The Many Uses of a Leatherman

I now own a Leatherman Charge TTi. I decided to get my Leatherman after seeing how much my dad used his original PST. I really liked my Leatherman so I decided to get my brother and sister ones for Christmas. I got my sister the Juice XE6 and my brother the Blast. After he got it he would take it out just to admire it and think of what he could use it to do. I never saw him without it the first week I got him it.

So we went to Kansas to visit some relatives (we live in Montana) and when we were there my brother couldn't find his Leatherman. My mom found it for him a couple of days into the trip. The next day he forgot he had it and left it downstairs. My dad told him, "What's the point of having a Leatherman if you aren't even going to use it”. So he goes and gets his Leatherman and five minutes later is using it. Instead of using it to save his life or save the trip though, he was using it to pick up a giant beetle that was in the house and throw it outside.

This story just goes to show that a Leatherman can do a lot more than save your life or trip. It shows a Leatherman can also help you with little things every day.

Tell Us Your Tale

OK, you voyeur, you. Enough of reading other people's stories. It's time you told your own tale of gripping heroism or even just neat DIY'ism. We know there's a Shakespeare in you somewhere. Don't make us use the Steens to find it.
