Got an mpt for $20
on: February 03, 2008, 03:14:35 AM
Just got back from my trip and I'm glad to say that I didn't come back empty handed.
I was in a gunstore and was looking in the used stuff bin. I had just glanced at some junky multitool, when I noticed a schrade tough tool sheath. When I opened it up I was surprised to see what looked like a brand new gerber mpt with a $20 sticker on it. Needless to say I bought it on the spot. I have to say that this is a neat tool although it looks like the pst is still better. The only weird thing I noted on mine was that the knife blade doesn't stay open too well. It looks like the little spring tab is a little bent(I think it came from the factory that way because the blade looks new). Do you think I could remove the tools and bend the tab so it works well?

Not everyone, I haven't bought one...yet! :D

Hopefully the one I'm watching will stay low enough for me.
I'm back!!

I just get lucky on these deals on occasion. One other thing I discovered is that it is real hard to reassemble the mpt. I took it apart to bend the spring but after getting it back together(and marring the screw head) I found out that I got nothing accomplished so I'm just going to call it quits before I break something. Man, taking this aprt and reasembling this makes taking apart the powerlock seem incredibly easy.
