I was a committed Swiss Army knife user and it saved the day during many a gig and session. But my daughter took a shine to it and it was never then where I expected it to be so I let her keep it. On a subsequent trip to Boston I saw the Leatherman and treated myself to it and I must say that I'm now a complete convert to it from the SAK, I think the design and engineering are far better. I also keep a Leatherman Micra in my pocket which is used many times every day. Being a fanatic for such gadgets, I also keep a Topeak McGuyver 33-function Tool in my work bag (especially as I usually cycle to work and it has many useful bicycle tools on it).

I like the Gerber multitools as well but Lady McMoo will kill me if she finds any more of these things (or cameras or musical instuments for that matter) in the house!

If I'm not mistaken, there was a factory for tools of this type in Pictou, Nova Scotia, which I visited one time. Was that Gerber or another manufacturer as I can't remember the make now.

Best regards
