Leatherman 830850 and Leatherman 64010103k Review
Copyright (c) 2009 Richard Walker
Have you ever been in a situation where you needed the right tool, right away? None of us can carry all the tools we need all the time - unless we have a multitool! Multitools from Leatherman can tighten a screw, cut a branch, open a bottle, take out a splinter and more, and there are models for absolutely everyone.
These versatile, easy to carry tools are found all over the place, from the pockets of athletes to the backpacks of hikers to the briefcases of office professionals. That's because multitools work in just about any situation. Let's take a look at two models from Leatherman - the Leatherman 830850, or Skeletool CX, and the Leatherman 64010103K, or Micra. The Micra has been used by trail runners, hikers, and just about anyone else who wants to accomplish a task in the great outdoors but doesn't have the ability to carry a lot of tools. This is a light model that can be easily tossed in a back pack or clipped to a bottle holder. It also fits easily in a pocket.
The tweezer attachment is great for fine manipulation, including splinter removal, and the four different screwdrivers will allow you to repair just about anything on the go. Scissors can open a package or shorten a shoelace, and the included knife is excellent for cutting rope or larger objects. A built in ruler helps you measure easily, and the bottle opener is great for relaxing - no matter where you are.
The Skeletool CX is made for people who want to keep volume and weight down, but aren't interested in cutting out functionality and quality. There are lots of multitools with a large number of options, but these heavy tools may have more to them than you really need. However, it's hard to get by with just a pocket knife. The Leatherman 830850 is a nice balance between the two. It's compact size and light weight make it easy to take anywhere, but it has plenty of options to make sure you always have the right tool for the job. Important tools that come with the Skeletool CX include a large knife blade that's accessible while the tool is closed. It comes with a safety lock to minimize injuries, and is easy to use. On top of that, you have a universal bit driver included. That means that you can insert a number of different bits to create multiple different tools. Phillips and flathead screwdriver bits are included, but others are available for greater versatility. Hard and regular wire cutters are included, so you can cut everything from jewelry wire to fishhooks.
No matter who you are or what activities you enjoy, Leatherman tools are a great idea for you. There's a Leatherman for everyone. No matter what tool you need, Leatherman makes sure you have it!

What should I know when having someone work on my home or car when I cannot do it myself?
I'm not particularly skilled at any one trade but I know how to use basic tools like wrenches, hammers, saws, screwdrivers, and measuring tape for minor vehicle maintenanc ( only wrenches and screw drivers for vehicle repairs) or home improvements. I can change the oil, oil filter, brake pads, air filter, spark plugs and spark plug wires on my truck (relatively minor things) but the more advanced stuff (computer controlled wiring, fixing head gaskets, cylynders, transmissions, etc) I am not skilled at, plus I don't have my own garage. Around the house, I can tighten fixtures such as toilet paper holders, towel holders, faucets, etc and fix broken furniture when the damage is minor. What should I do so that I don't get taken advantage of by some unscrupulous mechanic, carpenter, plumber, sheetrock contractor or electrician (I have been the victim of one once), when it comes to more advanced repairs and building work that I'm not as skilled at? What laws should I be aware of?
I always do research before I hire anyone to do work for me whether it be for my businesses, rentals, automotive repairs or around the house. I check out automotive repair shops to see whether they are AAA approved or if there are any complaints against them registered with the Better Business Bureau. Besides checking the BBB, I check out contractors to see whether their license numbers are legitimately registered with our state licensing board. (You'd be surprised at how many "contractors" use bogus license numbers. Our state maintains a website that makes it easy to check them out.) I also make certain that contractors are bonded, have insurance and worker's compensation. I try to make sure that they don't hire illegal aliens, but that is getting to be more difficult. I always ask for references and examples of their work. When I recently hired a painting contractor, I physically drove to the addresses they gave me, spoke to their clients and inspected their work. Also, I always ask for an estimate, get at least three bids and a written contract. It really is the contract that protects you legally.
