Title: The Great Multitool.org Trivia Thread
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on November 20, 2016, 11:28:23 PM
Let's play MTO Trivia!

The rules are simple- I will ask a question of general multitool knowledge and the first person to answer it correctly gets to ask their question.  Whoever answers that question correctly gets to ask the next question and so on.  Should there be a dispute, it will be up to a moderator (or if it involves one or more mods, it will be up to me) to make the decision.

Given this crowd, we should end up with an excellent reference thread for new users!  :D

So, to start, here is the first question, and it should be an easy one:

What was the first multitool that Tim Leatherman developed called?

Question:

Depends how you count them :P i am not counting West marine/paladin/other "branded" SOG produced tools.

I count 8 (from memory ;) )

Toolclip
PowerPlier
CrossCut
CrossCut 2.0
CrossGrip
OG Switchplier
OG PowerLock
PowerDuo

The MicroToolclip was recently reintroduced, although one could argue that the first 2 generations were different enough to count.

When first appeared, the Leatherman Wave had what looked like a revolutionary handle design. However, there was a previous multitool from another manufacturer which sported the same features even with a Liner Locking Blade included. 

Which multitool it was ?   :think:

That would be it! for those that aren't aware, SOG produced a version of the BlackTip multitool for West Marine that had replaceable wirecutters. However, the wire cutter design was faulty, causing them to shatter prematurely. The tool was quickly recalled and pulled from the shelves, and remains an interesting little tidbit in multitool history.

I remember reading that years ago at the forum, but there are no pics of that Blacktip IIRC.
I couldn't find any picture back then, and nowadays it's the same. Remains an unseen mystery for me. Not from users, not from SOG, and West Marine didn't help there either.

Any help there, folks?

It's able to be bigger as a cross than a plus, while still fitting in a smaller space since the corners are further away than the edges.  It's a highly efficient use of the available space.

You can hold onto a nut or something with them partially in the closed position. It's a bit hard to explain but basically the handles don't fold close.

That's it Ari!

Congratulations!  Now give us a new question!

Plier "serrations" (from fine to coarse I believe) and the metal file (flat end to angled end, i think)

Here is an interesting one.

In order to replace the Bit Holder in a Leatherman Wave with the Phillips driver from a Rebar, which part must also be removed in order to allow the Wave to fold naturally? What is the function of this part?

You got one of the two, you are correct about the file but The plier hasn't changed on the Rebar, I don't think anyway.

The Fisherman - yes

The MP600ST - no, unless carbon scraper is also considered an awl. Then we have five not four.

The W. R. Case and Sons NASA Astronaut Knife M-1

In 1966, Case produced a special limited-edition model of the survival knife that they produced for NASA. This M-1 Survival Knife has been carried on every manned Gemini and Apollo space flight since the "Molly Brown" with astronauts Grissom and Young in 1965. One accompanied Neil Armstrong t the moon. Armstrong is pictured with one of these knives on the Case company historical timeline.


 

 

 

 

Not many knives are noteworthy enough to be featured individually on the Case historical timeline. One of these knives is in the Smithsonian Institute Museum.

 

 

 

The M-1 model 1966 knife is a survival knife and actually resembles a machete. It is 17" long overall and has a  11 3/4" blade. It features white polypropolene handles (the lightest plastic that gives off no fumes)  and saw teeth along the back of the blade. The original knife came housed in a special wooden display case with a space capsule in the background. Case made 2,494 of the knives for sale to the public at $75.00 each back in 1966. This knife was discontinued January 1, 1972.

 

In 1983 Case produced a special "2nd run" of 1000 knives commemorating NASA's 25th anniversary. The anniversary knife is identical to the original M-1 except that the blade has been etched with a special color logo.

During the 1965 flight of the Molly Brown, astronauts Gus Grissom and John Young used special Case knives on a NASA space mission.

Gemini 3 was the first manned mission in NASA's Gemini program, the second American manned space program. On March 23, 1965, astronauts Gus Grissom and John Young flew three low Earth orbits in their spacecraft, which they nicknamed Molly Brown. This was the ninth manned US spaceflight (including two X-15 flights over 100 kilometers), and the 17th world human spaceflight including eight Soviet flights. It was also the final manned flight controlled from Cape Kennedy Air Force Station in Florida, before mission control functions were shifted to a new control center located at the newly opened Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas.

I had to research this one, I hope that is allowed (it is an "open book" exam, isn't it ?    ;)  ).

The prototype LM Freestyle had a carabiner/bottle opener and flat/philips driver, both were removed in the production version which made it significantly smaller than the Skeletool.

