Leatherman Saved My Life

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.

Never Knew What I Was Missing!

I bought my first ever Leatherman Blast back in 2006. I had one other multi-tool before, but it was huge and had only a few tools. I had heard that Leatherman was like the best of the best when it came to multi-tools. So I finally decided to purchase the Blast after much deliberation over which one to get.

I have to say I can't imagine going a day without it. It is always on my side, whether I am working or wearing a suit to a formal event. There have been so many times where I needed a tool and my Blast has been right there ready to serve. It never ceases to surprise me on how strong the tools are. I remember one time trying to loosen some screws that I'm sure would have broken most other screwdrivers, but not so with my Leatherman.

It was with me when I traveled to Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. When I was in New Zealand, I forgot that I had it on me when I went through the security check point. Fortunately they did not confiscate it from me.

I have thought about buying another Leatherman, but at this point my Blast is so rock solid that I can't come up with an excuse to buy another one.

Thanks for making a great multi tool!
P.S. - If I do come up with a reason to buy another multi tool it will for sure be another LEATHERMAN!
