Leatherman Charge Ti: Medium Duty Perfection

[@Prometheus1111]

i think i'm a mt addict now. thanks for enabling me in my addiction brother!! in the last 2 weeks i have gotten the wingman, p4, crunch, ti, and victorinox spirit x.

[@Xeil]

Got one these for my dad for christmas. Had given it to him before christmas and since then he's loved the thing and cut himself several times with the blade on it. It is SHARP. I got him the mechanic type one as he's always tinkering with stuff. Great tool, little spendy, but it'll last a very long time.

[@RepublicanMetal]

Ordered a TTi with the help of your expertise!!! Appreciate it, i almost went off with a gerber flik. Thanks for the Reviews

[@propdoctor21564]

After guns and knives now Nutn got me hooked on Leatherman multi-tools... Just bought the Charge last week after buying most of the Leatherman models I could find for sale on ebay... I've got 16 of them so far...

[@photofudge]

Thank you as always for great reviews. I take most of your thoughts on products as gospel, until I use the item myself. I was saving my pennies for a Charge Ti, when I came across an old version of the Wave on sale at a Kmart. $30 later I am very happy. Although the edges are a little sharp, it still has the build quality you spoke of. After saving the bucks on the Leatherman I had enough left over for a Fenix L2D flashlight. Thank Mrs. NF for letting you spend so much of your time on reviews.

[@bogeymanF1]

great vid! got a Ti and TTi...im using my Ti most of the time. makes me proud to see this vid. thanks!

[@WeekendWarrior1210]

I've been thinking about buying an excellent multi-tool, and this vid just sold me on the TTI!

[@bradyblackburn4863]

I've just ordered one after carrying either a Gerber or a SOG for almost a decade. I'm excited.

[@555Gear]

Would love to see an update on your fav MTs Nutn!

[@tygre7]

Good call, nutn. In my EDC: Leatherman Charge AL in backpack side pocket; Victorinox Climber (black) in pocket, always, always, always.

[@StoutNerd]

i love all your videos, i got the Charge Tti thanks to this video and i have already ordered the leatherman juice for edc, if you could post a video on how to proper clean your knives would be awesome, keep up with the great videos!

[@quigon87yt]

I purchased this tool "Charge Ti" about a month & I love this tool. I have a Surge & Wave also but the build quality on the Charge Ti gives it a slight edge over the other two. But I admit I purchased the Surge mainly for the scissors, your right scissors due matter.

[@guglielmomancini8470]

Leatherman Charge TTI is amazing, Leatherman in general is amazing.

[@ericsligar6582]

i just walked in to an REI nearby and ordered the charge tti as the only empty home on the leatherman rack was the charge tti. It will be here in a week and am eagerly waiting to get it

[@atheo1010]

Nutnfancy and Cutlerylover should team up for the ultimate gear review channel! hosted by both of them

[@tkfreak1]

have it on me every day but the tti version very useful love it

[@KingOfBanks]

"I have tried to open a car door with this...that would not be wise..." Great stuff

[@74Hobbes]

Thinking of asking this for Fathers Day as the backup to my HD 300...hmmmmmm. Very intriguing......yes indeed! :-)

[@RJFogs]

"There are certain times where I need a clean cut on a limb". Thought I was watching Dexter for a second.

[@xBeauGaming]

3:10 the new version has a hook cutter

[@faded_special]

Also that large flat-head screwdriver can be filed (slight angle, not sharp) into a nice chisel, haven't had the occasion to use mine but I'm sure it would work well with something to strike the butt with; this tool is built like a tank.

[@wolfinside]

What can I say, another great Nutnfancy review and video! Thank you!

[@Antstar123]

The Charge models are made of higher quality material like hard anodized aluminum, titanium, s30v, and 154cm. While the wave is just made out of 420 hc steel. Also the Charge models come with 6 double ended bits, a pocket clip and removable lanyard ring. All of the extra stuff works with the wave but you have to buy it separate.

