I used to have an old trusty Gerber needle nose. The fact that you could open it one handed always made it more practical for me.
Now the complete and utter bastards masquerading as 'airport security' in a certain international airport decided that it was too dangerous for me to have as CHECKED luggage. The fact I was carrying a full trauma kit onto the aircraft, with needles, blades, shears plus some enough drugs to keep Keith Richards occupied for the weekend seemed to pass them by.
So I lost my most treasured possession. (Sentimental value, I'd taken that everywhere)
Oh well, another excuse to rush out and buy some new gadget.
I got tyhe new Gerber, which is now in a stylish flick knife style, but has the leatherman Wave style opening blades on the outside.
Problem is, closing the pliers back into the housing is a bitch. I prefer my old multi-tool really.
What other multi-tools are out on the market now that are worth recommending?
Duct tape is just like the Force - it has a light side and a dark side, and holds the Universe together.
