Leatherman Free T4: The All-Metal Virtual Anti-Depressant - Preparedmind101

[@DeconstructedWithJosh]

The more time passes, the more appreciation I have for this little thing. People complain about using the file for metal, and getting metal shavings stuck inside due to the magnets... But reality is, this tool was designed for urban use! If you see it for what it is, it's a great EDC tool!

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

flash back to one of my Engineering classes: the Phillip's screw was invented by John Thompson in the early 1930's. it got it's name from the owner of the tool company that bought his design Henry Phillips.

[@TheMcpvideo]

Wow KZbin watching a video about an awesome knife and learned a little bit of history as well thanks 👍

[@jamiehess4211]

And we also rejected a much better fastener, the Robertson square-bit screw. Canada was smart enough to snag them instead. Invented in Philadelphia.

[@lyricishaan2880]

pro trick : you can watch movies on kaldroStream. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.

[@mathiasjaxson4079]

@Lyric Ishaan yea, I've been watching on Kaldrostream for since december myself :)

[@Bob-I-am]

I prefer using the T4 over my Victorinox SAKs. Like that the individual tools lock firmly.

[@MLKusername]

"You gotta scratch that itch... or police might get called." This guy gets it.

[@jamesmcnary4939]

I like that Leatherman is doing knives. Sometimes I need plies though, the Wave and Surge are still my favorites.

[@woodentulike2no]

My Leatherman T4 paired with my Microtech SOCOM Elite covers everything I need to do on a daily basis.

[@davidvermont]

Very helpful video. It is more complicated deciding which multitool to buy then which EDC knife to buy. Decisions decisions. When on the go use the scissors more than the pliers. Still, not sure between the P4 and the T4. My uses are basically just EDC.

[@Roman-lu1xn]

Phillip hangs out with a guy named Terrance, for a floppy headed Canadian he's an OK dude.

[@bryanstone654]

Pair it up with a Knipex Cobra pliers, either the 4 inch or the 5 inch, and you'll find it superior to all the plier-based fold-out multitools. Knipex costs more than Channellock and Crescent 4.5 inch Tongue and groove pliers but 100% worth it. Worth a review...

[@alros1212]

I have a set of the 125mm knipex pliers and that’d go well with this, I carry an SAK daily too.

[@Mike-kc8rl]

Does it use that magnetic system like that free series to hold in the back side tools? The downside is the locking blade so illegal here in the UK ! Would be nice to see a non lock version though!

[@twhouser]

Well, I learned something today ;-) Henry Frank Phillips (June 4, 1889 - April 13, 1958) was an American businessman from Portland, Oregon. The Phillips-head ("crosshead") screw and screwdriver are named after him.

[@JoeDurobot]

*So after all those years Leatherman "invented" the Swiss Army Knife.* *I really don't see the point of that thing when you can get a Victorinox with the same fucntions.*

[@zelja.]

I agree. Now we wait until Victorinox invents pocketclip. 😀

[@kongandbasses8732]

This. And a Swiss Tool. It will outperform every Leatherman I ever had. And I had a lot. But never again touched a Leatherman after I've got the first SwissTool.

[@jaybarr3307]

Brilliant. Truly.

[@bryanstone654]

Leatherman sees the writing on the wall that plier based multitools are about to go out of favor now that Knipex Cobra pliers have hit the scene. Now everyone wants a plier-less MT to pair with their Cobra.

[@boratborat8045]

Use a swiss army, then this- this is alot more heavy duty. Blades & tools are thicker gauge steel. I have bent a couple swiss army knifes but not this one yet!

[@garypotter5569]

If you are not looking for a pair of pliars in a multitool, Leatherman? That opens up a WHOLE NEW WORLD of possibilities! If Leatherman actually took this approach seriously they could UTTERLY eclipse Victorinox.

[@PongbyAtari]

My T4 has been my daily carry since launch I as well am a big fan of the FREE Series quality fun stuff!

[@kettchuk918]

Since I got it 3 months ago, it’s never left my pocket and it gets used lots every day. I’ve heard people complain that it’s bulky, then they have a massive knife in their pocket so yeah, that’s bullshit.

[@jeffslaven]

Leatherman generally hits it out of the ball park. The Free series took a little time to grow on me, but this is something that I would definitely put in my pocket knife rotation!

[@stalwart263]

Henry F Phillips patented the cruciform screw and driver and it was first used on Cadillacs in 1936....👍

[@DaveyMulholland]

What about John Thompson?

[@stalwart263]

@@DaveyMulholland He should have patented it himself!

[@gluemola]

These things cost around 85 euros (about 104$) in Finland.

[@toastedjoke]

It’s funny how people bash on “budget steels” I was watching Alone and it was that episode where the dude field dressed a moose with a leatherman sidekick or wingman. Budget steels are perfectly adequate for most daily tasks.

[@luckymeziere3675]

What episode is that

[@devatwell334]

People think supersteels are good until they break because they are so hard that they can't take abuse and vibrations. But on another note clay used a free p4 to field dress his deer

[@rosco1pug]

looks like a solidly made little package - too many compromises on the micro size multis. Maybe what I'm looking for

[@HumbleBeardsTavern]

That blade plenty tough I have t2 & t4. So unless you are rougher on your knife than me it will be plenty tough for an edc pocket multi tool.

[@montanapete59102]

I edc my Leatherman Wave, Ka-Bar TDI and Kershaw 1955 Showtime folder. For some reason, the T4 doesn't trip my trigger. Good information on it though!

