In the latest episode of the Mythfits podcast they remember Grant Imahara, who's birthday is (or would have been) tomorrow. Tory and Kari have a few of the Mythbusters cast and crew send in videos to tell stories of the late, great Grant Imahara, and in one, they talk about the time Leatherman supplied them all with some multitools. It's worth a listen:
It's especially interesting to me, because I have heard this story from the Leatherman end- according to a former LM marketing manager I knew, filming for the Mythbusters was on an open set, in that much of it was open to the public to watch live, at least in the early days. Someone at the Leatherman factory was talking about having seen one of the Mythbusters using a tool, and that sparked an idea- the marketing manager grabbed a bunch of tools from their stock, flew to San Francisco to watch them shoot, and left the giant box of Leatherman tools behind.
The Marketing Manager didn't mention that Jamie preferred the Victorinox Spirit, but carried it in a Leatherman case.
Also, as a bonus for the episode, I have googled the video they suggest you Google immediately:
You should definitely watch this one! If that doesn't put a smile on your face today, nothing will!
