Eye surgery!!
Dear Sir/Madad
I am an eye doctor working in southern Ethiopia and have a main clinic, and then I do rural visits out in the bush. These clinics require me to pack up the Land Rover with equipment and a check list of equipment. Last week I did one such clinic and everything was going well until a lady walked in that had a sight threatening problem that needed immediate excision.
When I went to look for my scalpel I found that my assistant forgot to pack blades, all I had was the handle. The only knife I had was the knife on my Leatherman Blast. Well it worked brilliantly and saved this ladies vision. I had only recently started carrying it regularly and now it is fastened every day on my belt. THANK YOU for this great tool and your continued commitment to quality. The lady will probably never know your trademark, but your efforts saved her vision.
Thanks again,
Dr. Bowers

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.
