    Featured Sponsor

    As a lines man. I've always carried a muti tool.
    I've tended to favour the leatherman ... But I got myself a. Gerber for christmas.
    The leather man has seen better days an ivebroken a few of the attachments.

    DO YOU GUYS carry one with ya at all times like me. ?

    Just wondering. Mine have got me out of trouble on so many ocassions I couldn't go up a ple now wuth out one. Or away on my bike either for that matter.

    Liking the gerber a lot at the moment. Think its time to retire the old leatherman.. Its had a hard life.

    Never owned a Swiss Army knife.... Poot.

    Question ? As the Swiss have never been to war. How effective would the Swiss army knive be
    in battle ?????????? Would the opposition flee when they saw the FIERCE ATTACHMENT " that gets stones from " horses hooves ". ?

    I squirm when I see all-metal multi-tools being used to interfere with electrical equipment as happens in the entertainment industry quite regularly. That said, I do have one and very occasionally interfere with electrical equipment with it too.

    Bren, are you aware that Leatherman tools really do carry a lifetime guarantee, even when quite seriously abused? I managed to snap a screwdriver and the tip of the pliers on a single stubborn task and sent it to the repair agent to see what would happen. I got a brand new Leatherman Core back.

    If you do decide to send your tool in for a warranty service you can send it to:-

    Whitby & Co.
    Aynam Mills
    Canal Head North
    Kendal
    Cumbria
    LA9 7BY

    They recommend packaging the tool securely and sending it by a recorded postage service without the sheath for some reason.

    You also send your name, return address, phone number and a description of the problems.

    Thanks Clive wouldn't of thought of sending it back ... I will do that post haste.

    Mind you I'm not so irish as to not put a return address on it . " sure how where would they know where to send it "

    And would they not know the problem by looking at the broken one I sent back, ?

    Anyway . I will lash that in the post ASAP.

    I never had a mulit tool as a Troubleshooter, but I did keep one on every motorcycle I took on long trips. Never know when something like that might come in handy.
    I also have one of the small Swiss Army knives with a knife blade, a file/screwdriver, a scissors, a tweezers and a tooth pick I share with wife on rare occasions
    I don't leave home without it
