Built Tough Enough for Prison

I am a Prison Guard, and I'm also responsible for maintaining all the "hard" security at my facility. Problems with locks, keys, bars, doors, fences, etc., I'm the guy you call. With inmates conspiring everyday to jam locks, sabotage doors, and compromise security gates, it's a busier job than you might think.

I used to have a toolbox that I carried with me, until I got my Leatherman Charge TTi! I use this thing EVERY DAY. From extracting foreign objects from keyways, to stretching fencing, and even prying metal doorways back into place this tool does everything. I have used it as a makeshift drill, and one night it even saved a life when I used it to cut down an inmate who had hung himself. I'll never be anywhere without it.
