I think we need a Gadget review section.
Leatherman: After owning a PSTII for the last 14 years (dated on the inside of left handle), I have broke a couple of things on it over the years, so I decided to upgrade to a Charge TTi, which is a titanium version. All I can say is wow, so much nicer to use, the blades and screwdrivers now lock in and it is so much nicer to in your hands.
Pros:
- Bought in US for $115AUS when dollar was $0.97
- comes with spare screw driver bit
- much nicer to use
- blades/drivers lock in
- std and serated blades
- replaceable srew driver bits in case you break them
Cons:
- only outer casing is titanium, I really could not tell weight difference between alloy version, don't know if it is really worth extra $
- extra bits require extra pouch
Would I recommed this product: Yes but look at alloy version.
PS - Leatherman offer an unconditional 25 year warranty, after I explained how I broke the needle nose pliers and broke a couple of screwdrivers, I sent it down to Leatherman Australia and they fix and upgraded the scrissors at no charge. I offered to pay as I was using it well out of its intended purpose but they said don't worry. Now I have one for both hands :lol:
Avanti Coffee Percolator: for those who love real coffee, I got a 4 cup percolator, it makes one aussie size mug and fits nicely on the MSR. Brillant for those frosty mornings !!
Pros:
- Real coffee on cold mornings
- easy to keep clean
- available in 5 different sizes
- built tough out of SS, no glass fittings
Cons:
- ground coffee can burn, if you put it on hot flame before water has a chance to boil
- cost $90 from House
- burnt snow make it taste yuk !
- just big enough for one aussie mug
Would I recommed this product: Yes must love coffee for price. If 4wd camping would probably go either of the two bigger sizes.
