Nice one! 

Will it be a user?

[Sean]

Yes I will carry it around for light duty use.  Phoned back to the store to see if they had anymore but no luck.

[Medic82]

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! You going too use it!!!!!!!


How much did you have to spend?

Oh, Welcome to the club.

Well bloody done!! 

Don't you listen to all this leaving it in a drawer rubbish.  It is a heavy duty tool so I am sure using it won't hurt it.

[Sean]

Well the original (faded) sticker said $109.    But obviously that was when it arrived at their store years ago.  I kind of looked it over through the showcase and this after pretending to be interested in some leatherman's he had as well.  I told him I didn't want to spend that much on a leatherman charge and I said how about that Sog?
So to make this story longer than it should be, he said how about $79?  So thats where I left the store with plier in tow.

Nice snag. I want one of the smaller ones just to try.

Oh, Welcome to the club.

Thanks for the welcome.
 It would be a shame to have it sit in a drawer!  Sure I'm not going to be cutting rebar with it but heck, wear yours around and cut a few apples, twist a few wires.  For me anyway, it is a tool and was made to be used and by using it, it adds to it's character.

I really do like it when people use thier tools. I have nothing in the line of safe queens. I use all of mine!

Kudos to ya!

[Anthony]

Has anyone every sent a Toolclip back to SOG for repair/replacement?  If they are under warranty, I woulden't worry about using it hard...

good score BTW

[Sean]

Thanks for your comments of support fellas.  You know years ago in and around the time I bought my Leatherman Super Tool I remember seeing and I think it was A.G Russell or the like those Sog Toolclips and some Al-Mar pliers
being advertised.
In hindsight I'd now wished I would have bought an Al-Mar.  I'd guess I wouldn't be alone in that one huh?

Your new ToolClip has a "Use Me" look about it. The Al Mar on the other hand, has "Fondle Me" written all over it.

Very nice example indeed!   I have never seen one other than on the net or in an old catalogue.

They aren't very practical I'm afraid, at least as compared to current multitools. But they ARE a lot prettier.

[Sean]

Yeah I guess not but a real classic it is.  I do remember seeing them in the better catalogues probably early 90's?  AG Russell sure has a nice site and puts out a descent catalogue as well.

Agreed! Pretty much all top notch stuff too. (and usually out of my price range)

[Sean]

The one thing I've noticed on the toolclip is how sharp the wire cutter is on the unit.  Without exaggerating here it actually makes a clean scissor cut through an unfolded napkin (1ply).  I don't think I own another plier that will do that.
