I did't know that was a composite picture WD. I thought you just got it from the internet and posted it as is.

well maybe if I went to "those" sites I could find one of Boss Ben but
that is just a made one

But you saw them the other day Mike. 

Hybrid has finally arrived!    First thoughts and pics to follow.

[WhichDawg]

whoo hoo! I really think it's a nice lookin tool. can't wait for your reviews

[Benner]

Finally got round to taking those pics of the Hybrid.  I have included one of the huge box  and also a few next to the Swisstool as a comparison.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

It's not quite as huge as I thought it would be

[Benner]

It is a big tool, but it feels pretty comfortable to hold, especially with those rubber grips.  It folds up pretty small though so it can be pocket carried if need be. 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

How do the individual tool's seem mate?

Pretty good actually.    The knife, phillips and weed remover are quite thick so therefore feel very strong. 

Just in case people have missed it, there is a ruler (inches only) on the weed remover.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Is that for testing how long you can go between cutting the grass

How thick is the main blade then, about the thickness of you SI

[Benner]

There's not a lot in it. 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

There's not a lot in it. 

Thats pretty stout then , I guess they figured it was going to be used pretty hard and so put a very robust blade in there

I hope to buy a genius this week.

Great photo's Ben, I have no need for any of the pruner tools but they do look very well done.

[J-sews]

I hope to buy a genius this week.

The Genus is a great tool Scrappy. You'll like it.


So Ben, have you done any pruning with the Hybrid yet?

Sadly, no.    The weather here has been a little up and down and it has actually snowed most of today so I have been stuck in.    I have tried them on the odd bit of card etc and they cut pretty well.   I am looking forward to testing them on the real thing.

Patience lad, spring will come eventually. (so I've heard) 

Good to see you received the upgraded pivot bolt arrangement. I recall JoeBW saying he had a bit of trouble with the original style.

That it will, but knowing good old England it will still be too bloody wet out.

For those who don't know the UK too well, it was sunny and hot last thur, fri and sat, and cold and snowy sunday and everything in between today

It does make life more interesting and varied though.

I honestly don't mind bad weather (except high winds as they make it bloody hard to cycle) it's heat I can't stand

I'll drink to that

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Glad I'm not the only one , I think the heat in this country is especially bad because of the humidity, and the changable nature of our weather doesn't give you much oppertunity to adapt

[Benner]

I don't do heat either.    Cold is fine but not hot.  Especially if you have to work in it.

Although Heat does have a positive impact on womens clothing I find
