Leatherman Skeletool CX Multi-Tool - Stainless Box for sale
Leatherman Skeletool CX Multi-Tool - Stainless Box for sale
I purchased this multi-tool once i got tired of always asking someone else for the knife/Gerber/leatherman. It's lasted three military exercises and also a deployment to Afghanistan doing all sorts of random things.
I picked the skeletool since it was LIGHT.
Why?
As the tool you do not mind bringing to you everywhere would be the one you will employ probably the most.
I have seen a good amount of colleagues with enormous multitools and 20+ function devices. Why don't you consider a knife, screwdriver, pliers, and wire cutter? Plus a built-in carabeener/bottle opener allows it to hang on my rigger's belt buckle where we have easy 1-hand access without getting into the way of my hip belt or coat of mail.
That i used to get riffing through the guys while using more complicated multi-tools. But a funny thing started happening. Everyone started borrowing MY Leatherman. Those huge multi-tools have left both at home and in someone's pack, not at their side after they require it by far the most.
I've used every function with this device, including the bottle opener the morning I obtained back from deployment. I could calculate one hand many times I couldn't take advantage of this to complete the job, and all of days past wound up requiring a fanatical tool for the position- it wouldn't are making a change what number of more functions there have been on it.
Only complaints are classified as the bits are really easy to wander away because i really enjoy seeing the part holder gets sort of loose. It's fine if it is closed but if you're messing with something you can lose. You can order bit replacement kits from Leatherman for a couple dollars but it sucks to shed it during nowhere.
Also, the drilled holes from the device that will help save crucial weight is really a magnet for dust and dirt. I never a problem with it functioning i never oiled it, nonetheless it accumulates dirt much faster than when it were in a very case.
Still with those cons this may Be my only multi-tool. Recently i received a Leatherman ALX to be a present. They weigh nearly double the amount of as the skeletool and i also can't even discover a few things i would do wonderful those extra functions. It's getting re-gifted.

Quirky SWT-1-CW1 Switch Modular Pocket Knife with 18 Attachments for sale
Bought this from ThinkGeek, and I would provide like a Christmas present. Looking back, yes, I should have googled reviews for doing this before ordering, because elsewhere, there are many reviews that reveal how poorly this knife was made and constructed. Bankruptcy lawyer las vegas Youtube videos precisely difficult it really is to set up and extract each tool once assembled. And I know those reviews are in existence, but I did to publish my own , personal, because I'm so irritated that such wasteful products prevail. I've got not a clue why ThinkGeek is carrying it. And I do not know why it was featured on Wired.com, while using author saying they loved it. Did they not handle one? Or do they did, but thought we would overlook how badly the "good idea" proved?
I wouldn't discover how this device made it at night prototype. I am talking about, after they developed a prototype, they will have known promptly who's am challenging to offer the tools together so that you can put thread the axle thru the main holes. So after you literally wrestle the axle thru, it's really a pain within the butt to attempt to open a tool. Now, imagine you would like to change tool? I figured obtaining dang thing together was difficult, but holy, trying to get that axle out of the house is merely ridiculous. Nevertheless, they proceeded to manufacture it and distribute it?!!?!?!? Why would you unleash this kind of monstrosity within the world?! Why?
Oh man, I'm so disappointed in ThinkGeek for carrying this piece of engineering disaster (needless to say, now they're offering a $20 discount thereon. hmm, I wonder why.).

MULTI-TOOL SKELETOOL NYLON SHEATH for sale
MULTI-TOOL SKELETOOL NYLON SHEATH for sale
-Backstory-
One of many criterion for any great multitool is versatility, as well as the longest time I assumed that meant more blades, attachments, and enhancements. While that's partially true, that includes a more impressive, heavier footprint. Once i finally upgraded on the heavyweight behemoth that's the Leatherman 830160 Surge Pocket Multitool with Leather Sheath and located myself leaving it in the home more and more often due to its weight, I realized something was wrong.
The truth is most blades/tool-blades seldom straighten out of day away from camping, plus the added size and weight only are designed to discourage daily carry. Barring camping or novelty, when was the very last time you used your wallet-knife's can-opener? Wood saw? Awl? Corkscrew?? Can there be what you need scissors for that are not accomplished having a blade or wire cutter? Does one unconditionally NEED eyeglass-sized screwdrivers on you 24-7? Most daily applications may be accomplished with a simple blade, several drivers, an excellent set of pliers, and a bottle opener ;). That is just what Skeletool standard and CX multitools offer.
-Carryability-
What makes the Skeletool great isn't the *number* of tools, it is the *versatility* of that few, well planned tools, making it possible for a 5 ounces overall weight, slim form-factor, and never one but two carry clips. The typical side-clip is removable (thought cannot be set up in every other positions for the tool) while carabiner actually is considerably more useful than I'd imagined -- I find myself hanging it on my belt loop quite often, keeping my belt free from pouches and my pockets comfortably empty. This negates the requirement of a holster, though you will discover versions from the tool that can come with you ought to you want it.
-The Blade-
Similar to most modern multitools, the Blade rotates open easily, one-handed, without having to open the tool itself. That is a Have to have feature a great Everyday Carry tool, and feels right in the home for the Skeletool. The two.5 inch blade is usually a perfectly functional length for everyday use (again, it is deemed an EDC tool, not only a survival knife, and anything longer would only ensure it is heavier). The CX model comes with an upgraded 154CM steel blade which is *reason enough* to choose the CX above the standard model - 154CM is usually a much better, modern-day steel which holds is edge Wonderfully while providing moderate corrosion resistance and takes just a fantastic ceramic stone to sharpen. Over the past year I've worn the extender for from prying and scraping to box cutting and (in the pinch) cooking, and despite never having sharpened it once the tip is still there (and that is saying much for my knives) as well as it still plenty sharp. The blade's liner lock does a noticeably firm job of holding the blade set up without WOBBLE. Quality! When closed, the blade is stuck place by using a blade-retention bump on the liner lock that mates with one of the skeletonizing holes at the lower blade. Both Skeletools I've used stood a ramp turn over the foot of the blade close to the joint, automatically depressing the retention-bump and allowing safe closure from the blade. One reviewer has proven that his Skeletool doesn't have this ramp, forcing him to grind from the bump or risk placing him thumb at an increased risk each time he closed the blade. It can be yet unclear why his knife didn't get the ramp.
-Half Serrated vs. Full Straight Blade-
NOTE: In mid 2009, Leatherman added half-length blade serrations to standard model and REMOVED them from the CX model. Confusingly, the model numbers were not updated to match the newest configurations. Some online stores can always possess the 'old version' still in inventory, but because the model numbers are the same, there is not any method of knowing what you'll receive. I contacted Leatherman about it and this also is the reply I received:
"I appreciate you for your email whilst your interest in Leatherman Tools. Originally our Skeletool had a "straight blade", as well as the Skeletool CX had a "combo blade". The Skeletool CX incorporates a higher grade of steel in the blade and the from the `knife world' returned to us, and stated that any of us should not use the combo blade with 154cm material. Therefore, in mid year of last year, we launched a design change. ... All Current types of the Skeletool CX are in possession of the straight blade. All current models of the Skeletool develop the combo blade. ... There are numerous retailers available, who've in inventory. We would not affect the item numbers when we made the blade change. Unfortunately, you'll have to just verify who have what in store."
-Bit Driver-
This can be a tool to exchange them and something with the reasons the Skeletool is capable of doing so much yet still be so thin and light-weight. You can carry two double-sided bits along with you (one inch the driver then one from the spare bit slot). I managed to get the Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath bit kit with my Skeletool and found how the two bits I use most are the [#0 & #3] Philips bit, and the [#1-2 & 3/16] Philips & flat-blade combo bit. I could attack any essentially any screw-head and pry at anything without risking damage to the blade. Other bits are stowed within my backpack.
One word of warning: ensure your spare bit slot is tight before clipping your Skeletool on your pack while hiking. A pal of mine had his spare bit hap! Nothing the aforementioned Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath couldn't replace, nevertheless , you still should bend it just a little to tighten this. Mine was fine, which means this most likely are not a challenge available for you.
-Pliers-
The truth is that, the jaws can be a little thinner than I would really like, but have hitherto organized to everything I've thrown at it (including any sort of accident with a Dremmel). Furthermore , it can have been nice should the integrated wire cutters were a trifle harder since they developed a little "bump" after nibbling by using a particularly tough strip of metal. For a time there seemed to be noticeable resistance when closing the pliers, but after a while it's worn itself in. My only lasting complaint is, despite being so thin (3/16ths" at its widest point) the end is simply a tad too blunt to adjust to in the AR-15's firing-pin retaining-pin recess. It would happen to be nice should the "needle-nose" was obviously a little more "needle" ;)
-Bottle Opener-
An absolute nice to obtain. Am I ashamed to admit this alone gets as often use since the remaining portion of the tools combined? Nah ;)
Also, once i contacted Leatherman around the mid 2009 blade change, I was fortunate to obtain a full listing of all Skeletool models. Maybe it'll enable you to, not. Here you go anyway:
Skeletool (Standard) - manufactured which has a combo blade after mid '09
830845: 420HC No sheath, box packaging
830846: 420HC No sheath, Clam packaging
830847: 420HC No sheath, Gift Tin packaging
830865: 420HC Nylon sheath, Gift Tin packaging
830948: 420HC Nylon sheath, Box packaging
Skeletool CX - manufactured that has a straight blade after mid '09
830849: 154CM No sheath, box packaging
830850: 154CM No sheath, Clam packaging
830851: 154CM No sheath, Gift Tin packaging
830866: 154CM Nylon Sheath, Gift Tin packaging
830950: 154CM Nylon Sheath, box packaging
So that's it. Do not let the Skeletool's small size and feature list deter you; The Skeletool is definitely an extraordinary EDC tool!

