I've had this out of production minimalist Leatherman for about 20 years and it's served me well.
As others have mentioned.. great for handling a fallen chain on the road.

I was given the exact same Leatherman as a 50th birthday present. I've been using it for 26 years now and it's still like new. I have a newer model that I use around the house but the original lives in my rear rack bag.

I bought a similar Leatherman.
It's the least expensive version that I could find.
Just the basic tools.
$76.78 CAD with the tax.

I also bought a sextant for my tool kit. 
I was pretty wasted when I bought that.
I have no idea how to work it?
I think that you can use the sun or the stars to navigate, but I think I need to buy a boat to go with it?
Yeah, it's smaller, lighter and more comfortable to carry with me all the time.
The sextant is pocket sized too.

I actually have two of these that carried over from my final days as Facilities/ Data Center manager. The hands on guys of the IT Department loved them.
One I keep on the bike and the other I pack in my checked bag when I travel. Great for quick fixes and minor surgeries
You need to stay off Ali and Amazon when under the influenceI also bought a sextant for my tool kit.

Actually I have an order from Ali arriving today with a bunch of small items and my cart is almost full again with their back to school sale and storehouse replenishments.

That's Fricken Cool !!!
Bit too rich for my blood though,.. lol
They should make a Vicegrip version.
Might only be a $500 tool, or ten bucks American.

Holy Crap Adam Savage must have seriously boosted their order rate. That was a US$1000 tool (plus about $500 shipping) when I first looked at it a month or two ago. Now its triple that.

I stumbled on these knives that use surgical blades after I lost my very nice folder. I wanted something that was easier to carry and to in the way hooked onto my pocket. there are a ton of them different shapes and sizes and blades. blades are only 10.00 for 100 so you can always have the sharpest knife. here is a little guy easy to carry. these are light duty knives the blades are thin so they have their limits.

yep so much more so then I can keep my knives. since the blades are so thin. but the replacement blades are so cheap too and you have a big choice of shapes. they gave me a scalpel handle with one bade over so I made a ebony handle for it.

Here's a tool to NOT buy:
probiketool.com
Pro Bike Tool Shock Pump.
First, it's hard to pump once you get beyond about 120 psi.
Second, the release valve seems to let out air, and not just the air in the hose as claimed. That's because the screw action is so slow.
Third, in order to use it you're holding the end that has the air release valve and gauge. So you either accidentally release some air while pumping unless you hold it just so.
Fourth, and the fatal flaw, since you're holding the gauge, you're putting pressure on it and it's just plastic, so after a few uses you'll probably do like I just did and break the gauge off.
"Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?"
Shock Pump
High-pressure, low-volume pump capable of reaching 300 PSI/20 BAR for shocks with Schrader valve connections. 1.5” industrial gauge is easy to read. Ergonomic T-Handle and 6” swivel hose with pivot mount make it easy to pump in any angle. CNC machined alloy head and barrel provide strength...

Must drastically increase the efficiency of circumcisions and the resulting production of all that foreskin jerky
