Which Leatherman Multitool?

[JJ]

I always go by the phrase:  "Less is more..."    Maybe just the basic one like this...(???)

I have an original leatherman, and I like it. It will hurt you if you're not careful with it as it's blades/accy don't lock.

I LOVE the Gerber Multi Plier. Carried'em on multiple deployments and MC trips. Won't go in a pocket tho.

The other thing I liked better about the Gerber was a flick of the wrist opened the pliers. Very handy one handed operation.

I have the original which I bought new.  I like it so much that I almost missed a flight because of it.  Returning home from a family vacation in Nevada I was carrying my backpack which my son had used on a hike.  He left the Leatherman in an inside pocket which I was unaware of.  TSA found it and gave me two options.  Lose it or go to the airport post office and mail it to myself.  I told the lady I'd had it for 30+ years and wasn't going to relinquish it so off to the P.O.  They were at lunch and by the time they returned and I got it posted and ran back to security and my gate at McCarren Airport I was about the last one to board.

I also have had one close to 40 years that I sent back to get rebuilt twice over the years. The last time(3rd) they informed me that this model was obsolete and there were no new parts left. I asked if they would attempt to replace the worn out parts with better used parts, which they did but told me it would be the last rebuild for it and I’d have to go to a different model. Soooo, since then I found another at a local gun show which I got for 30 bucks. Im 67 so between two, I should make it to the end. I hope Saint Pete will allow me to enter the golden gate with my leatherman tool 🙏
