Leatherman Saves My Day
So I am an EMT in Detroit. When we checked out our truck we had only one oxygen key; I had left mine at home. We got a house call for trouble breathing and when we got to the house and found our patient having hard time breathing, we loaded her on the stretcher and took off. My partner was driving and took a turn a little too fast and to my dismay the oxygen wrench went to parts unknown in the ambulance.
We finished our call and she was ok... the rest of the day I had to use my KICK to open and close our oxygen bottle. No biggy for it the head on the pliers fits perfecto. Thanks!

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.
