Hello!
on: September 16, 2024, 06:20:34 PM
My name is Mel, and this is actually my first time ever using a forum. I'm completely obsessed with hand tools, and multitools specifically, and was recently encouraged to find people with similar interests instead of spamming the fediverse with posts about things nobody understands. (I'm @minervissa@toot.lgbt if anyone happens to be from there as well)

If I'm doing something wrong, please tell me; I do not know anything about how forums work and have been too shy to experiment for years.
I have a few screws loose, but that's why I keep 19 screwdrivers on my person at all times.

Not a bad start. Get ready to add a few lot of new ones to that list. I bet in a year you'll have as much SAKs as you have Leathermans (which should have doubled by then).

Caveat enableriums!

Welcome to the forum!

Its pretty hard to do anything wrong here- we don't allow political or religious discussions because they never go well, and we try to keep it family friendly and respectful.

Other than that, I don't think it's too difficult to be a member here!