Nothing the aforementioned Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath couldn't replace, nevertheless , you still should bend it just a little to tighten this. Mine was fine, which means this most likely are not a challenge available for you.
-Pliers-
The truth is that, the jaws can be a little thinner than I would really like, but have hitherto organized to everything I've thrown at it (including any sort of accident with a Dremmel). Furthermore , it can have been nice should the integrated wire cutters were a trifle harder since they developed a little "bump" after nibbling by using a particularly tough strip of metal. For a time there seemed to be noticeable resistance when closing the pliers, but after a while it's worn itself in. My only lasting complaint is, despite being so thin (3/16ths" at its widest point) the end is simply a tad too blunt to adjust to in the AR-15's firing-pin retaining-pin recess. It would happen to be nice should the "needle-nose" was obviously a little more "needle" ;)
-Bottle Opener-
An absolute nice to obtain. Am I ashamed to admit this alone gets as often use since the remaining portion of the tools combined? Nah ;)
Also, once i contacted Leatherman around the mid 2009 blade change, I was fortunate to obtain a full listing of all Skeletool models. Maybe it'll enable you to, not. Here you go anyway:
Skeletool (Standard) - manufactured which has a combo blade after mid '09

The MUT is a good step up the right direction for firearm enthusiasts and professionals. Suppliers I've got begun deploying it and i also am dissatisfied while using the removable bits (the philips and torex bits have learned to strip on first use.) The bits are likely not heat treated for 179 dollars retail every part HAS to last. The MUT holder can also be not constructed well. The stitching noticed that you drop out after the first month of ownership. The scope wrench doesn't securely be in place and is in risky to be lost inside the field (However wrench itself does tighten my tactical scope wonderfully.) As I have begun make use of the MUT pliers more and more I'm experiencing which the folding is loosening very quickly. This concerns me any time extensive put it to use might be too loose and ultimately become a nuisance. I additionally noticed on one side of my pliers had the Leatherman logo ground one fourth of the way off (computer system courses very important that this metal needn't be hard enough and was ground down prematurely during manufacturing.) Lastly the MUT doesn't always have a choice for any straight blade. 179 retail is too much never to have a straight blade option (though the blade is quite sharp.) To summarize this tool is quite well planned, however I'd wait until an extra revision is released before choosing on this product.

The SOG Pocket PowerPlier (PPP) rates among the finest Personally i have tried.

As i require a multitool at the office I want a `real' multitool i always can depend on get the job done accessible .
SOG's Pocket PowerPlier is the most recent addition which has been added to my arsenal of multitools which i keep on consistantly.

Lighter and much more compact versus the PowerLock the Pocket PowerPlier ( Model #S44 ) is quite convenient to carry and employ.

Charge AL with Leather Sheath for sale
Charge AL with Leather Sheath for sale
I acquired this to replace a lost leatherman wave. This blog is claimed to work with better steel in the blades, and is slightly better designed. The thumb holes for that blades are bigger, making one handed opening easier. Tout ensemble an outstanding tool, top quality construction and sturdiness. The screwdrivers will also be better, using removable/replaceable bits. My one complaint is the included leather holster. It works fine, but this holster has nylon elastic sides instead of leather. I much preferred the ALL leather holster the Wave sported. I just now sense that that elastic nylon will break a long time before the leather will. Still a terrific tool, and I'd still pip out again over the Wave.

Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath for sale
Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath for sale
I'm a good fan with the modified Leatherman bits. They have got prove useful more frequently than I thought they may. In fact, exactly the other day I came across myself changing a taillight (within the freezing cold) for the truck with one of these.
The kit isn't cheap, but you are investing in the formfactor and convenience. There's another Wave add-on what allows you to use standard driver bits, but it is considerably larger than this technique.
To start out, they've shaved off about 2/5ths to at least one/2 of the thickness of any standard bit. This permits those to configure a driver slot along with other tools if you don't take in the entire Multitool handle for any screwdriver. This kit features a nice nylon sheath, but I have found that as a little an excessive amount of personally personally. The configuration contains 2 plastic holsters like the bits. They even add a spare eyeglass driver.
I've changed up my daily carry to incorporate the most common bits during one of the two plastic "cards". I put this 1 card in to the back pocket of my Van nylon sheath (I've heard of others doing this on their own leather sheath, but I wouldn't think there's enough room, personally.
Well , i don't really operate the included sheath with both toolbit cards inside. I simply move them around until I receive the desired mix and carry one card with my Wave in one sheath. An incredibly nice method it, and Leatherman obviously had this at heart when producing them.
The only real detractor is usually that the sheath that comes with these is not actually fitted perfectly, but after a little use, it probably could well be better. I just didn't have the possibility.
The purchase price might be a high, however the steel is incredibly premium quality and i also haven't noticed any stripping or spinning out yet. I wish it absolutely was cheaper, but therefore I wouldn't have to carry a big and heavy pack of bits and i am ready to invite that convenience.

Gerber 30-000315 Crucial F.A.S.T. Tool for sale
Gerber 30-000315 Crucial F.A.S.T. Tool for sale
I own the Skeletool CX as well as the Crucial FAST. The CX was my EDC within my blue jeans watch pocket for roughly 1 . 5 years for broadband and satellite installations. The pliers were by far the most disappointing feature, plus it was mainly because of the inferior grip the handles provided. I damaged the wire cutters by attempting to cut wire that had been too rigid. Since screwdriver bits are modular, and something is kept in the handle, rrt had been only a matter of time until at least one fell out. A fast call to Leatherman plus they sent a number of spares absolutely free. Overall I was happy with the CX because it would save me from being forced to concern yourself with carrying multiple tools. However I wanted something a bit more compact, should pliers, and longer screwdriver extensions will be a big plus. I aquired the (green) Crucial about few months ago, and my occupation it really is additional intuitive and ergonomic. After i learned about the FAST I sold the key to your co-worker for $20 who's utilizing it as his EDC. I wound up buying the FAST off eBay since Amazon didn't are on hand back then.
I have already been while using FAST as my EDC for 3-4 months now. This can be a little shorter versus the CX it's the same better to fit in my fob. One reviewer claims that this spring-assisted blade is slow to open. My blade opens in <1 sec after you flick the thumb stud, even though there is certainly some play from the blade it has never once been problems area. The wire cutters cut thru cat5e, rg6, and 10 ga cu ground wire just like a champ. The phillips & flat blade bits have not much play and also have held up to my usage habits. Overall I am happy while using the FAST and have no reservations in recommending it to others. I'll dish out 4 stars because knife blade may very well be made of better steel so it holds a much better edge.

