Descent into minimalism/madness . I have toyed with the idea of just packing a Wegner SI , and a pair of 4" Snap On slip joint pliers .
If this experiment works , what will become of all my other toys , a wow is me !

That would be a very capable, minimalist combination. If you try it, good luck!
I personally would want a few more tools. I would miss the phillips driver, saws, etc.

I'm in the throes of the same thing mate, for the last month or so, I've just carried my Farmer and either a 58mm mini champ or a 58 classic sd :)

The SI stands for Std. Issue right? ???

How long are you going to try it out for?

Well there's a bit of controversy regarding what SI means ::)
I thought it was Soldat Infantrie, but Terry or Grant (or one of the other sakaphiles) :)

Hang on, I think you will find that we decided it could mean either Soldat infantrie or Standard issue actually. :P

Okay thanks! :pok: :D

Yep.
Basically, you can call it "Standard Issue", but the Swiss won't know what the he11 you're talking about. :D

I see! :cheers:

I've never tried the Regular pliers + SAK combo but it seems like it would actually be a lot more useful to me, especially with spring loaded pliers. Problem is that most pliers just don't have the sexy/cool factor that comes with the purchase and carry of a multitool.

There's always the trade forums... :D
I think I'm a maximumist...I've been EDCing TWO multis for over a week now, plus the other pockets full of stuff...
How do you plan on carrying the "regular" pliers? Just in your pocket?

A problem with slip joint pliers is that they usually lack a wire cutter. A common variety long nose pliers cannot grip hex head bolts well.
This FELO Combination Pliers (http://chadstoolbox.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8531) is interesting because it has a head similar to a multitool with a wire cutter and teeth to grip bolts.

The Snap On 35CP 4" slipjoint pliers have a nice 1/4" induction hardened and forged cutter . I have used them as a baby linesman's plier in tight spots . Klien makes some nice small needle noses , as does Crescent and Chanellock . I think I'll give it a whirl for a month or so , and see how it works .
