It’s just picture frame type wire which is super cheap and super strong. I have a lot of it at home, and I’ve had to replace it a few times now. If I didn’t already have a lot of it though, I wouldn’t go out of my way to carry it because strong paracord or thin rope could be just as effective.

I use mine for bending sheet metal and holding objects while I saw them/work with them. I like to build things in my spare time, so I use them frequently for gripping, crunching, crimping, or wrenching sometimes.

It’s a new addition, so it’s hard to say. My previous SAK was a Champ, and I used the metal file and scissors the most, but I always wanted a bit driver for the electronic maintenance that I do.

Well I’m a little biased because I’m the creator of it and it’s still in development, but overall I like it. I am going to raise the handle length from 75mm to 100mm because I feel like I need that extra boost in leverage for any substantial prying task that requires a lot of force.

I just like carrying separate dedicated tools. Lets say you need to hold something down with the pliers and cut it with the SAK scissors at the same time, you wouldn’t be able to do that with integrated tools. So, the advantage is when needing to use two or more tools at once.

Good idea. I sent them a message asking to reopen the sub temporarily but lock everything but a stickied post that notifies users about the Lemmy migration, and/or put it in the sidebar. Let’s hope they see it.

Totally agree. I need to update my EDC and make a post soon.

Yep, no more rubber bands. I had to find a better way.

It isn’t TPU although that would have been a good idea if I had any. It is PETG. The tools don’t fall out if you turn it upside down because they sit nice and snug in there. So far they’ve stayed in the case while in my pocket, even when turned upside down.

Thanks!

Yes, I’m a machinist and it comes in handy quite often. Things like gently tapping parts into fixtures, prying collets from machines, etc…

Very cool. What are you going to use it for?

That’s a good thing to add. I have a life straw I could add. Thanks!

Thanks! I used InVesalius for creating the STL of my entire head, and I used Autodesk Meshmixer to isolate my brain from all the other pieces of my head. There are better ways to do it though, I think.