-Backstory-
One of several criterion for a great multitool is versatility, but for the longest time I figured that meant more blades, attachments, and enhancements. While that's partially true, that does mean a greater, heavier footprint. Once i finally upgraded towards heavyweight behemoth this is the Leatherman 830160 Surge Pocket Multitool with Leather Sheath and located myself leaving it in your own home more and more often to its weight, I realized something was wrong.
The reality is most blades/tool-blades seldom straighten out of day outside of camping, and the added size and dimenstions only are designed to discourage daily carry. Barring camping or novelty, when was the last time you used your wallet-knife's can-opener? Wood saw? Awl? Corkscrew?? Is there what you probably have scissors to the are not accomplished using a blade or wire cutter? Do you unconditionally NEED eyeglass-sized screwdrivers giving you 24-7?
Most daily applications might be accomplished which has a simple blade, a couple drivers, a fantastic set of pliers, along with a bottle opener ;). And that is what the Skeletool standard and CX multitools offer.
-Carryability-
Why is the Skeletool CX great isn't the *number* of tools, is it doesn't *versatility* of that few, well planned tools, permitting a 5 ounces overall weight, slim form-factor, instead of one but two carry clips. The standard side-clip is removable (thought cannot be positiioned in some other positions for the tool) as the carabiner actually is a great deal more useful than I'd imagined -- I find myself hanging it on my belt loop more often than not, keeping my belt free from pouches and my pockets comfortably empty. This negates the advantages of a holster, though you will find versions in the tool which come with you will need to you want it.
-The Blade-
Similar to modern multitools, the Blade rotates open easily, one-handed, and never have to open the tool itself. It is a MUST HAVE feature a great Every Day Carry tool, and feels right in your own home around the Skeletool. Both the.5 inch blade is often a perfectly functional length for everyday use (again, it is deemed an EDC tool, not really a survival knife, and anything longer would only help it become heavier). The CX model has a upgraded 154CM steel blade and is also *reason enough* to choose the CX over the standard model - 154CM can be a much better, newer steel which holds is edge Perfectly while providing moderate corrosion resistance and takes just a fantastic ceramic stone to sharpen. During the last year I've put on the extender for from prying and scraping to box cutting and (in a very pinch) cooking, and despite never having sharpened it if the tip continues (and that is saying lots for my knives) and still plenty sharp. The blade's liner lock does a noticeably firm job of holding the blade constantly in place without WOBBLE. Quality! When closed, the blade is kept in place with a blade-retention bump on the liner lock that mates with one of the skeletonizing holes near the lower blade. Both Skeletools I've used stood a ramp turn over the base of the blade at the joint, automatically depressing the retention-bump and allowing safe closure in the blade. One reviewer has proven that his Skeletool CX does not have this ramp, forcing him to grind off of the bump or risk placing him thumb vulnerable whenever he closed the blade. It truly is yet unclear as to the reasons his knife didn't get the ramp.
-Half Serrated vs. Full Straight Blade-
NOTE: In mid 2009, Leatherman added half-length blade serrations to standard model and REMOVED them through the CX model. Confusingly, the model numbers weren't updated to match the modern configurations. Some retailers may still develop the 'old version' still in inventory, but as being the model numbers is the same, there is not any technique of knowing what you'll receive. I contacted Leatherman with this and also this would be the reply I received:
"We appreciate you your email whilst your desire for Leatherman Tools. Originally our Skeletool had a "straight blade", and the Skeletool CX stood a "combo blade". The Skeletool CX features a higher grade of steel in its blade and people inside `knife world' go back to us, and stated that we must avoid using the combo blade with 154cm material. Therefore, in mid year of not too long ago, we launched a design change. ... All Current models of the Skeletool CX now have the straight blade. All current models of the Skeletool develop the combo blade. ... There are some retailers available, who've inside inventory. We would not customize the item numbers when we made the blade change. Unfortunately, you will have to just check to see who's what in stock."
-Bit Driver-
This can be the tool to interchange them all and one of the reasons the Skeletool is capable of doing so much yet still be so thin and lightweight. It is possible to carry two double-sided bits with you (one in the driving force and one from the spare bit slot). I acquired the Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath bit kit with my Skeletool and found that the two bits I prefer nearly all are the [#0 & #3] Philips bit, along with the [#1-2 & 3/16] Philips & flat-blade combo bit. I am able to attack any pretty much any screw-head and pry at anything without risking injury to the blade. All of those other bits are stowed in my backpack.
A word of warning: make sure your spare bit slot is tight before clipping your Skeletool onto your pack while hiking. A friend of mine had his spare bit fallout! Nothing the aforementioned Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath couldn't replace, however , you still may want to bend it somewhat to tighten it up. Mine was fine, and this is probably not a difficulty available for you.
-Pliers-
I admit, the jaws are a little thinner than I need, but have to date delayed to everything I've thrown at it (including a mishap using a Dremmel). Furthermore , it would've been nice in the event the integrated wire cutters were a trifle harder as they developed a little "bump" after nibbling via a particularly tough strip of metal. For a time there was noticeable resistance when closing the pliers, but after some time it's worn itself last. My only lasting complaint is always that, despite being so thin (3/16ths" at its widest point) the end is simply tad too blunt to fit inside the AR-15's firing-pin retaining-pin recess. It might happen to be nice if your "needle-nose" was a little more "needle" ;)
-Bottle Opener-
A certain nice to obtain. Am I ashamed to admit this one thing gets just as much use because remaining tools combined? Nah ;)
Also, once i contacted Leatherman about the mid 2009 blade change, I became fortunate to secure a full set of all Skeletool models. Maybe it'll help you, maybe not. Here you go anyway:
Skeletool (Standard) - manufactured having a combo blade after mid '09
830845: 420HC No sheath, box packaging
830846: 420HC No sheath, Clam packaging
830847: 420HC No sheath, Gift Tin packaging

Leatherman 70101003K Juice C2 Pocket Multi-Tool Inferno Red for sale
Leatherman 70101003K Juice C2 Pocket Multi-Tool Inferno Red for sale
This is, in my opinion, almost ideal for an Daily Carry (EDC) multitool. I researched before I bought, and i also sided while using the Juice C2 within the Juice S2 and CS4. I'm a wine drinker, and thus is my partner, and are also my friends. We're always traveling, and we're always finding inside ourselves need of a corkscrew. I get a utility drawer packed with cheap waiter's keys which are purchased on the road. We've tried putting corkscrews in this suitcases, but inevitably something mucks up and then we turn out needing one more.
I lost my venerable Swiss army knife. Rrt had been a Victorinox Tinker, and i also loved it. When searching for an alternative, I'd been immediately interested in the assisted corkscrew on many of the Juice models. I want to be clear: The assisted corkscrew works being a waiter's key. The can opener's lip comes with a fulcrum point that can help the screw pull the cork. Swiss army knives have corkscrews, but they all require you to physically retrieve the cork, which oven shreds it. The Leatherman Juice models don't shred corks, they pop them out. If you'd like a corkscrew in your EDC, you'll need a Leatherman. Period.
I'd personally have liked scissors. Leatherman used to make a model referred to as SC2, which combined the S2 and C2. Now, if you want those things you must possess a saw and an awl about the CS4. So, I selected the C2 and live without worrying about scissors.
It's still an excellent product. Good-sized combination pliers, chisel-tipped flathead screwdrivers, a strong Phillips #1 which doesn't manage to strip or chip, an incredible bottle opener, a good can opener (it will eventually get the job done), and a main blade that's sharp enough to shave with, right as is also. Additionally, essentially the most frequently used tools (bottle opener, corkscrew, and knife) are accessible without having to open the tool. This all is at an attractive red package that literally disappears into jean pockets.
If you are a wine drinker, now is your EDC best ally. I'm making use of it constantly in places and situations I've never even considered. I'm snipping vines while using wire cutters and turning bolts with all the pliers. I'm using the needle-nose tips as tweezers along with the small flathead being a punch. This tool may be worth every penny. Obviously, the afternoon Leatherman reintroduces the SC2, I'll pip out.

Leatherman 831104 Super Tool-300 Multitool in Gift Tin Premium Sheath for sale
Leatherman 831104 Super Tool-300 Multitool in Gift Tin Premium Sheath for sale
I have tried several multi tools and this is my personal favorite. What stands apart most for me is the chance to fold out straight away to use with the base of any 90 degree angle. Other multi tools will not have a chance to fold the pliers into the whites when open, therefor making it additional challenging to remove screws with any obstructions around them. The new blade lock release and rolled edges are a fantastic improvement over the old super tool. Like I said, We've 3, one out of my tool belt, one in my car and another during my camp/go bag.

Leatherman MUT EOD 850132 Multi-Tool for sale
Leatherman MUT EOD 850132 Multi-Tool for sale
I purchased the tool being an field accessory for my AR-15 type rifles. The carbon scraper and punch tools are easily accessible but I needed some difficulty treatment of flat screwdriver Phillips screwdriver combo from the slide-in slot. It wasn't stuck however it must still be slid out from its storage slot and there is no textured area or notch unofficially to take action. I love the general design, simplicity along with the fact its got a clamp for belt carry or a carry pouch. The belief that its stated in Oregon is really a plus also.
The tool is kind of heavy for just a belt carry tool i am wondering if using lighter weight alloy metals could reduce the weight. However, for this would also probably result in a higher price as well as a reasonably expensive ($150 range) since it is. Overall if you are a AR platform rifle shooter I recommend the Leatherman MUT EOD tool system like a handy field accessory.

