as far as im concerned LEATHERMAN is the only brand of multi-tool and i am hard to please.this is coming from a scrapyard,tops,rangerknife kind of guy.LEATHERMAN is the 1/4in thick,sr101,res-c version of a multi-tool imho.i never got the big deal about multi-tools either.then one day i was contemplating the needs and purposes of my BOB and started thinking how usefull one could be,went out and bought one and now wont go into the woods without it after using it and realising how usefull it is.now im hooked.you can feel the quality in your hand when you hold it.if you dont want to become addicted dont take that first hit ha ha <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
