Title: Leatherman Bolsters
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on January 22, 2022, 11:22:13 PM
If any US based members are willing to grab a couple Leatherman Bolsters from Costco, I'd be happy to cover the costs.

Hey man I’m heading to Costco today. I’ll check and see if they have it. Costco locations vary with their inventory so we’ll have to see.

Exactly how many do you want?

I am probably a bit late, but I'd take 2-3 if they are available.

They ran out anyway. They had the price sign but they had flashlights  instead. The associate did say more will arrive. I’ll check again when I get a chance. Sorry. Must be a popular model.

Curious though, why get them? They seem like entry level tools. I would think the Rebar would offer more in a compact form.

The only thing that would make me get them is that for $40 and a lifetime warranty it’s an incredible value. Something I wouldn’t mind lending and losing. But there are better tools out there.

They had been closing them out at $20.  I have little interest in them other than that are an exclusive that isn't available at Costco in Canada.  Kind of like wanting something just because someone says that you can't have it.   :D

Understood!!! I asked cause I wasn’t sure if I should grab a few myself.

I’ll keep an eye out Sir for you.

I am not sure when I can go by the Costco I bought my Bolsters from. But I can order them online for $44.99 (I think they charge $5 for shipping).
Title: Re: Leatherman Bolsters
Post by: Old Boy on January 25, 2022, 03:00:39 AM
In mine it’s $40 in-store and $45 online.
Title: Re: Leatherman Bolsters

The same for me. I paid $40 each for the 2 Bolsters I bought in-store.

My Costco was out of Bolsters. No sign they were ever in the store.

I think I saw the Bolster in my Costco once, a few months ago. I visit Costco weekly, always keep an eye on the fable .97 ending prices. I dont recall seeing them at $20.

Hello Sir,

I had the time to go to Costco. Looks like they no longer sell it. Sorry. But maybe other members can chime in.

Hello Sir, they are back in stock. Cheaper as well. Now $30. Are you still looking for 1? I can head back to Costco and ship it out though may need some guidance on how to ship outside of US.

Ok that was quick, just saw them 2 days ago and now it’s gone. I’m going to try another location but it may be either tomorrow or this weekend.
Sorry brother.  I should have grabbed them when I saw it.

No worries. Glad I found them.  The other Costco was along my work commute.

Anyway the 3 MTs are locked and loaded. Just waiting for the address👍

Just don't mention what you used to run all over town for, when you were younger and more flexible.

I feel like there’s a good story there somewhere. The kind that needs alcoholic lubrication to tease out.  :pok:

That's exactly the story.  Grant never needed alcohol to misbehave in these ways.

I have to admit it. You are the most handsome man that I have ever seen.
Dreamy is an understatement

I might add that the photo sure does remind me of the early 2000's. Not so much the 90's

No way.  I think you were right on time with that style.  If you looked like the guy in my avatar in the 90's, that would have been insane.

My eyes keep getting wider and wider with this thread.

Too bad we are all widespread. Would be nice if we all met up with other members.

Post by: Grant Lamontagne on December 09, 2022, 11:04:22 PM
We used to do meet ups.  The Brits used to do one every year, pre-pandemic, and we had the odd NA meetups as well.  I went to Maine and met a bunch of members, I believe Mr. Whippy did one at his home in New England (I believe Maryland?) and there was another done at the Leatherman factory, where members were given a tour and treated like royalty.

There may have been more but I can't recall everything we've done over the past 16 years.

I am actually supposed to be touring much of the US right now on a job, but it kind of fell through.

Here's a link to the Sebago meet.  It was so long ago that three of the members there have since passed away.  I'm glad I had the opportunity to spend time with them.

Sounds like everyone had fun!
