Tool Tales

October 2009

Long Term

I have owned just about every Leatherman model made. I have used them as a MAJOR backup when I was a contractor, as often you just can't carry everything you need in a tool pouch. Since my first basic Leatherman, I have seen improvements in your products and have enjoyed almost every change, with the exception of the add-on bits, as they usually get left behind or lost in tool boxes.

Your WAVE model is the main one I carry now, and after the tip broke off, I used a bench grinder and rounded the ends and it is still going strong. I am, however, having to send in a CORE model because the lock clip of one side had broken.

Keep up the good work...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.
