The Ultimate Leatherman?

Posted by Cliff on from the tools-for-your-belt dept.

numbski asks: "I have long been a fan of the Leatherman tool and its act-a-likes. I have never bought one, however. I keep looking for just the right one with the tools that I would actually use on a daily basis. Sure, the pliers, knives, phillips and standard screwdrivers are nice, but there's always been a few things lacking. A t-10 and t-15 torx (security torx preferred) for the Compaq systems that torment me, or how about a USB2 Flash Drive? Hex wrenches, or a socket tool that fits machine screws (in case the phillips has been stripped out)? What would you put on a Leatherman? Even better, seen anything that matches what I'm looking for?"

    Say what you will, but there is no changing my mind that David is the ultimate Leatherman.

    Um, what was the question?

    When is the Leatherman going to include a fleshlight?

    Might look funny strapped to your waist, though.

    A stiletto switchblade.

    Every time I unpack boxes, I wish that I had a stiletto switchblade. To have one on a Leatherman tool that can do everything else I need would just kick ass.

    Are they afraid you're going to dismantle the plane over Nova Scotia?
