Tool Tales

August 2009

MacGyver of All

As a Blue Collar Professional I have found my Leatherman Wave to be the tool I have kept on my belt for the past 10 years.

I have been a Firefighter, an Emergency Medical Technician, Search and Rescue Team Member, and now I am an Emergency Manager. This tool has saved me countless times over not only because of it's usefulness to cut, gut, repair, strip, slice, screw, open, clamp, saw, file anything and everything but, because it truly has saved my life. I've used this for everything above and even to break glass, hammer a small nail, or punch a spot for a drill bit.

This tool is well worth the cost and I am hoping to find replacement parts as my straight blade has a broken tip, the knife isn't taking a good edge, and I really like the idea of inter-changeable tips.

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.
