Gerber Legend 800 Multitool

The one I got from a PX the year after it was released is epic. Have carried it for 23 years. It has seen everything and outside of scraping the knife sharpish again, has never been maintained. I misplaced it for a bit (under friends driver's seat for about a year) and couldn't find a replacement "upgrade". Did the Leatherman wave2 for a bit. Couldn't take it, hit up eBay, got 3 more Gerber L800s (later release, still in boxes)...so bad. They just felt cheaper. When we stumbled upon my old Gerber, I kept the new ones for parts. Replace my knife with a new one...it already has rust dots on it. My old one after decades of abuse and being sharpened to half it's starting width, doesn't have a spot of rust on it.

ANYWAY....yeah...what OP said.

Yeah, Gerber fell the fuck off. They became just sloppy.
I feel Leatherman has stayed the course.

If you really are looking for a hoodie: 1620.
Prices are high, they're very proud of their products. Their work pants aren't worth it, garbage*. Both pairs I bought don't come close to my Wrangler for durability.
However, their hoodie is pretty dope. It's long, and the hood is huge. A proper functioning hood, I can pull it down to my nose. Buttons instead of string. It's thick & warm. Only downside is it's long, and I'm 6'1", it falls below my ass. The waist is also wide, or my waist is just more narrow than the average tradesman they're targeting.

Sounds like you bought a size too large? If its too long and wide

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nah, fits my shoulders and arms great. I've just got a narrow waist. Everything for me weird.

Whether they're trustworthy or not I'm not sure, but they've not failed me yet

I tend to go for those "2024 top 10 x" lists, jabra 65t was a very good recommendation from there, my toaster, probably a bunch of other things I've now forgotten about

They generally aren't trustworthy overall, but many of those lists that have decent suggestions are just stolen content from more legit sources that don't SEO farm and get buried in search engine results.

Very happy with my jabra headphones as well. May not be best price for performance but they are solid enough. (85h elite and 65t active)

65t regular when I got it was about £80 I think, very good for the price I think