[@ZZOTH]

the wave (which i have) costs less because it's made out of slightly less strong steel for the main blades. and the TTI has titanium in the handles. also the TTI and TI have a kind of metallic grain on the handles for better grip. essentially they are the same though.

[@guusdejong2523]

Got the charge AL, love it!! Also got a victorinox alox bantam, which is like a single layer cadet

[@EarthboundV1]

the leatherman charge tti is my next buy. didnt really have my eye on it and was considering the 300, but after some reviews, including this one, it looks like my next edc. especially like that it has scissors.

[@JoannaJedrzejczyksForehead]

Every single plain edge blade that leatherman makes blows Victorinox's out the water

[@rothbern]

if you are on a budget, the wave is a great tool, ive had the same one for years and abused it, and it never fails me...i just like some of the added materials and features that they bring in the charge tti....btw size, form factor and weight are all identical (ok, weight differs by like .2 oz. but nothin you can detect)

[@Antstar123]

The Ti is now a retire tool, but the AL (same thing with hard anodized aluminum) is around $110 and the TTi is around $130.

[@dhena81]

I love leatherman tools I carry a Wave around daily. I'd love to see a review on the leatherman MUT utility.

[@demonchacer]

i hav a surge. i like the big scissors it has and the fact u can choose from either a file or a saw and the awl is very useful. only downside is its kinda heavy. im debating wether to get a wave or a charge

[@PatrioticSlaughter]

@GoldenColts while they're at it they can add titanium or aluminum plates on the outside and make the surge more comfortable to handle when using the outside blades. That would make it the ultimate multi tool in my opinion.

[@Ballisticbob517]

I just got the TTI for christmas and its awesome, the blade is razor sharp in s30v steel and it comes with (drumroll please) a pocket clip!

[@SuperRip7]

So glad it works.

[@sirhorsechoker]

It doesn't really seem like huge difference over a wave. The pocket clip is the main improvement for me. It's almost the same knife.

[@willybob128]

I checked and Nutn's right about leatherman discontinuing stuff. I checked and the Charge Ti and the Squirt P4 are both discontinued(as of June 2010).

[@sangreviento69]

great review man

[@faded_special]

I have the TTi (learned about it from a vid by a fan of Nutnfancy). One thing on this tool that it seems doesn't get recognized as a useful tool is on the inside edge of the file, there is a ridged edge which is obviously deliberate - I've tried cutting both PVC tubing and particle board (MDF) with it and it works decently. Call it an 'easter egg'.

[@BelindaTN]

Just discovered your videos and am totally enjoying. Got a question. Which one of the multi tools cuts through wire the best? Such as fence wire. Will any of them cut through barbed wire? We trail ride horses, and it is not uncommon for horses to get tangled in downed and hidden fence wire on the trails. My daughter was hopelessly tangled in barbed wire after falling from her run away horse. Wished Leatherman had a model that included a hoof pick for us equestrians.

[@DJJimCowley]

looks like a file on the outside aswell he he.... nice vid

[@ahmedatm]

i love multi tools addicts soooooo much

[@iflickuoff]

"im not gonna talk about the juice s2...great compact relatively light weight multitool" LOLZ :)

[@glocker199]

The Leatherman has some great features. It's unfortunate that I can't give them my money in good conscience. I'm in the market for a new multi-tool and I'm planning on looking at the SOGs as I've been pleased with their knives. Any othersI should check out?

[@Tommy132Z]

@razorhanny Hey, I believe it's Remington's own oil for gun/tool cleaning and lubrication. And to stop corrosion.

[@Sparky6string]

Wish you would have addressed the various sheaths available with the Charge. One is really large that can hold flashlights on the side etc.

