I'm curious. What about that... amphibious vehicle there if I may ask?

Day 20
I cut open some wild, native, Florida Everglades tomatoes so I can plant the seeds. These are tiny, but they don't get much bigger than that. They are very prolific and almost impossible to kill once they are established though.

They must be very tasty

The Mod Squad / Re: My SAK modification ideas

Welcome Cappo,

I am a big fan of SAKs but I have only ever made very basic modifications to mine so I doubt that I will have much to add that will be helpful to you.

I own a Rangergrip 78. When trying to decide which one I wanted to buy, I was considering one of the models with the pliers, but in the end I didn't go for them because I couldn't find one with a one hand opening PE blade that also had pliers. I think that the idea of putting Rangergrip sized pliers on a smaller sized tool seems daunting but if you think you can do it, I would be eager to see the results. (sounds cool)

I don't have any experience changing out the blades on a SAK style multi tool, so I cant really help there. I have been changing and modifying blades and other tools to a plier based multitool for a while now. I had a great deal of difficulty drilling through hardened knife steel. I smoked so many bits in the process that I was hesitant to invest in really expensive bits. In the end, I got the job done with a combination of glass cutting bits and masonry bits from harbor freight. I am sure others have more helpful advice.

Good luck.
