Wall Compy Update and Broken Tools

Well, I just have a quick update for you on the wall compy. I ended up replacing the CD-ROM drive with two more 80GB hard drives, which brings the total storage capacity of this bad boy to 280GB. I’m pretty happy with it. Here’s a pic!

Also, just recently (like tonight) I was working on a small project of mine. During the course of this, I ran across a point where I needed to crimp a connector onto some wire. No problem for my handy dandy Gerber Suspension Multi-Tool. Thus, I began the crimping process. Placed the connector with wire into the maw of this beast they call pliers and began to squeeze down, expecting a perfect crimp. SNAP!!!! Looking down more closely, the handles were too close together! Half of the pliers broke off! I broke stainless steel pliers! (Sure, it was a manufacturing defect, but hey, why not brag a little!) Here’s some pictures to prove it!

Luckily, there is a lifetime warranty on these suckers! I’m gonna send it back, and get me a new one. I have to say, I’ve really really enjoyed this tool. It’s got great functionality, Is a very comfortable size for my hand, and is a very easy grip too. Despite the break, I would definitely recommend these tools to anyone. Also, their service is great. All of their Multi-Tools have Limited Lifetime Warranties, and they’re really easy going about it, just mail it back to them with a note with your name, address, telephone number, and what happened, and they’ll repair or replace it and send it back! That easy. I’ll be mailing mine back in the next few days!

I’ll miss you pliers, come back soon!
