found another thread on the topic


and if you want to spend 10 dollars and get wire strippers with it!

Features:

* Precision Pliers with Posi-Grip Jaws
* Phillips Screwdriver
* Flat Screwdriver
* Micro Phillips Screwdriver

honestly because i am an electrical guy, i like having wire strippers but the tool looks small.

looks nice, but the name "bomb diffuser" sounds a bit bad for school.

I think I found another item for my robotics/Christmas wish list.

I MUST HAVE ONE!

im currently making myself a school friendly (even though it will never go to school) multi tool. i removed all the tools but the pliers from the frame and i will replace the rivets with screws (just as soon as i find some) it was one i got as a free gift from a mall or something.

I'm thinking about the leatherman charge al, I guess I'm ok with not taking it to school after all. I can always get a cheap pocket size one for school or something.

I totally want a chain tool in a multi tool!

make shure the chan tool can work with your type of chain. i havent tested using some #35 chain in my nice bike tool (i love that tool!) in fear of breaking it. (the tool, not the chain) bike chain is just a little different from #35 chain but its noticeable)

[vivek16]

Weird, I was under the impression that most chain tools were fairly versatile? I know ours will work for fairly decent range and has no problem with either bike or 35 chain.

that kind doesnt work and its the kind on my bike multi tool.

[vivek16]

Oh, ok, we have one that clamps the chain from the sides of the pin not like that. yeah, that is a lot more compact and I can see why it might get messed up.

If you do end up getting a tool with a knife, ask the main office about it before you alter it in any way. Take it to the office and tell them why you need to have the tool at school. Also, explain that you'll keep it in your locker/backpack during school hours.

When I got my Leatherman, I took it to the office, and they said it was fine.

Good luck!

Oh, you don't understand our school district. In a nearby school district, they found a box cutter in a kid's trunk and almost had him expelled even though he uses it for work. I'm surprised they allow scissors. I guess I can understand but it does seem excessive at times.

I'm not planning on taking it to school anyways, we usually work at our sponsor's warehouse.

I am now undecided between the leatherman charge TTI and the gerber suspension. What do you think?
