Ha, ha, ha! Very funny. Don't be ridiculous.

My factory BMW "tool kit" is actually just a credit application form..... so one can afford the $500 oil change and head re-torquing. :clown:

Good things to have
 

A plug to wash your cloths in hotels and a bunggy clothsline which is sold in most good outdoor shops.

That's what I thought, but it's not a snug fit and doesn't extend it very far. Well, you live and learn...

kwak toolkit
 

I always thought the squashed end was for inserting the screwdriver bits into. And the other end is the spark plug remover (as mentioned earlier).

what a classic! always good when you burst out laughing at work and everyone looks at you in wonderment....

most useful piece of kit: leatherman wave, (better than the early ones as it doesn't cut your fingers off when your trying to cut wire thicker than what you should be. The metal is rounded on the wave). and a shite load of wire and cable ties.

least useful: too many clothes...

I have that problem too.

are we still talking about the same thing?

I am seeing that Leatherman is a top tool for most people but I have a question: If we have a comprehensive toolkit with the tools that the Leatherman has in it, is the Leatherman still useful?

Of course it is. Beacuase you can put it in your pocket and have it with you at all times. So when a dartboard falls off the wall in a bar, you can put it back up and continue playing (this actually happened to me).

Only if you can hang your toolkit on your belt.

-that is what makes those multitools so practical, always only one reach away-

I am contemplating welding a hammer head on the end of a crescent wrench [adjustable spanner] .
It's neolithic properties appeal to the inner me .

Then if I can't fix the bike , I can always beat it to death .

Best bit of gear i take with me is my girlfreind ( she keeps me well fed ) worst bit, were to start, all the stuff i have to take out of my panners to find the thing i'm looking for. Skip

My most is my Trangia stove(for cooking Mate and coffe) my least so far........my first aid.(lucky enough)

Lotsa useful stuff but the thing I use the most is probably gaff tape. Reckon I could complete a valve job in the desert with a roll - it would have to be the silver one.

Most useless: those stupid little gas cyclinders that are supposed to fill a flat tyre.

Do you mean the ones with tyre weld in them? I agree, total rubbish. Used one a while back, got me about 10km before the tyre blew again. Far too bulky to be worth carrying with you.
