guy is so cute,

Let us know what you think.
I have used the MP400 and I will admit I have a habit of flicking the plier head out of the handles as easy as snapping my fingers.
I do like the pliers, not the combo blade or the Phillips tip. 

It is a tad longer than another tool and does not fit my EDC Ozark sheath that handles my other tools. 

Yet this fella will find a place in my select kits or rotation.

Now I am compelled to look for a BO MP400 or 450 for my special op assignments;)
