Powernoodle Day 4I shortened the shoe strings on some On Cloud trainers as you lads over there would say. I sealed the ends with a lighter. The ARC cut them easily. The P4 could not cut them at all - the strings kept binding up. Each scissor seemed the same in terms of blade sharpness and pivot looseness. Maybe it was user error.[/i]
Dropping in for a quick post. Building my first Meccano model in almost 40 years with the Leatherman P2 to help out.
Powernoodle Day 3(Image removed from quote.)Mrs. Powernoodle and I are in the process of moving our residence, which means that I am deconstructing a ton of cardboard boxes. I EDC a box cutter, and always use it on cardboard because there nothing better than a new utility blade for killing a box. In comparison, and as one would expect, the ARC was fairly lame as a cardboard slicer. The ARC's saber grind (with an unground portion near the spine) with DLC coating is grabby on cardboard, and doesn't want to slide through like a full flat grind. But the ARC's grind is also a little stronger than a full flat grind, and is more aimed at being a general-use blade than a slicer. I am constantly reminded that MTs are almost never the best at a specific task, but excel at convenience. (Image removed from quote.)
Bonus pic for today. An unfamiliar white substance has made its appearance here in Puget Sound over night for the first time this winter season. Neighbor kids across the street are very excited and built a miniature snowman. Possibly more snow to come over the next week. Then rain.JonesE

I would slide the lace all the way to one side so that I only need to cut one of those.
After much contemplation, I have determined that the ARC's file is better than the P4's file.[/i]
The ARC's retractable utility blade is one of my favorite features.[/i]
Looks great, E! Powernoodle Day 6The ARC's retractable utility blade is one of my favorite features.[/i]
You almost got me on that one!
Nicely done!
Powernoodle Day 7(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Its not a fair comparo of course, but the P4 gets about 8 teeth on the fastener, and the Knipex pliers wrench 150 gets two flats.
Nice comparison, powernoodle!
