Delemont S557
on: September 11, 2024, 02:21:37 AM
First of all, I want to thank one of the members here for their amazing level of generosity. SteveP found out I was interested in a S557 when I mentioned to “let me know if you ever wanted to trade it” in a thread, and sent his to me completely free of charge. Refused offers to negotiate a trade/purchase and just straight up sent it to me. Thanks so much again SteveP! I am touched by your generosity to someone whom you have never met outside of this forum.

The S557 is a neat tool in that it has a lot of the common Wenger style tools (scissors, pliers, wrench, pressure locking phillips, pressure locking flathead, locking blade) all wrapped up in a nice, relatively easy to carry package. It is a great representation of what the 85mm Delemont line has to offer. SteveP made a couple of cool mods to this one in particular. He burned a hole in the scales for the pin, and he sharpened the inside of the can opener.

I plan on putting this through its paces at some point and will report back here with how it goes! Maybe I will even do a 30 day challenge with it soon.

Let’s see your 557s as well and hear your thoughts about them!

A great tool loadout, especially with the locking screwdrivers. Congratulations, and  :hatsoff: to SteveP!

   Wowsers!  Santy Claus came early this year.  I've never seen this sort of sharing on any other site.  I think that is why the Surprise Box works so well.  Best wishes.  G
