Nope I ment the Digger

It carries a NATO stock number thus making it a NATO issue multitool

I believe Norway have them too and I'm sure there must be more .
Tell me why you call it a Digger ?

So far only a Farmer , a Classic SD , and a Gerber Artifact . In fact I have had a net decrease , I gave my remaining Leatherman tools to my former apprentice , I just wasn't packing them anymore .

Careful Dave

, I saw a good documentary that talked about that very thing , Churchill's(it was his plan & lost him his Ministry position) disastrous Gallipoli campaign cost many Aussie lives & many people thought the British command treated the commonwealth forces as expendable(including Canadian soldiers) . But that is the problem with war any way good people are treated as expendable

DaveK · **Reply #42 on:** March 21, 2009, 03:07:13 AM

It was a bit of a shambles that campaign - tragic really. I suppose spin isn't a new phenomenon, but I thought the rationale behind sending the Aussies (and maybe Canadian troops?) there was because the British were bogged down in mid Italy? I'd have to read up to be sure.

But I would never seriously belittle any of the commonwealth countries involvement in any war. Even as recently as the Falklands conflict, Oz was there in our hour of need, lending us carriers etc.

Just my rather poor sense of humour mate.

All I got this year has been this hunk o' junk.

Better throw it in the bin then... My bin preferably.

It is ok Dave I knew it was a joke & did not take offense

MultiMat · **Reply #46 on:** March 21, 2009, 09:24:38 AM

I am not sure I want to play this game

. I did a provisional count & came up with 10 MTs + 1 SAK

. I have paid for another 4 MTs

.

Funny I was talking to the misses & commented how my first MT 'THE SURGE' has just spent a year in my possession (birthday gift from the misses last year) .
Scary how a snowball can become a avalanche .

I decided I want to add a Gerber Urban Companion to that list of mine, been wanting one for a while.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #48 on:** March 24, 2009, 12:16:51 AM

There was a giveaway on here for one of those awhile ago.. I think Dennis had it and Spoony one if my memory serves me!

David Bowen · **Reply #49 on:** March 24, 2009, 12:55:10 AM

Yes, I found some on ebay when I was looking earlier today, it is going for $25 buy it now. Not bad, I think the one handed blade and the scissors could be a real benefit. Sometimes better than hauling around a whole tool with you. Kinda like the X-Tract but without the drivers

Binga the Spyderench you mentioned earlier what did it set you back , I remember you were looking for a US one & was willing to settle for a Byrdrench. Cool that you snagged a original what do you think of it ? I would like 1 one day

David Bowen · **Reply #51 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:37:09 AM

It's interesting, not a multitool for every task but something that is EDC worthy. The fiddle factor or gadget factor is quite high. I like it alot and it's a really cool and unique tool. I got mine from GadgetGuy and I helped him fill in some blanks with his X-Tract collection :

*Alot of folks have been shortening my name to binga LOL, The "B" is the first letter of my last name and "inga" for me living in georgia. Never thought I would end up as the man known as BinGA
