I'm in a good mood- time to pay it forward!
on: March 07, 2019, 04:38:02 PM
I am in a good mood this morning and I think we need to do something to celebrate before something comes along to kick me in the smurfs.   :facepalm:

The first person that PM's me their address is going to get a gift.  I'm not telling what it is, but it will be free and absolutely theirs.

There are a few conditions though, as there always will be with anything worth having!

1- You must post photos when you get it.
2- You then have to pay it forward and send either the gift (it isn't always for everyone!) or something of equal value to the first person who sends you their address.

If you aren't willing to pay it forward, don't enter.  If you aren't willing to ship internationally, don't enter, because you never know who the first person to message you will be. 

So, who is game?  :D

That didn't take long!

Two messages within 5 seconds of each other, and you know what?  I'm doubling up.  Both of you are getting something!

BTW, my comment about "equal value" above is subjective.  No one is going to tally everything up- just make it worthwhile and interesting.  Dollar Value isn't as important as the enjoyment of doing something good for someone else!

Shipping is up all over the place. I just shipped a backpack from PA to CA and the cheapest was $23.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

Yes, shipping is a colossal pain in the hiney.   :facepalm:

Speaking of which, the packages to the two initial recipients will go out first thing tomorrow morning.  I had them all packaged up and ready to go immediately, but then my day got away from me and they didn't get in the mail on Friday as anticipated.  I am too paranoid to leave stuff in an outside mailbox any longer than necessary, so they will be on their way Monday morning at 0900hrs.  :D

It's arrived! I'm going to offer it up to the first person who pm's me and will not show pics yet just to keep it a surprise - It's a good bit of kit but I just won't use it.

So......first person to pm me gets it  :pok:

Ok peeps, so, I was the other lucky one to take a bite of Grant's big surprise!



while having a small cup of coffee  :whistle: this morning I opened the package,



and to my surprise, I liked it a lot, so it's not going anywhere  :D  and I won't post pics unless mags gives me permission  :salute:



but of course, the next one to send me their PM and address will get something put on the mail for them before this weekend  :cheers: :tu:
and if that person wants to perpetuate the chain of giving to another member, that's up to them but it would be a very nice, MTO style way to keep the fun  ;)

looking forward to the testing mags  :popcorn:
And Douglas, you were the first!!  :woohoo:  This Friday after work I'll send you something,  :angel:

and now, for you all to see what Grant's GAW was about...



with the nice company of the wooden Duck
I opened the package from that old Canuck  :D

Several Mt.Org stickers that will proudly label everal of my belongings as "MINE"  :twak:
they were the icing on the cake of this cool, sturdy and innovative tool

The AXEM 4.0 one piece multitool, made by our Italian friends
Here's Grant's thread when it was first announced:

https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,78867.0.html

and Antti's thorough review:  :o

https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,79743.0.html

There's little to cover about this stool that Grant or Antti didn't show, put to the test or review,  :dunno:
but here are some more comparison pics so you see its size

It feels really solid and capable, the edge is sharp, the saw aggressive and it will now replace this crummy, crappy Chinese "Credit card tool" that I got, with a dull saw and pot metal steel (far left)  :rofl:



I tried to cut with its main edge, and it managed surprisingly well to cut a sausage in fine slices.  :ahhh



I'll update here as I get to know the tool.

Thank you Grant!!!!  :cheers:
