so...
I was just sitting here reading about some of my favorite multitools, (trying to pick one out) and I just couldn't really get a good sense of the different tools (as far as different brands go) strengths/weaknesses. (I did ask people, but no one could give extensive knowledge about many of the tools)
idk how to expalin it to you really...
anyways, I was thinking it'd be cool if you got similar models of different brands (like, you wouldn't put a leatherman surge up against a swisstool spirit or something) and go over the different tools and test them against each other.
like, you could test the pliers strength, the wire cutters see whihc saw was most effective/tough ect.
:D
although I know it would be a long test/tests (really, the only makers of multitools are gerber, sog, leatherman and victorinox, so it could all be donw in one test if you had to) so it would have to be after your break, but I really think it'd be a good idea.

:D

It's a great idea. I don't every leave home without my leatherman. I'll see about getting some different brands an testing them all together against each other.

I recently purchased the Leatherman Skeletool CX multi-tool. It is a really great and beautiful piece of engineering, and I also know it has a 2.75-inch 154CM steel blade on it. It would be great to see a review of it compared to other multi-tools like eatingmuchface mentioned!

It would be cool to see how well the different multis cut different kinds of hard wire and if you have a torqe wrench you could see how tight you could torqe down screws and still remove them with the screw drivers. You could test the pliers the same way on torqed down bolts.

Tests of the sissors on different things would be cool too.
