Hello from Sheffield, England

Hi my name is Mark. I first became aware of multi tools and more particular LM when working as stage crew for amature productions as a kid. The tools over here were and still are very expencive and so lusted after one from afar. One Christmas my father in law sent me an original wave as a present (the benefits of marrying an american). This opened the flood gates and I now have a collection of 20+ LM. The wife thinks this is a little obsessive, however I guess in this forum I will find people who dont agree with her.

It is hard to say which tool I carry the most. It really depends on what I am doing that day. Also owing to the knife laws of this country what excuse I can find for having a locking blade on me that day.

My dedication to LM does cause some family problems as my farther was (now retired) a tool grinder here in sheffield and sees this as a betrayal. Although he admits the PST I gave him does come in handy.

Look forward to discussions with other like minded people to come.

Mark

Well you've got me outnumbered on the LM front, but you can tell your good wife that twenty or so is a mere drop in the ocean compared to some of the collections around here. Welcome to the forum Mark.

Welcome mate, by the sounds of it you've found the right place.

Pictures of tools are mandatory (and no 'witty' comments about pictures of 'tools'... OK, you can make some witty comments

)

Welcome to the forum matey.

Welcome!

Twenty LM's sounds like a very good start to me.

Of course, it's all just bravado without picts.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to tracking down the missing sections with your help. Davek think it will have to be a new wave or one of the charges I am missing. Note to self, stop getting drunk and giving parts of the collection away. while this is converting others to the temple of LM it is costing you money.
