Construction Workhorse

Father and son pair, working construction with an old Leatherman Supertool 200 and a Core (both still going strong - a testament in and of itself).

The knives cut roofing felt no problem and both the Supertool and the Core have been put to use performing automotive repairs, camping tasks and other everyday uses. Neither of us leave home without them.
