Hello from the Texas panhandle.
on: May 24, 2021, 10:42:15 PM
Howdy MTO!
Been lurking around off and on for a few years but I'm finally registered. Interest in repairing an older Gerber multiplier and possibly modding some other LM and Gerbers got me digging deeper here.

My first MT was a very early non locking Gerber that I carried for years. Not sure what happened to that first one but it was replaced with a 5th generation, on which my wife at the time promptly broke the cap lifter. Carried that one for a while until I discovered the MP600 Pro Scout.

I vaguely remember seeing Leatherman back in the day but it was Gerbers sliding pliers that got my money, still love'em.

Fast forward a few decades. I misplaced my Gerbers and got to looking at new MT's. Enter my first Leatherman the Surge, wow. More recently I discovered the OHT which is another great tool with my favorite Gerber feature.

Anyway here I am now. Current MT accumulation consists of Gerber MP and MP600, a SOG Powerpint (cause why not), Leatherman Surge, OHT, Free P2 (couldn't pass up the bargain) and on the way is a 300M.

Looking forward to joining in the discussions.
Hope everyone has a great day.

I'm about 20 miles from the Canadian. It can be beautiful especially with the rain we've had lately. Great books as well.

Traveled to Colorado Springs a lot to visit family until they moved recently. Now I'm trying to make up reasons to go back, the kids loved it.
