The Blast is Up to the Task

You wouldn't think that someone working in a grocery store would need a good solid multi tool, but you'd be wrong. I worked in a grocery store for several years and bought a Leatherman Blast for the work. Every day I used my Blast to do everything from cutting open dozens of boxes, to repairing shopping carts, even fixing up broken checkout stations; once I even used the saw blade to trim up a tree branch that was hanging too low.

Sadly I did manage to break the lock mechanism opening an extremely thick carton, but a quick email to Leatherman, a trip down to the UPS store to ship the tool out for repair and I had my old friend repaired and ready for more work. They even replaced the eyeglass bit I had lost about a year or so back. I still use the Blast every day at work. Thank you, Leatherman, for making such an excellent tool.