PocketToolX Piranha Multi-Purpose Pocket Tool for sale
PocketToolX Piranha Multi-Purpose Pocket Tool for sale
The dimensions of this tool are approximately 4 inches by 1.5 inches. It can be 1/8 inch thick unless you count the part holder in between, which is softer plus more like 3/8 inch thick.
I enjoy enjoy it during my hands due to the shape and all of the rounded edges and jimping. However, its practicality is restricted, no less than in my opinion. Usually the one time I desired to make use of the wrench openings, they proved too small. The bottle opener, however, is very rewarding :)
Since I also own the Brewzer tool because of the same company, I simply usually do not know that the Piranha adds anything necessary to me. The Brewzer is almost as capable but smaller (and cheaper) and that i contain it by himself daily. The Piranha has the bit holder which turns it in to a decent flat/Philips screwdriver (or maybe you can put your own personal bit for customization) - this is the main value add I see. The Brewzer can be a semi-decent flat tip screwdriver itself.
Considering the fact that I as a rule have either a good plier-based multitool or tool box not far from me (inside my bag or even in the car), I find yourself not carrying or while using the Piranha daily. It truly is too large to get on my keychain or fit in my pockets with my other junk - this is the role that the Brewzer plays much better.
Overall this is an excellent looking and relatively lightweight tool. If paired with a blade of some sort or other, it provides a Leatherman multitool or Swiss Army knife a run for the money. It is additionally among the best (in any other case the very best) flat tools, and definitely superior value than the unique Peter Atwood tools. While in my opinion this may not be a regular tool, I can tell how many gear junkies will see it useful.

Leatherman 850032 MUT EOD Multi-Tool for sale
Leatherman 850032 MUT EOD Multi-Tool for sale
This really is in reply to your previous review, not to negate what they have to said in the least, but must the wonder if or not they knew what they were buying. The MUT EOD was created for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Breaching personnel. The "cheap" parts have become valuable to those folks who carry a black rifle (AR-15, M4 or M-16) in our obligation. The bolt clearing device works very well which enable it to put you back within the action in seconds, rather than the need to "sit that one out". Having scored no less than one firing pin with disastrous results, I will be thankful Leatherman position the softer bronze cleaning blade about this tool. Nothing for the MUT EOD was a mistake. The various components that may wear out are easily replaced (wire cutter, scraper blade, etc.) as well as the rest of the tool is sturdy enough to snap serious punishment. My suggestion is simply this: If you don't need a C-4 punch or det-cord cutter/crimper, find the utility version from the MUT. It really is excellent with the handywork of daily living and have the job specific stuff the EOD does. But, if you would like the EOD tools, this is just the most beneficial you may get. Rugged, ready plus a real lifesaver when it's needed.

Leatherman Charge Titanium Multi - Tool for sale
Leatherman Charge Titanium Multi - Tool for sale
This is an addition to my colletion of Leatherman products, including most of their multitools and folding knives. The item itself is GREAT; total function and fairly light to work with; adequately constructed and fit/finish is excellent. However, the sheath is of low quality - materials and assembly are generally below the Leatherman standard I have known in past times. The stitching is marginal and even the "snap closure" doesn't work. Please reveal to me -- WHAT HAPPENED LEATHERMAN ??? It appears to be a shame how the "flagship" on this company's multitools is downgraded with the case that's meant to make it. I chose to help keep this tool rather than returning it (from need), and am now carrying ot available as one of my toolbox drawers, WITHOUT the case. Incidentally, Used to leave a message through the "seller feedback", but I didnrrrt get any response. Awesome knife,awful sheath. GJM

I used to own the full-size Leatherman tool, but found I rarely been with them when camping while i needed it since it was too bulky then it always sat in your house in a drawer. This tool does an excellent job of balancing frequently used tools in a tiny enough design which i can transport it around without it feeling cumbersome. The trade-off with the reduced dimension is fewer features. But There is I wouldn't really miss the characteristics that have been left off that model because I didn't utilize them usually. This model still has many different screwdriver heads, a knife, pliers, and scissors (which work "ok", a lot like primary school classroom scissors). For most popular tasks, that's plenty. There are many other functions on it however the ones I pointed out are the types I personally use probably the most. The building feels solid, just like a typical Leatherman.

Leatherman LEA831105 Super Tool 300 Multitool with Black Oxide Finish for sale
Leatherman LEA831105 Super Tool 300 Multitool with Black Oxide Finish for sale
I purchased my Super Tool 300 w/ Black Oxide Finish because I usually found myself needing a tool, and i also never had one on me. Luckily, it's pretty much every tool I would ever requirement for a compact job on there. Furthermore, it's very very smooth to open and close, so that you doesn't have to be sitting there to get a minute looking to pry the fact open. The knife blade into it is exceedingly sharp, I had to reduce through old rope that's about 1 inch in diameter, and something swipe made it happen easily. The saw blade is incredibly strong also, tearing through wood with out a problem. The first day i had it, some black residue came off on my hands, but I was expecting that after reading some other reviews. The "hidden" stripper and crimper are excellent as they do not occupy room in the tool, these are integrated along with other tools. Plus, the black finish looks awesome. I keep this tool in my pocket everyday, i am an advanced student. I recommend to accomplish a similar.

Leatherman 830678 Charge ALX with Leather Sheath and Gift Tin for sale
Leatherman 830678 Charge ALX with Leather Sheath and Gift Tin for sale
We have numerous multitools eg. Super Tool 300, Charge TTi as well as Victorinox Spirit and Swisstool. Away from the many multitools my favorite is undoubtedly the Charge ALX. The ALX is comparable to the Charge TTi but has aluminum handle scales. The titanium around the TTi is supposed to more professional and premium material but it really does not feel of the same quality around my hands. It always felt and looked unfinished to me. The ALX alternatively has smooth, comfortable aluminum scales that looks killer, like a premium quality knife. If scissors really are a must then opt for the Charge TTi. Personally I rarely make use of the scissors to ensure the dual bit driver for the ALX is the perfect configuration in my opinion. Its nice to have always a philips and flat head driver/allen key done to you (since some jobs require both). With the Leatherman bit kit the ALX is easily the most capable multitool Ive encounter which enables it to tackle most medium duty tasks.

SOG Specialty Knives Tools B61-N EOD PowerLock Black Oxide for sale
SOG Specialty Knives Tools B61-N EOD PowerLock Black Oxide for sale
SOG is usually a company that, typically, lives approximately its name (SOG would have been a top-secret team from the Vietnam war that performed sabatoge, psyops, and special operations for your CIA). The organization consistently produces innovative, effective products (although they don't come cheap). The B61 is unquestionably my personal favorite of their type of multitools, this is because it is rather simple, and extremely effective. Most multitools like Leatherman and Gerber are exactly like most pliers... essentially two items of metal fixed together in a single pivot point (yeah, Gerbers use a pretty cool way of opening up, however they still have identical basic overall design). Now, the common multitool has a leverage ratio of just one:8, and therefore you have 8 pounds of force on whatever is within the plier head's grip for every single 1 pound of force you apply towards handles. With all the B61s, the leverage ratio is 1:14. That's enough to cut via a quarter as if it were butter (trust me, I've tried... this morning, actually. Don't ask). The reason for it is how the handles pivot collectively on gears, as well as the plier head is coupled to the handles just underneath the gears. Ever since may well not add up (I'm horrible at explaining things), but you'll receive it in the event you think about the picture.
The instruments from the handles are made of high-quality steal, and after almost a year I've never had one break on me, like I did so with these multitool (a Gerber). The flip-up covers over the tool-side in the handles will often sink as is also not permanently fixed towards handles to permit anyone to take out them, but are easily snapped back on and really do preserve your hands in the case when you need to apply some real force.
I have two complaints using this product... the socket drive as well as the knife blade. The spring accustomed to maintain the socket one the motive force fell off in just a month. Nonetheless, I've never had to work with it, and SOG sells individual components if you wish to customize/replace your multitool, so it were an huge issue. The knife blade, while easily sharpened, isn't the biggest quality. What i mean is it may not be the leading portion of multitool and SOG knows this, and gave the blade an effective grind somewhere and left another side flat. I have no trouble with this either because I also carry a pocket knife. If you prefer a multitool with a blade onto it, hope the SOG PowerAssist.
Overall, its a lot for the tool of this quality, and yes it hasn't left my side since i have purchased (that's saying a great deal).

Leatherman 78105003K Juice XE6-Pocket Multi-Tool Thunder Purple for sale
Leatherman 78105003K Juice XE6-Pocket Multi-Tool Thunder Purple for sale
I've owned lots of multitools over time, produce an original Leatherman that's two decades old at this stage, and still have many other Leatherman tools therefore i know their line fairly well. The Juice is at certain techniques the top thought of all those meals, but my tool has one big flaw. The springs within my model are definitely more over a little weak. It couldn't survive so bad whether it were first in the small tools, but unfortunately it's for the larger knife blade plus the Wharncliffe style blade. Usually the springs in Leatherman items are very secure, however , not however. Perhaps I simply got one by incorporating weak springs. Also, the equipment don't lock into place as on many multitool products currently.
Overall, though I like it and it has many pluses. The springs for the screwdriver are strong, though, and it snaps into place which has a satisfying click. Tools fold from the inside and not in the handle, therefore you have a few more smaller tools including small screwdrivers. It's more compact than your typical multitool. As someone mentioned above, the knife blades seem like hollow ground. (I'd actually prefer straight sides for additional strength, but some people do like hollow ground blades for ease of sharpening and lightness). And also the bright metallic colors are cool, apart from that one isn't actually Thunder Purple much as dark passionate pink. Finally, the Juice comes in several different models using a greater or lesser amount of tools, according to your family needs.
Except possibly for that Leatherman Wave, I do believe this can be the best tool Leatherman makes yet.

