Mr P in the house   :D




A little rust here and there but otherwise in unused condition. I removed the plier head to clean it up and may do the same to the tools although they are mostly clean after soaking in WD-40.

Love how compact this is and it fits in an OG Supertool leather sheath perfectly. Even self deploys when you slide it out of the sheath  :tu:

Mr. Pinchy got me the other day. Not in the usual spot though. My fingertip got pinched between the can opener and back spring when openning it up.

Got a nice little blood blister for my troubles.

   I like your photos very much cause the Mr. Pinchy looks much cool.
   Looks painful! o(;>△<)o
   I'll handle my MP carefully not to hurt myself. 



   As mentioned before, I am trying to classify Mr. Pinchies using the method
originally advocated by J-sews
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,2792.msg36032.html#msg36032

and developed by gregozedobe.
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,48158.msg928733.html#msg928733

   Dear gerleatherberman has named this work "Pincheology."
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,74830.msg1986225.html#msg1986225


   I found some new MP models to be classified. I will introduce them to you, and revise the chart. Before that, please see classification table in my previous post.
・About Pliers Classification, Appearance
・About Other Tool Component


   Now, time to Pincheology!



New items


・The V2.0 with A Parallel-Processed Can Opener Craw






   Almost all V2.0 have a slanting-processed can opener craw. But this MP has a parallel-processed can opener craw.
(Please tell me if there is more suited name of this processing method/shape of craw.)

   There is a MP(already listed) having same component except for the wide handles-gap.



   By the way, I have thought handles-gap had widened when pliers changed P-2 type to P-3. So, I think the above right model is an irregular model with P-2 pliers and wide handles-gap.
But looking closely, I think pliers seems slightly different between these MPs.



・The V2.1 with A Slanting-Processed Can Opener Craw




The patent on the serrated blade side is marked with a slightly large font.


   There is a MP(already listed) having same component except for the can opener craw.




・The BO V4.1 with P-6 Type Pliers




The M-3 type patent marking on the serrated blade side, The M-4 type on the drop point blade side.

   There is a SS MP(already listed) having exactly same component.




・The FISKARS Model with P-8n Type Pliers






   There is a FISKARS model with P-4 type pliers(already listed) having same component except for the utility blade/can opener.



Left → Right
 ・ A FISKARS model with P-4 pliers
 ・ A FISKARS model with P-8n pliers
 ・ A V5 needle-nose model with P-8n pliers
 ・ A V5 needle-nose model with P-8N pliers 


   There is another FISKARS model reported by m47mu74nt.
[HELP] Identification : Fiskars Pliers
   It is resemble the V5 blunt-nose model with a P-8B pliers. It have a utility blade instead of a can opener. 



・The V1.2 with Two Handle Cut-Outs, Thin Lanyard

   Despite Greg's report of this model, I doubted if it really existed.
   I'm sorry Greg, you are right!





   Let's compare another V1.2 model with one handle cut-out.

Upper ) V1.2 with one handle cut-out
Lower ) V1.2 with two handle cut-outs





Left  ) V1.2 with two handle cut-outs
Right ) V1.2 with one handle cut-out
The two handle cut-outs model have a thin lanyard with a spacer. Another all V1 model have a thick lanyard.



   And now I revise the chart.

Thank you hiraboo for your continuing contributions to MTo knowledge  :tu: :salute: :hatsoff:

I had no doubts about the existence of this particular early Mr Pinchy, as I have 7 examples of it.  :D  ( I have a fairly extensive collection of V1.x Mr Pinchies)

All have the "thinner" (but still fairly thick) lanyard loop, matched nail nicks, and the angled machining on the can opener.

I am unable to post photos of my MTs, but am happy to answer all reasonable questions  :tu:

Of course I have countless questions about your entire collection and knowledge.
I have so many questions that I can make a book. (*'-^*)b

The early ones have a 4.6mm !!  thick lanyard loop, the later ones are 2.5mm "thin" ;) with a 2mm spacer to fill the gap

Only the pivot is shaky. Mayby a service on the pliers and pivot would help him out

Nice old tool  :tu:

The plier pivot on these can be pulled apart, cleaned, lubricated and put back together.

It may take some adjustment (of the hex cap screws) afterwards to get the sliding mechanism for the pliers to slide nicely, but persevere and you should get there.

Depends which version, some are rarer than others.  Do you have any photos ?

Oh man, these were my first multitool! I bought them when I was back in high school, but when I went to college and my cousin was going into the marines I gave him this tool for doing so and bought the newer locking one for myself, what a joke, I ended up braking like three of the tools doing such simple stuff, I think I just switched to leatherman, idk what I did with the tool :think:

Thank you for using the charts I made. And thank you new information.
I admit you have a unique tool I don't know. w(゚ロ゚)w
Wonderful!
I have to revise the chart. ヽ(^Д^)ノ

Thank you for your wonderful memories. ٩(^ᴗ^)۶
The tools helped you in tough situation. And it would also have helped your cousin.

You want a good memory! I was on my way to the doctors, a good hour drive, and I was on the highway and stuck behind some truck, I decided to pass him so I drifted over to the next lane tapped the gas and went a little faster, I passed him then drifted back into the lane and took my foot off the gas, only thing was I didn’t slow down :think: so I figured maybe if I tap the gas peddle it would loosen? Bad idea, it stuck even further, next thing you know I’m really cruising, passing vehicle after vehicle, I didn’t know what to do? I was only a teen, I reached my foot under the pedal, and pulled up, notta, like crap,, here’s my exit, so I’m flying get off, and am coming up to a stop sign and I have both feet on the brake, the engine is going nuts, I let off the brake and the truck takes off, I come up to another stop sign and this lady is being an idiot, come on let’s go, TURN!! so she does and let off the brake and take off, and finally make it to my doctors office, slapped it into neutral and cut the truck off, I rolled in and found a parking spot put it in park, the hearts going, I look up and steam is just blowing between the hood and fenders, I go to pop the hood yet it was so hot, I found a rag to cover my hand and as I opened it, it was like a freaking cloud! Like OMG! So I drop the hood go to my appointment, which was forever, and the engine was cooled down, popped the hood look around, and notice the spring on the carburetor was broken and wasn’t pulling it back!
   Now, the fun part I have no tools only my original gerber, but what do I do? :dunno: What would MacGyver do? So I look around and found a clicky pen, unscrewed it, took the spring out, rigged it to fit so I could make it to my grandfathers so he could get a better spring on it! Needless to say that one had so much tension on it, only problem a week later the throttle cable frayed and I ended up having to replace that!
