I've blooged about these little leathermen before. Lost anouther. That makes 2 now. Maybe 3.
It's what I carry when I'm not really supposed to carry a knife. Another reason I carry it is they are relatively cheap and have no sentimental value so if I lose one it is easy to replace with a duplicate.
They make a similar variety even MORE nerfed. Instead of a blade, a tiny scissor. Instead of a little scissor, a small pair of pliers. I am unimpressed. I used the blade as much as any of the tools.
One advantage to the nerfed one? You can get on an airliner with it, or into a courthouse.
If you have to, you could quickly break into a modern house with that one inch blade. How? Well, it's sharp enough to get through the vinyl siding. Under that is just Tyvek and studs. You can cut though the Tyvek between the studs. Then there is insulation. Pull that out. Now drywall board. Push or score that. You are in faster than if you picked the lock.
Don't do that. It's a felony.
Common misconception. Tyvek is the waterproof plastic wrap that goes over the exterior foam insulation panels.
ReplyDeleteYes. Cut the tyvek BETWEEN the studs. The knife can't cut the studs, you are aiming for the gap between. As signaled by where the fasteners are.