Gerber 08239 MP800 Legend Multitool for sale
Gerber 08239 MP800 Legend Multitool for sale
As being a building superintendent, I wear a multi-tool everyday on my belt, and use it often. I had been really looking foward to getting the Gerber given it offered two main features i always wanted - single-handed opening blade, and tools that all lock open. With all the multi-tools being manufactured today, simply mind boggling how few offer these crucial (in my opinion) features in an tool. The Gerber Legend will be the only tool I'm aware about that has both a single handed opening blade and tools that most lock open. If anyone looking over this knows of another tool which has both these features, please tell me.
Well then , i'll first say that Gerber makes many great innovations on this tool. The rotateable/replaceable inserts with the wire cutters is an excellent idea, with the replaceable jigsaw blade and also the spring-loaded pliars. That being said, I'll organize my review into two classes - Major Mistakes and Niggles.
Major Mistakes - The pliars don't open wide enough. The particular tips on the needle-nose pliars don't even pass an inch apart---15/16ths to get exact. To purchase enamel from the pliars, you'll need to be 5/8ths inch or smaller! Compare these numbers while using Leatherman Super Tool's 1 3/4" opening with the tips along with a full inch-plus in the teeth. I'm that this small opening on the Gerber pliars will disappoint a lot of people - simply won't be capable to grab plenty of stuff you'd expect to manage to. Personally, easily can't pull off a shower-head or fawcet aerator with it, that's a lot of the usefulness in the pliars gone at that time. Major, major mistake on Gerber's part, particularly (seemingly) this can have easily been engineered differently.
Some tools are challenging to open. The phillips screwdriver recesses beyond the boundary from the tool if you close it fully, making the nail catch unattainable at. Luckily, the tip of my pinky finger is small enough to acquire in there and pull it by the tip. But I understand a good amount of guys for whom this may be impossible to spread out. Ditto with the file/large flatblade...it features a thumb-nail catch...however when you close it fully it gets completely recessed behind additional flat-blade screwdrivers! And I mean totally! But if your hands are greasy or sweaty (the lot practical) you're not received it out without taking the rest of the stuff out first. Major, major mistake on Gerber's part, especially when this can be so easily fixed - there's plenty of room there for just a nice accessable nail catch.
Niggles - The rubber grips are stickers then one was released within the second day of use. Why place them in any respect? Have you thought to just cast the knurled surface in the handles? The completed of the tool is nowhere nearby the finish of any leatherman. Casting marks are evident for the handles, the thumb-studs are inserted after which impacted in the other side to hold on to them in situ (which may be an exceptionally strong and lasting (time will tell) and cost-efficient way to gather but is ugly and cheap-looking. The jigsaw blade is stuck place by way of small metal clip that does not appear like it will eventually withstand much abuse (time will inform using this type of too).
It is a shame I couldn't give this tool an improved review. It has a lot of stuff looking for it...easy fold, innovation, plus a great locking system that's user friendly. I must say i desired to as it even so the pliars thing is so major...I'm going to have to change it out eventually just for that 'cause this doesn't happen pay to hold finished . around easily can't grab stuff from it. Cause me to feel one with all the fit and handle of an Leatherman and fix the other simple stuff and you've got it.

Leatherman 830657 Wave Pocket Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath and 6-Piece Bit Set for sale
Leatherman 830657 Wave Pocket Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath and 6-Piece Bit Set for sale
Today I received the Wave which incorporates the additional number of bits- (Amazon exclusive) which (at the time of this writing) is cheaper versus the regular Wave minus the extra pair of bits. First let me just say the Wave multitool is excellent and deserves 5 stars however the finish with this particular "Amazon exclusive" version is lacking. It almost appears to be rrt had been used, refurbished or a factory 2nd although there is no indication on amazon item's page or even the item's box. The multitool is a little scratched up in few places there was dirt/dust inside pliers. Also, the folding action isn't as smooth when i had hoped it will be. This item came factory sealed and so i doubt that it's a buyer return. The scratches inactive anything away from the function with this multitool, I just now expected a much better condition for doing this being "new" in case I made a decision to give it like a gift. I am going to keep and use it to see the way it stands up. Simply wanted to give people oversees who think they're buying a large amount here about this Amazon-exclusive Wave with all the extra bit set.

Tool Logic SLPB2 Tactical Folding 1.2 Serrated Knife With LED Flashlight Magnesium Fire Starter and Signal Whistle Black for sale
Tool Logic SLPB2 Tactical Folding 1.2 Serrated Knife With LED Flashlight Magnesium Fire Starter and Signal Whistle Black for sale
I bought this knife because I liked the thought of the multi-tasking highlights of this knife: a flash light, fire starter, and whistle. But, it is affected with the death of multi-taskers: it performs every one of the tasks, but none fine.
The build is robust, i won't hesitate to consider this knife over a camping or hunting trip - in my tool box or trapped in a motor vehicle. This knife didn't work effectively for me clipped towards the in my jeans pocket for everyday use - it is large and bulky, so forget about while using the pocket for anything bedsides carrying the knife. The clip is simply too far for the middle of the knife resulting in the knife to stick up high outside the pocket, making it easily noticed and i also found it to be in the way.
I really could not get the fire-starter to begin a fireplace to avoid wasting my well being. I've used magnesium matches before, but this blog just didn't work. It sparked, but is not enough make straw or dry shavings to light or smolder. Maybe I acquired a poor one?
The flashlight is bright, but I found it easy turn on accidentally in my pocket. The whistle works, but it's less loud an urgent situation whistle needs to be.
The knife looks great and feels good with your hand. It truly is high quality and relatively well made (especially compared to the Tool Logic SL3 Firesteel knife), but I prefer a knife I could carry when camping and use, i found I used to be leaving this blog home an increasing number of due to its bulk, weight, and awkward carry within my pocket.
Main point here, it is a nice-looking well-made knife with a few interesting specs of questionable value, but probably isn't the best knife for daily carry because of it's ergonomics and bulk.

Gerber 31-001047 Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Pack with Multitool Flashlight and Fire Starter for sale
Gerber 31-001047 Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Pack with Multitool Flashlight and Fire Starter for sale
Let me start with saying it can be OKAY. It's produced in China therefore the quality is shoddy. I have used it for a couple miscellaneous tasks and am afraid I most certainly will break it. ALL of my other Gerber products are actually manufactured in the U.S.A. and therefore are amazing, some happen to be inherited from my dad if you ask me likewise and be more effective than the. I don't know when Gerber sent their items to become made in China but I am going to not purchase Gerber anymore as a consequence of it. In the absolute emergency I might utilize this but it really would be my extra last choice. If you're looking for something to throw into an emergency kit that you just wouldn't use often I'd say you could see better for less money and I would not recommend this.

Tool Logic SLP2 Tactical Folding 1.2 Serrated Knife With LED Flashlight Magnesium Fire Starter and Signal Whistle Silver for sale
I've owned and traded over a hundred high-quality knives over thirty years, most often custom-make and priced today with a minimum amount of $300. However it seems that factory produced knives are earning great strides, using this model for instance.
My opinion, it is deemed an excellent combination knife and tool for the purpose. Grind and steel are excellent. Liner lock is ideal for its function. LED is amazingly tiny and functional. Grip and handle facts are nice. Plastic components are good material.
I've got only 1 ironic criticism. The stainless alloy inside blade does not offer an adequate spark from the magnesium rod. A lower grade steel sparks much better. It isn't really a simple problem, just something the proprietor must know just for them to carry a brief section of hacksaw blade or various other odd piece of steel to figure the firestarter.

Leatherman 78108003K Juice XE6 Pocket Multi-Tool Storm Gray for sale
I got myself this for my husband serving in Iraq. He a Leatherman before this, not the same one but was obsessed about the Leatherman product. That is a great little pocket tool with multiple uses. Actually in excess of almost every other models in existence. The dimensions is perfect. Not too big but not to little. Love along with too. As far as pricing, this is the best site to visit to for this product. I originally bought identical one out of purple at REI. I paid $103 during this store. Just a little bit of price checks online, I ran across this $40 less expensive and a more fitting color for my husband. He loves and yes it and i also feel great about my purchase choice on Amazon.

