2nd Hand Leatherman Super Tool

I'm from Malaysia. 1st, I know about Leatherman tools from my friend; he showed me everything about Leatherman tools. After that every day I dreaming of owning one. In Malaysia, a Leatherman tool is very expensive. In 1997, a Super Tool cost around RM 450, but my salary was only around RM700.00; not enough to buy it. Since the cost of living in Kuala Lumpur is high, every month I would save RM20 & RM30 to buy a Super Tool. Finally, December 2001, my friend sold a Super Tool to me for RM270.

Until now, I used Super Tool & carried it every time & everywhere. The Super Tool was part of my life.

Last year, 2008, I was with my friend and his family and we went to waterfall for a picnic. With my Super Tool, I made money container from bamboo; my friend was surprised at how I cut the big bamboo with such a small tool . . . and I showed my friend ... Leatherman Super Tool ... I made a money container and gave it to my son’s friend. Many times I have solved problems with the Super Tool while camping and fishing, or working on my motorcycle & my old car.

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.
