    I've been looking for a multi tool
    Was trying to buy victorinox or leatherman…
    not sure which one's good actually…

    Can anyone give me some recommendations? (I need pilers more cause i do engineering…)

      Leatherman Surge is my pick or the Leatherman Wave if you want something smaller. I have both and haven't found a better multi tool in years.
      There are some pics here if you want to compare.

      I have leatherman wave and the quality is outstanding. No experience with victorinox.

    • kiwipride on 30/05/2012 - 08:54

      The BG multi tool from (hate to say it) COD looked good.

    • [Deactivated] on 30/05/2012 - 09:30

      The Victorinox range are absolutely awesome. I have a Leatherman supertool 300 and the steel is so brittle. The small screwdriver head just chipped off when used on an electrical contact screw (read intended purpose). The Victorinox steel is awesome in comparison and the fact that the tools are on the outside is immediately more functional. Though I notice some of the newer Leatherman tools have copied this idea.

      At the end of the day, the warranty on the leatherman is excellent … ship it to some place in Sydney and they replace the offending bit instantly.

      We are lucky to have such choice and after sales support on items like these.

    Check http://camelcamelcamel.com before you buy. Many of these seem to have been cheaper previously, including the Charge TTi I recently bought and the New Wave you mentioned.

    • Telios on 30/05/2012 - 06:58

      Yeah the Charge TTi is awesome, although I'm disappointed that the pliers aren't titanium as well…since mine have been quite worn from use on various machines.

      Also as I've pointed out numerous times in other posts, this isn't really a bargain; This is pretty much standard price from Amazon (which is where I've bought all 3 leathermans)

      Not gonna neg though.

    Not much of a deal here, these are pretty standard online prices.

  • Phoenixsun6 on 30/05/2012 - 07:51

    I know it's a standard price online but geez when you compare it to a place like king of knives, you cant go past it… My work refused to buy my the Surge online ($70~) instead going into KOK and paying $250!! (think it was on special lol)

    • Ace on 30/05/2012 - 14:44

      Exactly. Just because it's not the cheapest it's ever been in the past, doesn't mean it's not still a bargain. I hate how OzB has changed now and is only about finding/posting the cheapest deal historically. A lot of decent bargains are missed out this way.

    Some of the knives can't be shipped to Australia.

    • BuyoTheCat on 30/05/2012 - 09:59

      If it is a multi tool, You will not have a problem.
      Multi tools are not subjected to control

      I just got one from Amazon.

      • acky on 30/05/2012 - 19:10

        No, I mean some of the merchants on Amazon will not ship to Australia. It won't let you go through with the order.

  • Tycn on 30/05/2012 - 09:34

    Any knife that supports one handed opening is illegal to import thanks to some bureaucrat lacking two brain cells to bang together. Thing is, they're perfectly legal to buy locally.

    • Phoenixsun6 on 30/05/2012 - 10:34

      Lol good luck trying to open one one-handed, you might look a bit spesh in doing so..

    • Telios on 30/05/2012 - 11:04

      Have you tried opening a proper Leatherman (Super 300/Charge/Wave/Pulse) one-handed?

      They are freaking huge. Either way, have imported 3 myself (2 years/1 year/1 year) and have seen another 4 come through (friends) so 7/7 I think you'll be fine.

      Just don't go buying a 14" black powder coat machete without telling the local popo and you should be fine.

      • Tycn on 30/05/2012 - 21:13

        I haven't. I was under the impression that was a feature though.

        The legislation was only changed late last year IIRC and as with everything not all packages are screened thoroughly.

        Funnily enough the machete would have no problem getting through, as well as many other harmless implements.

        "Items that are NOT subject to control:

        standard kitchen knives; single edge swords; traditional samurai and katana swords; bayonets designed to be fitted to a firearm; two handed opening knives; rubber training knives; multi tools; stanly knives; khukri; kukri; bowie knives; machete; spears; spear heads; bolo; dao; iaito; jian; kopis; "

        Guess tradies might have to restrict themselves to swords and spears.

          multi tools…

          Am I missing something, or are you trying to help my case?
          Leatherman is a multitool broski.

