Isn't it ironic??
on: March 20, 2009, 01:18:12 PM
Even though I love my Wenger Rangers(and pining for the Mike Horn). The Wenger that gets the most use(even at work), is my Swiss Clipper.

I keep banging my nails on the paint cans, at work!!

We have/carry SAKs and multitools that can hack an airfield out of the jungle, while being surrounded by Viet Cong.

But what do we use the most??  The Wenger Swiss clipper :tu:

I know this is the Swiss Forum and all that, but just to say that my "diddy" tools like the Micra or Squirt get more use than the biggies too. For me the reason is simple, I leave the big stuff in my bag/case where it won't scare people, but will generally have the smaller tool (plus my Prybaby) in my pockets, so that's what tends to get used first.

I used to come here a lot.

My Wave gets the most use but before I had it I mainly used a Radio Shack Leatherman(E4).

If the Wave weighed less (like in the range of my Cybertool), it would be my only tool.  It's good.  Really good. In fact, nearly perfect (yea, yea, no awl  ::)). That said, when weight is at a premium, other tools get the nod.

It reminds me of the "most used Christmas gifts",, the "STOCKING STUFFERS" :tu:
