Doesn't Measure Up!
I have been a heavy multi-tool user for about 10 years. Once I was of age, my obsession with multi's began. I have used Leatherman tools for the most part, but have experimented with other brands.
Not too long ago, a friend of mine tried to get me to use Swiss army knives and swore by their efficiency, and their ease of carry. Well after about 5 months of bugging me, I submitted and began to carry a SAK everywhere - work, grocery shopping, etc. Well the SAK worked okay, but many times I got stuck on a certain project at work, and wished I had my Leatherman on me. After about 3 months, I finally got fed up, threw my new and expensive SAK away, began to carry my Surge again and have been happy ever since.
It just goes to show you that once you've used a Leatherman, everything else just doesn't measure up.

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.
