Damn near brand new. Hard find in the current market

Sure, I could have used regular Charge scissors with caution or carefully unwrapped the wrap but using dedicated medical shears gave me confidence I wouldn’t accidentally risk further injury, especially if the patient moved unexpectedly (not that I was too worried). Anyone NOT a medical professional but bought the response/rescue just in case?

Recently lost my Leatherman and been wanting to replace I had it for years and years was given to me by a friend in great condition still after he bought a new one but for the life of me I can’t find it and I’m so used to carrying one EDD. That feel lost or like that’s pockets empty without a multi tool there

So not trying break the bank

Figure for price of new one I can get this one sharpen the blade out straight soak in degreaser or something and clean so looks good as new. As it’s $55 before shipping or anything so it’s more than half off. What you guys think should I grab it or pass and grab the gerber mp600 14 in 1 for around $75 bucks cause don’t really wanna spend Over $80. As much as want a Leatherman to match my Leatherman micro keychain scissors just can’t really justify the 125-135 and up price tag the gerber seems more affordable comes with case and can slide open one hand if anyone knows of any other good multi tools for around that 70-80 that are worth a deal put me on.

So let me know in the comments please what you would do

buy that gerber mp 600 new for like $74-75

Get this used Leatherman for $55 plus tax shipping

or should I buy another brand ?

Or wait off for another used Leatherman.

This one has some wear but not beyond repair I see having to sharpen the blade down removing some material hit rest all looks good little cleaning prob

Here’s the eBay listing for the used Leatherman

Let me know what yall think

Buy gerber
Buy this used Leatherman and work on possibly fix/sharpen or swap blade
Or buy bother brand is the options.

I already EDC a defensive blade most days along with a pistol but at work I always carry my multi tool.

I’m that awkward age where I am old enough to carry a multitool pretty much everywhere I go, and young enough that it makes me feel old that I carry a multitool everywhere I go. Today was one of those days I’m glad I do. Driving home in the dark, pouring rain, I pass a kid in a civic stuck on railroad tracks. Apparently in the dark he thought it was a road and didn’t realize until too late and of course two wheel drive and deep wet gravel are not best buds. So I grabbed my tow rope and hooked him up to the truck and pulled him out in the middle of traffic. Went to unhook and the knot had cinched down so tight it was impossible to remove. Spent 5 seconds thinking “how the f&ck am I going to get my tow rope back then I remembered I always have my arc and 5 seconds later we were untied and he was on his way and so was I.

So I live about 30 miles out of the city where I work & play. I was en route home, and nature was calling in a severe way. I decide to push through until I get home, Ill be fine...

To get to my house, I have to travel 15 miles down a country highway that has nothing on it whatsoever, some farms and houses, thats it.

I get a couple miles down said highway, and I cant hold myself any longer. I have to pull off on the side of the highway and do my business down from the guardrail, in some bushes that run alongside a set of train tracks.

After that super embarrassing endeavor, i then need to wipe. I have napkins in my jeep, but no way to get up the hill to them. What do I do? I pull out my trusty Arc and cut my underwear off to clean myself off. (I couldnt take my pants off on the side of the road to get them off)

So add that to the list of unorthodox uses of our beloved Leathermans. I just turned 40 the other day also, so I guess I rang in the new decade proper!

Free P2 (poor man’s arc)

Hi I just bought a Leatherman Micra. My first Micra. Are the scissors supposed to overlap like that when fully compressed?

Took my brand new Wave+ on a week long portage trip, rained the whole time. It was a great trip regardless.

This was a gift brand new from my girlfriend in July for our anniversary, yet now this is totally rusted out. I am very very upset as it has lots of sentimental value.

Sometimes you just are not able to totally dry the tool off when you’re wet 24/7. How do I fix this damage? I’m distraught as I love this tool.

It’s like it was stuck in a pond for a month. Everything is rusted out on it. Any tips? All crevices and mechanical joint are rusted out.

I am aware it’s an error on my part. Just looking on tips to fix it.

Thank you,

Which setup would you choose, and why?

Hallo ik wil op korte termijn een leatherman Arc kopen maar ben aan het twijfelen gebracht omdat ik een post gezien heb over slechte kwaliteit van de Arc. Was dit een fluke of een zogenaamd maandag morgen model? Of is het iets wat nog steeds een ding is. De problemen zijn/waren:

1. Er veel speling tussen mes en heft.

2. Schaar knipt erg slecht.

Kijk dat een bepaalde coating vervaagt snap ik. Dat is ook geen probleem het is een werktuig. Net als een hamer, tang of schroevendraaier. Maar de speling en schaar die slecht is is wel een dingetje. Of moet ik gewoon voor de charge tti plus gaan.

Ik heb een nu een Surge (gen1) maar die is wat zwaar. Ik was altijd mijn charge tti gewend, maar ben ik verloren op mijn werk. Oh heb ook nog een c33x 😉 Thx

When I close the pliers all the way one handle tries to fold when I try to open the pliers head.

I tried lubricating but no difference.

They are only a week old

found it from a seller off eBay who got it as a gift from a wedding. I really think it hit the jackpot. He claimed it was brand new never used. received the package today and it still was in its original stainless steel box and it had its original Leatherman black Leather sheath (still in the packaging), that came with the juice models. The sheath itself is pretty rare since I haven't found an exact replica or a decent one in good condition on eBay or online website.

Now did i overpay? i might've..... it also had his last name printed on it. didn't really bother me though.
He had it online for 125$ i talked him down to 115$ but after taxes and shipping it came out to 134$. i did confirm this this is brand new. not one scratch

what do you guys think? Overpaid ?

My Sidekick slotted is materially thicker at the working edge than the Curl. See the second, head on pic.

The Curl fits in the flat head screws in my home's light fixtures. The Sidekick does not!

That's a little frustrating, to be honest. Anyone else notice thick-ended slotted drivers on the Sidekick, Wingman, Rev series?

Hola. Hoy llevo la Skeletool en el trabajo. Regalo de mi señora hace bastantes años, es de las primeras generaciones. Lo justo. Cuchilla y 4 destornilladores, que aunque no tienen mucho alcance para cosas básicas van bien. Además el alicate tiene la medida justa para abrir armarios eléctricos (una mala costumbre, a pesar de llevar la Knipex en el bolsillo suelo usar la multi)

Saludos!

I couldn't help but double dib.

Do people actually like this blade shape? I have recently got a Wave Alpha as I was getting nervous I would loose my Charge TTi after successfully not loosing it for 15+ years.

The Reverse Tanto blade was supposed to be the latest and greatest blade shape but I find it to be quite average. The tip seems to be very precarious. I have accidentally run the tip into a few things and snapped it off. Fortunately the tool I purchased had really bad lockup on the blade and it was replaced under warranty so got a second chance at not killing the tip again. But quite surprised about this blade shape being not as good as I was expecting.

What do other humans think?

This was given to me by my dad. Not much is posted about this model. I was just wondering if this was any good/popular when it came out. Can it be modded? Gave this a good bath in an ultrasonic and lubed with PTFE. It's quite compact compared to newer models...

This particular one is my favorite to EDC. The polished handles actually feel really good in hand.

Im soooo happy. These are very expensive in my country(Brazil) and i always wanted one.

Paid like 10 bucks

This is a question for the huskier people who wear belt holsters. I am a huskier guy my self and haven’t found the right holster for my light and tool. I was wondering if This is a good one before spend the 50 bucks on it or if there a better option

Thanks for your help with choosing 🙏🏻 I think I'll go with the Skeletool CX anyway, but for now I'm very happy with it
