Maintenance Tech
I work in the maintenance department at a hospital. I have used my Leatherman on several occasions in the Emergency room when the tools the nurses have just won't work.
On one occasion a young man came into the E.R. with a wooded shingle stapled to his hand. The cutters the nurses had could not cut the shingle or the staple. I used the wire cutters on my Wave to split the shingle and then cut the staple. I have also used my Charge to disassemble a ski boot to get it off of a broken foot.
I have owned a Leatherman tool for 15 years and have enjoyed them all. I just purchased a Leatherman Hybrid and look forward to using it.

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.