From their site, not that I knew the answer without researching it:
for use of the bits in conjunction with "the CRKT® Zilla-Tool Jr"

The design brief was for a shrunken down Zilla, and someone forgot to tell them to not factor down the bit driver by the same percentage as the rest of the tool. This ended up with a duff bit driver size which no bits fitted. The Getaway Driver was introduced so that standard bits could be used in the Zilla Jr - effectively an adaptor to make up for an earlier design cock-up.

Question:
Name three multitool brands named after places.

Note: Must have the place name in their brand name. SwissTech doesn't count, as Swiss isn't a place

Clue #1: Both places begin with letters of the alphabet



Clue #2: Both places are on this planet



Clue #3: One is 8 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time and the other is two hours ahead



Clue #4: Both companies are still going strong



Clue #5: Somebody will argue that one of them isn't a place and that the other one doesn't make multitools



Clue #6: I don't give a crap anymore



Clue #8: I forgot clue #7



Clue #9: Both have profited from tools with instant deployment

Question:
Name three multitool brands named after places.

SHEFFIELD brand - Sheffield , England
WINCHESTER brand - Winchester , Virginia
NICHOLSON brand - Nicholson ,  Mississippi


 :D :whistle: :shrug:

The first was definitely one of the three I had in mind  :tu:
The second I had heard of, but didn't know it was named after a place
The third I've never heard of  :-[

So if anyone wants to carry on further with this question, there are at least two more, and 90% of our members will recognise both brands  ;)
SOG of course...

Because their place of production was so close to Canada they called themselves "South of Canada" or SOC for short... after setting everything up, they realized that they had a typo and everything was labeled SOG, so they claimed that calling themselves "Studies and Observations Group" was the plan all along...

Also, Havalon sounds like a place to visit...

5 basic versions of Plier head.

With and without Cap Crimper.
Now: different variations of construction between even the same exact tool between model years.
And maybe I missed variants too.

Since no one else is having a shot at this here goes.

I have four basic Japan made hollow riveted PST's in my collection:

1-Pocket Survival tool - number 3 in the  LMPSTCP thread
2-US Pat large lanyard attachment, Japan Leatherman knife tang stamp
3-US Pat small lanyard attachment, Leatherman only knife tang stamp. I have two of these. The only difference is the left, right can opener so dont really consider them seperate variations.
4-US Reg'D TM - number 5 in the LMPSTCP thread.

just to clarify, does your #3 have one handle stamped: "LEATHERMAN" in large font, and "US PAT 4238862" in smaller font ? (no "PORTLAND OR" and other handle blank) ie is version number 4] from the  the  LMPSTCP thread ?

The other was the use of spacers in attaching the plier head so the handles wouldnt have to be pressed in to fit the plier head.    :think:   I guess that really started with the Mini Tool.

It really isn't as pronounced on the Kick but you can really see it on the SideClip :tu: One side of the plier head is ground flat to accommodate the extra slim profile of the SideClip and the Kick is as well but I don't think that they ground as much on it as they did the SideClip :D I actually had to go check a couple of Kicks along side of a couple Fuses just to make sure :o :D

Ranger line have very long blade, there is however one that has the longer blade, measured from pivot to tip, or at least when I measure it :D.
I'm fairly sure the saw on my model is longer too ;).

I think you mean the right tool.
The Wenger SwissGrip has the longest knife blade I know off, it is just a smidget longer than the one of the Ranger line (although the Ranger line has the longer edge). I'm also fairly sure it has the longest saw in business.

Nah kidding, but I really would not call that scissors but I concede that they are huge. Still we are looking for a tool that has delicate scissors (not these brutish ones) that are very long (49mm from scissor pivot to tip). The tool is made by Wenger and it does not belong to the Ranger family.

I guesstimeasure* that these SHEARS measure about 54mm from pivot to tip, which would make them the longest if they were scissors :D.

Just so I know, what is your personal definition of the difference between "shears" and "scissors",  'cause it isn't very clear to me ?   :think:

I thought shears were heavier duty, designed for cutting thicker/harder materials (metal, wood etc), while scissors were more for thin/soft materials (paper, fabric, thin foil).  The Wenger pictured above looks like it has what I would call scissors. 

The Excalibur is what I would think of as shears:

Yeah, there is no clear separation... I think there is a largish grey area where they are both depending on your mood. For me shears are short and stubby with more triangular blades (although that does not hold up) either. 'Cause that would make the MP600 scissors into shears.

