That's cute.... shame we can't bloody bid on it

Every day I hate ebay a little more.

I have contacted the seller he does these himself with the camo dip process. He responded that he dips 40 tools at a time and the cost would be $55 plus shipping for all 40. I ask him if he would be willing to do a couple tools only for me. No response yet.

This is the reason for my interest in BO Supertools and PST's.

Group Buy!!!!

I'd take a few at that price. C'mon someone, organise a group buy

Nikos · **Reply #5 on:** May 22, 2009, 05:30:09 PM

I wonder how well it fairs in the paint chipping department...

RaptorMan · **Reply #6 on:** May 22, 2009, 06:56:10 PM

Well thats what I was wondering myself. What tool is everyone interested in. The cost is just for having your tool dipped. Let me do some more checking with him and maybe we can organize something.

Nikos · **Reply #7 on:** May 22, 2009, 07:00:34 PM

Just to set this straight: any preparation of the tool prior to the dip (e.g. cleaning, deoiling, sanding, etc.) is up to the owner, right?

RaptorMan · **Reply #8 on:** May 22, 2009, 07:02:47 PM

Im assuming but let me get the facts from them first and I will have to find out the set guidlines and so on to be sure it will work out fine. I am thinking of buying this one to check the Quality and maybe send it around for others to see if they would be interested in it.

RaptorMan · **Reply #9 on:** May 22, 2009, 07:07:01 PM

OK I bid on it and I have the winning bid so far. If I win it I will snap some shots and if anyone is interested in the finish I can send it around.

Can you trust this guy with 40 tools? zzz

RaptorMan · **Reply #11 on:** May 22, 2009, 07:20:58 PM

Thats why I wanted to do a couple small runs with him and "check him" out first too see if he is legit.

J-sews · **Reply #12 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:56:23 PM

Interesting. The knurled screw-heads are camo too, suggesting that he does not disassemble the tools before dipping. So how does he keep from getting camo gunk all over the blades and scissors?

Zack · **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2009, 10:44:01 PM

Looks like he polishes it off, because you can see it in the nail nicks.

My thought exactly.

RaptorMan · **Reply #15 on:** May 23, 2009, 03:10:14 AM

He has offered to do a couple of mine in one of his runs. Once we discuss cost I will configure a tool and see what he has to offer. By the way I got outbid on the micra!!! I didnt get to it in time

Perhaps you should consider disassembling the tool first, and just sending him the handles?

MultiMat · **Reply #17 on:** May 23, 2009, 05:12:34 AM

I was wondering if you marked the fasteners position on the handles with the tools in. Pulled the tool apart removed the tools & then put the fasteners back into the handles - the tools, lining the fasteners up with the marking on the handles.So when you get the tool back you can reassemble the tool & the fasteners camo coating should line up with the handles camo.You would have to be very careful not to mark the handles or the coated fasteners .Would be a good idea to tape of the handles so the coating does not get inside the handles.Maybe ask the guy if masking tape or duct tape is better for the dipping process.

I have considered that already and installing the screws

If you guys would be interested I could maybe cook up a really good price for a certain tool and then ship him a bunch of them for him to dip and then he could send them out to the individual buyers. Not sure how that would work money collection wise but just thought I'd throw that out to you guys to mull over in case you're interested.

Who needs a Camo one when E leatherman has US Flag ones for less than you can get a regular one at hardware stores...

RaptorMan · **Reply #21 on:** May 26, 2009, 10:23:17 PM

Im choosing which tools to send him now and I will get a price and let you guys know what they look like when they come back. Im thinking PST and micra.

Just FYI, adding color finishes to your LM tools voids the warranty.

How do I know this? I sent LM an email regarding my BO XTi and they said just to leave it the way it is. If I did paint it, it would void the warranty..

How about other companies like SOG (Should be easier too because you can take it apart so only the handles get a paintjob)

Well total for a PST and a Micra to be camo dipped will be $10 including shipping so once he is ready to do a batch I will be shipping mine out to him

I did mention to him that I belong to a Multi tool site and expressed to him when I recieved the completed tools back I would be sending them out to a few people around the world for review and potential future business.