[@kalijasin]

Henry Frank Phillips (June 4, 1889 - April 13, 1958) was an American businessman from Portland, Oregon.

[@thomasmaloney843]

I usually carry a Victorinox or Swiza knife in addition to a conventional EDC knife, such as a Buck knife.

[@jerryc5842]

I like it also. I have had one for many months now. I upgraded to this after carrying a SAK for decades. you can't open a SAK with one hand. At least not the one I own. And the SAK doesn't have a locking blade. I like the locking blade. The Free T4 could be better looking though. Very nice to use in everyday carry. Thanks for the Good review. Keep doing what you are doing. I appreciate it very much.

[@zelja.]

well, there are many models of SAKs with locking blades, but not in 91/93 mm size. And only one model with pocketclip.

[@TheRantinghick]

I havea T2 and love it, its essentially half the T4. A knife blade, driver bits and an awl. I dont mind I never use the scissors on multi tools

[@tamadrummer001]

I love my supertool 300 but I also carry my skeletool too. Tge skeletool has the pliers and screwdriver and knife and that’s about it. Fits in your pocket but when you want a real tool you can belt up the supertool and go to work either in the woods or at your desk.

[@JackShen]

Scratched my itch with a Fallkniven A1X. I know lots of peeps will say something about the screwed on Thermorun scales. Well if they get destroyed, I can hopefully make my own scales and replace them. Much harder with the molded regular A1.

[@deanwittle5183]

Henry Frank Phillips was an American businessman from Portland, Oregon. The Phillips-head screw and screwdriver are named after him. The importance of the crosshead screw design lies in its self-centering property, useful on automated production lines that use powered screwdrivers.Wikipedia

[@hudsey78]

Should of gone for the bushy, they dropped after the other knives had been released.

[@sixgunslingin]

Henry Frank Phillips Invented the Phillips screw/ screw driver since you asked....these are cool industrial swiss army knives for men

[@bluetrue6062]

I really used the scissors when I had my mustache. Now, not so much.

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

For the price I will stay with the Victoeinox knives of which I have several. I do still have my 20 year old Leatherman 200 that is belt carry which I attached asmall Bushnel single 3a flash lite I found in a mud hole in the desert.

[@telcomscott]

If only the Skeletool had the scizzors!! I have switched from a Leatherman wave belt carry to a Skeletool knife pocket carry BUT I miss my scizzors! Must have knife, plyers, screw drivers and scizzors but not belt carry.

[@joeyvazquez2394]

Chris, hope you and your family had a great Xmas! I really dig Leatherman products but have you found their stuff has been breaking lately? I personally have had 2 different tools break, Sidekick Philip screwdriver and Skeletool plier. I got them back repaired/replaced (eventually), but i feel like they would be good for light duty stuff. I wasn't abusing them and they were only 2 years old. Kinda feels like whats the point, i might as well keep a tool bag nearby instead. Your thoughts?

[@williamhal185]

You’re absolutely right, never thought I would like it but I ended up buying one and it’s great!!

[@johnguilbert1349]

His name was Phillip Skizzor

[@markmilanowski]

OMG, I use my scissors for cutting out coupons all the time! I went in to buy the K4 and came out with the T4. I am still going to get a K4 too.

[@MaximumNewbage]

No pliers? At that size/ thickness? Why not just get a juice S2?

[@devatwell334]

Because they are discontinued and a fortune

[@deykno87]

It’s not a Phillips but a reed and Prince

[@wflccb83]

I've always found the leatherman scissors to suck compared to the swiss tools.

[@ericberger4511]

Great to see you again Chris!

[@ElkArrow]

Can you do a review of the Gerber Ding Dong breaching tool?

[@dlrmon1]

Preparedmind 101 is very much responsible for getting me on this knife craze...5 or 6 years now of having to try all these knives. Been so busy collecting that I have just never got around to selling any. Think this next year I’m going to use your trick and start selling off some to afford more...even found myself going back and watching your old videos and purchasing variations of the same knife...lol...

[@jeffslaven]

Many of us are guilty of watching old Perparedmind 101 reruns, and i Love Lucy. Great entertainment!

I scratched my itch Chris when I had two craft beers and broke down and satisfied my craving by ordering the Kershaw Lucha on my phone :)

[@jonnyt16]

Its almost 2021 and Victorinox is STILL the only company with the technology to allow you to deploy one tool at a time without everything else coming out too.

[@floyd2386]

That's a very personal thing really. Some people actually prefer the whole clumping tools thing for some reason.

[@thomasmaloney843]

Swiza tools are easier to deploy. I have both Victorinox and Swiza knives.

[@rickfoley5596]

Looks cool enough but I just don't see it replacing my leatherman wave that I have carried every day for over 10 years. I just never found anything I like better than the wave.

[@babatundesoyeyejr.1120]

It's not a substitute. This is a knife-based multi tool. The Wave is a plier-based. They are not comparable.

[@bartjv1]

No tooth pick?

[@StevanOutdoor]

In fact that's disappointing for me. I EDC a SAK and the tooth pick is the most used tool on there.

Looks amazing I love leatherman products

[@jmc1771]

I met the inventor of the Phillips screw head in Portland Oregon in 1986. We was quite old and was a bit rude as I was a painter working In his friends house. Not worth his attention as a lowly tradesman.
