Tool Tales

November 2007

ATM Tech

I work for an armored car company and we service ATM machines. When we can’t fix them, we call out IBM techs. One individual never carries a tool box. The first time I met him I asked, “Where is your tool box?” He replied, “It’s in my pocket.” He took most of the ATM apart, and put it back together, using a Leatherman Wave. Now most of us at work own a Leatherman. I personally have a Wave and Micra for my keychain. I'm eyeing up the new Skeletool CX; maybe Santa will bring it for Xmas. Thanks Leatherman!

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.
