Re: Multitool: redone

I've had a Blast for about 3 years, and I love it. It's been fantastic for most on-the-fly work, mostly mechanical. I've used it to put on masterlinks and cut zip ties, and many things in betwen. Keep in mind that a multitool will never do as good of a job as the real tools.

I don't do much electrical work at all, but it does an adequate job of cutting and stripping small wires (but you REALLY want to use proper tools for that unless you're desperate). Is there any specific electrical things that you think you would use it for?

With the topic of knives in schools...I can't exactly encourage you to break whatever rule your school has in place (assuming you're using it there, or that your team is based out of a school, or that this is even relevant), but that's your decision to make based on whether or not you want to break rules and how much the school enforces the policy.
