How many Leathermans have you lost?

[Ingo]

I may have to start using that around my girlfriend lol

I've thought about getting a retractable tether but 1) not sure If they make one heavy duty enough, 2) it would constantly be swinging around

Unless they build a sheath a tether built in??

At first glance I thought you meant a retractable tether for your girlfriend. I was like,"who wants to be tethered to their woman like that".

Whelp. I seem to have misplaced my Skeletool CX. Which was the first Leatherman I purchased when I became a member of this site.

I don't think I've seen it since before we moved, I keep thinking I saw it somewhere but I've started to dig and haven't found it. 

Going to check in more places tomorrow, bags, toolbox, under truck seats, etc...

I have lost somewhere between 5 and 10 Saks and Chinese knockoffs (probably 90% knockoffs but I'm sure there was at least one or two real Vics) in my youth before I knew there was a difference. But in my adult life I have lost possession of 4 Leatherman tools.
I lost 2 Micras that fell out of my pocket I assume. I assume this on both because that is how I had to have lost one at my buddy's house into his couch which he found there a couple weeks later. I had already replaced it so I let him keep it. And I figured that was how the one before it got away.
I lost a Rebar from my sister's junkie boyfriend being a thief. At least that is what I believe, I'm almost positive he stole this and a Blue Angels edition Citizen watch. But he is dead now so I think I got the better end of that deal....
And finally about 15 years ago I left my Pulse in an apartment I was doing some repair work in, never to be seen again. I gotta get another one of those, either Pulse or Micra is my most favorite Leatherman I figure out how to decide.

One.

Red PS4 I lost some weeks ago in the Paklenica National Park while climbing. Noticed it after returning to the valley.

May someone find and use it.

Recently lost my beloved ST200 at work. Left it in a truck I was working on, so whoever “found” it, I wish them many years of ST goodness. The funny thing is, it’s been in my collection box and not carried for a few years since I’ve gotten my wave. I wanted to switch things up for a week, to my regret....

Lost another today. An original orange juice in my first aid kit got robbed, stole a backpack with my gloves and hat too, left the Leatherman Surge though.

The bastads!

That sucks !   

[BadMechanic]

I lost my leatherman carabiner and leatherman 6.
Cheap enough to replace. But I dont know what Id do if I had to replace a Surge, Wave or something like that. 

[toolguy]

I don't think I lost any Leatherman.

[NetsNJ]

Does the sense of loss at narrowly losing out on eBay count?

The only multitool that I've lost was a victorinox minichamp that was confiscated at at&t park in San Francisco.  I still kick myself, I easily could have left the security line, buried it in my wife's purse and been reentered the line.  I didn't think of it at the time.

In my experience Leatherman tools are hard to lost because it's a valuable item that you always have by hand in any case.
Most of the ones that I have "LOST" it's because somebody stole it from me!

[vadsoom]

I’ve never “lost” a tool, but...

Back when I was traveling 100,000 - 250,000 a year, over the period of 10 years,  9 of my Leatherman tools will pilfered from my check-in luggage. Joining them was also 11 butane soldering irons, various hand tools and an oscilloscope.

A few of the tools were wire tied to the inside of my luggage, but apparently, someone thought they needed them more than I did.

After the first few, I would take photographs of the contents and bag and verify everything was there the moment I picked them up. If anything was missing, it was an immediate trip to the airline luggage counter to file a claim.

"I also had a Squirt confiscated by the Secret Service" 

In the UK that would count as an "Intimate Sample" following arrest 

What on earth were you doing

Back in 2016 we needed a good laugh, so we went to the Trump rally that came to town. I always keep a Squirt in my wallet, and forgot about it. It really hurt having to hand that tool over.

Well, I suppose you could have given him a nasty manicure with the scissors (he already has a nasty haircut)

NB: I will, naturally, steer clear of political opinions here 

Could you not have returned it to your car or stashed it (after being busted) or was it a gun-point incident 

Seriously though, that would hurt me as well as they are between £45 - £55 here depending on where you look (about $56 - $69)

I didn't pay that much but it was still £35 ($44)

I could have returned it to my car, but it was a long walk with very long lines. It was also raining and cold. I thought hard about leaving but they were really pressing me. Not the nicest guys in the world. I bit the bullet and handed it over. It still bugs me to this day. I should have kept it. Oh well.
