For work that’s one thing, but from what I read here, there’s a whole bunch of people running around with multitools on their belts in their private time.
I use the knife a lot, mostly for opening the bag of pellets for the pellet stove and opening Amazon boxes. Yesterday I was using my chainsaw about 1/8 mile from the house. The chain slipped off the drive sprocket. Out came the Leatherman and the pliers pulled the chain back into place. Saved me at least 10 minutes not driving back to the house for the tools.
Last week a little kid had a birthday party at the park. He got a remote control car, but nobody in his party had a screwdriver to open the battery compartment. I was at a nearby table and heard his predicament. Leatherman to the rescue!
A few years ago I stepped on a nail while hiking. It went through the sole of my shoe and into my foot, pinning it inside. The Leatherman let me pull out the nail so I could remove the shoe and tend to the wound. It would have really sucked hobbling 4 miles with a nail in my foot!
My buddy also wears a Leatherman. Before cell phones became common, he was walking alone on a steep hillside when he slipped and tumbled over a retaining wall that was under construction. He ended up suspended from the wall by a spike of rebar through his arm. He used the metal saw to cut the rebar. He credits the tool with saving his life, because who knows how long it would have been before someone else came along.
