Four new little Spyders on my desk...

Greetings all,

These four little guys showed up yesterday. I was very curious about the Clipitool line when I first saw them posted, and I needed a replacement for my dearly departed Manbug, so I ordered all these a while back.

The Clipitools are very solid, and as expected are a little stiff to open but still doable with the opening hole. The scissors have thin blades and seem to cut easily, but with the blunt tips I wonder if they will prove as useful as the SAK scissors I am used to. The little serrated blade is wicked sharp as expected. I was originally thinking that I would like the one with the scissors best, but after handling them I can see the caplifter model to be a great thing for parties, cookouts, etc.

The Super Blue Ladybug is exactly what I expected; small, light, wickedly sharp. It just zips through everything that I have tried it on so far at the office. I put a bigger fob on it than I had on my Manbug in hopes of keeping up with it.
 
Thanks for the post and pics. If you could choose just one, which one would you pick?
 
Tough call. The one with the caplifter would be very useful with all the upcoming crawfish boils and cookouts, but for EDC maybe the one with the serrated blade. I could pair it up with a Victorinox Executive and probably handle 95% of around the office cutting choirs just fine.
