Tool Tales

January 2008

Goodbye to Romance

I’ve been using a Leatherman Wave since 2002 and every time my motorcycle broke I fixed it with my Wave. Over the years my Leatherman broke in some parts, like the screw drivers, but it didn’t matter to me because it still works great.

I live in Peru, and it’s too expensive to buy one in the States and be have it delivered here. One day my father offered to exchange my Wave with a brand new Gerber Tool. I didn’t know what to do, until a friend of mine convince me to accept my fathers offer. So I did it. Now I regret it so much. That Gerber Tool doesn’t work for nothing; I hate it so much and miss my Wave so damn much!!! Now I’m looking forward to buying a Leatherman Charge ALX. I think the Charge ALX will work better than the Wave for my needs.

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.
