Okay, an unusual request here.
I'm trying to think of as many variations as possible, where three would be the max!
i.e
The three LM Pruners - Genus/Vista/Hybrid
The three Vic' Butane lighters - Campflame/Swissflame/XXLT
The three LM Zytel models - Blast/Fuse/Kick
The three Paladin's - 540/525/510
Obviously I know there maybe varying finishes, B/O, Silver, Camo etc etc.
But I'm more interested in model specific.
Any contributions?
-
Swisstool/Swisstool RS/Swisstool X
Spirit/Spirit S/Spirit X
Kick/Fuse/Blast
That's off the top of my head, if they fit your criteria.

Kind of ... 5WR, ST6, 6LC ... there appears to be minor variations on some/all of them, but essentially they are the three "types". I'm not exactly wise about them myself, but there's lots of threads here with plenty of info. I have an ST6 variation - forgot which one :think: and a 6LC, and I am (thankfully) not pursuing the 5WR (which apparantly is a real chuff to track down)

I have just the one. Don't know the model number but do know its got the slight curved jaws.
Given its fairly high value these days, mine will no doubt remain in its blister pack - perish the thought of it eh' Al

They are mostly identical, just like the SwissTool, except that the standard Spirit has scissors and the peanut butter blade, the S version has the peanut butter blade and a drop point blade and the X has the drop point blade and scissors.
Although I readily admit I may have mixed up the S and X.

One of mine is actually still in the packaging to be honest (the 6LC - the one that looks like a leg iron :P ), and if I don't have any cause to use it after a certain time it will be sold that way. I do like having it around as a locking plier option though, and from a capability perspective it compliments the Grappler and ST6H (I remembered :P) quite well due to having such a large clamping ability. A good tool to have around by the looks of it :)

Hi zoidberg.
The knifeless fuse is still the fuse. But if as you say the Core has Zytel liners then I'll have to cross out the other three.
What's it for??
It all started a few weeks back when I was trying to make sense of all the stuff I've accumulated
I grouped the Vic' butane lighters, LM pruners and Zytel models together. It was then that I began pondering what other models were limited to just three. It makes collecting them a much easier goal to achieve. Before the new style Charge arrived on the scene I was contemplating going after the ti and xti. I've got the Paladin 540 so now I'm gunning after the 525 and 510 etc etc etc.
I just thought rather than buying anything and everything this route would give more satisfaction.
Each to their own, I suppose.
Cheers :salute:

I don't count the Core with the Fuse, Kick and Blast because the Core is larger than the other three, while the Fuse, Kick and Blast are pretty well the same tool, just with a varying number of tools inside. The handles (frame if you will) of the three are the same, while the Core is a bigger version of them.

I'll go with that Def, that's another trio in the bag!!!
-
The Core does have Zytel liners though, so if counting them for that reason, then yes, there are four. I just picked them for different criteria. :D

To make it a bit more difficult, maybe add the Juice color patterns to the list.
Blue: S2, SC2 and CS4
Red: S2, SC2 and C2

Alright, alright :rofl:
We seem to be wandering off somewhat :facepalm:
A run of 3 tools only - a good example is the LM Pruners, Vic butane lighters, Paladin,s etc etc. what these have in common is that there is just 3
The skeletool, super tool, are great contributions in that there are 3 distinct variations. Wether it's silver,B/O or gold is irrelevant, the tool itself is one of a three.

You say we are of topic, I think we are still remarkably close to being on topic for this place! :P

... and if we're being really pedantic there are 6 versions of the Schrade Vise Grips as each type has two variations >:D
The Buck X-tract has three variations (not counting colour) the original model, the Essential and the Fin ... although there is the LED version which is a variation on the original ... so is that three or four :think:
The Bucktool comes in three different sizes, but if you speak to Longbow there's probably about 17 different variants >:D >:D >:D
The Squirt with metal scales was the P4, S4 and E4, but the E4 was a specific for Radio shack, so does that mean there are only really two ... or does the PS4 mean there are four
The Styles ... there's the standard, the PS and the CS but the latter two are so different, does that actually qualify as three or just two?
The Spirits (which Grant got completely right in his assessment) are three, but the 2010 RT is an X model which is very different in appearance and droolability to the X, so does that make it four? What about the cap crimper ones?
The knifeless fuse IS a different tool to the fuse, by virtue of the file instead of the blade, and is a viable tool in it's own right in areas where the bladed Fuse is unacceptable ... and then there's the Core ... so it's a matter of whether it's four or five rather than a three :whistle:
Freestyle, Skeletool and MUT? Set of three or rather contrived attempt at grouping?
Swiss+Tech 6 in 1, 8 in 1, 19 in 1?
IDL T5, T7 and T10?
Jedward and Louis Walsh? (They're all complete tools)
Minigrip, coffin scaled version, and Irongrip ... even though there's different versions .... and then there's the Porsche version :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
I think you might be on a loser with this one, Nick :angel:
-
Oh Al, I do so despair.
I say the glass is half empty, and you would stake your life it was actually half full. :facepalm:
The scenarios you list are all borderline.....so fine, not a problem.
But those that I and others mentioned are without doubt a trio if ever there was such a thing as a trio.
I'm not looking to make connections - simply trying to find the triplets!!
How hard can that be?

