A HUGE thanks to CeHo for getting this gorgeous piece of MT history into my hands. He is one of the most kind and conscious people I have ever interacted with. I just wanted to mention that specifically. I've had great experiences with users here, but CeHo was a standout interaction. The tool is exactly as he specified and absolutely awesome. I had never even seen an A100 in person, so having a pristine example as my first is awesome. THANK YOU, CeHo! :salute:
So, as of today, the A100 is crossed off my list of grail tools. :woohoo:
Oh, I almos forgot.
:worthless:

Thank you, Pacu! :cheers:
I can honestly say that it lives up to the hype. I didn't expect the level of fit and finish on the A100 that is has (at least the one I received). If you find one for sale at a reasonable price, it is a great collection piece. :)

I was also pleasantly surprised when I held it in my hands for the first time (and yes pfrsantos, that's what she said ;)).
It's a great piece of multitool history, but it's a great tool as well. And the fit and finish on the one that I got was also perfect. I read that this one predates the Crunch, and that it was the first multitool with a OHO blade, long before the Wave.
I'm happy for you that you had the chance to add it to your collection :cheers:.

Thank you, Top-Gear! :cheers:
Indeed, he OHO blade is a first and executed very well. The jaws have the least play(as in none with the a100) I've ever seen on looking pliers as well. :iagree:

:woohoo:
yes, what a nice vintage tool is that... :multi:
the A100 is built tough, solid, and sturdy
designed well, strong, and very precise
you can debate whether it looks purdy
but you can tell that it's worth its price
:hatsoff:

Thank you, Aloha! :cheers:
I've been trying to locate one thing that isn't just-right on the one I have. Can't seem to find anything. :multi:

I've had a couple of A100/Craftsman 45516's with broken/missing screws ( I think the factory may have over-tightened them at original assembly).
A more common fault is corrosion on the metal saw (it is obviously made of different metal). However Craftsman made a repair kit (45517) which included a replacement metal saw (and other tool components)

yeah my metal saw is rusted,
and my blade pivot got busted,
but, this tool I have trusted,
since so well was it crafted 8)

Thank you, gentlemen! I am going to go put a coat of protective oil on the saw blade, since it looks brand new right now. :)
