<g> Probably not a generation gap thing, more likely gender related.  A
Leatherman, which is a brand name, is one of those Swiss Army knife type of
gadgets - typically a combination pliers, wire cutter, knife, various screw
drivers, etc.
Other manufacturers (Gerber, etc.) also have similar products, but
Leatherman was the first company (I believe) to produce and market them.
These type of tools don't perform any of the tasks as well as the actual
tools (ie. a real pair of needlenose pliers) but they can be handy to have.
Check out www.leatherman.com for a look at the real thing.
