Hello!
on: May 02, 2008, 11:58:58 PM
Hi,

I'm Dave and I'm an alcoholic I've been lurking on this forum for a few months, so I thought I'd finally make the effort to register and say hi. So, err, hi!

I stumbled across multitool.org a few months ago, whilst looking for reviews on Leatherman tools. I found the review (and I honestly can't remember which one it was now) to be exactly what I needed, a non-biased, detailed and accurate account and I bookmarked it.

Then, I found myself coming back as my Leatherman collection grew and I was deciding which tool to acquire next.

So, here I am  :multi:

Leatherman tools "do it for me", and so far I've amassed rather a lot of different tools in my collection, along with copious amounts of sheaths and accessories. I'm Tim Leatherman's dream customer.  :)

I'll probably be around the Leatherman forum most, and will try to contribute to the forum if I can.

Just want to say thanks to the guys that run this site - keep up the good work!


I used to come here a lot.

Good to have you Dave!  The original concept of this site was to help folks decide what tool to buy.  The reality is that the site has become a way to help people decide what too to buy... next!

Welcome, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks for the welcome! I just realised there's a fair few questions on here so - here goes:

Benner - I'm only collecting Leatherman tools, (although I do have a couple of others that I've gathered over the years). I just counted and have 42 tools at the moment - lol.

Roadie - Thanks!

Leatherman123 - My favourite LM changes a lot - today its the Charge TTi. Or maybe the Crunch....

jock1 - lol - I'm already skint mate.

J-sews - safety in numbers!

duckman - haha.

Defender - I love the concept of the site - great job!

BIG-TARGET - too late! She's happy at the moment though as I used my Core to fix her garden furniture earlier!

WhichDawg - what would you like pictures of? I'll see what I can do!

Thanks for making me welcome guys - much appreciated!

Thanks  :multi:

I picked that 20th anniversary Wave up a few weeks ago on ebay - for a steal! The handles are quite badly worn, but the tool itself is in pretty good shape.

Just need me one of those Silver plated 25th anniversary charges now ;)

Yup, there's plenty more to get. Haven't got any of the painted micras yet either, so it will be a while (and a lot more cash) before I fill in the blanks there.

You like the way I've laid them out though? That's art that is.  :angel:

I do like the toolbox drawers with the foamy mesh in the bottom. Stuff doesn't slide around on it at all.  :)
