On the road with a Leatherman squirt.

Okay, just back from two weeks in Texas, looking at houses. Spent the two weeks with my sister in law's place in Georgetown, and found that I can live very well on a fixed income 'down there.'

While staying with sis-in-law there was some running repairs, as her fella is not exactly a Harry home owner handy man. The little pliers was used to bend some edges on a gutter pipe that was being re-fitted, and the file was used to take down some sharp edges after a bit of trimming with tin snips. A day later, the screw driver was used to fixed a jammed up Venetian blind on a bedroom window. The scissors was used for some light mustache and beard trimming.

The pliers was also used to help arthritic senior citizen fingers with something that 10 years ago I could still pull off. This whole aging thing is getting on my nerves!!!:grumpy:

Only one fail, and it was only a part fail. Beer. Sis-in-law Diane had some nice chilled Mexican beer, and the bottle opener on the squirt had to take like three tries at it. It did it, but with a few assaults on the cap. The bottle opener on the micra seems to work better.

But all in all, the little Leatherman is proving a nice handy little thing to have on hand. I would not have thought so a year ago.

Mr. Carl, has it replaced or supplemented your Classic? When I carry a PS4, I usually have a 58mm SAK with it for the precise scissors.

Sometimes, sometimes not. But for the most part, when I put the Leatherman in my pocket down in Texas, and someone else was driving, I left my keyring back n my room. I'd just transfer the Fenix E01 to a quick release hook on the squirt. That way they were linked together in my left hand pocket. For the most part my cutlery in Texas was my Camillus Remington peanut and the squirt. When I drove around in my truck, my classic was on my keys and the peanut was in my pocket.
