Elan Ballistic

Advantages: High quality cricket bat
Disadvantages: Little pricey

... Puma Ballistic 4000 The Product This is a cricket bat, made by the Australian based manufacturer Puma. Puma make all sorts of sports equipment, but have only recently moved into the manufacture of cricket bats. They have, however, exploded onto the scene and are now amongst the most popular manufacturers. This particular bat is a Puma Ballistic 4000. All the Puma bats come in a series of grades, 5000, 4000 and 3000. Therefore, the 4000 is a middle range bat, but as the quality of all the Puma bats is so high, this is like a high grade bat from any other producer. The Ballistic is characteristic for its thick edges and enhanced sweet spot, making it a bat for players of power rather than precision.

Advantages: Reasonably priced, friendly staff

Advantages: Strong, reliable, spring-loaded pliers, rust proof
Disadvantages: Scissors have small cut size

...on it - vital! SAW: Although the saw is small in length (55mm), it is good for general use. You can't cut down large trees with it, but it's good for cutting small diameter tubing (Eg. Landrover engine pipes) and drain-pipe type tubing. The saw is replaceable, but I haven't had to replace mine yet. OTHER FEATURES: Gator TEX grips Weather resistant handles Patented saw coupler with replaceable RemGrit blade Ergonomic grip Lightweight Aerospace handle material Field adjustable axle fastener Medium / coarse file Ballistic sheath Complete with ballistic sheath Weight 243g Size closed 110mm, size open 160mm SUMMARY: In summary, the GERBER 800 is, in my opinion, a far superior tool to the LEATHERMAN. It is robust and well-thought out, leaving out the gimmicks and concentrating on what you need in the field. I have used mine... Read review
