    So I have a Gerber multi tool. I checked out several before I bought this one. I am happy with it. Basically everyone knows all real men have a multi tool in their truck.

    Leatherman is a Fantastic tool! However, given the use, abuse, and occasional loss, my Multi's experiance, I prefer the Gerbers for cost.

    Do the individual tools on the leatherman lock into place when in use?

    The saw, two blades, and file lock in place with a button release. The other tools that fold out snap into place and need some rotational force to snap them back out to swivel them closed.

    Put a shirt over it......

    What they dont know, wont hurt them.

    And I am in no way an expert on law, but I dont think they can search your vehicle witout consent and I dont believe tx law would say anything about a multi tool. You cant have it on your person, for sure, since it has a knife blade, but otherwise I dont see how they could say anything.

    It's a state law in Texas to not have a knife, firearm, illegal drug, alcohol, or tobacco on campus.

    Or so the sign to the student parking law says.

    A kid was expelled this year for ciggarettes, brass knuckles, and a pocket knife.
