I would like to make an extra page about the plier used on the Wenger New Ranger knives and this will include some of my thoughts and knowledge about combination
tools again. It will be some about advantages and disadvantages. I can assure you that I am only here to be helpful and serious so you may get positive impulses with multi-tools and to receive further factors. I try to write in a way that is not boring to
you and I hope I can draw a smile. Some of you are very experienced and can give me knowledge as well. No doubt about it the plier used on the New Ranger knives is a very nice introduction and it is for sure a helpful feature. I do believe the philosophy behind it is an outdoors product with some handyman factors as well. I like it very much.
The mechanism on this construction is advanced and I recommend taking a look on it. Because there are springs and an advanced mechanism then it require some maintenance. It is important that it is not abused and used in a wrong way. I do
believe because there are springs and this mechanism then there is a limit to the size of the plier and the functionality it can have.
Below on the article I
will write some links about my pages that are very important that you read because everything is connected.
With multi-tools you need to know that it would be
very difficult to find any tool with the absolute best functions and one complete tool that can be used for everything. It depends on how versatile you are with the multi-tool and that it is possible improvise. Over the years I have gathered information and
knowledge about the tools and I have some knowledge that can be used for benefit.
Combination tools are the key to many of the negative factors you may experience
using tools and functions. There are differences between a hybrid design and a needle nose plier. A needle nose plier may have different sizes and some are much stronger made than the Wenger type. No matter how slim or strong a plier is you will have to improvise
and sometimes abuse the plier. It is possible to avoid any abuse if combination tools are used. If you turn a bolt on a flat surface and the bolt is close to the flat surface in a way that you cannot open it. This can be because it is stuck or that you cannot
get a good grip with the opening on the plier. This then may mean that the front section of the plier must be used. On a needle nose design this may mean that it will be abused because the tip section is not the strongest at all. It can also be in a situation
that the bolt or nut got a screw through it and it is in a position that you have to use the very tip on the plier to turn the nut. It is easy to damage the plier in such ways. It can also be a situation that requires two tools at the same time that would
require a combination tool.
The plier and mechanism on the New Rangers are made to be a versatile and helpful feature and it is also obvious that it is no impact
tool by design and impact could mean abuse. What it could do in an emergency could be very another thing. It is for sure possible but not recommended. It is a very nice tool.
It is important with a needle nose design that you read the construction of it and read the object it will be used on. It is important that you take advantage of the design and let the design function as best possible.
One of the biggest negative factors with a multi-tool is as simple as getting in a position on equipment or a device. Sometimes it is not possible to turn a bolt because it is not possible to reach
it. In most cases then it will not be attempted because you can get hurt or it would require damage on equipment. Today this is no problem really because if you go over everything and think beforehand then it would be possible to prevent this. It is sad that
a multi-tool fit most things but I cannot replace the professional tools. I do believe like we know from the world that the use of combination and to build on a tool is used for a long time now. I do believe it is possible to build further on this. I do believe
a multi-tool can become much more versatile. It is also important that the use of two separate complete tools can be smart.
