Collection Photos 2016.

[Chako]

Seeing that the new year is just around the corner, I thought it was high time I posted another peek at my collection. Please join me on a drawer by drawer tour of the majority of my collection. I have 3 units full of stuff.

Top of the first unit. A catch all for larger packaged items, mixed in with smaller items.


3 smaller drawers. The left is my Buck Tool collection drawer. The middle is a deeper drawer with multi-tools in their sheaths. The right drawer contains most of my Schrade items along with some other tools.


This little drawer contains most of my generic Chinese shaped multi-tools.


A drawer for some of those generic pocket sized multi-tools.


This drawer holds most of my locking plyers multi-tools along with a few CRKT items.


In this drawer, most of my Swiss+Tech items along with a few other tools.


Here resides most of the SOG collection.


This drawer is dedicated to those wacky Chinese multi-tools.

Two drawers here. The left contains the Bear & Son collection. The right drawer contains a hodge podge of multi-tools and MT.O related memorabilia.

Is that a Topeak Bike tool (Alien XS???) for MacGyver at the bottom right ... with the wrong color logo AND McGuyver strangely spelled?

[Etherealicer]

btw, AWESOME collection

[Chako]

Not exactly. That is Topeak's entry into a survival focused multi-tool as opposed to their more traditional bike tools. There were a few different versions. Another version is the one just above the boxed example that you can only view edge wise (right of the red butterfly multi-tool). Another boxed but different McGuyver is found just left of the one visible...but with other tools stored on top of the packaging (You can see the still packaged example just south of the yellow DeWALT tool).

EDIT: Thanks.

Is one of them unboxed, so you could take some close ups? I'm a massive Topeak fan, never heard of those

[Chako]

I can take photos of those for you hopefully by tomorrow.

[Ron Who]

Wow. By comparison, my collection isn't.
I'd love to see a few pictures of the Wenger United Woods Box contents.

Chako, I always enjoy taking a pictorial tour through through your wonderful collection, so a big THANK YOU !!

But, (and you knew this was coming, didn't you ?) it has aroused my curiosity about the tool in the bottom left hand corner of "The Multitasker collection drawer" - can you please tell me more about it when you get a chance (you seem to be already snowed under with requests for more info and pics on other drawers, so I'm happy to wait my turn).

[glenfiddich1983]

Wow, impressive!

[Poncho65]

  Great pics as always of a very large collection 

Thank you Sir

[wowaboro]

Chako, this is really great collection  , but your smallest photos sucks!!! And photobucket sucks too!!!
Small size pictures like yours was in early 2000's or before.
Now is end of 2016!!!
We want to see normal size photos where is visible all small details.

Do you mean this tool in the Multitasker drawer?



Not much to know other than it is a generic tool that came from the owner of Multitasker.  In fact, all the tools found in that drawer came from the same source. I can only imagine these were tools bought to either examine, or get some ideas for the main product somehow. Many of these came with little stickers with a number on them.

Or are you talking about this tool...



What...wowaboro...you don't like 800x600 photos?

Here is the inside of the United Woods Wenger set.

[Smashie]

Have you added the Sheffield 1282 to your box cutter collection yet?

[Chako]

Can't say that I have Smashie. I did buy a few more that haven't been added to the drawer collection yet.

Here you go Etherealicer.

These tools I believe have all been discontinued.

I only have half of the original McGuyver tool. I am missing the Allen wrench set half of this tool.









This is the Topeak McGuyver XT.





This is the Topeak McGuyver XS.





The only difference as far as I can tell between the XT and XS are handle materials. Bot the XT and XS are smaller than the original McGuyver tool. Hope that helps. 

[Chako]

A test photo...



That was saved in native resolution...Photobucket does restrict image size.

[Ron Who]

Wow again!

Thanks, that's much better, this is what I meant 
Please, repost other photos, at least Leatherman's drawers

That's the one, thank you.  I thought it looked a bit like a Coleman Pro-Lock copy or something, and it was an "or something".     

[ColoSwiss]

Fun as always!   

[Etherealicer]

Thanks for the Topeak glamour shots... those look interesting, I will have to use some google fu to investigate more.

[Chako]

 

[powernoodle]

Dang.  I never tire of looking at that stuff, Chako.   

[Denny45acp]

Wow, how do you keep all of them sharp?

I have in the past, tried out a great many tools, but I eventually figured out what my preferences ran to. Hence most of those aren't used all that much. If I plan on using something, I tend to get a second user and leave one in the collection in as good a shape as I can.
