Skelejuice

Since fellow multitool.org member appletree_man first posted pictures of his “modded” Leatherman Juice XE6, I was intrigued. When he announced it was for sale recently – I couldn’t resist….

I Know My Rights!

(but I really wish HM Customs did …..)

In the UK today, people are being demonised for carrying or owning knives. The press regale us every day with stories of gangs and knife crime and murder. More and more police forces are launching poster campai…

Leatherman Supertool 200

The second of Leatherman’s Supertool series of big, “professional use” multitools was released in the year 2000 as a direct replacement for the original Supertool. In addition to beefier pliers, the Supertool 200 introduced a more sophisticated tool locking mechanism, and rounded handles for additional comfort….

Kershaw A100

The Kershaw A100 is one of the most fascinating tools in my collection and makes a refreshing change from the ‘PST-like’ format that many manufacturers have copied…

Victorinox Swisstool Spirit

The Spirit is the smaller of Victorinox’s plier based multitools and is available in several variations. At the time of writing I have only one, in black oxide finish. Fans of the Spirit wax lyrical about the quality and “fit and finish” of the tool, and there’s no denying that it is extremely well put together….
