Item 6 – Leatherman Pulse*                                                                                       SCORE 21                                               MSRP: $50

There are a lot of good multi-purpose tools out there but I’m partial to Leatherman the original American made multi-purpose tool. I bought the Pulse because it has locking tools that makes them extra safe. There are number of current models with locking blades. My Leatherman is something I used every day for numerous purposes. It is kind of heavy for a knife but it is oh so versatile. I wouldn't consider going on a trip without it. Oh, and if you’re considering buying a cheap knock off, before you do,  be sure to watch the movie 127 Hours.


FINAL EVALUATION:  Indispensable! Heavy for a knife but so much more than a knife.

I find my Leatherman “original” to be indispensible too. It is always on my belt, except when I am in the city and going to places with metal detectors. I’ve learned that the hard way. When I don’t have it with me I notice. I am on my third one: after years of great service I forced my first one to do more than it was designed for and it broke. The Leatherman Company replaced it free of charge even though I admitted how I had abused it. The second one I lost; a casualty of opening one to many beers with it and leaving it behind. When I open bottles with the new one I put it right back in the belt case. Lesson learned. Great tool; wouldn’t be without it.

They may be coming out with Leatherman that his a little tiny barometer on it.

But then again, as Dylan said, "Ya dont need a Leatherman to know which way the wind blows."

Whaaaaahahahahahahahahahahhaaaaa!!!!!!!
