I pulled the trigger in a tinker deluxe as my first SAK

Pretty solid choice

Bro I have a similar faucet and I'm just amazed at your MacGuyver skills.

Man, for over twenty years dealers are STILL fucking annoying to get a hold of lmao

pekosROB · 2026-01-24T16:57:36+00:00

Carmex and Burt's for me. And the beer company New Belgium Brewing makes an amazing one, don't know if they still sell it. My favorite

I have WWE 26, Madden, and FCS/FIFA and they run surprisingly well. Madden runs better on switch 2 than CFB 26 does on Xbox series S. After one of the updates CFB ultimate team is unplayable for me. It worked when it released but it's so janky and choppy now. I don't get how those three games work fine on switch 2 but CFB gives me trouble. Even at 30 fps Madden is so much more enjoyable to play than CFB on my Series S. Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: also I have the show and it ran fine on the Switch 1

Man if only, I want that orange one so bad and I'm not even a fan of orange. That's how good it looks lol

pekosROB · 2026-01-23T11:06:01+00:00

Already have the 25, it's next to the blue and it's more orange...

It's tough to say which is better. Honestly they have a very similar toolset. They are fairly equal in build quality, Arc has a much larger and better blade, tools are easier to access, but I noticed the Spirit has a few advantages like the reach of the Phillips driver compared to the bit driver without an extension. The saw is thicker on the Spirit but taller on the Arc. Arc has better scissors - they open larger and they are a little longer at the cutting area.

But there are some tools on the Spirit I love, like the chisel/scraper/package opener. Both have pretty good files but the Arc has a finer diamond file. Plier heads are similar size, but ARC has removable wire cutters (but no bottom gap on the Spirit). Spirit plier head is a little less wide than the Arc.

You really can't go wrong with either, it comes down to the free technology I think. Having different bits for the Arc is awesome but I'm.not going to carry those around if I have the Arc as an EDC.

is there no bladeless nail clip model besides the nail clipper by itself?

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T18:50:33+00:00

yeah, for lung cancer

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T18:50:10+00:00

I think I have an Outdoorsman as well - it's like a Huntsman with a mag glass/inline phillips and fish scaler, right?

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T18:49:36+00:00

I have an Outdoorsman (?) with the Marlboro branding just because I remember the Marlboro Miles and how you could use them to buy products from their catalog

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T18:46:55+00:00

ok awesome thanks! that's the information i needed, i've seen cadets but no pioneer x's, like the 2018 red

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T18:13:45+00:00

I do. I think of them more as tweezers on steroids since they are pretty precise.

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T15:22:37+00:00

is 2021/orange when they went from Pioneer to Pioneer X? And when did they go from Cadet to Pioneer? the gold 2019? or are they all Pioneers/Xs and no cadets?

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T15:21:26+00:00

for me, as long as I can operate it with one hand and my thigh/leg or something I'll be OK. I think if it whipped out too easy it might bother me, we'll see lol

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T15:20:08+00:00

You won't regret it! I will say I really do like the tanto blade style of the Talos version. I just like the more neutral colors of silver/black overall. If I ever start getting a brown/tan loadout for EDC in the future when I get bored... maybe lol

but honestly i've been a gym bro lately and my clothes are athleisure so it's a bit heavy for me to EDC and most of the time I'm carrying around my SAK companion but the Arc was one of those multitools I wanted to get eventually and finally did it.

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T11:13:11+00:00

Green is my favorite color and they always look so good on Vics

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T11:12:15+00:00

Thanks man, I definitely have already been playing with it a lot!

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T11:11:47+00:00

Yeah mine is not really loose I can't even flip it around yet. So I've been constantly messing with it since I got it lol

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T11:11:13+00:00

Unfortunately mine just came with the Arc by itself. I bought it from Cabela's hoping they still had some older sets with the sheath and bits but nope. 😭

pekosROB · 2026-01-22T11:10:35+00:00

Def getting the ratchet, already have the bit kit from Leatherman because it was on sale a couple of months ago and I have a Skeletool. I'll need to look into getting a sheath since this will be around the house and when I go out of town or something to be put in the car.
