CRC 6-56 protects from salt really well...when I was running the salt, sprayed all my tools with it..as well as all cable linkage points, etc.

As a retired carpenter, I appreciate a favourite tool like that chisel. Then there are our lender tools, for people who don't know how to respect "things"! Question: what's the blue tape for? To quickly ID the size?
Btw, that bench looks like it has seen some work. Wish I still had my shop.

They have a 25 year warranty. They replaced my 1st Gen Wave after close to 10 years for a scissor blade that broke while folding it up, no receipt, no questions asked with a Wave +.

Rusty Leatherman Charge
"I just contacted leatherman directly to ask about rust being covered under warranty. The customer service rep stated that TECHNICALLY it does not cover rust. She went on to say "However I have never heard of anyone sending their Leatherman in even for rust not being returned to factory condition." She also said that they recommend shipping it insured. I hope this helps."
Headlamps. I've had a Petzel Tikka that takes the 3AAAs since around 2010. But it's only 350 lumens.
I recently bought a small, rather inexpensive, waterproof 1500 lumen flashlight to carry in my little emergency pouch and found a headband for it.

Headlamps and pocket knives. I always lose them. I’ve had the same wallet for 25 years no lie, but I can’t seem to keep a good headlamp or pocket knife for more than a year or so. I might need to invent some kind of hat lanyard for my headlamps
I'm not 70, and something like that is incredibly useful. I have a couple of these. Mainly for the boat, but also keep one for when I'm tent camping so I don't have to go through the hassle of leaving the tent.
I had to use one of those in my hospital bed after hip replacement surgery.
Pro tip - Practice before you attempt to use it in your sleeping bag-tent.
Story time?
Is it long enough??
I keep the Tikka headlamp in a baseball-size zip-up Petzel protective case in the top zipper pocket of my Fishpond Tundra backpack that hangs on the wall in the garage. I use it around the house often. *After every use it always gets put back* into the Fishpond pack pocket.
The flashlight in the headband's elastic sleeve resides in the small emergency gear pouch I carry in my main fishing sling pack and *it always...*
I have the Swiss Army Tinker I bought in the early 1970s when I started climbing on an OD Green paracord lanyard, and treated myself to a Swiss Army Climber when I started backpacking again around 2013 with a lanyard of 4mm blue reflective Niteline hammock ridge cord. *When in use, the lanyard is always attached to my belt. They always get put back into a side zipper pocket of my Harding fishing duffel after every use*.
*ADD life lessons*

The blue tape is a simple guide on the grinder tool rest to get a hollow grind. I then hone it on 600 grit Emory cloth.
found that braiding a piece of paracord onto knives = less free range walks.
Also find they stay around longer if removed from pockets and into the knife bin at end of day.

I got one of these on clearance at ACE years ago for $10. It came in handy when we lost power for a couple days a few weeks ago.
