Are Leatherman tools Australian?

I would consider the test results just plain wrong, but that's JMO.

we really need a salt water test! I know Dunc has done the Swisstool but we need others in it.

The website domain has a ".au" at the end, so I assume it's Aussie.

It said "This article last reviewed March 2004" and did you see the prices?

That's the true beauty of Multitool.org. We get reliable, real world, first-hand information from honest and knowledgeable people, why would we go any place else?

Well, I think they were sitting at a pub somewhere during a rain shower after one of their tests. Not sure when that pub closes, but they should be by any time now.

Gotta say though that their testing was quite extensive. Look at their "durability" test for instance:

Durability

To assess durability we clamped one handle of the tool in a vice and applied a sideways twisting force to the other handle 5000 times.

Depending on the extent of damage or distortion to the handles and/or jaws, we gave the multitools ratings from excellent to very poor.

5000 times?! This test must have went on for months!

Your browser probablly has built in upside down upside downing. I always had to turn my laptop when reading Aussie websites before Firefox 3 beta.

If you look at the rust test at the bottom,you know it wasn't done in the USA.

Hmm. That's Choice magazine. It's an Australian mag that promotes itself as providing unbiased reviews on pretty much everything, from cars to computers to kid's toys. Note that the Wave they're talking about is the old model.

looks about right, maybe the swiss tool should be further up.
