I only have a handful of the Western Forge-made Craftsman 4-in-1 keychain screwdrivers--two I bought at Sears in 2012-ish, plus one I found on a long-disused set of keys and put back into use.

People want stupid money for something  that was a buck at Sears. The current ones in sets are junk, and I liked the Taiwanese Westward (Grainger) ones but never bought them.

The dog's head version was included in many Husky screwdriver sets, and was also Western Forge produced.

Got five of them for $12 shipped on eBay--never used, and at a price that works out to less what they would've been from Grainger/Zoro.

Seller says they're all US-made. Husky/Home Depot still has an imported version in many sets.

As a replacement to a pair of Dry-Shod clogs that wore out quick (and were expensive--feed store wasn't cheap on something worse than Muck/Dunlop), I decided to get a pair of Profi-Birki from Birkenstock.

Around the farm, I normally wear Dunlop Purofort Plus Full Safety (steel toe and shank) boots--as of late, they've also been rain/mud shoes and I've been wearing them for running errands. But, they're heavy, and fighting with my pants legs and the ankles is often a headache. For gardening, basement work, mowing the yard, and day-to-day wear I prefer clogs. Crocs are OK, but I hate that they're open toe. And they're overpriced for the COO--thus I buy store-brand knockoffs. They're uncomfortable, flimsy, and slippery.

I've heard Birkenstock shoes were great for people with foot/ankle problems, and these are made in Germany. Closed toe and closed back are my requirements for all shoes.  Hopefully, I get more than six months out of these.

I learned they just  came out with a 2.0 version (the originals had been in my cart for some time)--but the difference is largely cosmetic (though the tread may be a little different)

Sadly, my loopgear is likely not going to arrive.

They're now ignoring my emails.

It was enroute, was close to my house (few cities) then stopped updating.  We exchanged several emails, then stopped getting replies.
Do I call my bank and try to get my money back?  Never done this before.

I know its sounds whyrd as i got me a few days ago the Minichamp Alox to go aside one of my Normal SAK, but as i carry now the Cybertool for and have therefore anyway the Blade on the Roxon Flex Multitool Plier, i did decide that i will now change it again: why would i carry 2 Multitools, when i can have anything in one Swisstool Spirit X Plus and i get also an Ratschett?

So i bough this and the Pocketclip that will fit there as well .. , even if its means i have to put the Minichamp Alox again to my Collection as i would need the Minichamp whit the Scale Tools again ..

So my Carry stuff will be this: The Swisstool whit the Clip to my Pants, the Bitset from the Swisstool in my EDC Pouch (if its fits), and the Minichamp on my Keyring..
The Roxon where a good idea, but not that good as an Swisschamp ..

Seems like DHL got some issues today, maybe because of Strike "Worker Demonstrations", i will still check the Status, but might be i will have to wait a bit ..
in Best Case its just some issue whit the Tracking, and i can pickup my Swisstool in 1:30 Hours on the Pakstation Trawer, when im on my Way Home, in middle Best Case it might get deliefered there this Evening and i have to pick it up tomorrow Morning (then i can Screw On the Clip at Work) , and in worst Case i have to wait for tommorow evening..

Its not that urgent until then i can also stay whit the Roxon Flex if i would ever need an Multitool the next 2 days ..

Preeordered an Retroid Pocket Flip2 Retro Handheld, Android Based, Snapdragon SD865, Ice Blue, fast enough for PS2 Emulation in multiple times resolution, but thanks to Clamshell it should be a nice EDC Gaming Handheld shipping should beginn Mid April, and then about 11 Days Shipping Time via 4PX

Ordered also a few more bits for my EDC Stuff:
- Another Iphone 16 Protection Case but this time whit Screen Protector, not that i had issues whit my old one, but its maybe safer this way ..
- 2 pairs of an new DIN A7 Notebook, i did allready test to take Notes whit the Ipad Mini whit Apple Pencil, but sometimes its better on Paper
- an a bit bigger EDC Pouch which is hopefully long enough to fit the Victorinox Ratschett Bit Set,

Warranty work. Went in the basement and found a few Leathermans that needed work done ,and had put off for I know 4-5 years or more.

I am packing up my Surge (which I can't wait to get back) as the scissors were problematic due to a loose pivot, and I messed up the screw.

PST--had a bent  "backspring" under the file handle. I would likely have kept it for parts, but I already had a parts PST or two kicking about. Curious what I'll get back.

Four Leathermans(men?). I had sent my Wave in for repair for a busted flat driver which was my fault so I dealt with it for years, but more recently the pliers retention springs were giving up combined with stiff pliers pivot meant any time you tried to open the jaws the handles folded instead and I was going insane.

Skeletool also went in for cracked backspring and both should be on the way back.

Won an eBay auction for a lot of 2 Blasts. I have a Fuse and have always enjoyed it, but its a funky Camo edition so Ive hesitated to carry and use it, so I wanted to try the bigger Zytel brother.

Pretty excited for a revamped rotation, enjoy carrying and using different stuff even if they may not be the "best"

Chako's review of the knockoff Leatherman Raptors pretty much proved that they were junk compared to the real deal--but I was curious about how the form factor would carry more than anything else--and I wanted a beater version for when I finally got the real deal.

Thus, I decided to try it for once .

Ordered a charge plus last night, should be here Tuesday. And hope to buy a tti plus next month while they are still available as the wave alpha does not do it for me.

There was a guy on this forum who sold parts, I bought a few bits off him in the past. Is he still on the forum?
My trouble is i never show initiative, but that's only because no one has told me to.

Cody6268, have you considered Keen Sandals?  Closed toe, open fabric sides, good traction.  I walk a lot and wear them most of the time when it is over 10 C and they last pretty well.  Good for long distance bike touring also .  Easier to wash feet than socks.  I carried a full backpack about 20 km out of the mountains in Keens when the bottoms fell off my real boots mid-trip.  They don't keep ticks out, though.  Pretty much the only name brand thing I ever buy, except knives of course.
