Any Interest?
on: December 20, 2017, 05:13:26 AM
I must admit to almost being reluctant to even bring this up, but curiosity and maybe a little sense of adventure got the better of me.   :facepalm:
So here goes. 
I've ECD'ed the same basic set up now for years with the Swisstool X being the centerpiece.  I gave the Leatherman Surge a go for 30 days and was pleasently surprised.  I have and do still carry a Spirt X on "light duty" weekends and am considering giving it a full "heavy duty" daily run.  :ahhh
So I am wondering if any one would like to join me in a 30 day Spirit Challenge for the month of January.  :cheers:
Any Takers? 
Any comments? 
All are welcome. :pok: :pok:

Same here, that is why it's a CHALLENGE.  As I said in the intro I too am reluctant.  The Spirit just feels so "dainty" compaired to the Swisstool and Surge.  Makes me afraid I'll break it.  But if I do Vic offers great medical facilities.

A large tool store here, called Lee Valley, has several on their website. It’s $22.00 Canadian for one. If you are willing to send me the cash I’ll send it to you.

You need to buy a single “AAA” to fit well.

This reminds me--I need to get a SwissTool (better for my uses) or Spirit (better for pocket carry). Unfortunately, for a buyer like myself, they hold their value much too well. Still hoping I score one cheap at a flea market, but around here's it's Gerber country.  I might as well buy a new one at used prices. They're rarely less than 75-80% of the new prices, even well used.

Can you measure the thickness on those?
I'm wondering if the P3 is that much wider...

The SUREFIRE is 15mm in diameter at the widest (head) and 76mm long.

My P3 is 15mm at the most narrow point. It fits when I put it in end first, but the larger zoom head is quite wide. Still fits though, since the head sticks out. But it's now to long to close it (94mm)
