Explorer minus hook?

[Lynn LeFey]

So, a few minutes ago, someone knocked on my door. It was the UPS truck driver.

A little package was sitting at my doorstep. And in it? My old Explorer, with a new phillips driver, new scales, lanyard ring, toothpick and tweezers.

I am, of course, very happy to have it back, with full functionality. The tool still shows a lot of miles, with dings and scratches on most of the tools, but I think that just gives it character.

I would like to say that while it took some time, I am pleased with Victorinox's dedication to their tools. This is the kind of thing that goes a long way toward cementing lifelong loyalty. But then, I suppose most folks reading this are already life-long devotees.

Lynn, that's definitely a keeper.  The fact it's got a pre-2005 mag-glass on it alone is worth it.  If it were me, I'd be making some serious modding plans for that baby...

Is the new Philips driver OK?

I'm happy to report that it works flawlessly.

I'd love to have even a newer Explorer...   I want to mod one to have a pliers layer added to it.    I think an Explorer with a saw layer would be a pretty popular model too.

Glad to see its back in tip top shape

And... out the door. Heinz will be its new owner in 3 to 5 business days.
