Multi-Tools - Leatherman

Dogoid · 18 Feb 2008 at 13:03

Got given a leatherman Fuse last night by my cousin, i dont know anything about mult tools and what's quality or not , but i must say this little thing seems to be well made and tough.

came with a led light also and a leather belt case. the irony here is that to open up the ******* plastic bubble wrap, you would need one of these.

Anyone any experiences with this brand? reliable?

oh and whats the law about the blade on it, as it locks.

cheers

I've got a leatherman, had it for 5 years now and I cannot fault it one bit. Its got everything I need (screwdrivers, pliers, knife, scissors, corkscrew) and its even got a saw on it!

in them 5 years has the knife retained its sharpness?

christ , i would never pay the kind of money these tools retail for over here .

cousin works in b+q and he said the fuse which he gave me, retails for 50 notes.

maybe because the dollar is weak and they're imported, not sure, even so, you would have to be a professional outdoorsman in my mind to warrant forking out at those costs.

just tested the knife cutting a orange, and nearly cut my arm off. sharp is a understatement.

i think he means it would be unreasonable to bring one out with you clubbing etc

its a stupid law because people who are likely use a instrument like this to injure people, are people who think they will not get caught at the time of the act.

its no deterrent at all and there should be a law to ban chav mothers having chav babies.
