A Slip-joint Pliers Trio...

 

A pair of CHANNELLOCK Pliers

The first tool is a 6½ inch Channellock No.516 Slip-Joint Pliers, which I found for 75¢ at a Church run thrift store around 15-20 years ago.

I bought this Channellock No.86 Rescue Tool during the first week of August.

I have a strange feeling that this Rescue Tool may come in handy in the near future...

DPNAO Multitool

 This DPNAO MULTITOOL is much higher quality than a copy of this tool that is available everywhere online.

I have two of the other cheaper wrench-pliers tool, and one cost me only  $9, and the other was $13, but it feels fragile and screws even fall out of the tool...this DPNAO tool is so much better, reliable & well made.

Into the bush, with antique black powder firearms 🔥

 

This is my .32 caliber Rimfire,  Smith & Wesson New model No 1½ Revolver.

*Note: the brass cases are dummy rounds and  are not loaded with powder and primer

This long gun is a smoothbore, percussion caplock muzzleloader with a 20 inch long, 18 Gauge(.637") barrel.

SOG ToolClip inspired MultiTools!

 "World Famous" Brand is, or was a Canadian company that specialized in gear for the Outdoors...

The "World Famous" Brand Multitool on the right side of the above photo, is my very first Multitool which I have had since the mid-90's.

The "World Famous" tool on the left was a very recent eBay bargain priced, nostalgic impulse purchase.

The Sheffield Mfg. Items are other fantastic eBay purchases...they are all from the early to mid-90's.

SOG's first Multitool was called the "ToolClip", and today will demand more than $150 cdn.

I like the ergonomic design and although I own & use other Multitools, the SOG ToolClip still remains my favorite type of pliers based Multitool ...

Some new Tools(+ a tool or two I hope to get) pt_two 2024

First, there is a well made Chinese copy of Gerber's US MILITARY variant of MP600.

I have found this to be a useful part of my Field Reloading kit for my Antique cartridge firing revolvers.

 

Second, is my brand new SOG PowerLock EOD Multitool...it's the 25th year that this model has been in production.

Third, is the SOG SwitchPlier, which I unfortunately don't own, but it is still listed as "in stock soon" on SOG's website.

The last Multitool today is a Leatherman inspired design from BiBury which recently cost me $18 CDN from Amazon.

It's a very practical tool set .

SOG's AEGIS Multi-Tool

 

I recently bought a full sized  SOG PowerLock Multitool & this little SOG Aegis MT.

Both have SOG's compound leverage technology which doubles the strength of the pliers, which is amazing!

Knife Roll filled with Pocket Knives

 

.43 caliber Aluminum Alloy RoundBall

 

@ 1.8 grams per Aluminum Roundball, these "Alien Play" projectiles are another option for the Umarex Walther-T4E PPQ M2 Co2 Pistol.

The injection molded Nylon/PVC "Riot Ball" are 13.3 grains per round, basically 50% lighter than the Aluminum ball.
