Broke my Leatherman today.

I won a raffle in 2008 I think.

The first prize was a gift card which I used to buy the most expensive leatherman that was available in the store at the time.

I have used it so much and still somehow taken way too good care of it. Never abused the blades. I bet the tool I have used the most have been the pliers and the screwdriver.

The leather holster that I used occasionally looks still almost like new.

Cutting hot dog buns for kids when out and about, fixing my bike…

F for respect 🫡

just remember kids: the multi tool is only appropriate when no other tool is available

I see people abuse these things at work all the time, and I'm baffled that they refuse to just carry the correct tool, when they know what repeatable actions they take throughout the day.

    Which is why my EDC includes actual pliers and an actual knife and multiple wrenches and shears, tape measure, speed square, box tape, masking tape, safety glasses, spider key, and you know what my hips hurt.

    None of the above was a joke.

    How much did the pocket dimension cost?

    Also both a small and a large adjustable spanner. I can't tell you how many times I've been glad I had the adjustable because it was the only spanner I had on me.

    I would rather have a ratchet set, but 2 pieces versus 30 for the same job is hard to choose the 30 (even tho if you do it wrong the adjustable will strip your bolts)
