Re: Multitool: redone
I dont do much electrical work, so the cap crimpers would be unnecessary to me. As for the black oxide, it does look very nice! I have heard some stories where the black oxide coating rubs off and turns your hands black though. From searching around, it looks like Amazon has the cheapest prices. I also found this video, if it helps (and you haven't already seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6IfJyIomyA)

Re: Multitool: redone
Get this Swiss Tool. Probably can be found for cheaper elsewhere. I know its more expensive, but its worth every penny.
Reasons: -All tools are accessible from the outside. Seems trivial, but makes life WAY easier and way faster in the pit when 30s matters. -100% stainless steel, won't ever rust, corrode, or bind up. -Has two wire-stripping elements and work very well. I've done up to 4awg with it. -The back of the pliers is notched to crimp wires, and it also works very well. Be sure to make the pirate noise when crimping because no multi-tool can beat a real wire crimper. -Has a wood saw, that works well, I've built a bed frame with mine. -It has a metal saw that works well as well as a fine and coarse file. Great for filing down those sharp edges and zip-tie tails and cutting off long bolts at inspection. -A somewhat real Phillips screw driver tip that works perfectly for Victors and Jags. -Incredibly solid locking mechanism makes it very safe to use, and is the easiest safety to release that I've ever used. I have had mine for over 10 years, including the original leather case. It has built 6 robots (4 as a student and 2 as a coach) and 3 FSAE cars when I was in college. It has been a loyal pit tool for all of these machines. Before I had it, it was my Dad's. He used it on arctic and antarctic field expeditions. It has been frozen, doused in salt water, dropped, repeatedly hit with a hammer (yes, I've used the chisel tool, more that once), been used as a hammer, covered in sand, dirt, metal shavings, heated up (rubber band around handle = instant soldering stand or welding jig), thoroughly used and completely abused. Other students and coaches on my team love using it. The knife blades are still sharp. All of the joints are still snug, they haven't gotten loose and sloppy like so many Leathermans have. Put simply: I've owned 4 leathermans, a SOG, and a number of other multi-tools and this is the one that I still have. |
