I am a Quality Engineer for an automobile seating systems MFG.


(Image removed from quote.)

I don't know if you're responsible for them or not but the Chevy Tahoe seats are the best ev4R!  It is the only vehicle where I can drive for back to back 600-800 mile days with absolutely no butt or back fatigue.  Really.  The best seats-especially the leather heated ones.  (I think their the same as the ones in my Chevy Silverado too  :think:)

The seats are my only complaint about Hondas--not enough back support for long drives--I have to bring a towel to make a lumbar roll.




Well unfortunately Honda is my business.....they are built for endurance and longevity. Comfort is there but for smaller people unfortunately. I am responsible for the 4Door accord and 2 door accord business.

We have an Element and an older Accord.  Great vehicles, but I'd like better lumbar support on long trips  :oops:

My company builds the Element!!!! we are the only ones in the world that produces them....may I ask what year Element and Accord?

I love the seats on 08 Honda Fit, but it could just be because I'm used to them.

Ive had the pleasure of watching them built from the ground up...very cool process. There is a lot going on with them before production even begins. Matter of fact I am heading to our testing facility tomorrow to test a couple seats

It's a 2005.  It's the BEST vehicle we've ever owned (Element).  The AWD is unbelieveably good.  I've driven it down icy forest roads onto frozen lakes for ice climbing.  The interior ROCKS--so easy to clean.  My daughter has it now out in CO and uses it for climbing/camping.  We're gonna buy another (although I was sad to see that the sunroof is gone).  Any chance of putting a little diesel in there?   :D

The Accord is a 98 with 170,000 miles on it.  We bought it used to teach the kids to drive, but it's so good, we just can't sell it...

I'm a self employed handy type guy . I have an extensive background in the electrical trades , and a lot of time in the electronic side of the security industry , Having been involved in a number of rennovations , I have aquired some plumbing skills ( dealing with highly distressed terra cotta and cast iron crap ) . The uniform of the day is whatever I say it is , and I carry whatever I feel is worth the weight penalty . Nobody pays the slightest bit of attention to my multi's and SAK's . I have done quite a bit of work in school boards , who given the nature of my duties don't seem at all concerned about what I carry , then again , I don't make a production of it either .

My multi of choice is either the Swisstool RS , or the Spirit ( either X or regular ) . With SAK's I'm all over the map , mostly a Farmer or Electrician Plus . Of late I have been carrying a GAK and a new Soldier quite a bit , these have tended to supplant my tactical stuff .

That shoe is indeed terrifying.  The mere thought of it make me weep tears of woe.  Look ---> :cry: :cry:

But does it do anything other than destroy evil and protect the foot from the harsh ground?  Two functions is a poor multi.  Is there a BO variety?

I don't really know if you can do the whole process on leather...

But it does serve as a rather inefficient hammer at times! And more! Emergency rations in desperate times I suppose, though I'd need to get it cleaned and sterilized before hand...

work as a utility operator at an animal feed plant. No real set shift, just fill in as needed. I mainly carry my zilla tool, utility knife(cut open alot of ingredient bags), and a maglite with me. I was carrying a surefire 8nx a few years ago, but I lost it and they're not cheap to replace. The company had a big meeting a few months back to introduce us to our automatic retracting utility knives. Apparently someone got a paper cut somewhere with  a regular utility knife and now they're worried about something horrible happening. Everbody hates the new utility knives, even the supervisors.They're junk. They posted a notice about not using pocket knives, but I tell them its a multitool and all is well. Heck, even the supervisors still carry their pocket knives.

I'm a diesel mechanic at a bus dealership. I carry my Vic Swisstool on my belt and wouldn't be caught DEAD without it. It's saved me from running back to my toolbox more times than I can even begin to count (just not enough fingers to count them on).

At the moment I`m a assistant stork operator. Boring inside factory type work. But it pays the bills. I have carried alot of different tools. But most of the time it is a Super Tool ( original, 200, 300 ),  Core or a Power Lock.
What? Enablers! Are you serrrrious? Where? I dont see any.

See, that's what I'm talkin about.

I took the test to become a maininence engineer, but the economy is so bad that I'll probably have to take it again.

I scored pretty dang good too.

I'm a Children and Youth worker for a church, I have a Swisschamp and at least one multitool in the office, i get to have what i want in there really as it's away from the kids. Got a Rambler on my keys and some sort of multitool in my bag, have to be careful what i carry into schools when I go into them though. Do a lot of technical stuff for the church as well so having a multitool within grabbing distance is very handy. Never been told off for having any of it so i'm going to carry on until some one does :D

When I am doing wiring, its easier to use wire strippers, crimpers, cutters and real screwdrivers rather than use a multitool at all.

When I was talked to, I was in a position where I just needed a screwdriver quick, and it was about 5 minutes to get one and come back because we are on boats off of a pier and tools are in the shop. Made sense to me, but apparently its the image I present, so apparently, its better to waste the time on the clock to go and get real tools.

I have the similar opinion with Getpower.
i am a power station operator. i trend to use a multitool rather than the REAL tool when i just need a screwdriver or spanner.
but its better to get the real tool when i am working with others...
I carry LM Wave or BO Powerlock in my pockey.
