Gearhead in Florida
on: September 03, 2024, 05:09:06 PM
Hello from sunny Florida.

Big tool collector here... multitools, Swiss army knives, etc..

I was a mechanic in the US Airforce and my grandpa was a welder/boilermaker and so I inherited his stuff so needless to say I have a lot of tools.

Just found this forum when looking for some info on the steel used in Gerber multitools so I figured I join up.

Also run a small youtube channel called "Modern Tool and Gear" if anyone is interested.

Looking forward to some discussion.

Awesome! I worked on aircraft (mostly Marine Corps) when I was in the Navy, and if all goes well, I'll be a land vehicle mechanic before too long.
