Alumium is pretty fun to turn/mill its kinda sticky when cutting though. Also is that a leatherman crunch? I carry a gerber centerdrive and its comes in handy for hot chips in a pinch.
I don’t mind it if it’s structural, especially too if it’s primarily mill work but I otherwise prefer iron or a higher carbon steel. And yes it is! I looked at the center drive as well but I find the vice grip much more useful than the regular pliers, and I can still use them as such fairly well.
