I'd love to, but I'd struggle with this one a bit to be honest. These are "last for years and years type tools".

I use a Leatherman Wave, pretty much every day, at work and at home. I'd struggle to replace it unless something had exactly the same tool set. Also, because of it's durability, I imagine by the time it comes to replace it, either America will have recovered, or America will be in such a state that you can't buy things from there anyway :)

But yeah, if I was getting a secondary one for some reason, or it got nicked, I'd have a look at these again.

They have tools that look like the Leatherman tools. Like this one. I have no idea how they compare, though.

Yeah, I had a good look through the website - the linked one is almost everything I use, though the screwdrivers are set, rather than with changeable ends, and there's no tiny screwdriver.

This one: Swiss Tool X Plus Ratchet could probably cover what I need, though the screwdrivers bit is a separate item in the same pouch.

To be fair, if I did have to change what I was using, I'd learn to cope, and just carry a few extra bits around with me.

I suppose the appeal of the exact Leatherman model I have, is that I use every piece of it, and there's nothing extra on it (for my needs).

This is what I already have in my shopping cart. It looks neat.