Yeah, that's a fun thread to re-read every now and then.  It's also interesting to note that I have been making that challenge publicly for over a decade now and Taylor has yet to take me up on it, which means, at least in my estimation that they know their stuff is crap and don't feel the need to advertise that by offering one up for legitimate testing.  Or, they are the one multitool manufacturer in the world that doesn't know about and follow what goes on here at MTO.

Either way, if they are that oblivious or in denial, then I really don't want a tool from them, because they are obviously not the kind of people that pay any attention to the world around them, so how can they manufacture even a halfways decent product?

Mr. Taylor, if you are reading this, my offer to legitimately test any tool in your lineup still stands.  And, folks here will happily point out all of the times I have admitted I was wrong, and I have no issues doing it again, if any tool in your lineup passes muster.  Please feel free to contact me at grant@multitool.org with any comments, questions or concerns you may have.

I've spent a lot of time looking, with no results. The Pocket PowerPlier came out around 1996 i believe, but I cant find any evidence to support that. And i'm pretty sure the PowerPlier is even earlier than that. (ParaTool definitely came before all of them though)

From the top of my head, I might be wrong: red and green plastic, real and fake stag.

You guys are forgetting the black nylon scaled Walther, that makes 5 different scale colour variations :D

The question was 'scale' variations, not just color variations. Numerous others, including black Mauser, green German army,  green NATO, red fireman. There are also rumors of black German police and grey German navy.

99.9% sure there isn't a Dutch army variation with the 108mm, there are only 93mm and 111mm DAKs.

I'm very curious about the German Police versions you mention, anybody has one of these?  :cheers:

Was thinking of the larger Dutch knives, but double-checked and no 108mm Dutch knife. There is a 91mm Dutch military knife (Master Craftsman) with alox handles. (below)

Have heard from several sources about the black German police knife, but have never seen one. Doug Dillman of Freeport Knife (now Casco Bay cutlery) claims to have a grey version of the standard German military 108mm that was issued to the German navy. Don't know if it was a test run or what.

So my question was more specific to scale types of GAK 108mm knives, such as color and material, not shield variations. So far nobody has gotten all correct, but they have however informed me of a bunch of new scale variations that I didn't even know about. If they had both real and fake stag, then I think Ronald's post should be counted as correct. If not I'll give it to glen for the black scales. I was looking for red nylon, green nylon, stag, and then a darker shade of red nylon.

There are both real and imitation stag handles on the 108s.  The real stag can be told by the use of brass pins; the imitation ones are glued on.

Not sure how many screwdrivers are actually on the Giant.  I count eleven, plus two sight adjustment tools. Two sets of six double-ended socket screwdrivers, and  three Minathor screwdriver bits. Not sure I got them all. There are several different versions of the Giant, so other people's counts may vary.

I started to try to answer this one half an hour ago, but my keyboard decided it would no longer type the letter "c" which made it rather difficult.  Cleaned it out and it's working now  :D

Is it the Case Fixxit (designed by Blackie Collins) ?  These were also marketed by Zippo with promotional ads on the front cover, and there was a Shooters Tool version as well.

I believe this question was asked before, and the answer is actually the ToolClip which came before any of SOG's butterfly opening, compound leverage or other folding tools.

That link is in reference to which version of the Power Plier came first, not which tool came first.

MARCH 2001 NEWS
PATENT INFRINGEMENT SUIT SETTLED

March, 2001, Portland, OR - A patent infringement lawsuit filed in Federal District Court last year against a California-based importer has been settled out of court, according to officers of Leatherman Tool Group, Inc.

"We've reached an agreement that recognizes and protects the patent rights associated with our designs," said Roger Bjorklund, Leatherman's vice president of marketing. He added, "This will also help protect consumers from being confused into purchasing similar, but inferior, products."

The original suit, filed in November 2000, accused Central Purchasing, Inc., dba Harbor Freight Tools, of marketing a small multi-purpose tool that infringes seven United States patents associated with Leatherman's best-selling Micra multi-tool. The "Gordon 9 Function Pocket Tool" was being imported by Central Purchasing from a supplier in Shanghai, China.

In the terms of the settlement agreement, Central Purchasing has agreed to pay compensatory damages for sales of the infringing tool, along with attorney fees and damages from sales of tools subject to an earlier agreement between the two companies. Additionally, Central Purchasing has stipulated that the patents held by Leatherman are valid, and the remaining inventory of the infringing Gordon tools has been returned to the supplier in China.

"We would rather not have to sue to protect our rights," said Leatherman Tool Group president Tim Leatherman, "but we are pleased with the resolution of this particular suit. I'm hopeful this action, along with US Customs' enforcement of the General Exclusion Order prohibiting the importing of imitation Micras, will allow us to focus on making quality tools instead of chasing companies knocking off our patented designs."