Gerber 05500 MP400 Compact Sport Multi-function Tool for sale
Gerber 05500 MP400 Compact Sport Multi-function Tool for sale
The Gerber MP400 is a superb tool... and it's really this... an instrument! It's small/compact which you may take everywhere. It is great for occasional use as well as moderate everyday use. If you're looking for something for heavy use, have a regular tool box. To get a multi-tool from the $20-$30 range it's economical and offers the job done.
Pro's - it's one hand opening on the pliers is good plus the locking feature for those other tools is essential have, particularly the blade. Check your grip design permits you to grip down hard without hurting your hand unlike some of the other flip multi-tools such as Leatherman's.
Con's - the tool can be a extra sturdy. They have some flex in the design particularly when turning a strong screw. The information accustomed to manufacture the tool is soft. The pliers are manufactured with such precision that you need to oil it occasionally. Thank heavens for WD-40!
Option - the included Gerber sheath is often a belt-loop design. I suggest one from Ripoffs (Model CO-12 or CO-13). Its clip-on design allows you to have on / off your belt (without pulling down your pants).
Conclusion - if you need a tool considering the features to acquire through every day, you won't be disappointed with the MP400. If you want the Rolls-Royce of multi-tools, this is not it. This can be a Chevy pickup using the rust spots still driving outside.
Update (12/2011): Since my original review, my MP400 has been through multiple USARs around the world, including lately Hurricane Irene as well as the earthquake in Christchurch (NZ). Will still be supporting enjoy it was new, not to mention it is a life-saver.
The Gerber MP400 is a superb tool... and it's really this... an instrument! It's small/compact which you may take everywhere. It is great for occasional use as well as moderate everyday use.

Leatherman 68010101K Crunch Pocket Multi-Tool with Leather Sheath for sale
Leatherman 68010101K Crunch Pocket Multi-Tool with Leather Sheath for sale
Once i found Leatherman is really a tool with locking pliers, I needed to have one. I really made the purchase. Impressions follow:
1. Usually situations are bigger than I expect, but this was less space-consuming than I expected. Maybe it's just the truth that I've used big, bulky Vise-Grips all my life, but I actually expected this tool to be hefty. It is not bad that it is small, and the plier jaws open nice wide despite their small size, but I'm nonetheless surprised it's mostly no bigger than my Wave, even when open.
2. It's not as hard to plan use when i had expected. Yes, you need to unfold the plier jaws, and yes, you must clip the handle into place on the jaws; but, due to the fact with ANY locking plier you should stand there and adjust the force screw before the jaws clamp down with just the right level of force anyway, the extra "assembly" was required to make use of the pliers isn't significant.
3. The craftsmanship just isn't as good when i expected. Things are all plenty strong, but the fit and handle isn't up to par using the newer, "post-Wave" tools. The plier jaws aren't the same width, the folding tool lock is to push and give you a wide range of feedback, the folding tools themselves flop around a tad, the depend upon the jaws is just a little too tight, the folded-sheet-metal handle is simply a little bit too wide for your stuff it holds and thus it got crimped a trifle when the rivets were driven into place, etc. It isn't crappy by any means, nonetheless it does not have that laser-cut, precision-machined believe that my Wave has.
Three stars for doing what it says it lets you do not having any noticeable weaknesses. Should they improved the style spec so everything fits to a T, it could get four stars. Whether it were the tool of my dreams with everything I'd like and nothing I do not, it would get five.
-- UPDATE 5/15/2008 --
I've had my Crunch now for a few months, i feel compelled to bump my review up a notch. Why? Well, it may not be because I've revive appreciate the not-quite-perfect fit and handle with the tool -- that still bugs us a tiny bit. Rather, it's because over the past several months I've noted which the Crunch is THE most useful multi-tool ever created.
I took a gamble when I bought my Crunch, because I had created serious doubts precisely useful a mini-size lockjaw plier might be, no matter if coupled with a symbol choice of tools. All I could say is, "boy was I wrong". If anything, the small height and width of the lockjaws make them a lot more useful than full-size Vise-Grips, since they can be employed in so much more places than Vise-Grips can. Also, considering the fact that multi-tools are apt to have crappy leverage compared to full-size pliers, the ability to clamp the lockjaws onto something after which focus all of your attention on moving the one thing as an alternative to keeping the jaws from slipping is unspeakably convenient.
I became initially concerned with the relatively small number of fold-out tools how the Crunch has, in comparison with other multi-tools...but in truth, almost every other multi-tools just have 50 slightly-different sizes of flathead screwdrivers anyway, when all you'll ever should get is one. Well, the Crunch has three, two of which are coupled with a tin opener as well as a metal file, meaning there's really one flathead screwdriver worth mentioning. So there's no unnecessary duplicity there. Meanwhile, the knife and also the crosshead screwdriver are predictably indispensable, and the metal file is handy every now and then. So that all told, the tools how the Crunch has are more than adequate.
My complaints regarding the fit-and-finish with the Crunch still stand; Leatherman could start a better job of earning everything fit together ideal, i wish they'd make the the perfect time to do this. But having said that, the Crunch certainly is the Leatherman to buy in case you are actually going to use it for real work.

Leatherman 830037 Wave Multitool with Combination Leather and Nylon Sheath for sale
Leatherman 830037 Wave Multitool with Combination Leather and Nylon Sheath for sale
Pros: Good collection of sturdy tools. One-hand opening blades conveniently put on the exterior in the tool as presented in the sheath. All safety locks be effective.
Cons: Not enough specialized tool to tension on pivots -- main blade mechanisms and grip pivots were quite stiff as received. Weight is somewhat excessive at 8.5 ounces; exposed un-radiused steel edges are sharp and uncomfortable; there are numerous pinch-points within the mechanical design; the sheath, advertised as leather, is nylon which has a leather flap, which is too big to the tool, with side pockets apparently for non-existent accessories.
In all of the, I obtain the tool is adequate for carry and employ for day-to-day chores, at least for awhile. Will still be somewhat stiff, but seems to be breaking along with use. I'm employing a sheath from the Buck multitool, which inserts much better. I'll be going through the Swisstool next to see if its ergonomics undoubtedly are a better fit for me.

Surge Black Oxide Black Nylon Sheath for sale
Surge Black Oxide Black Nylon Sheath for sale
I just now received this tool as a gift on Christmas. It is rather well-built and capable to do just about anything you would demand it to from tightening the tiny screws on a watch to assembling a bookcase to fixing your car or truck. I've got the black oxide edition of the surge and since described in other reviews, your hands will be black for any small amount of time while initially working together with it. The tool is solid; superior to some other multitool I've ever used. I'll update the review at a later date if this does not do some tips i imagine it will eventually but thus far, My business is very stunned at this tool. Would suggest this to everyone.
3/12/10 Update: I take advantage of Amazon frequently and realized simply how much I trusted reviews when making selections so thought I'd personally update that one to help you others. I build haunted houses all year round to the Halloween season and construction is in the early stages for the 2010 season. During the pick up from last year's event, all I basically needed was my multi-tool plus a drill. The multi-tool track wires, ties, unscrewed challenging to reach nuts holding a fence together as well as sliced through fencing wire being a hot knife through butter! Another guys on the worksite needed to borrow it and found it helped them into their tasks besides. It has definitely been a large asset about the worksite. Not a soul should be without one of those tools over a worksite. It happens to be one of the most impressive tools I have ever owned or worked with. Would highly, endorse this to anyone.
August, 2011: Well I've had this tool for quite a while now and make it when camping everywhere you go (can't make it to be effective but otherwise, We have it with me). It is just a little heavy and doesn't fit well having a set of shorts in the weekend barbeque therefore i "had" to find the wave. That one continues to be one of the best. And leatherman can be an awesome company. Sometime during last fall while i was using it, something broke for the handle that needed to be replaced. I called leatherman and they also believed to mail it for many years. They sent another quickly and it took merely a little while to have my an alternative one, it felt like an eternity! I had no idea how dependent I did become for this tool. During our haunt builds, many of the inventors have these as well as other as opposed to drills and impact drivers, it's being essentially the most reached for and used tool on our belts. If you don't have a leatherman, you would like, One more time, need one!

