Leatherman, have had a PST2 for years, saved me many a time. So I thought it was time for an upgrade and bought the Wave. And now I carry my PST2 with me every where, it is small, has good screwdrivers compared to the Wave and has everything I need. And the Wave lives in my backpack.

Leatherman warranty
I have a leatherman Super and it works a treat. but a little bird also told me if you ever damage them send it back and they will replace it for free. Has anyone tried this ?

Leatherman Warranty
I busted the fine screwdriver on my PST2 recently, sent it in and they replaced the broken screwdriver no problems, even cleaned it, it looked like new. Not bad for a multi tool bought 8 years ago.

When will the imagination run dry for Multi-Tools?
Probably never. As posted earlier, just get a good brand.
I've been a Gerber fan, but Leatherman also pops the cap off.

I purchased the "fancy" titanium Leatherman, the Charge TTi, about a year ago. It's been a great tool, and I always carry it in my riding jacket. I like the fact that it's a bit lighter (being titanium) and the handles are substantial enough to get a good grip on. I see they now have one in aluminum as well; but I'm happy with my choice.

Two Gerbers
I have a mat black Gerber with blunt nose pliers and the stainless ones with pointed nose pliers and locking blades. No contest for me because they came free with my job.
Cheers
