Maybe we could ask for a new Tough Guy badge
To be honest, there are many MTs, from other popular manufacturers, that are way worse. I've carried a TT for a couple of weeks before and rather enjoyed it. But, that said, it takes some acclimation.
Very cool that you've managed over two decades with a Tough Tool!I am pretty excited about this challenge for sure! The ST1 is one of the few MTs I really wanted early in my MT collecting. My first one was expensive, because they were fetching a premium at the time. Right now I see them for $20-$30 in usable condition(and my unused example was only $40). Definitely a good value for the function the ST1 offers.

It's the only multitool I've owned so I can't compare, but it sure has and continues to serve me well, roughly 22 years now.
That is an excellent combo, sir! The combo I'm using in the challenge will be the ST1 and Explorer. Will even be throwing in a vintage Maglite(circa 1988) to ride along with them.
Of course. I could probably go without pairing the ST1, but I've always carried an MT, SAK, and light. And, to boot, the blade is really the only thing I really really really dislike on the TT. Will try to use it as a main blade for the challenge, but having a better knife(sak for example) may be needed for extended use during the course.
Can't recall I've ever used the main blade once. I have used the scraper blade (the one that also serves to unlock the tools on one handle) to remove paint and the like, but that's it.
I'll be pairing mine with a Spirit XBS but will only break out the Spirit when the TT fails. This will be an intersting challenge for me. I've never done anything more than play aroound with the TT , so 30 days of "ONLY" TT's unique design will be totaly new to me.
Could you possibly do both at the same time? Can't turn a bolt with a fixed blade knife. If you can only do the 7 day, that's cool too. It'll be fun having you around after your 7 day is over.
You can do two challenges at the same time however you can only apply for one Badge at the end of the challenges.
That's what I thought, thanks for asking though
