Bananna's It's Augu"ST" SwissTool 30 DAY Challenge
on: August 01, 2017, 02:12:00 AM
     
Thaught I'ld dedicate this one to Poncho who said he would give it a thirty day go with me.   
Hope he spent some time in the gym because this one's not for the weak.

So who else is up for the carry?

Just a warm up  with Swisstool X 
Day 1 Starts tomorrow.

You'll have to ask the Mods on that one as the Spirit has it's own Merit Badge 30 day challenge, as I understand it this one's for the BIG GUY.

He is correct :salute: This one is for the big brother the Swisstool because the Spirit does indeed have its own separate badge :cheers:

Anyone wishing to enter this challenge can enter all the way through up until Midnight of August 1st (if that is OK with the host that is :salute: ) Midnight where ever you live ;) :D

Kinda excited as I have never really carried this tool out much but have used it plenty at home over the years :cheers:

I must just observe.  I do not own a Swisstool or a Spirit, yet following this will hopefully enlighten me just as the MP600 and Gerber challenge create a hunger that caused me to pick a Diesel. 
So carry on!
Also, August is 31 days. 
Best of luck to all who accepts this challenge.

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Thanks, it's been on my wishlist for a while.  It's hard justifying buying one when I have a few Leathermans and a Gerber.

Hey guys, as I have been using the Swisstool a month since Douglas started my Vic ST journey,  I am in. Kind of gotten fond of the 19 year old Swisstool!

Here's a link to last months picks and some discussion if you want to check it out. https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,72712.0.html
There are a lot of posts on the Swisstool in the Swiss Army Knights Forum with great info.  I don't think you'll find it hard to justify if you actualy get your hands on one.  Just take the time to understand the differant tool sets available.

You might want to dig out a spot for a new swimming pool to hold all that :drool:. :whistle:

I'd like to give it a go with a less than 20-year-old red-label Swisstool that just happens to have the correct implement to remount this more than 100-year-old license plate. Yes, the "14" stands for "1914."
The matching red and white gave me a kick.
