Battle Tested
I have had Leatherman products in the past, but never realized its full potential until I was activated to service in Operation Enduring Freedom in Kandahar, Afghanistan. It was there that I purchased in the local PX/BX the "Crunch" model. I must tell you that you would not believe how many jams this tool has gotten me out of. It has probably saved my or other peoples lives in the process of using this fine tool such as holding battery wires to a broken terminal to be able to drive a vehicle to a safe location or pinching hydraulic lines to keep from leaking or really just--whatever- because I kid you not, I used this tool for everything from opening tuna-fish cans to vehicle and weapons maintenance. Unfortunately, someone else figured out this same potential of my Leatherman and it was stolen out of my car upon my returning to the states. My wife since then purchased the "Wave" model which is still great, but just isn’t the same as my "Crunch" I once had. I gotta tell you, that is one damn fine tool.

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.
