I bought a few of the Schrade needle nose vise grip multi tools on sale. Keep 1 in the van and 1 in the BOB's stashed away from the house and 1 in my tool box.

Vise grip multi tool. Why have I not heard of these? Sounds like a genius idea.

This is what youre talking about right?

There was recently a contest on both KF and OMF. I like most of the other people entering posted my FatBoy and all my gear. I will repost it here.

Here is my entry for the contest.

Maxpedition FatBoy with contents all spread out.

I generally take it for shopping or visiting or hiking etc - most things when I'm away from my home.

I don't usually take it to work, and I don't always take it if I'm going "out" pubbing etc in the evening. Nowadays I have enough confidence in my EDC that I don't feel I need the waist pack.

Do you have a link to the contest? I'd like to see the other entries as well.

No problem. It was held over at Knife Forums and at OMF. No need to bother with going to OMF as only 2 people entered there and we both entered at KF as well. I won at OMF and got a brand spanking new DevilDog Versipack from Tim at Maxpedition. The perfect bag if you were to set up a "Cody Lundin" type kit from 98 degrees. Link as follows:
