Toolbox on My Belt
My Leatherman (Core) is a fairly recent acquisition, but already had some serious usage in the mining site at which I work. I've always carried a knife, and screwdriver, but since also carrying a pair of pliers, saw, etc. My arsenal has increased to a full toolbox, all in one package. Most notably is the time I replaced a section of control cable, armed only with the Leatherman, in less time than it took to identify the fault and call for an electrician.
I started carrying the Leatherman because I saw it used on the site, but now more people use them outside of mechanical uses.

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.