Glad I could help :rofl:

Actually there are 3 distinct Spyderco Spyderench's
PE
SE
Combo
Also,
Wenger Titanium I,II,III :D

How about the SOG MT's in the three most common finishes:
SS, BO and TiN ? (I don't count the almost-mythical tiger-stripe as those are so rare most people will never actually handle one in the metal)

That's a slippery slope Greg, if we go down that route then most things become a possibility.
No, I insist!! Three's the magic number - there can only be three.
What do we have so far..
LM Supertool, ST200, ST300
Victorinox Butane Lighters (Campflame, Swissflame, XXLT)
Paladin 510, 525, 540
LM Zytel Blast, Fuse, Kick
LM Pruners Genus, Vista, Hybrid
Spyderco Spyderench PE, SE, Combo
LM Charge Ti, XTi, TTi (all share identical scales)
Wenger Blackout 63, 52, 10
Wenger Titanium I,II,III
LM Skeletool plus SX and CX versions
Am I right in thinking there were only 3 Wenger Metal (50, 51, 799) with the plain brushed finish (no inlay)
There's got to be more :think: I need more...more :ahhh :ahhh
-
woah, necrothread!
Anyway, I don't think the Core can be ignored. Either you have Kick/Fuse/Blast and the Core becomes part of the Supertool series (the ST 250) or you have three Supertools (1, 200, 300) and Kick/Fuse/Blast/Core. Given the naming, I'd go with the latter.
There are other numbers too.
5 Squirts: S4, P4, E4, PS4, ES4.
5 crappy identical Gerbers: Resolve, Suspension, Crux, Method, and Tread.
5 Charges: AL, ALX, Ti, TTi, XTi
I could go on.
Freestyle, Freestyle CX, Skeletool, Skeletool CX, Skeletool SX...

In addition there are the three new Vise-grip multi-pliers, 6LN, 5WR and 5CR.

I'd say another triplet would be...
LM Wingman, Rev, Sidekick (essentially the three entry level Leatherman, all with clip and outside accessible tools, similar construction...)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD6xuOoWj94
in my opinion, another triplet would be
SOG PowerPlier, Powerlock, Pocket`PowerPlier for having very similar looks, toolset, functioning and mechanisms

Well, if we are into necrothread revival mode I'll just have a look at my spreadsheet and see what legit contenders I see ......
I'm surprised the three BuckTools didn't make the official list: 350, 355, 360
(they were mentioned early on in this thread)
There are also the three different sizes of Bear Jaws MT; Mini BJ, BJ and Super BJ :pok:
How 'bout Gerbers with Multi-Lock handles ? MP400, MP600, MP650 ? :pok: :pok:

I could never get a decent 6LC, and it was the first that I started looking for... :P
I got a 5WR, two ST6, a Crunch and two Kershaws A100 during the hunt but no 6LC which was the one I originally wanted to get :rofl:

Hi Greg
Having reread the post I think i got myself mixed up.
I have 5 schrades. Don't ask me to give the numbers. I'm so behind with details like that these days. I have both the regular versions with different blades, Both the Needlenose version with different blades and 1 Curved jaw blade with the drop point blade, so I guess its the Sheepsfoot version I'm missing. But truth be told I haven't even looked inside my Schrade box for well over 2yrs!!
I'm just not that focused these days. I had a little binge before Christmas, buying several missing MT's & SAK's and was stunned when I sat down and worked out how much I'd blown :facepalm:
As for the trade...I only have 1 of each model in my collection, so trading would be pretty pointless as I'd then be constantly on the lookoiut to replace it - But cheers for the offer.

I think I have multiples of each main variant of the Schrade Toolboxes (5WR, ST6, 6LC), so I don't want (or need) another Schrade, but it sounds like you aren't keen anyway. No problem :tu:
