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.

Longtime Companion

I got my first Leatherman tool by redeeming Marlboro miles. At that time it was called the Leatherman tool. It was the only variation available. I had carried cub scout knives, Boy Scout knives and Swiss army knives since I was eight years old. The Leatherman tool was so well made and useful that I was very impressed by it. I used it for fishing, camping, to tighten loose screws and numerous other tasks.
 
Unfortunately, it disappeared, so I immediately went out and purchased a replacement (the same tool and still the only version available). I still have that tool, though it is retired. Since then I have purchased fourteen Micras, a Wave, two Kicks, and a Blast, as well as a Gerber, Buck, Schrade, and Victorinox Multi tool. Though some of these others have good points, none compare to the quality and craftsmanhip of the Leatherman products. I always have a Micra in my pocket, a Kick in my tackle box and on my bicycle, and a Wave in my car console. Thank you for making a qualityand versatile "long time companion".