The Micra, which Leatherman Tool Group introduced in 1996, is protected by 10 U.S. patents, including both "design" and "utility" patents. The privately-held company was founded by Tim Leatherman and Steve Berliner in 1983.

Central Purchasing, Inc. is a mail-order retailer headquartered in Camarillo, California. Under the Harbor Freight name, they also operate 88 retail stores scattered across 20 states.

To stay in the Case Fixxit zone, what are the differences in the slide-out tool components between the standard Fixxit tool and the Shooters Tool variant ?

The original had the bits permanently attached and the Shooter the bits were replaceable ?

Sorry Steve, nice try, but on all Fixxit versions all the slide-out tools (bits and the knife blade) can be removed from the body by simply unscrewing the locating screws all the way out.  I'm not aware that Case ever offered the components as spare parts.

All the tool components (bits) have the same format, but there are significant differences (not counting SS vs black finish).

This thread seems to have stalled a bit, so here is a helpful hint to get things moving again :

The bit drivers on the standard Fixxit were:
Med & Large(ish) Flat drivers,
Med & Large(ish) Philips Drivers.

The Shooters Tool had one Med flat driver, while the other three were all one (different) format driver (in 3 sizes). 

What format are they ?  (starts with H, has 3 letters unless you want to spell it out more fully, in which case you will need 7 or 9 )

Great question  :tu:

  I don't have a Powerlock but looking at pics it seems.

The Powerlock's locking tab is held on by a separate pin and attaches to the outside of the tool with fold over tabs, The ST's pins are integrated as part of the tab and attaches via a hole in the frame. The Powerlock's tension spring is a separate piece riveted on and the spring on the Supertool is cut out of the frame.

The XTi and Ti were the original two, and the XTi was basically the ALX but in Titanium while the Ti was more like the AL.  The XTi and Ti were discontinued so that Leatherman could expand the line with the aluminum versions (AL and ALX) and the new, higher priced TTi in titanium. 

The SLV is like the AL except in grey anodised aluminum instead of the more standard black and was made exclusively for Costco.

The Gerber Cable Dawg wasn't quite what I had in mind, but yes, it will shear wires (and is definitely full size) so you are it, and we are ready for your next question.   :tu:

I would also have accepted the Bear Jaws Gardener, the Fiskars Excalibur shears and Excalibur pruners, the Remington copy of the BJ Bird Shears, the Husky MT with serrated shears, The Imperial Ireland Tradesman shears, Hoffritz pruner MT, Depose Brevete pruner MT, the Buckwing pruner MT, and the Corona Pruner MT (and it's numerous copies), not to mention there is almost certainly others I don't know about (or have forgotten).  At a pinch I may have also accepted the Gerber MP600 and MP650 Cable Cutters.

The first one that jumped to my head was the Mechanic, but thinking about it, I am not 100% certain on when it was released.

If I had to think logically, which often causes me physical pain :P, I would think that the Mechanic (or some other plier equipped model) would have either come first, and then the pliers would have been added to the SwissChamp, rather than having a tool designed to be added to the Champ itself, which is usually considered an amalgamation of all of the other tools.

At least, that's my reasoning- whether it is correct or not is for someone smarter than me to determine.  :D

Someone acquired one on here last year but I can't remember who it was :think: I remember pics of it but that is all :shrug:

Help: What is the name of this Sak? (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,67384.0.html)

I haven't looked but I don't recall seeing one on sakwiki.
A couple years ago I spotted a client wearing those pliers around her orchard but I'm 99% sure it was with a leather sheath/pouch thing.

Why did LM discontinue the Core?
Title: Re: The Great Multitool.org Trivia Thread
Post by: Kev D on March 24, 2017, 12:47:59 PM
Because they weren't making enough money off it, so put something else out that would net the profit they want?

Pass.
Probably had something to do with the ST300 being released with replaceable cutters.
I liked the Core but preferred the tapered handles on the ST series.

I guess I'd better ask a question then (and keeping with the precedent of a non-common brand, this'n is not made by LM, Gerber, Kershaw, Bear, Al Mar Buck, Schrade, Kutmaster, Vic or Wenger, nor is it a cheap knock-off of another brand).  I also like the concept of starting with a sparse clue, then adding more clues if no-one guesses it.  So here goes:

Clue 1:  Flattish rectangular form.

Clue 2:  No pliers or file.

Title: Re: The Great Multitool.org Trivia Thread
Post by: dks on June 14, 2017, 07:12:13 AM
The problem is also the number of questions, making it difficult to know which is still valid and how many you need to answer.

