I once laughed at people carrying multi-tools. Until I was given one by my father. I didn't laugh anymore. My current Leatherman Super Tool 300 literally changed my life. I found I used it everyday at some point and if I forgot it, I'd turn around, go home and get it. Having no 'tool' at the ready, just wasn't going to happen.I've got several of the smaller Leatherman tools, and they just sit in the drawer, while the Super Tool 300 is used daily. Sent one of the Wave's back because it was still under warranty, after I'd broke the knife blade...it wasn't repaired, it was completely replaced with a new one. So when my old Super 300 broke the tip off the pliers (pulling/wedging a pin out of a tractor jack), I didn't even think about sending it in for repair. Then I wore out the wire cutting inserts. Then using the screwdriver tips for leverage, they broke off... All the damage done was my own fault, not a design flaw of Leatherman.Thought for maybe a minute should I send it back for replacement, or just buy another. Seeing as this tool has gotten me out of serious jams, and been so reliable, couldn't see having it tossed into a garbage bin and a new one arriving.So, we got a brand new one. This one will find a place of honor in my shop.IMHO, the Super 300 is the pinnacle of Leatherman heirarchy. It's beefy, strong, and ready for anything. I stopped flying commercially after 9/11 because they weren't allowed on aircraft. IF I were dropped anywhere in North America with my Leatherman Super Tool 300, I have no doubt that I could survive, and even thrive.Worked in AK as an NPS Backcountry Ranger for a decade, and this Super Tool 300 was by my side every single day. Work and day off. On one patrol, I forgot it at a rest break, and didn't discover the loss for five miles. I backtracked across the high alpine tundra to the location, found it, and it was one of the best days ever.My only complaint with the old Super Tool 300 was the leather scabbards never lasted long, with daily use. Bought new leather scabbards on Amazon made by Leatherman, but they lasted maybe six months before being destroyed. Hopefully, this new cordura nylon case will last longer. If not, I've gotten use to buying third party scabbards.Would I buy it again? Yes, in maybe 20 years or so, when I wear this one out.
