Electrician

[detron]

I love the look of the electrician,  and once I am back to where I can buy something, I might get one.
I love the orange Alox, but I imagine I will settle for Silver.

I don't mod myself, but hope to start soon. I would send them with other parts to whoever does the mod for me. I do use them for tweezers quite often or pulling skin from the corners of my finger where the nail meets. I also use them for any small grabbing task I might need. I use them to bend paperclips into small tools of whatever shape I need for the task. I use them for placing/holding small screws. Pulling knots out or through. Pulling hairs. Pulling staples. Flattening staples on what's called a 2x2 in which you store collectible coins. The list goes on and on. I really enjoy using them and appreciate the precision. I almost never use them on nuts or bolts. I actually can't remember one instance of using them on a nut or bolt.



Anyways.... back on topic,

Electricians ROCK!!!!

they actually make a stapler for 2x2s that do not leave a rounded back,  I think they just call it a flat stapler.  it is a neat thing.  I know I spent half of my time coin collecting flattening staples.

But yes, back on topic,  my bad

I have seen those. They're pretty cool and useful. I honestly don't mind flattening the staples but it does become a pain if you doing a lot of coins. They also have 2x2's that just stick to themselves so you don't have to staple anything.

Im overdue for this alox model. As an electrician by trade I feel as if Im commiting a crime not owning one. Is the Plus model still pretty easy to get ahold of?

Ah, bending paperclips.  I could play around with that in my office during work...or I could work I suppose   Yeah, I don't see that they would be that handy for actual normal plier type work.  Perhaps I should just use my imagination more and I may find them more useful

Yes Ben, you are committing a crime, and you should be ashamed .  Get one ASAP   I'm not sure about the availability of the Plus model though, but maybe on Ebay?

Now, a standard silver alox electrician goes for what? 30 usd? How much would an orange alox one go for?

[detron]

no idea, but I know I can find the silver ones easily

[captain spaulding]

Yes you can get a Silver alox Electrician for around $30. Amazon has them for $26.67 right now.

Honestly I do not know how much a Orange Electrician would be or if you could even find one readily. I mean they are around, but to my best knowledge they do not currently make Orange Electricians. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I actually hope I am because I really wan't one. 

[AlephZero]

You and me both, cap'n

Vic need to make some more solo elec's or apprentices. Been hunting for a while for a one layer elec. (Turning into a solo collecter)

On the subject of electricians. I have two modern ones. The sheeps foot blade is really hard to deploy and put away on both. This is at the point where I now prefer to get the main blade out. Does anyone else have this problem? Have I just got faulty springs?

All the blades on my Electrician have a really good snap except for the little Electrician blade which is a bit 'Meh I can't be bothered to snap'

but its not hard to open or close, I don't know if this helps 

Theres some very nice pictures in this thread

Some more electricians with advertising..

[AlephZero]

Not so much advertising... those are for swiss railways

[Styerman]

[AlephZero]

I sliced my thumb with my farmer lol 

Nice moomin band aid tho

[Jetbo]

Damn you guys, I'm in a group of enablers... 


Anyways, as my next SAK will be the SwissChamp, I guess the next one after that will be the Electrician 

Yes, yes you are   I love the utility blade as well, and here is my custom, the Mechaneer.

Wow, substitute scissors for the pliers and that would be my dream 93mm custom sak. I even like the color

I have a horrible notion I'm going to have to have me an Electrician

That's just made it worse

 

Nice pictures Marius

Very  Marius! 

 

[rmagralha]

I have these....

[captain spaulding]

Great looking knives. I'm jealous of all of you. The Electrician's Mate is just  .

[detron]

it sucks seeing something you want for functionality, and then realizing it is a limited run of 50!!!   

oh well, I guess that is not going to happen now is it.  I so wanted that electricians mate.   

[captain spaulding]

That's what MODS are for. Save some money and get one made.

+1 - Amen to that.  I highly recommend getting a custom SAK
