DR ◣◢ Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 .Where did you get the cutter from? If you don't need an industrial strength one look at the cutters you can buy from vape shops. Brand is UD or Coil Master https://www.thevapery.co.za/products/coil-master-wire-cutter Hairy 1

My chinesium snips have been with my for 5 years now and not a single issue. My hardworking tools however is a different story. My theory is, if I can't use my leatherman to sort the issue, then only do I whip out the mooi mooi tools. I am onto my 2nd leatherman and that thing works HARD. It even comes with me to work!!!!!

I have a Micra on my car key. You never know when you will need tweezers or scissors As for my tool collection. I can buy a very nice second bike for what hides in my cabinet. Long Wheel Base 1

I bought my wife a squirt for her keys, she had to take a flight somewhere a while back and forgot it on her keys, security wanted to confiscate it. Luckily I work at the airport and I was at work so I ran over there and got it from her.So don't leave it on your keys if you fly!!!!Yeah good quality tools are always a good investment imho. I realise it so much as I make a living swinging spanners. DR ◣◢ 1

I keep a minora type blade between my phone cover and my cellphone ... then at one I kept one between the sole of my shoes and inner sole. I have flown with these a couple of times and they never pick it up.

Hairy Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Do you see yourself starting a prison riot and needing to slice some okes that you keep one of those hidden................ how else do you cut your biltong if SAA take your knife away from you I have had to use the blade on the odd occasion before .... but now I have a decent knife I carry everyday, so that comes out when I need to cut things. Once you see how often you can use a knife in your work life you would be very surprised. I have also used the big bloody knife to remove very fine splinters from little fingers ... or was it remove little fingers ... this habit of keeping a flat blade around goes back to the days when we would still issue plans to council in hard copy format...should you be walking the plans with the various departments, and they request a change you used the blade to scrape off the ink and make the changes required on the spot.