Gerber 31-000674 MP450 Compact Sport Multitool and Paraframe I for sale
Gerber 31-000674 MP450 Compact Sport Multitool and Paraframe I for sale
I believe there are better multi-tools out there...the Leatherman Core or perhaps the Gerber Diesel for instance. But, each of those tools are a great deal more expensive items. This little MP450 in excess of suffices for which I desired. This can be a bit less space-consuming than I expected nevertheless it gets the job(s) done...the pliers, cutters, wire strippers, screwdriver(s), file, bottle opener, can opener, and small knife blade were really the main features I used to be trying to find in a very multi-tool. I became wanting for something affordable to toss in my hiking/camping pack...and for this sort of application I recommend this set. The retractable plier head kinda threw me off to begin with the good news is that I've tried on the extender I kinda like it. All of the fold out tools seem sturdy enough and they all lock into place. The knife is alright. I am not saying really a fan of serrations with a knife blade nevertheless the straight edge component of the blade sharpens up pretty nicely and I decided who's would work nicely as my meat cutting knife since the only cutlery I already have got around my pack is usually a stainless-steel spork(it's to cut having a spork). This will let me use my other knives for their intended purposes without having to worry about sanitizing them for eating purposes after they are gutting fish, cleaning small game or processing wooden. The knife as well as the carry case for the multi-tool were manufactured in China...I'm not really a fan of products made in China but to each their unique. The multi-tool was actually manufactured in north america which forced me to be more comfortable in purchasing this set, as I mainly simply wanted the multi-tool. Overall, it is a good value if you're able to catch on to get a good price. I wouldn't pay in excess of about $25-$30 just for this set when you can manage it. I had been lucky enough to acquire this attack sale for $19.99 at Academy in Texas. So, due to that, Let me should give this set 5 stars...if I had paid $30 for that set We would probably rate it 4 stars. All in all though it's a good multi-tool that wont hurt you wallet. For anyone who is the kinda guy that is gonna makes an EDC item worn in your belt and plan to utilize it heavily you'll want to hope the Gerber Diesel instead. But, for my purposes this lil tool is ideal.

Leatherman 830866 Multi-Tool Skeletool CX Nylon for sale
Leatherman 830866 Multi-Tool Skeletool CX Nylon for sale
-Backstory-
On the list of criterion for just a great multitool is versatility, and for the longest time I believed that meant more blades, attachments, and enhancements. While that's partially true, that does mean a bigger, heavier footprint. When I finally upgraded to the heavyweight behemoth that is the Leatherman 830160 Surge Pocket Multitool with Leather Sheath and found myself leaving it in your own home more and more often due to the weight, I realized something was wrong.
The reality is most blades/tool-blades seldom straighten out of day over and above camping, and the added weight and size only are designed to discourage daily carry. Barring camping or novelty, when was the very last time you used your pocket-knife's can-opener? Wood saw? Awl? Corkscrew?? Can there be everything else you probably have scissors for your can not be accomplished having a blade or wire cutter? Does one unconditionally NEED eyeglass-sized screwdrivers you 24-7? Most daily applications may be accomplished using a simple blade, a couple of drivers, a good pair of pliers, as well as a bottle opener ;). And that is just what the Skeletool standard and CX multitools offer.
-Carryability-
Why is the Skeletool great isn't the *number* of tools, it does not take *versatility* of the company's few, well planned tools, taking into account a 5 ounces overall weight, slim form-factor, rather than one but two carry clips. The typical side-clip is removable (thought is not positiioned in some other positions on the tool) while carabiner actually is a lot more useful than I'd imagined -- I find myself hanging it on my belt loop most of the time, keeping my belt clear of pouches and my pockets comfortably empty. This negates the need for a holster, though you can find versions in the tool which come with you need to you would like it.
-The Blade-
Like most modern multitools, the Blade rotates open easily, one-handed, while not having to open the tool itself. This can be a Have to have feature on an Everyday Carry tool, and feels right in your house on the Skeletool. Both the.5 inch blade is really a perfectly functional length for everyday use (again, it becomes an EDC tool, not a survival knife, and anything longer would only ensure it is heavier). The CX model posseses an upgraded 154CM steel blade and is particularly *reason enough* to choose the CX in the standard model - 154CM is a superior, newer steel which holds is edge Adequately while providing moderate corrosion resistance and takes simply a fantastic ceramic stone to sharpen. In the last year I've put on the extender for from prying and scraping to box cutting and (in a very pinch) cooking, and despite never having sharpened it if the tip continues (that is saying a lot for my knives) and it is still plenty sharp. The blade's liner lock does a noticeably firm job of holding the blade in position without WOBBLE. Quality! When closed, the blade is stuck place with a blade-retention bump about the liner lock that mates and among the skeletonizing holes at the lower blade. Both Skeletools I've used has a ramp delve the foot of the blade nearby the joint, automatically depressing the retention-bump and allowing safe closure on the blade. One reviewer has proven that his Skeletool does not have this ramp, forcing him to grind over bump or risk placing him thumb in danger when he closed the blade. It really is yet unclear that explain why his knife didn't get the ramp.
-Half Serrated vs. Full Straight Blade-
NOTE: In mid 2009, Leatherman added half-length blade serrations to standard model and REMOVED them through the CX model. Confusingly, the model numbers cant be found updated to fit the modern configurations. Some trusted online stores may still develop the 'old version' still in inventory, but because the model numbers are indifferent, there's no strategy for knowing what you'll receive. I contacted Leatherman relating to this and this also is the reply I received:
"I appreciate you for your email and your desire for Leatherman Tools. Originally our Skeletool has a "straight blade", plus the Skeletool CX were built with a "combo blade". The Skeletool CX incorporates a higher grade of steel in their blade and the inside the `knife world' returned to us, and stated that individuals must avoid using the combo blade with 154cm material. Therefore, in mid year of recently, we created a design change. ... All Current types of the Skeletool CX will have the straight blade. All current models of the Skeletool develop the combo blade. ... There are a few retailers on the market, with both in inventory. We wouldn't get a new item numbers after we made the blade change. Unfortunately, you'll have to just be certain who's what on hand."
-Bit Driver-
This can be a tool to change them all and one in the reasons the Skeletool can do a lot yet still be so thin and light-weight. You possibly can carry two double-sided bits along (one out of the driving force and one within the spare bit slot). I bought the Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath bit kit with my Skeletool and found that this two bits I personally use the majority are the [#0 & #3] Philips bit, as well as the [#1-2 & 3/16] Philips & flat-blade combo bit. I'm able to attack any just about any screw-head and pry at anything without risking harm to the blade. Other bits are stowed in my backpack.
A word of warning: ensure that your spare bit slot is tight before clipping your Skeletool on your pack while hiking. Someone of mine had his spare bit go on! Nothing these Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath couldn't replace, and you still might want to bend it a bit to tighten this. Mine was fine, which means this will not be problems in your case.
-Pliers-
The truth is that, the jaws can be a little thinner than I would really like, but have so far delayed to everything I've thrown at it (including an accident having a Dremmel). It also could have been nice if the integrated wire cutters were a trifle harder while they created a little "bump" after nibbling by way of a particularly tough strip of metal. For some time there was noticeable resistance when closing the pliers, but after some time it's worn itself last. My only lasting complaint is the fact that, despite being so thin (3/16ths" at its widest point) the end is just a tad too blunt to adjust to from the AR-15's firing-pin retaining-pin recess. It'd are nice should the "needle-nose" was obviously a little more "needle" ;)
-Bottle Opener-
A certain nice to own. Am I embarrassed to admit this alone gets as often use because the other tools combined? Nah ;)
Also, as i contacted Leatherman around the mid 2009 blade change, I had been lucky to secure a full directory all Skeletool models. Maybe it'll assist you, maybe not. Here you go anyway:
Skeletool (Standard) - manufactured with a combo blade after mid '09
830845: 420HC No sheath, box packaging
830846: 420HC No sheath, Clam packaging
830847: 420HC No sheath, Gift Tin packaging
830865: 420HC Nylon sheath, Gift Tin packaging
830948: 420HC Nylon sheath, Box packaging
Skeletool CX - manufactured using a straight blade after mid '09
830849: 154CM No sheath, box packaging
830850: 154CM No sheath, Clam packaging
830851: 154CM No sheath, Gift Tin packaging
830866: 154CM Nylon Sheath, Gift Tin packaging
830950: 154CM Nylon Sheath, box packaging
So that's it. Don't allow the Skeletool's small size and show list deter you; The Skeletool is surely an extraordinary EDC tool!
-Backstory-
On the list of criterion for just a great multitool is versatility, and for the longest time I believed that meant more blades, attachments, and enhancements. While that's partially true, that does mean a bigger, heavier footprint. When I finally upgraded to the heavyweight behemoth that is the Leatherman 830160 Surge Pocket Multitool with Leather Sheath and found myself leaving it in your own home more and more often due to the weight, I realized something was wrong.
The reality is most blades/tool-blades seldom straighten out of day over and above camping, and the added weight and size only are designed to discourage daily carry. Barring camping or novelty, when was the very last time you used your pocket-knife's can-opener? Wood saw? Awl? Corkscrew?? Can there be everything else you probably have scissors for your can not be accomplished having a blade or wire cutter? Does one unconditionally NEED eyeglass-sized screwdrivers you 24-7? Most daily applications may be accomplished using a simple blade, a couple of drivers, a good pair of pliers, as well as a bottle opener ;). And that is just what the Skeletool standard and CX multitools offer.
-Carryability-
Why is the Skeletool great isn't the *number* of tools, it does not take *versatility* of the company's few, well planned tools, taking into account a 5 ounces overall weight, slim form-factor, rather than one but two carry clips. The typical side-clip is removable (thought is not positiioned in some other positions on the tool) while carabiner actually is a lot more useful than I'd imagined -- I find myself hanging it on my belt loop most of the time, keeping my belt clear of pouches and my pockets comfortably empty. This negates the need for a holster, though you can find versions in the tool which come with you need to you would like it.
-The Blade-
Like most modern multitools, the Blade rotates open easily, one-handed, while not having to open the tool itself. This can be a Have to have feature on an Everyday Carry tool, and feels right in your house on the Skeletool. Both the.5 inch blade is really a perfectly functional length for everyday use (again, it becomes an EDC tool, not a survival knife, and anything longer would only ensure it is heavier). The CX model posseses an upgraded 154CM steel blade and is particularly *reason enough* to choose the CX in the standard model - 154CM is a superior, newer steel which holds is edge Adequately while providing moderate corrosion resistance and takes simply a fantastic ceramic stone to sharpen. In the last year I've put on the extender for from prying and scraping to box cutting and (in a very pinch) cooking, and despite never having sharpened it if the tip continues (that is saying a lot for my knives) and it is still plenty sharp. The blade's liner lock does a noticeably firm job of holding the blade in position without WOBBLE. Quality! When closed, the blade is stuck place with a blade-retention bump about the liner lock that mates and among the skeletonizing holes at the lower blade. Both Skeletools I've used has a ramp delve the foot of the blade nearby the joint, automatically depressing the retention-bump and allowing safe closure on the blade. One reviewer has proven that his Skeletool does not have this ramp, forcing him to grind over bump or risk placing him thumb in danger when he closed the blade. It really is yet unclear that explain why his knife didn't get the ramp.
-Half Serrated vs. Full Straight Blade-
NOTE: In mid 2009, Leatherman added half-length blade serrations to standard model and REMOVED them through the CX model. Confusingly, the model numbers cant be found updated to fit the modern configurations. Some trusted online stores may still develop the 'old version' still in inventory, but because the model numbers are indifferent, there's no strategy for knowing what you'll receive. I contacted Leatherman relating to this and this also is the reply I received:
"I appreciate you for your email and your desire for Leatherman Tools. Originally our Skeletool has a "straight blade", plus the Skeletool CX were built with a "combo blade". The Skeletool CX incorporates a higher grade of steel in their blade and the inside the `knife world' returned to us, and stated that individuals must avoid using the combo blade with 154cm material. Therefore, in mid year of recently, we created a design change. ... All Current types of the Skeletool CX will have the straight blade. All current models of the Skeletool develop the combo blade. ... There are a few retailers on the market, with both in inventory. We wouldn't get a new item numbers after we made the blade change. Unfortunately, you'll have to just be certain who's what on hand."
-Bit Driver-
This can be a tool to change them all and one in the reasons the Skeletool can do a lot yet still be so thin and light-weight. You possibly can carry two double-sided bits along (one out of the driving force and one within the spare bit slot). I bought the Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath bit kit with my Skeletool and found that this two bits I personally use the majority are the [#0 & #3] Philips bit, as well as the [#1-2 & 3/16] Philips & flat-blade combo bit. I'm able to attack any just about any screw-head and pry at anything without risking harm to the blade. Other bits are stowed in my backpack.
A word of warning: ensure that your spare bit slot is tight before clipping your Skeletool on your pack while hiking. Someone of mine had his spare bit go on! Nothing these Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath couldn't replace, and you still might want to bend it a bit to tighten this. Mine was fine, which means this will not be problems in your case.
-Pliers-
The truth is that, the jaws can be a little thinner than I would really like, but have so far delayed to everything I've thrown at it (including an accident having a Dremmel). It also could have been nice if the integrated wire cutters were a trifle harder while they created a little "bump" after nibbling by way of a particularly tough strip of metal. For some time there was noticeable resistance when closing the pliers, but after some time it's worn itself last. My only lasting complaint is the fact that, despite being so thin (3/16ths" at its widest point) the end is just a tad too blunt to adjust to from the AR-15's firing-pin retaining-pin recess. It'd are nice should the "needle-nose" was obviously a little more "needle" ;)

