1992
I was out on my mountain bike above washington CA
I saw something shiny just off the trail
Stopped
It was a Genuine, made in USA Leatherman tool
They only cost $39.00 then
But
This was a freeBee
It is always with me on the bike or any back country trips
5 years after acquiring it my wife and I were camping in the White mts. in Arizona
We had rented a Nissan SUV
One morning I came out of our tent and saw the right rear tire flat
I went to change it and found 3 out of 5 of the lugs cross threaded
So
Using oil from the engine dip stick
And
Nuts from 3 other wheels as dies
And
The leatherman file
I was able to repair the threads on two of the studs
Took 4 hrs to accomplish
I listened to the entire Indy 500 whilst doing the repair
Dats my story
