Watched one of my new favorite shows last night - Fringe.

Excellent show in the X-files vibe.

Anyway, one of the characters - Peter Bishop used a Leatherman Skeletool to open a door with the blade and then used the pliers to pry open a secret passage.

I yelled to my wife when I saw the Skeletool and she just gave me a "sigh".

It's definitely the first I've seen.

If it's the first of all time.....I get credit!

Sorry dude, you need a screen shot for proof before we can etch your name in the trophy.

You can go to Fringe's website and watch the entire episode if you want. It's episode 3.

I would recommend the show, it's great fun! Some creepy stuff too.

There was never a really clear shot of it, but I think these two screenshots should prove that it is a Skeletool.

Yup, definitely a Skeletool!

No problem. Collecting SAK/multitool scenes in TV shows and movies is kind of a hobby of mine.

Man, I really need a new hobby.

What other screen shots do you have? Any from MythBusters?

cgjones · **Reply #10 on:** September 26, 2008, 07:00:08 PM

I don't actually collect screenshots. I collect the full videos and then grab screenshots when I need them. I stopped collecting MythBusters episodes because they use their multitools so frequently. I still have a few episodes, if there is a specific scene you are looking for.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #11 on:** September 26, 2008, 07:02:38 PM

Do you have any shots of them using Charge tools?

cgjones · **Reply #12 on:** September 26, 2008, 07:08:20 PM

I might be able to find some. It may not be this weekend though, I'm off to Pennsylvania to visit my brother and attend a knife show.

I have a couple of episodes of Sledge Hammer with SAKs in them.

Never heard of that show before, but based on the Wikipedia entry, it sounds pretty funny. What format are the episodes you have?

Viking · **Reply #15 on:** September 27, 2008, 05:10:10 AM

Sledge Hammer is a classic. I remember watching that show with my brother and laughing my butt off!

Roadie · **Reply #16 on:** September 27, 2008, 10:38:41 AM

I've got a couple of screenshots of SAK's to upload but haven't had chance recently. One from Black Books and one from NCIS. Will try and get them up tonight at some stage

Well by golly I'll bet that WAS the first Skeletool to make it on the screen! Good spot Viking!
