Daddy to the Rescue

I love my Leatherman knives. I have a Wave and a pocket knife. I use them everyday. I always have both of them on me everyday.

My 5 year old son was riding a Case peddle tractor I received as a gift when I was 1. He loves the tractor as much as I did. One day he came running in to the house with tears running down his cheeks. I asked him what was wrong and he looked at me through wet eyes and said, "My tractor won’t go. It is broke." Well, I went to see what I could do. I found out the bolts holding the peddles on were loose allowing the chain to slip off the sprockets. Using the pliers to hold the nut, I used the screwdrivers to tighten them down. I put the chain on and told my son I was done and his tractor was fixed. He jumped right on and as he peddled away I heard him shout back, "Thank you, Daddy." That was the best compliment I have ever had when using my Leatherman to fix anything. I will never forget that day.
