My New SAK Family Portrait
on: January 22, 2009, 01:18:55 PM
ok... so it's not all swiss stuff... but I think the content is primarily Swiss...


Now I just need to play with these new toys some more and write up a proper review...

You'd be easy to find in poor light!

What's that Gerber torch Whoey? Have you got the model name so I can look for info about it?

Cheers,
I used to come here a lot.

The bag is a Wenger Laptop bag (backpack) I don't actually have a laptop suitable for use in it, but it's the most comfortable backpack I've ever owned. It has a padded compartment for the laptop on the inside of the main pouch.

The torch is a Gerber Infinity Ultra (LED Task Light), Def recommended it to me. I wanted something smaller to carry around for those IT emergencies where I need light inside a tower, works on 1AA battery which is even better!

I have the same light and it works great, there's a trick where you can use it like a clickie by putting slight pressure on the back. Your line up looks great, now that you spent $100 on a bag you need to spend 1k on the laptop for it  :D

I have an old p2-233 laptop... just haven't found a use for a new one... I'd prefer the money went to upgrading my tower.

had the knife since summer... I do love it...

decided to play with my camera a bit after my brother-in-law pestered me the other day about how to turn on some settings (we have exactly the same DSLR camera - Nikon D50) here is one of the results:

The great thing about the Infinity Ultra is that I use it all the time, and it's still on the original battery.  I have had it for two years now, and it's been through the washing machine several times!  It's not super bright like many lights these days, but I figured in an enclosed computer case, a "supernova in a metal tube" type light might have made things much more difficult to work on!  I usually stick with low powered lights for small areas like that as I like to keep my retinas un-fried....   :ahhh

I think you are missing a few knives though.... like this one:



Have you managed to put the Spirit and Clutch to use yet or are they just photo material so far?  :D

I have to say I love the size of the clutch, however anything besides the blade/nailfile/pliers is nearly impossible to open.

I haven't had anything to use the Spirit for anything besides photo-bait... it still has the factory oil on it... :P

and yes I left some of the oldies out... but they are still around.

The Inifinity Ultra has been nothing but handy... especially when the wife blew the fuse the other day...