[@Troop66Guide]

@zachsbanks i just got the charge tti and i would recommend it over the wave, its a lil more expensive but the blade is s30v, far superior to the 420 on the wave, the titanium is also corrosion resitant and i like the rescue cuttter on the tti, to me the extra price is worth it for the quality, if ur serious about ur tools the charge tti wins and the wave is for the basic guy tht just needs a tool to get the job done, i hope tht helps

[@Federalwaywebbs]

Charge Ti is the best... hands down... you can't go wrong as described by nutn

[@darkgodofdeath]

Have you ever thought about reviewing the Surge? I use it in my edc and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@PatrioticSlaughter]

I think the Surge gives you more bang for your buck. With the ALX you give up your scissors for a dedicated saw and file when you can have both with the blade changer on the Surge. And honestly I have found the hook on the serrated blade to be nearly useless, it just weakens the serrated blade. As far as inside tools go, the Surge has more to offer with the awl and the flat blade or mini prybar. The Surge is a little heavier though.

[@shavefan12]

Love your Chanel nutnfancy. Can the scissors be resharpened on these MT's?

[@nutnfancy]

@Knifemaster464 Hahaha! I had to run it back to see what you were talking about. He just thought he was in the closet..we all knew. ;) -- Veri

[@CreightonMiller]

Seriously considering one of these. You know what it needs though? A knife sharpener! People who own tons of knives have multi tools like the Charge TTi. A sharpener with replaceable surfaces. I would get it, if that counts for anything.

[@adambailey1762]

I think the TTI is just the newer one, it replaced the TI. there are a few diffrences. you can see the vid I did on it if you want to know what they are.

[@OTEP1234567891011]

Hey nutnfanct great review! um,at around 5:13,i believe that might be a "nail nock" or a "nail nick" or a "nail groove",i'm not really sure what it's called. it's used to help get it out i think. you know,they're found on alot of slipjoint pocketknives. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. LOVE IT!!!

[@loveisthething]

your just as crazy for multitools as I am Do you have the victorinox swisstool? It's major competition for the leatherman company not sure which brand i like better now

[@busansanai]

Leatherman website tells me Charge Ti is great for emergency and off-road, while Wave seems to cover more areas in their 'great for' list......I am thinking of getting a leatherman and a victorinox... mainly to cover things that one doesn't have while another does. Would Wave be a good buy compared to Charge Ti if main thing I'll be using it would be urban EDC + camping + outdoors?

[@yurigglutube]

Great video, I has this charge tool ... and sadly I should admit that those removable bits you've mention are almost useless as it's impossible to reach with them anything(i needed).At least philips screw driver just do not work, because screw is usually in hole or some distance and this tool is too bold to get there ... small one (flat) - was broken with the first use, and it was a tiny screw, so it was used properly, nothing else could be applied there...so this is my experience with it

[@erashadow]

Thanks for the video, i learned a lot are you going to do a review on the leatherman MUT when it comes out?

[@stevebarnes2]

S30V main blade, cap crimper in pliers and a gut/cutting hook on the back of the serated blade.

[@tellmeitsnottaken]

I really wish they would make left-handedness an option. That's about the only gripe I have with Leatherman.

[@joemartin9366]

I thought when you said "limb" you meant like an arm or something :D

[@GoldenColts]

Leatherman needs to make a new one like the Surge but with S30V blades, the crimper, and the rescue cutter (that would make it have 20 tools =O!)

[@OTEP1234567891011]

you can you a sharpening system with "triangle sharpening system". i reccomend the spyderco sharpmaker

[@profjaykay]

ahh i love this knife, i carry it around with me everyday, and i use it everyday. Mine is a very tad different though.. anyways great video

[@Antstar123]

Nutnfancy, I just got a Charge TTi, and I was wondering what tool you preferred more, the TTi or the Ti and AL.

[@DJscooterTEAM]

yeah i got the military black wave thanks for the reply

[@SamuraiCommando]

I wish the file was removable so that you could take burs off the blade if that were to happen. Also wish you could somehom remove the screwdriver so that you could repair the knife. I had the tesioner on my scissors get loose on my surge and I had to get another screw driver with the security torx bit to repair.

