That's a cool site. I'd love it if they would do Cerakote for the handles plus steel upgrades for knife blades.

I find that I need an inner tool and the pliers on a multitool at the same time.I wish that the drivers and such were in a removable cartridge and could be used seperately.If I had to hold a nut and turn a screw for example.

Hey, Izzy, are there good instructional videos or sample projects online?

I like the Micra mod. I have a couple lying around that I got in a trade for something else. I'm going to try it.

If you remove the plier part of a leatherman and put the other implements on the other side, don't you end up with something suprisingly a lot like a SAK? (Victorinox have one hand opening, locking blades models too).

Before I encountered my first Leatherman, I had religiously carried a SAK for years. The only reason for going over to yhe L-tool is the pliers, which is a very good reason.

Down. Overpriced gimmick.

I do carry a SAK and a small pair of Vicegrips while at work.SAK is EDC....

Thumbs up from me. At least on initial review: http://www.equipped.org/blog/?p=654

If you know you are traveling by air, and you only have carry on luggage, I suspect that you could TAKE OUT the knife blade in your Leatherman and just put a spacer there.

Then you can put the blade in when you come back...

I picked up a couple of the Lowe's Task Force mini multi-tools on clearance for $1.00 each after last Christmas.

Just for fun I took out the nail file and put in a spare house key.
