Tool Tales

January 2008

My Toolbox Thanks You, and My Pants!

In my profession, I carry around many different tools. I used to carry around a pouch with a knife, 2 screwdrivers, 3 types of pliers, and different sized hex heads. It weighed my pants down too much! It was time for that to change. I had my choice of multi-tools, but the first name that came to my mind was Leatherman.

I got my new style Wave last November. Since then, that pouch has become obsolete. With my lightweight Leatherman at my side, I finally stopped hiking my pants up every 20 seconds. I now carry around a Charge TTi (since everyone else has a Wave, and I want to be able to know which is mine if I put it down) and if I go one day without it, I feel incomplete.

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.