[@Huron_Zeus]

He'll do that to you, I don't know if buying 16 leathermans would be classified as hooked though haha.

[@hunter35474]

So basically the Charge Ti and the Charge Al are just the new Wave tool with a different handle material.

[@tamaplayer22]

love leatherman pliers but the cutters don't cut stranded wire well

[@nirvana613]

I have had some problems with my pliers when use the wire cutters.The material I am cutting sometimes gets stuck between the two blades and when I try to open the pliers the handles fold.So what I want to ask is how can I tighten the screws on the handles considering the screws have pins in them ?

[@nutnfancy]

Great price. You were wise not to pass that up.

[@homemadealcoholstove]

for anyone who owns a Charge TTi, or knows about it, is the tool able to be dissasembled? because of the quality of youtube, I cant tell if those are rivets or hex bolts....

[@jrobertsrhs]

@zachsbanks the al is the in between of the two

[@Stagg369]

yeah..and its stronger and if im correct the charge has scissors and the wave has not

[@rothbern]

the wave has scissors i believe...the main differences between the charge and the wave has to do with materials

[@Frost_on_YouTube]

Tti or AL. I like the Tti for everything but absolutely despise the wore crumpets in the plier head.

[@Hennypenny8888]

I've just got myself a Charge AL, and the file is not aligned in the centre when closed. It rubs on the inside of the black aluminium scales. Has anyone encountered the same issue? Would this be covered by the warranty?

[@23madskilz23]

Hey nutnfancy, got a question for you. I've got a supposedly Leatherman Charge TTi from amazon germany but the handles look just like the ones on the Ti you reviewed in this video (not the greenish-dark grey titanium handles it usually has). Although, my main blade's steel is S30V and on the box it does say Leatherman Charge TTi Titanium. What's your oppinion?

[@NOMADlikeMW3]

He uses it he just takes care of it. Also this is an older leatherman so the problems you face now may not have existed ~3 years ago

[@kygarcia7]

yo what's your likeability scale on the charge tti? thanks for the great reviews

[@starcraft21000]

hey nutnfancy do u have a re view on the leatherman surge?

[@durden91tyler]

mine came with 21, came with the full bit kit,

[@thegr8tganj]

is that a magnet strip you added to the side there? if not what is the story behind that little black strip on the side.

[@19smalltown89]

my new charge ttihas some wobble in the straight blade and it kinda rubs the scales a little i am considering sending it in for repair or am i overreacting

[@pr0n00by]

between this and the S2. which would u recdommend? the sizes of the 2 are not very different. would this be worth paying more?

[@inuyashacoolieo]

i think the flathead is good for opening paint cans

[@Prometheus1111]

oh yeah, i almost forgot i also got a s2 and a gerber octane.

[@moha17777]

i like your reviews but you never say how it will function if it falls in sand or something and how hard it is to clean. i would realy appreciate if you would put this in your mt and folding knife reviews.

[@Kowetor]

Does anybody know the difference between the Charge Ti, and the Charge TTi ???

[@jrobertsrhs]

@aznmigitman1118 i think the can opener doubles as a bottle opener

[@salazar16alex]

I have the Charge Ti, and it seizes to impress me everyday. One of my uncles offered to buy it from me but I said no. Im not putting a price on mine

[@DJscooterTEAM]

should i get a wave or a skeletool

[@drcstudios]

@benphillis1 That would be the more modern TTi version...

[@Premium_Bear]

Is there any real advantage of the TI vs the AL variant of the charge? Thanks!

[@Eksteven4321]

Please review sog power assist b66-n!

[@DwightSchrood]

i got a leatherman charge alx for $55. I'm happy.

[@davidkrowa4153]

what is the difference between the Ti and TTI ?

[@guusdejong2523]

Guthook and wire crimper I believe

[@Bsmitty358]

when he said he needs a clean cut on a limb, i was scared till he said a tree

[@yurigglutube]

question, do you know how to sharpen those tools by the way?
