I've got the wingman and it's always done right by me, plus I am never without a wingman if necessary. Leathermans are the way to go in my opinion, of course I'm biased as my dad always had one and it imprinted.

Speaking of sexist, etc, I had to ask for this sucker for three birthdays in a row before I got it. I don't know, I just feel like a dude would've gotten it before then. (I could've purchased it myself, yes, but I wanted it - as a gift - from my father.)

I did get nerdy and buy a belt-holder as the one problem with it I have is that the belt clip seems to get loose with use.

I've asked my mother (whom I live with) since 7 or 8th grade, I really just don't think she understands the value of a gift like that. That's why I'm gonna cozy up to my dad this summer and try to wiggle it out of him :D we'll see what happens.

Maybe mention something about having it in your car in case you break down or just need a screwdriver when you're away from home. IMHO, everyone should have one (as well as a Maglite) in their glovebox at all times.
