Yes 5 working days a weeks see's my Gerber Clutch (same color) as edc.  It's most
important function is the flathead which is used to unlock and lock the pins on the
3 public doors to the store.  Sometimes I'll whip out the nail file to trim and even
things up when time permits.

Anyone know where I can still get a Clutch on the cheap?  I've nothing against the Vice per se but I've handled one and would rather pick up a tool I hear good things about but have never actually had my hands on.

I've not seen the Clutch for sale in a while Gareth. I did see it in Cotswold's last Christmas with a Tempo gift pack, wish I had picked one up.  :ahhh

Just putting this out there as an idea:

Is there any interest in doing a Pass Arround?

To be honest mate, I've been somewhat scared off by horror stories about them so I steered clear, but it'd be nice to see first hand what they're like .... so count me in  :tu:

Well my Clutch (black) landed today and I have to say my first impressions are that I rather like it. :)  Overall it might not be good enough to replace my Squirt but it does have some good things going for it.   Pics to follow when I remember where I put my camera. :think:

Careful Gareth,they're a bit addictive,I have three not counting those given away,or those being passed arround!I agree they're not as good as a Squirt,but then they're about half the price too!

I've got about a dozen different 'keyring' sized MT's and SAKs now. :-[  The Clutch is just that bit bigger than the Squirt, which is no bad thing, though the finish is notably lower IMO.

I was at Lowes looking around and found some Gerber Clutches so I snagged one.

Interesting (cool) design idea in the closed image

Have an old battered vise i keep in my trouser pocket while at work.
And two, yes two bear grylls minitools, one i carry a lot and the other is a spare.
I think the bear mini tool is a cracking tool, it is basically a clutch that has had the useless (to me) file replaced with a very good serrated blade that i do use all the time.

Also both blades are almost the same size as the blades on the suspension despite the tool being half the size.

I almost never bought this tool because of the bear grylls endorsement (more of a ray mears man myself).
But i am so glad i did, if only leatherman made a juice with the the same tool selection .
If i could replace the cork screw with a serated blade on my juice C2 it would be the perfect tool.

I`ve been carrying and using the Clutch at work some and must say I do like the little tool.    :tu:    :)
