The Ultimate Leatherman?

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?"

good... but never able to replace my toolbox by teksno · 2005-06-04 05:47 · Score: 3, Insightful

i work comm maintence for the usaf and i use my wave letherman almost daily...

but for what you are talking about...i have neither seen, nor heard of anything like that. i think your best bet would get a smal toolbox and go buy the tools you desire/require.

lethermans werent made for use in specialzed areas...they are just a general purpose tool that was designed for quick fixes. it was never intended to replace the quality or flexibility of a good set of tools.
