My wife is always amazed at how much stuff I keep in my pockets. Of the items that I don't leave home without - one is my Multi-Tool. For those that don't know...a multi-tool is a gadget that is essentially a compact toolbox in your pocket - with pliers, wire cutters, knives, screwdrivers, saws, and more. Granted growing up I was a fan of the Swiss Army knife, or rather, MacGyver who always seemed to rely on the help of a tool to get him out of a jam. I made the change from my trusty 'ole Swiss Army knife to a Leatherman Multi-Tool over a decade ago. For pilots I feel it's an essential piece of gear for emergency repairs or for survival. I like the quality of the Leatherman brand over some of the others I've seen. I had one of the original models the PST (Pocket Survival Tool), before loosing it and buying my Super Tool 200 - of course I then found my old one. Leathermen tools are USA made in Portland, Oregon - and their multi-tools come with a 25-year warranty. Check them out here. I remember some of their ad's (probably the one that sold me) with pilot stories - here is one such story.
