Title says it all. Are you guys going to do a SHOT Show report like last year? Sorry if this has already been mentioned somewhere.

Doug attended the Shot Show with his wife this year, so he may have stayed on for some much deserved R&R. I'm sure the hot scoop will be forthcoming.

*For all the computer studs out there who are masters of HTML, I'm sure Doug is going to need some help getting the report out again this year. I can't remember who helped last year, but thank you to whoever it was. I offered to help last year until I found out that HTML is not an abbreviation for Hot Meal!

to give you a heads up. Leatherman is redisigning wave with brass bushings, better steal on their knife and some scissors improvement. They are also going to have a new tool called Crush. When I find out more I let you know <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Yes. Working on it as we "speak." It will be somewhat limited compared to years past due to limited time and other priorities. Whatever will be done will be posted late Sunday, that's my deadline.

Thanks Doug, I'm looking forward to your report. I hope you had a good time at SHOT.


Now, that Leatherman Charge looks really nice, does anyone know the MSRP? <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow, look at the "Charge" pair. Titanium, C154, bushings, the big cast bolsters are gone, everything improved- glad I didn't upgrade to a "later" first-generation Wave. These clearly look like the new stars of the show.

Still, somehow, they made it weigh over 8 ounces. Sigh. And that's before you start loading up that sheath with all the accessory pouches. I should be buying stock in companies that make sturdy belts.

They look like the wave with different handles. Looking at the screwdriver, I wonder what was lost since it will be wider then the old one. I think I liked the old bit adapter better, I always wanted a racheting mechanism built into in though and have been searching for years for a small quality racheting screwdriver that I could cut the handle off and replace the bat adapter with. It looks like the new bits might be the short double ended ones as well which i have been unable to find either. I have a small 4 way screwdriver with those bits but all the ones like that in the stores are about 1/4" longer so the little spring ball stops just outside the tip and won't hold the bits in.
