Last thing I used mine for was adjusting the door closer on the office door. Went from a teeth jarring, door frame threatening slam to a satisfying shoosh-clunk. Leatherman wave.
To be honest, there's a million (well maybe not quite a million) little jobs that I use it for that I wouldn't have considered attempting without a leatherman on my work belt; I'd just have to book estates to come and sort it. So my leatherman is used for saving the NHS literally [s]thousands[/s] [s]hundreds[/s] some quid.
Edit; cme to think of it, our building is maintained by a PFI type of thing, so probably MEEEELLIONS!
Opinel No. 10 as a day-to-day knife. Leatherman Surge if I'm sorting out odds and sods (but it's a bit heavy to carry round on the off-chance).
I do feel sorry for those poor souls with a desk job and no excuse to carry something big and stabby 😉
Ha, I'd be doing a life stretch if I had a stabby tool at work

Today i fixed the bathroom lock... again
And the most important thing...
Opening bike packages!
Victorinox Hunter and a rambler which is the same as mr flash heart i believe
Ive carried a Victorinox Swiss Army knife pretty much everywhere since I was 11 years old.
I still have my 24 year old veteran alongside why others.
I have a Leatherman Sideclip which i carry every day at work. Just the other day, for example; someone snapped the key off in a lock, and 10 seconds later i'd retrieved the broken bit! I was carried out of the building on a wave of triumph!
I actually carry two normally. The victorinox is used for various things at work, from the screwdriver bit undoing/tightening stuff, flicking stones out of Man hole covers to chopping the tops of my strawberries. I rarely cut anything with it as I also carry a lock knife/Stanley knife combo thing like [url= https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rolson-Tools-62852-Tradesman-Knife/dp/B003ZDNVA0 ]this[/url] Love the fact it just takes normal blades.
Slimjim ...Making sharp stabby things is my job! So I use them for a lot of jobs in the workshop that are simply easier to do with a knife. My leather man gets used when I need something more than a very sharp thing....
Leatherman Wave for work,biking and sometimes shopping 😳 When I forget to take it off my belt.
Reach for it so many times when DIYing only to find it's not there.
http://everydaycarry.com/is good but can be a bit American (read guns).
Well that's 40 minutes of my life i'm never getting back. Great site, tho.
Leatherman Kick. Always when riding and doing work around the house, but I don't carry it if I'm just out on errands or whatever.
If I'm at work wearing a suit or blazer, I have a Swiss Card in my to pocket. Otherwise I'll have a Victorinox Cybertool on me somewhere. Lost one at airport security in Mumbai and another at Lisbon 🙁
Security at Prestwich once missed my Victorinox Rucksack knife and let it into the cabin. This was despite the bag it was in going through the scanner. I have had a lowered opinion of airport theatre since that flight.
Multi-tool- which came in useful in sorting dropping seat post yesterday!
Knife? I have had a mini knife on a multi-tool to cut rope when sailing or camping (Swiss copy) but not people or self defence.
Knife on it's own? nope/never.
I don't carry anything daily, but have a multi tool in my bike bag, as you never know when it'll be handy.
I did however last year find a small knife in my camera bag in Addis Ababa airport after arriving from London. Think maybe my GoPro power pack (large battery with lots of wires coming out of it......) might have distracted security and they didn't check properly.
yup.
