]]> Comment on Leatherman Juice, a Stylish Pocket Multi-Tool by Maikeru http://ohmyguyd.com/leatherman-juice-a-stylish-pocket-multi-tool/#comment-14440 Maikeru Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:06:08 +0000 http://ohmyguyd.com/?p=854#comment-14440 The nice thing is that the scissors on the XE6 are not only outside accessible, but they fold closed (instead of open on full-sized Leatherman tools) and have ridging for assisting in cutting things like fishing line. I believe that the scissors on the S2 and CS2 (S for "Scissors" and C for "Corkscrew) are mostly the same, but lack the ridging on them. Anyway, these are great tools for the vast majority of people who'd otherwise pick up a SAK (Swiss Army Knife) or a devoted wine tool for picnics, light camping, hiking, light-weight DIY, etc. I personally got through half of college with a C2 (then someone stole it) and then got though the rest of it with an XE6.

]]> Comment on Toys to Avoid – Transformers Movie Action Figures by Stuart http://ohmyguyd.com/toys-to-avoid-transformers-movie-action-figures/#comment-13694 Stuart Sat, 21 Jan 2012 02:35:02 +0000 http://ohmyguyd.com/?p=1012#comment-13694 I don't think it's that they're shoddily made, but that they're designed too intricately. I have a few of the "Transformer Generations" figures, and they are just superior in both design and construction. I picked up a few of the first movie figures as well, thinking they would look good on a shelf, but they're just flimsy and floppy. Forget about transforming them back - they feel like they'll break in half, and probably will without the utmost gentle of handling. The figures from the '80s and '90s may look a bit cruder, but they're infinitely more durable. As for LEGO, one can tell that they're investing serious resources in their design team. I picked up one of the Star Wars sets for fun and then bought a few more. And the modular buildings, such as the <a href="http://ohmyguyd.com/lego-fire-brigade-10197/" rel="nofollow">Fire Brigade</a>, - are absolute joys to build as well.