I asked a question as I assumed that I was the only one asking, but it got lost in the following question posts.

Is this oriented as a a fun thread or is it designed to check who knows about the most obscure multitools or owns them? It is not clear now.

The original poster said:
Let's play MTO Trivia!

The rules are simple- I will ask a question of general multitool knowledge and the first person to answer it correctly gets to ask their question.  Whoever answers that question correctly gets to ask the next question and so on.  Should there be a dispute, it will be up to a moderator (or if it involves one or more mods, it will be up to me) to make the decision.

Given this crowd, we should end up with an excellent reference thread for new users!  :D

Def


If the questions are hard then only a few can participate, and they get bored answering all the questions.

I suggest that:

1.  We only have one question at the same time - no multiple posters/questions
2. The question should be reasonably easy to answer googling the forum.
3. The answer should be something useful to new members
4 . If the question is not answered within one day then the poster of the question should provide the answer and ask another one/suggest someone else to do so.
5. The questions are valid for 1 day- If it is not answered by anyone, including the poster of the question, then the mods should just ask a new question.

If you insist .....the two I know of for sure are:

LM PST:  the US version had knurled screws, the Japanese version had peened rivets.

LM Squirt:  Most had peened rivets, but a small number were made with torx screws (this variant was popular with modders)

What different colour scales has LM definitely made Squirts in ?

And for extra bonus points:

What other colour scales could they have made if they had wanted to ?   (based on the colours of other LMs with coloured scales that they have made in the past).

You started very well, but then ran out of steam when the going got tough. 
Big Hint:  They actually made Squirts in 8 colours that I know of (admittedly some were made in small numbers).

Keep trying everyone   :tu:

Blue, red, grey, black, pink, lighter blue, and I think I have seen a yellow and a green one posted in a thread somewhere in here.
They could also have colors of the Juice line, like silver, purple, and orange.
Maybe also BO, tan, and camo. :drool:

It turns out that's a hard one. Let's just leave the bonus aside and go for the answer.

We are counting all models, new and old, right?
I know for a fact that we have:

1. Black
2. Blue
3. Red
4. Grey
5. Pink

Also, I remember a thread where someone posted two colors you don't usually see for a Squirt. I am positive one was green. Could the other one have been the KF4's solar yellow? It's been a long time, and I have no idea how to find the thread.
So assuming those are correct, we are up to seven.  :think:

Does the new Squirt PS4 come in Burgundy? :shrug:
Title: Re: The Great Multitool.org Trivia Thread
Post by: ReamerPunch on March 14, 2019, 10:17:42 AM
Assuming they had them handy, they probably had Squirts in the old Juice colors.

1. Black
2. Blue
3. Red
4. Grey
5. Pink
6. Yellow
7. Purple
8. Orange

Correct !!!!  we have a winner - your turn now  :D    :woohoo:

There were two different blues (but very close to each other), and yes, the later PS4s also came in Burgundy, but I still classed that as a Red for the purposes of this trivia quiz.

I have never seen a green Squirt (not even a photo), but LM certainly had the ability to make them if they had wanted to, as they definitely did make some Green Juices ( I have one).  Other colours they could have made if they chose to were Green Camo, Brown Camo, Silver, Light Grey, Dark Grey (almost Black), and Translucent ! (see through) Yellow (only 1 of these known, possibly part of a salesman's kit).

I don't recall ever seeing photos of a BO Juice, but LM could have made one if they wanted to.

Tell us more (please ?)

I can't remember ever seeing a factory made Squirt or Juice with white scales (not saying they didn't, all sorts of finishes are possible on the scales)

Is that a genuine Juice as made by the LM factory ? 
I can't see the usual LM USA/Tool cast into the plier head.

I know that some TV shows and Film makers have modified some MTs in various ways for their shows, but they aren't a genuine factory article.

Also some manufacturer in China was making some mini & maxi Juice-a-likes (many with Protocol branding on the scales, and the usual "Stainless CR2" markings on the pliers)

An easy one this time. :P

How many Leatherman multi-tools have been released where scissors were the main tool?

Micra, Style CS, Squirt S4, Raptor? Which means four.

The Snap On Tools version?  On another note, that $153 price tag (versus a $40 MP600 Basic) is why I do not own one. Even used, they are expensive.

Boker's Canoe Kayak knife, designed by my good buddy Abe Elias of Diving Sparrow Knifeworks.  :D

Yes, I know it's not a folding knife, but it's always worth dropping a plug here and there to help out a buddy!

Nope, not it.

Also the scissors wasn't a hint, that's a completely separate question.
