a Redneck tool! I don’t chop firewood or gut fish too often. There was a time when I did, but now I’m a flat-foot in the Big Ole Windy City. So what’s a city dude like me going to do with a Leatherman? Everything thing you can think of. I started...

Cons: Stiff, takes a little time to break in

I hate carrying a ton of tools around with me. While working on the road here in Atlanta I oftentimes have to park a couple blocks away from a building and walk all of my tools and equipment to the job. Seeing as my job includes electronics as...

Cons: slightly heavy

When the Leatherman Supertool appeared on the market, I had been using the PST for several years already. Actually, I had used several PSTs because I would lay one down and it wouldn’t necessarily be there when I returned. I actually had two PSTs at...

A friend of mine, who is ex-military, was helping with some outdoor work and pulled out his Leatherman multi-tool. I had heard of them, but never seen one up close. He was amazed that I did not own one.

It was a couple of years later that I...

A few years back my wonderful sister gave me a Leatherman as a gift. I put it on my belt that Christmas day, and it has been my constant companion ever since.

Except on Airlines, where it now travels in a checked bag.

It is a...

Pros: Blades lock into place causing fewer accidents
Cons: HEAVY!!

If you have read my opinions on the Leatherman Micra and PST, you already know we have several of them around the house. I am fond of this tool, but I don't use it very often. It has a few features that are not offered on our smaller models.

Cons: more expensive than standard leatherman with same features, could use another blade

When people think "multipurpose knife" they automatically think "Swiss Army". Surely nobody can argue that the Swiss Army brand knives truly made the multi-purpose knife a household name. That doesn't mean that their hasn't been...
