[@CrowManyClouds]

​ @maxlvledc question about the last bit driver adapter. Is it the right size to put on a 1/4 square (socket) adapter? (I've heard so much about how bad the bits are (bad heat treat) but the form factor is so compelling. Being able to store more Leatherman bits in the same physical space as regular 1/4 hex bits makes me want to try them but I'd like to use a Chapman with a 1/4 square bit as the driver.)

[@JamesLikesVideos]

Carry that every day!

[@foxwood67]

I can’t agree the flat bits are soft and deform plus by design they have less cross sectional area and just don’t grip well. Your mileage may vary.

But it's not because Leatherman is just fine with money, weird...

[@longbow6416]

I go with SOG, that compound leverage is awesome! I've have issues with Leatherman saying damage was from abuse and since the tool is riveted together, it's a unit, we won't repair it for free. SOG has had no problem sending me new plier heads or accessories and I just fix it myself. It's a plus to customize it with tools that I use more regularly.

[@maxlvledc]

They don't do that any more btw, now that they are owned by GSM

[@conductorcammon]

I sent a leatherman back. Told them I broke the file trying to pry a brake pad off a railcar ..sent me a new rebar.

[@targetaps]

​@@conductorcammon Lol!

[@freman007]

I've noticed that they've replaced the riveted Squirt PS4 with a screwed together version. Much cheaper to replace one tool than the entire multi-tool.

[@randysmith9636]

I do agree. I am a faithful Leatherman user. I bought the very first model when it became available. I presently own 5 different models and you have to take it upon yourself to figure out which accessories you might want or need. They could definitely do better in their presenting what they offer. Thanks for the video brother.

[@chimchu3232]

And then they make custom badass multi tools that everybody wants, but they only make 100 of them and people jack the price up in the aftermarket

[@ghost-wolf0742]

It's sad that they discontinued the leatherman rachet driver. I'm so happy I got one before they ran out.

[@MSkachenite]

Really, truly- they discontinued the rathet driver?!?

I love my Leatherman wave and yes the ratchet extension is a god send as well as well as the bit kit set they have paid for themselves time and time again

[@johnbrignall558]

I got a wingman Leatherman with the bit accessory and an extension for a gift how are you supposed to put bits to use do they go in a special tool or leatherman

[@WarGrrl3]

Um, I'm not sure Leatherman hates money. A single extender (no bits inc) for the Wave (for ex) is $20, that's really expensive. In reality, the accessories wind up being very expensive. I do however LOVE my Wave AND I have a 30year+old Leatherman thats has been well used and looks and works like new. It actually has 'patent pending' stamped on it. Even the original leather case has lasted well.

[@paulgran7815]

He didn't say you're not paying for quality or something, because that's what you do. Quality products cost a bit more. What he's saying is that they could make even more money if they just "exposed" their line of products more.

i found a leatherman on the side of a road and after using it a couple of times, I can see why!

[@project7442]

Mann, you're lucky for finding it 😭

[@beltfed4624]

Unusual. From years of owning multiple models, I can say for sure that most are high quality pieces, but I did purchase a brand new Wave that had QC issues, got a full refund and have never had that problem again. To be honest in this, the best Leatherman's are above $100, below that it can be sketchy. For example, my Super Tool 300 is flawless, but the more budget oriented models such as the Sidekick isn't one that I'd recommend.

I've loved Leatherman since everyone in basic & AIT either had one or wanted one. This was back in mid 90s and even though not every product appeals to me, I've been nothing but satisfied and never had anything break on me. When I need it, it's there.

[@KP-ol3tc]

I wanna see you make a lock-pickers Leatherman using parts off Covert Ins. or something because they have holes on the tools perfect for adding to your EDC.

[@justhays]

A multi tool is a self contained tool to cary for quick use when needed. You might as well carry a tool box if you’re into accessories.

Leatherman does like money 💰. They knew someone would make one of these videos b4 long. Leatherman actually saved tens of thousands of dollars in advertising when u posted this video lol

[@xXvenomslasherXx]

Leatherman also hates freedom... At one point in time they were supplying tools to the atf with the words "always think forfeiture" marked on them. It was said in the event an agent isn't sure what to do, forfeiture of the item in question is always an option. I'm not saying these great Leatherman tools are not of quality, I'm just recommending we buy things from people who value freedom.

[@maxlvledc]

In the multitool world they are still better than the others.

[@bplus2625]

He's right. I use that Leatherman adapter with my Victorinox Mini Champ. The square side of the adapter fits very nicely on the philips driver/bottle opener.

I am someone who works Maint. for a living. No one is going to carry a multitiool and then also carry whole sets off accessories to still be left with tools that halfway do the job they are supposed to. This video only applies to people who then hope when they pull out their tools a random person says "hey cool" thus validating their pointless extra purchases.

[@MSkachenite]

Yes, its true- Leatherman hates money!

[@mcbrite]

Wow... I had my first Leatherman like 30 years ago and I didn't know of the existence of ANY of these... Plot twist: We sell Leatherman in our shop! (I don't personally, but we stock them)

[@MyUnquenchableThirst]

Don't forget the tweezers. Leatherman tweezers are awesome!

[@mcarbunaru]

It can be a simple explanation for that. The accesories are not fabricated directlly by them. If they need to sell more of them they need MORE MONEY blocked on a order to they suplier for that accesories. For the part 2: When they put discounts on their accesories, is probabilly need some money fast to pay something so they sell their existing stocks or their production slow down and the batches from the suppliers are becoming acumulating stocs and there fore blocked money flows. Also thei may do this for atracting people on their site and increasing the sales on their tools. But in my experience is that thing with batches comming from supliers as scheduled but to fast for their own production.

[@stujo718]

Great company and a warranty program that can’t be beat. I will take exception with the nylon sheath that has the inner pocket for the bit holders and two outer pockets for bit extensions. I Now I have had to sew up the bottoms to keep the extensions from slipping out. And how about making an extension that works with drill motors. I have used and owned those accessories for nearly as long as I have been a Leatherman Tool owner fast approaching 40 years

[@omitbadgers5664]

I wish they made the bit sets configurable with a wider variety available. I only need metric Bits and could use a few more of them instead of imperial ones.

[@S85B50Engine]

They should have made the Free P2 and P4 compatible with the Rebar bit adapter

[@user-gm4lc2ym8p]

Love the wave o have had a few and the wave is the nicest, although I like the new one they have

[@d.Cog420]

Good point. Why don't they do an accessories vid? Is it because the accessories aren't guaranteed like the tools themselves? Maybe they don't have to as lots of KZbinrs see this as a miss and are keen to show their accessories thereby doing the job for them, and with genuine enthusiasm.
