View Full Version : besides Spyderco, what tools you carry?
I have a Leatherman Supertool every day,
the Wave is good but I still like ST.
Now my waistbelt will have more load:

Used my Leatherman Wave to clear a jammed stapler first thing this AM. Funny how when they need something done, you're not "that wierd guy with the knives", but rather "that guy who always has the tools to fix anything".

I always have a Leatherman Micra on my keyring. The Crunch is part of my emergrncy ski repair kit because I like the idea of being able to use it as a clamp while epoxy sets and the built-in 1/4" drive takes a #3 Posi-drive bit for the binding screws. At home my original PST gets the most use. I'm still saving up for a Spyderench but I keep finding other Spydies I want more <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

Other tools? Well let's see..... Shabaria in right hand pocket, Micra in left hand pocket, Gerber Multitool on belt... Photon light in watch pocket, Samsung digital voice recorder in shirt pocket, and Lamy pen in shirt pocket.
All just tools, but I would be lost without them! :-)

SwissTool. Why have those swiss engineers put those blades in that thing?<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I never use those.

Yes, I know it’s another knife but the tools I carry are in the Victorinox Soldier or Pioneer I carry every day in the left front pocket. This knife and its tools are used whenever needed for a task that might endanger the primary folder which is carried in the right front pocket.
The SAK alox handles stand up well to riding the pocket with keys and change. I’ve busted loose some tight screws with the SAK with no damage, and generally used them hard. They hold up really well. I just couldn’t bring myself to abuse my Spydies so.
I also reach for the SAK whenever I’m around the sheeple who “just don’t get it.”

Besides the Spyderco, I carry a Fisher Space Pen, a Photon Micro Light (in red so as not to screw up the night vision), and a small titanium screwdriver/prybar for those small prying jobs that look so tempting with my knife. I learned long ago a knife is the least effective and most expensive prybar you can own.

I am professional firefighter and having a knife on my person is very important. I carry a Remote Release clipped to my turnout gear in easy reach should the need arise to save my ass. I also carry 2 Gerber Multipliers, one in my bunker pants and another on my station wear belt. $ for $ they are the best working tool for the average guy. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I am also a professional firefighter. For structural firefighting I carry a Native, a Gerber compact multiplier, and an autopunch. For wildland I use a snap-it clipped to my line gear, and a Wegner (large) with the Gerber multiplier.

Always have a schrade multitool with me and a maglite solitare. Unfortunately got suckered into the schrade before I saw the leatherman wave and supertool. Oh well...

Just to join the party. Vitorinox SwissTool (best multi-tool I have ever found), Sure-Fire 6Z, 2 Spydercards (wallet and check book), Micra w/Photon, LadyBug and LadyBugII w/Photon, (on key chain), Rescue, and Cricket (Cricket is just for fidgeting with). Sometimes I'll add a Military.

I have several mult-tools in my drawers but the one closest to my heart and inside my pocket is my "Greenie".
It is a 3inch folder which feels a trifle hefty but doesn't look so.
It swings open rather smoothly. Clicks to a rock hard closing and handles like a pro.
I call it my LTT - low tech tactical. It doesn't look menacing and yet it projects an image it can handle all situations.
I bought it for a song and found it was made in a land not famous for knifemakers. Obviously, somebody in that country loves his craft.
I am glad I am a recipient of this master craftsman's creations. I know there are many magnificent knifemakers out there but sometimes in one's journey through life, one is lucky enough to come across something that rings a certain chord producing music that transcends human imaginings.
That's how I feel about my green LTT.

I had the leatherman supertool,purchased a swisstool the first chance i had and have never been more pleased with a tool. And the suppertool was not the only too Iv'e had in my day but the swiss is the best thing 2 carry on a daily level.
I used to manage a cutlery store and supertools were the most sent back tool next to the gerber tool for repairs swisstool not even one in the last year i was thereand we sold more swiss than anything else.

I use my Spyderco Cricket for fine work, or if I want something open NOW, and I have a Puma Rambler for rougher work. If I'm on my motorcycle, I carry one Plainedge Endura in my left back pocket, and a Serrated Endura in the right back pocket, plus the Cricket and Puma. I love all my Spydercos, but the Puma is fifteen years old and still going strong. ( And it's easy to sharpen )

Besides my Endura I carry a Leatherman Supertool and a Glock 20C. That's the 10mm variant, and it's a mean mutha.
