Leatherman Blast Blasts Competition

This is not a story about daring rescues, and or last second fixes by my Leatherman Blast, but simply a story about the best multi-tool I have ever owned.

I am employed as an industrial Emergency Medical Technician at a chemical plant in the town where I live and for the last month I have been carrying a Leatherman Blast. It works above and beyond any task that I have come across.

Prior to this month I had been carrying a Buck X-tract multi-tool and at the time I truly believed that it was the best tool in the world. However, at the beginning of December I was using the knife blade to cut rope and the blade lock failed. Luckily I was cutting away from myself and wasn't injured, but I stopped using it at that moment and went and bought me a Leatherman Blast. It was recommended to me by the guy at the sporting goods store and I am glad I listened to him. I love the tool so much that I even bought my girlfriend one.

Leatherman has a customer for life in me. Thanks for making such great products.

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.
