Oh, I've been there briefly

Post #67,863 by n3jja 12/10/02 2:46:31 PM Reply	Oh, I've been there briefly But I'm more interested in why a Leatherman over this device. Have you had both, or is it just brand loyalty? So far (and I haven't picked the site apart yet), I don't see a Leatherman that has all the features of the Cybertool 34.

Much like meters, I will order a fluke. The other one might bee fine.

I had something similar happen to me. I had a (admittedly) cheap one as well and managed to break it in less than 3 months. Snapped the pliers right in half so I had 2 pieces of tool instead of one. Apparently, I have hands that don't always realise when they're applying too much pressure on something. I sometimes shear off 1/2 inch thick bolts because I'm trying to get the nut tight. Much like meters, I will order a fluke. Agree 100%.

BOxley gibbers: well I have [t]ried other not name brand equivelents So you've never heard of Victorinox??? I'd submit that that's not a problem with their "name-brand"-ness, but with your Allgemeinbildung. and found the assembly and quality shoddy so I know if I order a leatherman I would be assured of a quality product. Yeah, right... As if some bloody Yanks could ever beat THE SWISS for "quality product"! AS _I_F_!!! Christian R.

Seriously, I was not refering to "the" Swiss army knife but the multitudes made in china, maylasia, korea and hootersville NC that are red, carry a swiss cross in the middle and are advertised as swiss army knives. When looking at the link I did not look to see if it was "The" Swiss army knifes, just recalled the bad luck I have had with their replica's. "The" swiss army knife is a model of craftmanship and a good to have tool not only in this field but in many. It is almost as good as a handcrafted blade by Mathias Heide which is a good swiss-american name. Ginzu knifes are good also.(sign! sign!) thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] Opera was the television of the nineteenth century:loud, vulgar and garish with plots that could only be called infantile.
