gerber suspension and leatherman blasphemy
on: September 05, 2011, 06:19:10 PM
I heard a coworker tell another he could use his leatherman tool so I turned around to see his wave (which I gave him a nice leather sheath to carry it) and I saw a gerber suspension in his hand. He then mentioned how this tool is better than his wave and referred to the gerber as a leatherman several times.
Ahhhhhh!

well there's no accounting for taste I suppose. :think:  In his defence there is some aspects of the Suspension that might appeal to him that the Wave doesn't do; sprung pliers and 100% outside opening tools come to mind.  Wouldn't be nearly enough to sway me, but everyone's different I guess.

As to the miss-naming, it only goes to show that the Leatherman name is totally synonymous with that style of MT. :)

Leatherman is akin to Xerox or Kleenex and I think for that they should be quite proud.

As for what he thinks is better, well that's why there are so many tools on the market.  To each his own, and if we all agreed on a tool then it would be a small market and we'd have a dull forum.

I had a similar experience with my father. I gave him a Spirit and he continued to carry around his old, beat up Schrade Tough Tool.  Despite the Spirit being "better" in every way, Dad didn't carry it because he liked the Tough Tool better. Of course I finally broke him off the Schrade by sending him a PowerAssist!

The funny thing is, had I ever gone into manufacturing (or marketing for a manufacturer) of consumer goods, I would have called it "Other Leading Brand" since there are already a thousand commercials out there featuring the "Other Leading Brand."

He then mentioned how this tool is better than his wave and referred to the gerber as a leatherman several times.
Ahhhhhh!

You should have deployed the Gibbs Head Slap!

On a less violent tangent,a workmate(the guy I'd given my Clutch to) was at a work placement in the performing arts.He was helping to stip down a set,when the foreman asked him for the Leatherman.Looking round he seen a multi,handed it over to be told 'Not a F**king Gerber,get the Leatherman!'

He's never made that mistake again!
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

I looked at an Ebay listing that said "Lot of four tools, leatherman, geber".  Ignoring the fact that the seller didn't capitalize the names of the tools, I noticed that there were two Gerbers and two no-name MT's in the listing.  I sent the seller a note asking where the Leatheman was.  He replied saying that he thought that leatherman was the generic name for multitools and that he wasn't aware that there was a brand called Leatherman.

He must live under a rock.

Seriously, I'm not that much of a purist, but I draw the line on models that are offered in 2WD.

But 2WD Jeeps have been around since 1955. And a great number of the mail Jeeps, both there and here, were 2WD for decades.

Yup, there were, but there's a BIG difference between a Willy's and a Compass or Patriot.

True, very true...

Although, I must say that the 4WD Compass with the "off road" package is quite impressive when you shift the transmission into low range (has a steel belt drive CVT transmission, and it can shift down to a 19:1 crawl ratio).  8)

I read the subject, read your reply, and had momentarily forgotten we were talking Jeeps.

I almost replied: "I don't think Gerber's are that bad..."
