Agreed

I have a PT-525 (has 110/66 blades) sitting right next to me on my desk, and it's bailed me out of a few jams where I've forgotten blades for my punchdown or needed stuff opened/cut/whatever. The flimsy metal covers on the inside (which turn to outside once the tool is opened) kinda suck, but the opening action is great and the knife and drywall saw are sharp as hell.

You can forget about using this thing to strip wires, and if you're thinking this is a replacement for a standard punchdown for anything more than a few crossconnects you are mistaken. Great to have in a pinch, and for 20 bucks I'd recommend.

I'm going to assume you got something stuck in your nose and not some other orifice. I am trying to eat here.

richellelander wrote:Yes, people who complain about the woot off. We read the last few blogs how you expressed displeasure on the way this woot of is going. Remember, this is the crap they couldn't sell the first time, or found under one of the monkey's cages. You're not going to find much of the good stuff here unless it was hidden in their warehouse collecting dust.

HA! HA! HA! I just saw your start date and understand your lack of understanding of what a good Wootoff is. Before Amazon took over Woot the whole game was much better. Since you werent here you have no idea what you are talking about. You don't even understand what a real Big o' Cosmos. is.

I hope they come up with something else that I can waste my hard earned money on, sometime soon.

It's always the zero wooters that make this comment. For all of you complete new folks, it is so tiresome to see ten percent of the comments during a woot off be "WORST WOOT OFF EVARRRRR". (Most often they are from people with less than 10 woots...)

Those posts are, of course, inevitable as is this post complaining about those posts.

Bring on the Big Orphaned Cetacea.

You know, I just downloaded the Wootalyzer app. Never used it before...but honestly it makes these dead-zones in a Woot-off somehow less bearable! You see the little countdown clock and you're like, "Oh...ok...just 20 more minutes...." then it jumps to 56 minutes!!! AGGGGHGHGHGHHGHHG!!!

Looks like a great tool for doing all sorts of things you shouldn't be doing... I'm waiting to see a Big o' Cosmos offering...

The thin metal "rails" on the squeezing side of the pliers excludes this from consideration. I've got a couple like that and it HURTS if you try to use the pliers/cutter.

Looks like cheap Chinese POS. Where is a Leatherman?

80C means end of the woot off. I'd rather keep it going for a few days to hopefully pick some good stuff.

SPOILER ALERT!

It really happened. 8 years ago.

You should call Aron Ralston and tell him he ruined the movie by telling everyone what happened in 2003.

Can I use this tool to amputate my own arm if it's stuck under a boulder in the desert?

If I had a multi tool
I'd multi tool in the mornin'
I'd multi tool in the evening
I'd multi tool all day long...

I understand there is a lot on contraversy on what a real Big o' Cosmos is. I was also was here BEFORE Amazon took over. You may want to get your dates straight. Also, I've been here long enough to hear people whine about what's up for sale, yet they have zero woots. You may want to dial back on the "I'm better then you" act. Some people would be offended. Oh, and how many quality posts do you have since your join date of 2007?

Something tells me this is bull. Sog makes fairly quality products. this one was rated poorly on amazon, not that poorly. If something snaps in half when it's loose enough to hand tighten, it sounds to me like you have a fundamental problem with the method in which you try and use a screwdriver.

It looks like it would cut your hands open if you used the pliers with any force whatsoever

For the love of god.... Someone purchase a couple dozen of these and donate them to their local boy scout troop (you can even write them off on your taxes)

Watch out!
I see it now!

It's horrifying!

It's a Woot-Off Killer!

No it doesnt, last woot off, it was in the middle of the day. They ended with flying monkeys and calendars. This is my second woot off, I even switched work days so i can get some good crap. This one SUCKS. The last woot off, they only have 5 to 10 items per woot. This time there are a bajillion and the item didnt sell before.... ugh. I should have went to work.

Dear Woot,

I would like to complain about the abundance of posts complaining about posts complaining about the quality of the Woot Off.

Sincerely,

Ken Voyeur

Oh man! I haven't seen 127 Hours yet, now you gave away the ending and spoiled it for me!

mikefiske wrote:Ever seen "127 hours"? Get a leatherman instead. Worth it, especially if you ever have to cut your own arm off.

I have a multi tool in my car, it has come in handy a number of times. The cheap ones suck, not sure of this quality, but a great item to have around.

That makes sense. I agree. No Big Orphaned Cetacea until Friday.

Are all woot-off's this slow?

You need a multi-tool to defend yourself from the Wott-Off Killer!

I'm no better than anyone else but it is true that Woot today (or the past 2+ years) is not what it was and those of us still here from back then know what a good wootoff is. No need for quality post because I dont post much. Most quality post marks are (earned?)from what anyone that cared would find with a quick Google search. By telling everyone that I found it first by doing that google search and then posting it to me is condecending to those with the brains to do it on there own.

Gets my vote for most useless useful tool ever made. I actually was given one of these and was so excited. Then I found out it did not have a wine cork opener. Then I remembered my Swiss Army knife and was saved.

I think you could not only amputate your arm with this tool, but also re-attach it.

How much time does one woot stay today.

mike49mr wrote:That makes sense. I agree. No Big Orphaned Cetacea until Friday.

Actually, for the past couple of woot offs I've seen, they did not signify the end of a woot off. They always ended with the monkeys. I've heard the same from others as well. Maybe they did in the past before I joined but I have not heard of that.

alrighty kids! Almost time for the east coast office drones to go play in traffic for the next hour so you know what that means...

Prepare for server crash 'cause here comes the Big o' Cosmos next!

*offer not valid in instance of 2 day woot off

A cheap multi-tool? Better cut off my own arm!
