Good to see another person who's got a penchant (hope I spelt that right) for Land Rovers.
Also, if I remember correctly, there was a thread like this, but I lack
JSR-esque link gathering skills, so I can't give you a link.
Anyways, I've got the most average set of tools you can imagine, so
I'd better stop rambling.

There was a humorous
"tools redefined" thread, not sure if that's the one you're referring to.
By the way, forgot to mention this important tool:

That wasn't the thread which I was referring to, but thanks for the link,
quite amusing.
I saw your Land Rover, but why a short wheelbase, it could be so much bigger.
[Edit, I've been looking at those Leathermans, what are they like?
Sorry about the thread hijack.

Because it's also my every-day vehicle, and urban parking with a LWB would be a bit of nightmare. It's already a chore without power steering

Toolbox in your pocket, mine is always with me especially at work, even when I'm forced to suit up

Not sure what your local guarantee arrangement would be but here it comes with a lifetime guarantee, should you need to replace it there's only a small fee to cover postage to the US, you can also trade in your old one for a newer model just making up for the cost difference.
I also have a
Skeletool for more "dressy" occasions

I have a leatherman surge and i use it all the time. i would recomend it to anyone looking for a multi-tool. also if you get a surge or a wave or any other leatherman with interchangeable bits i recomend grinding the shank of a magnetic bit holder to fit in the tools screwdriver. it is great for using standard insert bits in the leatherman.
