Tool Talk => Cheap and Cheerful (or otherwise!) => Topic started by: Lynn LeFey on February 19, 2018, 09:46:44 PM

This is the culmination to my $10 MT Challenge, main thread here...
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,75705.0.html
I just have a big pile of MTs sitting here... and ... I just don't know what to DO with them. I mean, I only got the two hands! How many tools do I NEED? :D
And, since I was a bit under budget getting these tools, how about I put the rest of the money toward shipping?
So, here's the deal. YOU get to pick the tool you want, from four of the best I found for the $10 Challenge.
And you know what? You can pick a SECOND tool as well, some from the $10 Challenge, some from the $5 Challenge.
So, you can get one from the Left collumn (The MP400, the PST, The Huntsman, or the Explorer), and one from the Right collumn (Tourist, Micra, EVO 10, or IDL T5)
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4614/39655282594_b69699f9a6_z.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/23qcFWS)
Just make sure you've gone over to the thread with the poll to tell me which of the finalists you think should win...
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,75975.0.html
Then come back here, and post your number (01 for instance) a dash, and your name. (Like '01 - Lynn LeFey') Except I'm not entering. That would be silly. And if you want to keep the list of entries nice and neat by copying all that came before you before you post yourself to the list, that would be great.
And finally, in your post, let me know which two tools you'd like.
I will keep this giveaway open until FEB 22, and do the drawing on the evening, let's say about 10PM central time. Winner will be determined by me rolling my D&D dice. That's just how I... roll. 8) :facepalm:

Great GAW! :like:
I won’t participate as shipping to Europe will be quite the money drain, and for a $10 tool at that. :rofl:

Shipping to Europe is like $20. I just checked. And it's factored in the budget.
C'mon man... think of all the tool pabloing you could do to $10 tools and not even feel bad.
:pok:
:D
-
I love how Pabloing became a word here :dd:
-
I have expressed my opinion already. Very thoughtful of you Lynn. :tu:
I have all four $10 finalists, so I will not take part in this. Good luck to those who participate. :climber: :multi:
-
I... would like to try and Pablo the IDL T5 actually....:dd:
Gah! :facepalm: :rofl:
-
You know what? Believe it or not I've never had a Micra... So I'm in... but only if you let me cover the postage if I should win.
1 - Pabs (T5)
2 - Fuzzy (Micra)
Thanks Lynn! :salute:

Nah. Headache is when I walk around for 40 minutes trying to figure out where I set down tool x, or my phone, while doing testing.
Then realize it's in my back pocket. Because I never put anything in my pockets. Except I did. Because I'm stupid. :D

Thanks for the GAW and a great thread. Really enjoyed following your testing

While I appreciate this, remember, this is all funded by MT.O
And MAN is it fun to spend someone else's money! :rofl:
And speaking of which, remember that your donations to the site make crazy stuff like this possible. Or maybe go check out the MT.O store for some great stuff. (here ends shameless plug) :D

Quick question, though...which D & D die will you use if there are more than 20 entries?
-
Quick question, though...which D & D die will you use if there are more than 20 entries?
WELLL... now that you asked.
up to 23, I could use 2d12 (numbers ranging from 2 to 24)
up to 28, I could use 3d10 (numbers ranging from 3 to 30)
And unless we get a few more entrants, I'll have to pad out the encounter table...
16 - 1d6 orcs
17 - Lost traveller
18 - Evil shapeshifter posing as lost traveler
19 - 3d8 drunk satyrs
20 - Demogorgon
You know, something like that. :D
-
so we can all hope that you won't hit that 20
now for the only question that matters - where to start when wanting to get into D&D?

Congratulations AlanK!
Thank you Lynn for these practical reviews and write ups! Nice $10 and $5 write ups. I know that took a lot of time, but it really can show us the longevity and durability of a knife or tool compared to a review of a new one. Everything usually works nice when new. It's the 20 year old stuff that tells us if a tool is worth its salt.
Thank you to MTO and Grant for funding this project!

Holy smurf!!!! It's 4 in the morning and I've been up all night because of my insomnia. I just thought to check my e-mail one more time before trying to go to bed again and I had a notification from MTO. :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
Lynn's telling me I won stuff! Now I'm too excited to go to sleep. :twak: No worries. I've got nothing important to do before noon, so I should be able to get a couple of hours of sleep anyway. Thanks Lynn for doing the reviews. I really enjoyed them. Thanks also to Lynn and Def and MTO for the GAW. Hope everyone has a great day!

Yay!
Those two should be a great combo, or even leaving the MP400 behind, that Tourist is a great super-pocketable little knife. Together, they should be amazing, as the only real issue I had with the MP400 was not having a great blade.
Glad you like them!
-
That Tourist should have come with a warning letter. It is so freakishly sharp I have slices now in both of my thumbs and on two fingers of my left hand. I never felt a thing, and none of them bled. I only noticed a stinging after the air hit the sub layers or when the flaps of skin caught on something. Lynn if you sharpened it you did a marvelous job of it. I guess the Vic steel took a much better edge than either of the demo knives. Lynn, I'd send you all of my knives to sharpen, but I couldn't afford that much postage. :hatsoff:

I guess the Vic steel took a much better edge than either of the demo knives. Lynn, I'd send you all of my knives to sharpen, but I couldn't afford that much postage. :hatsoff:
If it was the large blade, it was my sharpening job. If it was the small blade, that's how it came. The small blade was just short of shaving sharp when I got it.
Caution, my knives are sharp. :D
Also, welcome to the 'bleeding fingers' club. :rofl:
