Just bought this:




To replace my beloved and missing Leatherman Skeletool CX.

Frivolous as I've already got 3 or 4 swiss army knives and a Leatherman Crunch.

Like the look of these. Nice fire starting tool you'll never use!

[jimmyjimjim]

I hope I never have to use it!

The main selling point to me was that you can use it as a hammer, which pretty much makes it a complete toolkit.

Every time I see someone post up one of those multi tool thingies, I think "must get me one of those" but just before I press "pay" I think " what am I actually going to do with it?" and back out. so my question to all you multitool fans is.......what do you actually use it for?

Talking of fools and their money, today I bought a pair of these. Went in for a pair of Fairtex, but these were just so soft and lovely (coz that's what you look for in boxing gloves).

I have a nice one in the car, used it for opening packages! Ha. Until the flood then used it a lot when clearing out.

I have a small Leatherman on my keys though and I use that a lot. Handy having little scissors... And a nailfile for when you need to be a and show utter contempt for the organiser in a meeting that's a waste of time and going on too long!

But they're... green. That seems wrong.

Chap at work is a Manc. with an Addidas fetish, he was frothing at the bit over the article.

Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...!

I use mine when we go camping and often when crabbing on Cromer Pier. I think mine was about a fiver from Aldi though.

I use my Leatherman Wave almost daily about the house. Today it was cutting the heavy plastic bands on a package. Yesterday popping a stuck lid on a tin of paint, and sawing a piece of ptfe pipe.

Such a great thing that I've used far more than I thought I ever would.

Good on you! I got, after fees, less than I paid for my spare Fallout 4 PipBoy Edition but never mind.

But that's the game you play with supply, demand, and desirability.

Is a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta really worth £23 million? As a car, maybe not. As an investment? Well, clearly yes, because somebody paid that.

So to the people poo-pooing those making a killing on these trainers... jokes on you. Very much so.

An original boxed one of these Ronco specials..

I agree with Sly fox... this German no drilling stuff is excellent.. though Sly there is a UK distributor:

The installation videos sound like Henning Wehn...

This is true I may have the same one as the op. Looked around for ages for one that looked like the chrome would last and was nice and solid.

Or go for this german one - https://shop.niewiederbohren.de/produkte/duschabla...
Bronze, and with easy fitting!.

I'm not sure you fully understand the point of this thread!

Your rather tragic mistake was pausing for thought before clicking on PAY . . .

This.

I use it all the time. I leave it on my desk at home, so if I need a tool, it's readily available.
