Leatherman Super Tool 200 - 2004

It is great although hefty. It is very bulky but that comes with the territory of having that many large and overbuilt functions to a tool. The plier’s handle alone is 4 and a half inches. You never feel like it might break, and will get much use from it.

This tool has just about everything you need, to fix anything you have. The only thing missing is a hammer (for obvious reasons). I like to keep one in the car, house and my backpack for emergencies or for sheer convenience. Why carry around a toolbox for small repairs when you can keep it on your belt.

I use this all the time--both on backpacking trips but also around the house! I really like the fact that all the tools stay in place while I am using them, which has saved me from some injuries more than once!

I had a Leatherman (model unknown) for years & used it constantly during 10 years of owning an archery store. Like everything that gets used & old, it got loose in the joints. The improvements to the 200 indicate the ingenuity of the Leatherman organization.

This thing is so burly that I sometimes actually don't take it with me because it's so heavy. I can definitely feel the weight in my pack when I'm biking or backcountry skiing. But when you need it, there's nothing tougher. All the tools are smooth action goodness.

This is the Swiss Army knife for the next century. It has everything one could expect from a tool, a must have for those day trips or mutli-day excursions into the wilderness. It is rugged, durable, and useful. Just remember not to take it thru airport security.
