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.

Talking 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 ?

Smile 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

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
