I'm pretty much cured  well the s2 hasn't left my pocket since getting it months ago and the SOS pouch and champ live in my backpack and s4 on my keychain, its been a long journey but one I would end with my of wave if UK laws was different  but the s2 covers my urban needs and the champ feels the gap tool wise,the only time I really test mt's is while doing my extra job and that's ended for now,there's a few I would try but happy where I am at this point

Just when I think I'm cured, something NEW comes out that I just gotta have... But for now, I'm pretty well set also

I'm pretty well set too.  Now that I have the OG Wave, and a bonus of the original SuperTool as well, there's not much else I feel I need/want.  I'm all set with SAKs, with the exception of a couple tweaks that will require a modder.  That will likely be my treat from next year's tax refund  

As for MTs, I have the PST version I've been wanting (thanks to a very generous buddy member) and the OG Wave was the primary MT I had been wanting to get my hands on.  I think the only other one I was curious about was the Swisstool, and I almost got one, but ended up with the Wave and SuperTool instead, which was a much better score, imho, especially considering the new condition of both tools.  Not sure if I'll end up going for a Swisstool eventually, but knowing this place, I'll likely end up wanting one

What you really need is a Cybertool if you don't already have one

While pretty much everyone wishes they had a wider selection of bits available, they do offer the most commonly used ones. One thing the CT does have over any other tool is a slim extended bit driver for those recessed screws. I own the CT41 but would probably recommend the CT34 for those who feel the Swisschamp is maybe a little to big.

This is exactly where I'm stuck. Like the 34 but the extra tools of the 41 seem better but heavier.

It just comes down to how often you think you'll be using the file and/or saw...

Not very often as a leatherman is usually close by...

Thanks. Guess I'm on to the 34 then.

I'm feeling it again, third time since I joined. I might relapse during the anniversary giveaway frenzy, as usual, or when I receive my new Skinth and try to fill it up to the limit. Thankfully the Shield 2XL won't take what the CatchAll could, I was filling the later for almost 10 months. And when I did I decided to step down.
I am cursed in my life to try to be the always rational one. I thank you guys and the forum because I can do irrational things with no remorse in this crazy enviroment.   It's better than psychotherapy and it is even cheaper too (at least for me).

I received something shinny today, a Skeletool and a kobalt tool and I felt something in my heart.
The problem is I now have everything I ever wanted, tools to use and tools to look at, so I predict buying a few stuff from time to time to experience them but I don't really see anything replacing my Spirit or Swisschamp.

[ToolJoe]

  I have all the mt's/tools I need at the moment . I'll continue to lurk around here and post.

[ducttapetech]

I hardly ever buy any new MTs. The last knife I bought was an Opie  and that was months ago. But I like hanging around here. Nice group of people here.

There's a lot to be said for that!

Yes there is   Even though I'm approaching the point of not really wanting/needing anything else, that doesn't mean I'd hang around here less, or not at all.  You all can't get rid of me that easily

I'm sort of at the same point.  I'm actually going through what I have and trying to decide where to focus and what are tools that I picked up, but really don't fit with my collecting preferences anymore.

For example, I have a Juice Pro that's new, but I'm pretty much over the whole Juice series and should probably sell it on to someone who will appreciate it more. 

Lots of stuff like that. 

HOWEVER:  this is a really fun group of very nice people who have proclivities for gadgety things and that fits me perfectly.

It seems no matter how many I have, I soon see something I don't have and think "oh, how awesome is that!?"... :/

[Demel]

I believe I can now join this club. The only two tools I want now is a Spirit X and a Skeletool. Finding what works best is a good feeling. I may be "cured"

I am sorry to say this sir, but unfortanly there is no cure for your disease.

KK if your around  .  Hi friend I miss you.  I was at the flea market and passed on several MTs and SAKs.  In the year I last posted I would have snapped up anything I saw MT and SAK.  Its actually been a while since I've been tempted to buy any and every tool I see. 

I am still very much interested in MTs and SAKs but the drive to try every new one or new to me is not as strong.  I'm sure long ago I reached the point of my own nirvana.  My go to are much the same for work and off days.  My SAK go to choices are also much the same.  I did pick up a new interest however.  Having years of collecting now under my belt I am a little more critical of what I buy with my new interest.  I have been enamored with traditional folding knives for a little while now. 

As I was at the flea market yesterday I realized my eye now spots them much quicker than MT or SAKs.  I'm sure I've just replaced one addiction with another.  KK being an expert in that field I'm sure you could shed some light on that. 

I do hope you and your family are well.  I hope you are getting out to your beach home more and more.  I miss your posts and pictures. 

 

[gregozedobe]

I'm sure I've just replaced one addiction with another.

I think I might have transitioned myself.   

Lately I've actually been thinning my MT herd a little, and haven't bought any new-to-me MTs for quite a while now.  I expect that winding down process will continue for the foreseeable future

But looking around my garage I see that my car detailing tools, polishing pads, and lotions and potions etc have expanded exponentially (I suspect I don't really need all 6 different glass cleaners I had, but that didn't stop me from buying yet another one this week "just to try it out, it's different, it might be better in some way than the others" ).

Once a collector, always a collector (isn't that right, Chako ? )

[Chako]

Indeed.

There is no cure, nor do I pretend or desire its existence.
