Title: Hello From N. Illinois
Post by: 1jump2many on September 19, 2009, 03:00:24 PM: Hi fellow multitool fans from N. Illinois. I've been lurking for quite some time now and decided to join it and learn. I've got a couple dozen multitools, mostly Leatherman but I love Victorinox's products as well. I bought my first Leatherman PST in 1990 while sitting in the desert heat of Saudi Arabia in the "hurry up and wait" mode during Operation Desert Shield. I found a hunting and fishing store catalog from someplace in Maine. Anything was worth reading and so while browsing through it I noticed the PST. I ordered it and it caught up to me a month later or so. I've had it ever since, although it's retired. This is a great forum.

I've been wanting to do a video on YouTube but 10 minutes isn't enough time and I don't want to do it in several parts. I'll have to take some pictures in the next week or so and post them.

Thanks for the welcome. 31 years is a very long time, I'm sure you miss it, thanks for your service. I see you were USAF. I was only in 8 and a half years. My second assignment was a joint unit on MacDill AFB. Great duty for a soldier. Yes, I was Airborne.
