Greetinggs from Michigan
on: April 12, 2011, 08:47:25 PM
My EDC needed updating so I was doing some research when I tripped across Multitool.org.  These forums have been a little addictive for me so, after lurking around I set up an account and will try and make some useful contributions.
I have carried a multitool in my left front pocket for about 21 years or more.  The order:


SOG Micro Toolclip about 1990 to 2002, lost it to the TSA

Leatherman Juice S2  2002 - 2006

Leatherman Juice CS4 2006 - Present

Here is are the tool thats I currently own



The lanyard on the CS4 was added recently to see if I liked it.  Turns out that I didn't realize how  often I use it.  Clipping and unclipping is a pain, so I am going to try a Tec P-7 Suspension Clip.

The PS4 was added to my arsenal so that I have something compact to carry when wearing a bathing suit.

I picked up the Micra with the intention of doing the key mod on it, but one of my keys has a chip, so that wont be practical.

Thanks to everyone here for your posts.  They are informative and humorous.

She is a yooper anomaly.  Being a vegetarian, she does not like pasties, but here sister likes them and she got me hooked on them. 

After living below the bridge among trolls for so long my wife has lost most of her yooper traits, but thankfully she retained one.  She likes beer.
