Seriously - it was like 8 months ago.

(Bush won).

Seriously - We have them like every four years.

(You'll lose again).

What do you mean I'll lose?

I voted for Bush, partly for his common sense immigration policies and lackadaisical stance on abartion rights - but mostly because I felt it was an adequate reward for his "forgetting" to sign the AWB renewal (even though he said he would).

I can’t wait to hear all of the “republican” groveling when John “Gun show loophole” and Giuliani run in ’08. Talk about liberal suck-holes. You guys can have them.

My vote’s never guaranteed – and it’s not swayed by what a tool maker does.

My votes not swayed by a tool either.
But my money is.

Leatherman supports those people who take away our rights. You think I'm going to supprot him?
FUCK NO!
I might as well support the Brady Campaign, and might as well have wrote my Senators asking them to reinstate the AWB.

It was worth it when it was $25 but not at $51.

You mean the AWB renewal that he asked Congress not to allow on the first round of firearms manufacturers' protection legislation?

Well, Hell's Bells! Congratulations, then!

Does buying a used Leatherman count as support?

Yep. That means you reimbursed whoever originally bought the liberal supporting tool. Now it's your money in their pockets.

I hate to say it but I own a laetherman charge xti and it is incredible leaps and bounds better than the multi-pliers I have owned . Those flips pliers were nice but the leatherman feels about twice as solid and the 154 cm blade kicks ass. Not to mention the accessory tools , diamond file, and titanium construction. Flame suit on.

That's not a direct link to Amazon. Who is getting a commission?

I got it from another forum I frequent.

I can't believe how mind numbingly paranoid some of you people are.

I love my Gerber Auto-Plier, handiest multi-tool I've found so far. I occasionally get some odd looks when I hit the "go" button, though.

Tim Leatherman made his opinions abundantly clear, so I decided to return in kind. I chose to support a company that doesn't use my money to try and back one political party or another, but instead does just what I'm paying them to do, check their affiliations at the door and make quality tools.

I sent a pic of my broken leatherman tool along side of my new SOG, letting him know that after 10+ years of faithful daily carry of a leatherman that I would no longer support his company. He didnt write back.

I don't care if the thing is amazing in quality. I don't want to line the pockets of someone who backs idiot lib candidates IF I CAN HELP IT. Gerber makes an excellent product, I'd just buy one of those.

Keep buying stuff from these liberal backers, and they might start thinking that you agree with them. Stop buying, and they start wondering if they should shut up or close their wallets when Hillary come calling.

Thank you very much. +1

I'd buy another Wave but the one I have now works just fine.

I hate Gerbers.

I was agreeing with you.

I own two Waves and a Multi-Tool. I have two Gerbers, too.

I prefer the Leathermans. Tim can go fuck himself politically, but his products are great, and I work too hard for my money to toss it on a less-then-best product.

I would argue the Leathermans are not the best product. I think the SOG I have is better, but that is just my opinon.

Could be. I was a huge Gerber fan until I actually used a Leatherman. Got converted pretty quick. Never handled a SOG...

When looking to replace my Wave, that was what I was leaning toward buying, but I went with the Charge Ti because it has more tool selection, and sometimes I really need that extra capability. The SOG is probably the toughest multitool out there.

I have snapped the pliars off of a Leatherman before.

Back when this whole mess exploded, went to the Leatherman corporate site and they were looking for engineers with experience in outsourcing - seems ol Tim plays the game where you do just enough here to have goods stamped "Made in the USA" and as much as possible overseas to lower costs (not that some other companies don't do that)

(They have since filled or deleted that job opening )

He made millions & built a company, then he decided that his company would be a political vehicle, as he (and other outdoor companies) signed on to support Kerry, not as private citizens, but as leaders of their firms (without giving their employees input)

A portion of every Leatherman product you can be sure will find it's way to support the next John Kerry, (Hillary?) and those are the folks who would disarm you in a heartbeat. Why fund them?

The issue for me was not his political views or where his products were made, it was the way in which he responded with a total lack of respect for his customers. If he doesn't "need" me as a customer, I don't want to be one.
