The Development of the Leatherman Multi-Tool



Jim Gorman of Popular Mechanics took a look at some of the early schematics and prototypes for the popular Leatherman Multi-Tool developed by Tim Leatherman in the 1980s. Pictured above are cardboard cut-outs and wooden models that Leatherman carved during the design process.

@ Gail Pink
Rats aren't disease carrying vermin unless they live in disease infested areas. Like, say, sewers. If you got your rat from a pet shop and not off the street, you are fine. But you knew that already, right?

Fancy rats are what you get in pet stores, and they are a domestic rat that have nothing to do with what you do find in the sewers. They are very clean, can be taught to use a litter box, and incredibly social. Just adding to the defense of the rat. They are great pets.

Her real character is in her eyes. My rat, Gandalf, was a rescue rat. He came from a lab where well-meaning scientists grew things on his back for awhile, then gave him to a trusted local pet store. His eyes always had that look of panic, due to his upbringing. Bug seems to have been raised right. Big Hugs((bug)).

Yeah I wasn't talking about that one (it's just as cute though)... these photos have been posted on CO before along w/ the video of the ratty falling asleep on her hand.

Anywho, not that it matters rofl...

I'd love to have an actual pet rat. I had one when I was younger, but it was just a feeder rat that was mean as hell.
I dunno if I could deal with having one though considering how short their lives are. Would be so heartbreaking not having a lot of time w/ them.

I've had rats on and off all my life so I loved these pictures. I can't have any right now though because I live in a dorm but as soon as I move out I'm getting another. I've even fostered rats before and I think that they are the best pets out there even if other people seem to think that they are gross.
