Beware the dead-eyed stare of Senator Screensaver.

I worked with a guy who wore a headlamp nearly all the time. When people would ask about it he would always tell them "There are only two reasons NOT to wear a headlamp. Either you don't have a head, or you don't have a headlamp."

I will never forget this.

I've been a huge fan of this Hultafors Dry Marker for carpentry and woodworking. Having that sheath with a built-in sharpener is excellent too.

Ok. I bought one of these three weeks ago based on this post.

Holy shit.

I've been a Leatherman or knife carrier most of my life. But I have reached for my new Fastback more than most multitools I've ever owned.

In these past weeks I have:

  • Taken a fence apart to back a truck into the yard of a friend who was moving.
  • Opened several boxes that I wouldn't have needlessly dulled my knife blade on.
  • Removed the blade to scrape residue off of a window more than once.
  • Used the flathead to pry whatever small retaining clip needed persuasion.
  • Cut the end of of zip ties totally flush.

I know not everyone will have this experience. But the disposable blade coupled with a 1/4" bit was an absolute game changer for me.

Thanks, OP
