Mini Tool Has Arrived! More old school LM Goodness!
on: November 03, 2017, 05:07:51 AM
Got my 'new to me' LM Mini Tool in today. After seeing how beloved this strange little tool was around here and seeing Poncho's copious photography of the Mini, I had to get one. Won an auction for an unused Mini on evilbay for $40 after shipping and this thing is just cool as heck. No regrets about buying it. :)
Is it the best MT ever? Nope.
Is it unique and superbly made? YES.

Has pliers, blade, and file/flat head driver combo as the only tools. Party trick is no secret though! Handles fold out for a full handled medium duty set of pliers. :o
I was amazed at the sheer quality if this tool. It is easily comparable in engineering and quality as the greats like the PST/PST2/Flair/OG ST/ and Crunch.

Anyway. :worthless:
So here they are. Along with shots along side other Old school LM greats.

I pick mine up from the post office today (hopefully). It should be it arriving. The card says it's an international package so I'm guessing it's my https://store.multitool.org/ purchase.

Not your fault Mechanickal :hatsoff:!
I find that international mail tracking systems are not well tuned to each other, so detail tends to get lost once borders are crossed (an extreme example is Russia - but what do you expect?). Either that or DHL has a bad day or more than one :rant: :twak:
As it happens though I am expecting further LM goodies, one of which is apparently due today, one tomorrow :mail:

Thank you all for the input and kind words!

The Mini was a big hit at work. Nobody could believe the way it transforms from a small lump of metal to a full size set of pliers. Quite a cool site. :multi:

And congrats to those who have gotten and are getting a Mini!  Well worth it to any MT collector and even MT user.

Even though the tool itself is fascinating and me clearly seeing why people tend to like it so much, I didn't really connect with it.
It should pop up again any minute now...

POP!

Oh, the mailman brought me a package. Hmmm. The second today and the third in two days.

I wonder what's inside...



Applying a Rebar...



Lots of padding...



The story unfolds... a sheath added in for good measure :hatsoff:



Some more shots. The Mini is perfectly mint :tu:







Together with today's other arrival:



Add yesterday's arrival:



All in all, to use Richard Quest's words, a couple of profitable days :2tu:

Thanks Mechanickal for taking good care of this Minitool! It snuck into my fifth pocket and is still sitting there :ahhh

I felt the same way about the Mini myself  ;)

Glad it got there safe!
Hope you didn't have to much trouble opening the package :whistle:
First time I used a celluloid tape which is really stretchy, sticky and super strong.

Enjoy it buddy! :2tu:
