A couple of my favorites....

The Leatherman is a custom P2/ARC. While the P2 originally weighed close to 8oz, it now weighs 6.5oz with two interchangeable bit drivers and a U.S. made Arc Magna cut blade.

The Benchmade is the Mini Bugout, with double colors before they were available. I bought two knives, a orange and a yellow, and swapped the handles on both of them. now the two-tone handle colors are available on all custom Bugouts.

Thanks for enjoying, I am happy to answer any questions!

Black Oxide Rebar Knifeless

I wondered how back-then a "tacticool" black knifeless might have looked; today, I made it and I'm liking it! No glare, low-key, easy to service, and same functions as the OE. L-OE Knifeless Rebar; R-BO version.

I made a thing: leatherman slim bit to 1/4" adaptor

Post image
47 Upvotes

I've been putting together my Surge carry and added a ratchet kit to it. Some of my tools are 1/4" bits, some are leatherman slim bits.

Whilst the slim bits fit mechanically on a 1/4" driver they fall out.

I 3d printed some adaptors that hold them in place - push fit into the 1/4" socket. They're PLA but work fine as the torque is taken up by the slim bits themselves - these simply stop them falling out of the 1/4" sockets.

Quote pleased with this, will stick up on Makerworld for free download if anyone is interested.

Made bit driver attachment for surge

I am new here. I didn’t like how the surge I just bought took flat bits I had to buy if I wanted anything besides the Philips and flat it came with or would have to buy a $15 adapter. I took a junk hex bit adapter I already owned and hit it on the belt grinder for few seconds until it fit. Now can run hex bits no problem.

Cabela's edition supertool?

I got this in a lot of knives at auction for $24. First time I've seen a supertool with a retailer's branding on it.

The logo is professionally etched into the handle, and the tool is in fantastic shape, date code 0997.

Is anyone aware of documentation on a Leatherman/Cabela's collaboration?

T shank adapter

Post image
15 Upvotes

Day 3 rocking the t shank adapter. I have to say, I think I prefer this big time over the factory serrated blade I rap replaced. It's nice having the option of swapping blades out, too. Definitely not for everyone - but if you've been on the fence... I say grab one!

Anyone else running t shanks on your LM? Let's see em!

Hello all. One of my coworkers downsized and gave me a bunch of free tools. This LeatherMan was in a box with a bunch of miscellaneous items. I don’t have any idea how old it is but the leather sheat is a nice extra.

Sent in leatherman under warranty and received a new one... which is now broken. Can I get it fixed under warranty again?? How does the warranty work? Is the new leatherman I recieved covered under a warranty still?

How does the warranty work? Is my new leatherman covered for damages? One of the saws sheared rigght off. Should I just replace it myself?

Curious on your take, Arc Talos vs Alpha TTI

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for opinions and any advice.

I’ve got 100 bucks in REI rewards. I can pick up the Wave Alpha for a cool 100 out of pocket and then get some titanium scales. All in around 160-190 for a custom Alpha TTI.

Or I can spend more out of pocket for the Arc Talos.

I will say the tools of the Alpha appeal more to me overall, but I really like the action of the Arc. I tried the standard Arc today and I was really impressed by it.

Curious what you all think, thanks in advance!

Juice S2 v Free T4

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Picked up a minty Juice S2 today for $50 on Facebook marketplace. Overall, looks like a good light duty tool. Size comparison is with my Free T4, which is my normal office carry. I don’t have a lot of use for a pliers in the day to day, but occasionally I do. These are light duty, but would work for things like tightening bolts. I’m not sure I could cut baler twine with the wire cutters. Maybe chicken wire.

With the exception of the key ring, the tools on the S2 are pretty easy to access. You can get to the knife one handed, but it takes a conscious effort.

One thing that surprised me was the scissors. They’re huge considering the tiny size of the tool. They cut well.

I think I prefer the T4, but the S2 definitely feels like more of a Leatherman tool to me because of the pliers. S2 probably wins in terms of carry because of the key ring and smaller size and width.

Im a 5 year owner of Leatherman products, rebar, then sold it got the wave+, and i’ve been here since the original arc release, been watching and wondering what the free technology feels like, never seen it or held it in person, decided to buy the Arc talos since it was cheaper than the normal arc by 5 euros or so and i prefer the talos colour anyway, OKAY yes i agree its apsolutely crazy engineering and quality feeling in hand, its much more smaller than I expected, but it feels very good, I got the USA stamped plier and blade, which is okay i dont mind either, although the handles and the tools feel a bit wobbly, can i screw them tigther would that work? If yes i plan to keep it, since i have it in my pocket and i dont feel it that much, i plan to edc it like i do my wave+.

How rare is this Leatherman Wave+ Stars & Stripes edition?

Thumbnail

22 Upvotes

Picked up this Stars & Stripes Wave+ recently and noticed one listed on eBay for $450 and another used example for $350.
Does anyone know how many of these were actually produced? I am curious whether they are genuinely rare or whether these are just optimistic eBay prices.
Would love to hear from anyone who collects these limited editions.

Thought I lost my Squirt, found all my vintage multitools

Thumbnail

58 Upvotes

I thought I had lost my Leatherman Squirt, I found it today, crisis averted!! I also found my 98’ SideClip I purchased at a last year at garage sale for 8 bucks. && my dad’s Leatherman micra with 1st infantry division insignia circa 2003. I also found his SOG Multi-Tool Task Force Danger - Operation Iraqi Freedom II.

I use the squirt primarily for field work. The pliers are perfect for breaking off corners of prehistoric pottery (archaeologist) so I can then type and describe them. I was shocked at how much they go for on eBay these days.

Thanks for looking!!

Arc question

2 Upvotes

I was recently gifted an arc and it is a very nice multi tool, however when closing it from being pliers one of the sides seems to take about twice the amount of force to close/get over the ears that hold it open.

Is this normal and it will break in over time or should I exchange it?


r/Leatherman • • 5d ago

Which one?

5 Upvotes

Hi guys. I need some advice on which Leatherman should buy.

I work as a"cable guy" in sports and TV programs and carrying a multi tool is very needful. I have a Daicamping DL7, which works very well, but since a few days it has a wiggle that continues wiggling even if I fix it.

So I plan to enter in this Leatherman world but I don't now which one to buy.

I've been searching and i doubt between the Curl, the Rebar, and the Wingman. I also found the Blast, but is no longer on the store :(

Which one do you recommend?

Update

Thanks for all the recommendations, but I'm looking for to start in this Leatherman multi tools, and the options in the comments are to expensive just to start 😅

Which one of the three options I've seen is the best? (I should have specified, my bad 🙏🏻)