Gerber 31-000749 Bear Grylls Survival Series Ultimate Multi-Tool With Nylon Sheath for sale
Gerber 31-000749 Bear Grylls Survival Series Ultimate Multi-Tool With Nylon Sheath for sale
The one other multi-tool I've owned is definitely an SOG Specialty Knives & Tools S61-N EOD PowerLock. While I favor my PowerLock, I desired something that was lighter, smaller, plus more convenient, and this also has a great balance. It's no more than an ounce lighter compared to the SOG, however it is nearly an inch shorter, so that it is easier to wear. More importantly, having all of the tools accessible on the outside of is more convenient than the PowerLock. Have a locking mechanism, i look at a necessity, but it is one area the location where the Gerber comes short. Unlike the PowerLock's gentle but effective lever and flat spring, the Gerber incorporates a sliding lock that has a compression volute spring. It's stiff which enables it to rub your fingers raw with overuse, i worry about how well it is going to endure as we grow old. While the Gerber doesn't have the stove of tools from the PowerLock, and also hold the biggest ones. The flat Phillips head screwdriver doesn't look impressive, but it is worked when I needed it. I haven't tried the combined tin opener/bottle opener yet, that is the other one I think looks iffy.
Others have remarked that this really is comparable to the Gerber Suspension Butterfly. There's a minimum of one difference, in this it possesses a great rubberized grip rather than the open one of many other Gerber tool, i consider a noticable difference. It could have better weatherization, as other reviewers have remarked that it seems less susceptible to rusting than other Gerber tools, but that is anecdotal, therefore i are not absolutely clear on this. Whatever the case, the value was lower after i purchased it, therefore the cost differential was considerably less. It's a good tool, overall, and I've found it worth the price.

Leatherman 830684 Charge TTi Multi-Tool with Leather Nylon Combination Sheath and Gift Tin for sale
Leatherman 830684 Charge TTi Multi-Tool with Leather Nylon Combination Sheath and Gift Tin for sale
We have owned a couple of Leatherman multi-tools in the past. A final Leatherman I purchased was the revolutionary Wave. My goal is to compare the Charge TTi with the New Wave.
Unfortunately my Vanguard was stolen, but I understand that tool adequately. I owned the Tactical Avant-garde, that is oxidized in black. Functionally the Charge TTi along with the Avant-garde are very similar, except a couple of subtle differences. Take into account After all functionality, not material or aesthetics. Actually where the tool is involved really the only difference functionally is that the Charge TTi incorporates a cutting seize on the serrated knife plus the Vanguard doesn't. Also the Charge TTi incorporates a crimper. Really that's the plan where the actual multi-tool goes. Other tools are indifferent. The Charge TTi does include 6 additional bits (this means 12 additional tools). Both multi-tools possess a large and small bit driver. For around $12.00 you can find 21 double-ended bits which will work for either the Charge or perhaps the Avant-garde. I might list the many other tools, but Amazon already does that.
One huge difference will be the material. The reason why one could easily get the Charge TTi happens because it's handles are designed with titanium along with the main blade is made with S30V stainless steal, that is a greater quality steel then this New Waves 420HC stainless and also better then 154CM stainless on the other versions on the Charge (AL, ALX, Ti). In fact, S30V is a few of the finest steel you will get on hunting knives and multi-tools today. Also the Charge TTi should be durable then Leathermans other multi-tools. Another advantage is the fact with the Charge TTi you obtain 6 additional double-ended bits which be easily carried throughout the included sheath. Finally the Charge TTi just looks better i believe. That's no issue though because I search for function before I try to find aesthetics.
Really in involves things you need. For anyone who is merely a recreational user i then would recommend the brand new Wave. It's less expensive then your Charge TTi and it is almost even as functional. You don't get the additional bits or even the cutting hook but you're not missing excessive. I very rarely need to use some of the additional bits that had the Charge TTi. Also, while S30V is far superior then 420HC you almost certainly wont care an excessive amount of. It's possible to sharpen the revolutionary Wave if you need to. If however you're an industrial user and also you rely on your multi-tool heavily on a regular basis next , i would recommend the Charge TTi. You'll really appreciate the more achieable quality S30V and you should probably have more use out of the additional bits. Also the extra strength from the Charge TTi is undoubtedly a plus. This tool gets 5 stars because it's flawless. It does cost more, but what / things you expect when you're choosing a multi-tool which has titanium handles plus a blade and among the biggest grade stainless steels now available? Try pricing other blades which may have S30V stainless, they may not be cheap! If I wouldn't have found this kind of ton about the Charge TTi next , i wouldn't hesitate to receive another New Wave. It becomes an amazing tool but make sure it's everything you have the need for.
