You know how sometimes your sitting around and you find a lighter in your pocket, you start playing with it and you think to yourself " hey I wish this lighter could reach approx. 2,300 °F and I wish it could solder stuff " well I have a friend, we'll call him "Steve" who often has these thoughts. Well a little web surfing and 5 days later waiting on UPS. Shazzam you got it! So now I have one as well.
This is one fancy little torch that works off most standard disposable lighters.

2 new knives/tools



I was recently introduced to SOG knives and tools ( luckily it was my birthday ) The first is the SOG SEAL pup survival knife with a fixed blade and the second is a multi tool. I have always wanted a great fixed blade knife and this sure fits the criteria of an excellent knife. As for the power assist tool, I have always had leatherman products but the added feature of assisted opening on the knife side of the tool is great. Easy one handed operation is a great added benefit.

SEAL Pup

M37

Like its big brother, the SEAL Pup has a partially serrated blade that is powder coated for low-reflection and corrosion resistance. Its lightweight, glass-reinforced Zytel handle features a raised diamond pattern for secure gripping in inclement weather.

PowerAssist



S66

The new PowerAssist takes multi-tools to a new level. This is the first in the world to house not just one but two SOG Assisted Technology™ blades. Start to open the main blades, which are available when the main tool is closed, and S.A.T. takes over to complete opening. When not in use, these blades lock closed using our patent pending side release. Flip open the tool and experience the precision of the heavy-duty plier capability and large wire cutters. Smooth handle surfaces promote comfort on even the toughest jobs. While open, five other components are also included.
