Regret buying SAK, should have stayed with Leatherman
on: July 05, 2013, 06:31:58 PM
Recently bought a Midnight Manager for my wife and a Spartian for myself.  Wish I hadn't because now I've got a Wenger Microlight Pocket Tool Chest coming (today hopefully) and a mental list of all the Swiss goodies I want to buy (Handyman, One Handed Trekker NS, Cybertool, etc).

You can see what a problem this is for me because I love my Leatherman Skeletool, Style PS, Supertool 300, and Micra and I still need a Leatherman Juice CS4, Squirt PS4 (blue to match the Juice), a Wave or a Charge, and who knows what else in the coming years.

Heh, I think this may be on the correct forum for you!

The Leatherman crunch.  One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass consumption. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

If you want to get an idea of how deep the rabbit hole goes...  go to the forum index page and search "sakaholic".

you will be surprised/horrified at what a common term it is round these parts.   :whistle:

Oddly enough, this is the combo that got me started carrying a combo of MTs/SAKs, and I haven't looked back since ;)

Welcome to the forum, rberlin, and good luck acquiring all the MTs/SAKs you are looking for :salute:  Oh, and as others have already warned you, we will help you find/get what you are looking for, so you've come to the right place, but your wallet may not like you ;)

there was a time in this poor asian boy's life that he shunned the swiss army knife in favor of the almighty multi tool, then he ended up realizing they are both indispensible tools that compliment each other like like hot water and coffee beans... what am I saying? hell I dunno...I meant to say WELCOME TO MTO
Cheers,
