It bit me!
on: July 31, 2017, 06:02:52 PM
Am I the only one who is constantly getting the fleshy part of my hand pinched when using the pliers on a LM? You're busy trying to tighten or loosen something, the jaws slip off, the handles close and OUCH! Was the same with my Skeletool and now my Charge. There is no room between the handles for your hand when the jaws are closed tight. Result, blood blisters, bruises and some slightly blue air. Always the same place too. The fleshy part under the forefinger.

Am I a dufus or do other people suffer this also?

I find you can avoid it by not wrapping your hand around the handles so much.

Yes definitely happened to me more than once.  Seems to average at least one good bite a year.  And as Aloha said it really gets the meaty part of my hand.

Maybe you should have a look at a Victorinox Spirit  ;).


I'm trying to work out which model of the Spirit has the bit driver slot? Or indeed two like my modded Charge. :D

Or get some thick gloves?...

 :think:
By which point I might as well be carrying a Knipex. I have to admit to have played with the idea. But however far from ideal any tool on my Charge is, I can't for the life of me work out how to replace it with the 'real' tools in even three times the bulk.

I recall someone mentioning once that they carry a SAK + a good pair of pliers as something of a compromise. Could be just the thing.