        • Tycn on 01/06/2012 - 21:47

          A multitool that includes a one handed opening knife, broheim.

          http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1846191

          There are some conflicting accounts but a few officials have stated that they can be confiscated.

    • suburbanmale on 30/05/2012 - 12:17

      It's not any knife capable of single-handed opening, only those with a blade that can be opened by "gravity, inertia or centrifugal force". Good luck trying to do that with one of these.

      • Tycn on 30/05/2012 - 21:09

        That was true until late last year I believe.

        "single handed opening knives"

        • Zero on 31/05/2012 - 02:17

          Branko is correct, that law only applies to automatic and assisted knives in this context. Standard folders are fine.

          I've bought Sanrenmu, CRKT, Benchmade, Becker and many others from overseas. All are designed to be one handed opening knives using the thumb stud, not one has been stopped, opened or confiscated.
          I have a few push knives, sheath knives and non-metallic knives as well that had no issue getting in.

          What you read is very a very broad description but it's worded that way so they can cover some extreme cases when they need to. If it was followed to the letter as it reads, 99% of knives wouldn't get in.

        • Tycn on 31/05/2012 - 08:16

          Do you have a source for that? It says above that single handed opening knives are a restricted import. I don't think context has any part in it, unless you happen to own an import permit.

          If you imported those knives with thumb studs before late 2011 then it would have been before the law was changed. Even before that it was up to the discretion of the customs official, since knives that were loose enough to be opened with a flick of the wrist were often confiscated due to a somewhat loopy interpretation. At any rate not all parcels are inspected so I wouldn't be surprised if a good proportion of illegal knives made it through.

        • Telios on 01/06/2012 - 21:03

          push knives, sheath? (assuming stealth) knives and non-metallic knives

          Yeah all of those are definitely controlled weapons, you should be really careful trying to import shit like that, apart from losing your money you can get in deep shit if they track you down.
          Especially for push knives.

        • Zero on 02/06/2012 - 01:55

          @Tycn
          A source for what? I didn't quote anything.
          Context as in the conversation, not that law.

          Read my last two sentences again, I'd just be repeating myself otherwise.
          I've bought a few this year so I still stand by my previous comment about leaving their options open.

          Seriously though, chill out. I think you're getting a bit carried away here. As I said before, like most laws, they just word it so they can blanket cover if they need to. You're getting in to the technical interpretation too much, it's a reality thing.

          @Telios
          "Yeah all of those are definitely controlled weapons" Technically yes but check this out.
          Push knives, yeah illegal. Sheath knives (not stealth), anything with a cover/case. Non-metallic knives, ceramic kitchen knives is what I was referring to but still fall under that description simply because they have no metal.
          The first one I agree with but the other two are just ridiculous. Just backs up my "cover some extreme cases when they need to" comment.
          I can't see them tracking me down. If they didn't notice it when it came through, they can't find out now I have it.

        • Tycn on 02/06/2012 - 02:19

          "You're getting in to the technical interpretation too much, it's a reality thing."

          The fact of the matter is, knives with thumb studs/holes DO get confiscated. Not all of them obviously, but it happens. I personally know a number of people who have had folders taken by customs so it seems a bit irresponsible for you to claim that they're completely safe to import. Even before they were directly prohibited, it was a possibility.

          Chill out? I'm not particularly invested in this topic, but people following your advice may very well be putting their money at risk.

        • Zero on 02/06/2012 - 02:36

          I never said some don't get confiscated, I said I've never had an issue with it. You're just talking about over zealous customs officers, the same thing happens with most items that close to the prohibited list really.
          I never claimed they are safe to import either but given 99% of folders open that way, I think it's safe to say this isn't an issue that is going to arise too often.
