Leatherman has a new library/gallery on their site with pictures of all kinds of neat stuff.  Factory pictures, tool pictures, even pictures of Tim Leatherman at the side of the road with his old Fiat!  Well worth checking out!

I wonder if the good folks in Torino realize they had a hand in creating a new market segment outside of automobiles?

I doubt it, but I think there should be a Fiat Edition Leatherman produced!  Maybe a Kick in honor of the number of times Tim Leatherman kicked and swore at the old car? :P

Would the Fiat edition Leatherman fall apart or break at inopportune times?

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the original PST was named in honor of Tim's experience with the Fiat.

(to recognize how often he was PSTed off at it!)  :)

I liked that one too, but it kind of made me wonder if there was a picture of Mr Leatherman in his garage somewhere with "Leatherman Tool Group" finger painted on an old sheet hanging on the wall!

I tried zooming in on some of the other tools. I think some of them are stamped Pocket Survival Tool By Tim Leatherman, Portland, OR. Even Cooler.

If those are the things that are on display, imagine what Tim Leatherman has under glass in his office!
