Tool Tales

September 2007

My First Leatherman Tool

Having just completed a two day training session for the CERT, which stands for “Citizen Emergency Response training”, offered by the Colorado Springs, Co. Office of Emergency Management and taught to us by the local Fire and Police departments, I thought I'd better get a tool that would serve me in an emergency situation should it arise. So my wife and I went to the local Target store to shop.



While walking down the aisle, I looked at the displays of knives & tools & thought there would be no better way to prepare myself than to have the best tool I could find to help me. So I bought the best tool I thought would do the job - your “Surge” tool I'm sure will fit the bill. Thanks for making a great product available.

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.
