Title: Coghlans Campers Tool
Post by: daverobson on July 30, 2017, 08:54:08 PM: Is anyone looking for a 14 function Campers Tool? :ahhh

"Great for camping / bushcraft etc"

Not sure what to expect for £8.99!

I've got a lot more respect for Campy the Camping Tool now. :multi: :salute:

I must try & remember to use the search option more often.

(Or SOG. Or Gerber. You get the idea. ;) )

But the gigantic dent after dropping campy on a hammer on the ground. :facepalm:

I was very surprised with the result of the Coghlan & Campy reviews but had every confidence in Vicky!

This must still rate as one of the best Knock Off reviews :ahhh
