I carry a Wave just about everywhere for at least 6 years, the PST before that. It is sort of like an American Express card, I just don't like to leave home without it. Looking at buying the new Charge XTi, only because I think it is time for change, the wave still works great.

I have carried Leathermans for years if I didnt have them in my pocket I felt
I was not dressed, i geuss I need to send a couple of pairs back I hope the
company dont think I abused them, because I worked as an electrician in a
plant for years Man did they save me some walking ,to have that many tools
in one, in your pocket!
P.S. My Mom just gave me a Pair of the Craftsman 45201 she bought them
at a yard sale , I have not used them much yet so I dont know how good they
are!

I always have the large Gerber on the belt, even with a suit on. I prefer it over the Leatherman as it can be handled with one hand. It also has a lock on the tools that come out. Regardless of brand, that type of tool should be required dress for the masses.

I've carried a Leatherman 'Original' for 10 years. The knife blade is the sharpest blade I've EVER owned!!! I feel naked without this tool on my belt.
Ever since 9/11, we've been 'required' to have a 'Go-Kit' near our workstations at work (in case we have to leave and/or 'Shelter in Place').
(Basic necessities like bottled water, a few high energy bars, T-paper, deodorant, handi-wipes, a change of clothes, flashlight and extra batteries, etc.)
I have a Leatherman 'Super Tool' in that backpack. Brand new.
My company does not allow firearms on the premises, otherwise, the G-21 and two boxes of cartridges would be in there, too.
Leatherman. #1 in my book.
