Did I sin against the SAK gods?

[ducktapehero]

So the last few days have been busy with me tinkering a lot. Working on my car to doing stuff around the house. So I've been carrying my Spirit a lot lately. I absolutely love this tool but I found the ultimate weakness of it. I couldn't find it for a few hours yesterday and I was horrified. I had lost my baby. I decided that I'm gonna buy a LM Kick to do busy work so I don't lose my good tool. If I break or lose a Kick it's no big deal, they're cheap and I can go to Wal-Mart to get a new one. Of course I'd still use my Spirit for outdoor adventures and more important jobs.

Now is this a sin against the SAK gods or am I honoring the higher quality tool by possibly sacrificing a lesser tool on unimportant stuff?

Shelfing (as in actually putting on a shelf, not the other thing) tools offends them.


Anyway, the spirit isn't a real tool, it's a shiny tool shaped object that is fun to touch, if you want to do real work, you need a leatherman anyway

Oh I wouldn't say that. As of yet, I have NOT broken a Spirit but I HAVE broken a Super Tool.

Do you consider the Spirit a SAK? (to each their own, unless you meant the Swiss Gods! and I thought that was money!)
and where did you end up finding it by the way?

I have to use my Spirit, I have a Kick and Blast and they are fine but
nothing feels like the Spirit!

I'm EDCing a Spirit as we speak  I still say its THE best all round multitool    The Kicks OK but your going to miss the tool selection you get with the Spirit  My advise is get another Spirit as a spare .Or try a mighty Swisstool

I know what you mean, DTH. I use a Kick as a beater tool too. It's small and light and I am never worried about damaging or losing it.

The main downside is the limited tool selection, which has me considering getting a Blast.

It is a weird to leave my clearly superior SwissTool behind for a Kick though...

It all comes down to two words...

SAFE QUEEN

You will anger the Swiss Gods by sullying you hands on a lesser tool!

Stay true to the path of the righteous and keep using the Spirit, just paint it so you can find it easier

 The Swiss Gods are jelous gods, buddy you are taking a hell of a chance!Ya might get stomped by bearer Dwarven maidens who will pour stale beer on you ,after passing it thru their kidneys !

YOU SHALL BURN IN HELL FOR THIS!!!

Bow down on your hands and knees you apostate!!!

AND BEG FORGIVENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't feel bad I lost(or someone "borrowed" it) my Pelican flashlight a month ago and haven't seen it since.

[Freudian Frog]

I actually leave the Spirit in my backpack, along with a laptop and graphing caluclator and all sorts of expensive things... I keep a watchful eye.

The PST in my pocket or Blast on my belt is for beating.

Just send the Spirit to me for safekeeping so then you'll never lose it. You'll always know I have it. 

Ok, ok.........  seriously, I would just keep using the Spirit. Throw a GID & bright-orange mixed lanyard on it so it sticks out, but just keep using it. You bought it to use it, no?

Some people pay a lot for that over in Asia.

Well see, that's the problem. I can barely afford gas for my car right now. I'd love to be able to have a spare Spirit but ATM if I bought one my wife would neuter me. Of course ATM I can't afford a Kick so it's a moot point.

[Leatherman123]

The reason you are afraid to lose it is because it's engraved and it has a pocket clip- right?

It would be worth it

Yeah. It's a pretty special tool to me. And by no means would I make it shelf queen. I would just use the Kick on the dirty and crappy jobs. And I have to admit I like the Kick. I had one and for what it is it's great. I would love it if Vic would come up with something similarly priced. Replacing a 20 dollar tool is a lot less painful than replacing a 60 dollar tool, especially when you're as broke as I am. We're even considering moving to a cheaper place to save some money. I sold one of my cars yesterday to pay off some debt.

It's reasons like this why I want to get the cheaper tool. I do not want to lose it since 1) it's so special to me and 2) I simply couldn't afford to get another one.
