The First Leatherman in Alaska [Posted on 2003-05-22]
I bought my first Leatherman in 1987, and received a second this Christmas. When the only tools you have are those on your person, a stainless steel Leatherman multi-tool is hard to beat. It will not substitute for heavier tools in a standard work environment, but my first tool still looks good after a number of years working in the saltwater environs of coastal Alaska. As many will tell you, in a survival situation, most often the only tools for survival are those attached to your body. As such, the habit of packing a PST on my belt provides a bit of comfort in venturing forth.

Simply The Best [Posted on 2003-09-23]
If your wondering which brand to buy between Leatherman And SwissTool etc. well can I just suggest you watch any programs on Discovery Channel about explorers or adventure sports participants and see which one they chose. I have only seen leatherman.

I personally have owned the PST for about 4years and only recently had the misfortune of chipping the head on one of the screwdrivers from well a little misuse (opening a screw that was to big for the head) I sent it back to leatherman and they not only fixed the driver but sent me a whole new tool in replacement which means all the wear and tear such as a slightly blunt blade are now all gone.

I like the new 20th aniv. Wave so I just bought it along with the P4 which is a cool little keying, lets just hope they serve me as well as the PST has and will continue to do.

Letherman, The Original and Still The Best [Posted on 2003-10-17]
I received my first Leatherman PST in 1994. I have carried it almost everyday since. If I forget it at home, it is like leaving the house without your watch, you soon realize just how frequently you use it.

The only negative thing I can say about this tool, is that the blades and the screwdrivers don't lock in place. This is less critical with the blades because you push against the blade and it stays put. However, the screwdrivers do need to be locked down when you are cranking hard on a stuck screw. The tool will sometimes close up, pinching your fingers (this is the reason I give the PST 4 stars instead of 5). You can tighten the hinge to prevent this, but then the tool is harder to open and close, and hinders single handed operation.

****UPDATE 10/20/03 My PST is from 1994. I "believe" the newer PST has a different type of screwdriver, that is angled to reduce the possibility of it closing up on you (But I still like the Wave better)****

The best way to deal with this is to get the better Leatherman; the Wave. It has locking screwdrivers and is more comfortable in your hand when clamping down on the pliers. Not to mention it has more features.

If you are a "tinkerer" or "a fixer" type person, you need a Leatherman. Trust me, get the wave, you will own it forever and you won't regret it.

I am a professional and often wear business attire, the belt case hides nicely right next to my beeper. If I lost my Leatherman right now, I would stop on my way home and pick up another one.

Wondeful little tool [Posted on 2004-11-04]
Put your Swiss Army Knife dreams to rest and instead buy this handy little tool, that packs convienance and utility into a package that's a mere 4" by 2" and comes with a sleek carrying case.

I've had Victorinox tools before, and sure they look nice, but they can't hold a candle to the Leatherman in terms of sheer utility. The leatherman includes a knife, a file, scissors (effective, sharp scissors at that), several screwdrivers of varying sizesin both Phillips and Slothead, a bottle-opener, and of course the integral pliers and wire-cutter.

The tool is stong, the wire-cutters can cut through metal (I was bored and chewed through some pennies), and more importantly, very safe. When using the knife or screwdrivers, one does not have to worry about applying too much pressure and forcing the blade down on a finger, for closing the tool with the blade outside prevents injury. Highly reccomended.

Best ever : Till I lost it : again [Posted on 2007-06-17]

ok...I bought three of these and I keep losing them. I even engraved my name on the last two but honest people are not finding them.

Leatherman is so much better than gerber. I say this because..well...they are made in Portland, OR! he he he...The tool is solid. I use it for residential electrical work and it has everything I need. I will always have a leatherman at my side until I die.

Gerber is junk. Faulty hinges, dull blades, poor quality and unfriendly ergonomics. You'll see.

If you are on the fringe of decision, you GOTTA get the leatherman. Its so smooth and they get BETTER with age. They loosen up and become even more fun to wield.

Just remember that if you use it for electrical work, it's ALL METAL so you are hosed if you touch your 100a main with it.
