They really are a great tool to have in the outdoors Critter.  I recommend them to anyone, especially to fisherman.  My trusty Leatherman Wave has saved the day more times than I can count since I bought it about 10 years ago.  The only thing I've ever gutted with it are fish, and it's helped a few times to pull out ducks from hot paraffin wax when plucking feathers.  Used it a few times in the field to assist in reassembly of my shotgun, the link in my 11-87 requires needle nose pliers (or very thin fingers) to reinstall and seat it properly.  It's comes in handy in camp for repairing gear, used as a pot handle, used to cut tent stakes with. It's two sided mill/diamond file gets used to sharpen axes, hatchets, fishhooks, and other knives in the field. I use the needle nose pliers all the time for removing fish hooks from fish, sometimes from myself too.  Even used the pliers once to remove a thick long thorn that got jammed deep in my thumb and broke off under the surface .  I always have it with me when hunting, not as a primary field dressing tool, but as a general useful tool when needed.  It's even come in handy a multitude of times when just traveling for vacation and staying in hotels and condos.  Two things that I wish my Wave had on it is an awl and a pin punch.  I'd sacrafice one less flathead screwdriver and the folding lanyard ring in exchange for those two items. I know Leatherman updated and reintroduced the Wave in 2004, but I'm just not a fan of removeable and interchangeable bits on a mutli-tool, especially one that gets carried in the field, too many small pieces to drop and lose.
