I have an idea,,,,,

,,,,,and Travis will probably kill me due to it.  :twak: :twak: :twak:   Most of you know, and have(like me) the SOSAK carabiners.  How about a MULTITOOL.ORG carabiner?  Green with bare metal letteing?

The idea came about when I was carrying my LM skeletool on a green carabiner. :angel:

I have sent off an email to Travis telling him to look at this thread.  I'd put my affairs in order if I were you... :P

I've been sick the last few days and haven't been at the computer.

The carabiners are not a bad idea.  The only challenge is the minimum quantity.  Generally they require 250 pieces for laser engraving.  I'm not sure we are at a point where we can handle that larger minimum and the investment it represents.

I will keep my eyes open, in the event one of my suppliers has a better deal going.

I did a quick check and found sale pricing on a 3" carabiner with key strap and laser engraving.  Color options are blue, red or black.  The total cost to have 250 pieces printed and delivered to my address would run approximately $300.00.

Carabiners frequently go on sale this time of year.  I will keep an eye out and run numbers if something looks interesting.

not a bad idea.
Travis, are you in the promotional products industry?

Travis works at a local college during the day and does promo products in his spare time.

So far he's done hats, knives, carabiners and mugs for SOSAKOnline, and shirts for Multitool.org.

Thanks for chiming in, Def.

I do work in the promo industry as a part-timer.  The line blurs a little since the university where I work full time is one of my larger clients.  I've been at it for 4 years now and have learned a great deal.
