I'm thinking I'll get the Leatherman OHT. The pliers slide out the front with one hand. Makes it easier when you have a fishing pole between your legs and a bass in the other hand. The new thing it looks like is these multi tools with bit drivers. I'm not really interested in that.

You might enjoy a field trip to Boone's farm, pretty sure you can get it within minutes of it being crushed. if you get there at noon, you can get a vintage 11am.

Do you squeeze your own juice to sell at your store?

Never mind how to spell it!

When your young and looking for a buzz, those cheap wines did the trick. Boones, md, they all worked. I don't think anyone over 18 drinks those, except with a brown bag covering the bottle.

I forgot about Mad Dog, musta killed those brain cells!

Leathermans are a trap.  Don't do it!!  Mediocre at best in every tool, and they're so expensive.  

 

Just get these and pry the world apart with them if necessary.  They cut exceptionally well too.  Do you really need a nail file, toothpick and awful scissors??

Agreed. They sink like a rock too. 

 

I have some of the $5 multi tool pliers from WalMart, the Ozark Mountain brand, in my kayak bag for emergencies. I've been as happy with them as any of the Leathermans I've owned, and for about what sales tax on a Leatherman cost.

Yeah I have one I spent I think $16 on because it had every driver imaginable in the kit and I could fit it in my small fix bag...  kind of cracks me up what they actually squeeze into those things though.  I bet nobody ever uses 80% of the "tools" in them.  

 

IMO on the boat a nice set of strong, well designed pliers is worth its weight in gold and I hate messing around with folding this and locking that, gadgets and fidgets etc.  Those Dewalts are cheap too fwiw.  I had a pair of nice fishing pliers and they got chewed up pretty quick.... Went with shop strength tools and never looked back.

Manicievitz (sp?) is made with concord grapes, it's special and sweet. I have loved every gerber that I've owned before losing them, although I carry Piscifun pliers, which are about as comparable to the high end ones pictured previously in the thread as one can get for $20. I do believe KastKing and a few other MFG's stamp their name on the same pliers. While I agree, buy quality and it lasts a lifetime, there's no way in hell I could begin to justify spending more on pliers than I take home in a full day's wages just so I can cry when I eventually send 'em to Davy Jones' locker. I will say that the piscifun is much nicer than the hemostats or flea market needle nose I've carried in the past, and absolutely give props to the guy who managed to keep the same pliers for 20 years. I will, however, note that my girlfriend and I went car shopping this weekend. Those pliers are officially worth more than the dealer offered on trade for her '00 Chevy Impala, and about the same as the monthly payment would be on a new Malibu.
