It's funny, i have been contemplating picking up a Leatherman Juice C2 so i have a lightweight LM for the times i don't want to carry the Blast, i actually purchased a Blast a couple years ago, but thought i lost it in the last move, or at work
a few months ago, i had to bring in a pair of Backup Pants, as the zipper on the pair i was wearing was failing to remain closed, i fixed that pair, then tossed the BP's in the bottom desk drawer and forgot about them
...until today, the zipper malfunctioned again, so i grabbed the BP and went into the bathroom, as i dropped them on the floor i heard a "clunk"
long story short, turns out my Juice C2 was in the pocket of the BP, a little beat up looking, but none the worse for wear, so now i don't have to purchase a new Juice, just a new pair of BP's.....
yes, yes, i know, it's crazy having a pair of BP in the office, but this time it saved me a trip home for a functioning pair of pants
of course, me being the cheap bastard i am, i may just end up replacing the failed zipper on the existing pants rather than buying a new pair of pants, nothing else is wrong with them, and i've become rather attached to the cavernous pockets they have....
now, if i can just find that clunky old Gerber Multi-Plier i probably *DID* lose in the move....
