If you think of the price spread out over 5 or 6 years, the LM multitools are a fair value. Granted, not all of their products are of the same quality. But if you get options from the higher end of their range the value actually increases.

The first good thing leatherman has done in over a decade is the Bond, I can't even remember the last time I was interested in something leatherman did. I've had mine a few months using it a lot at work and have not been cut by the blade, but while I'm not worried myself I understand the concern. A good simple slim and relatively compact tool that has the things I care about most and nothing I don't need. It has the proper real leatherman impliments I love of my trusty 2006 leatherman Fuse minus the unnecessary smaller driver and including the awl and file.

[@michaelkulman7095]

So that's a knife-less fuse then? That came with a file? I've been tempted to take out my knife and scissors and put in a file and a saw and carry a scissors on my keychain and a stand alone knife in my pocket or carry a SAK Compact for a knife and a scissors. If only I could find the pocket clip I think they used to sell for the Kick which might fit the Fuse...

I have considered SAK Compact to get good big scissors in a slim knife and putting a file and a saw in my Fuse in place of knife and scissors. and maybe an awl or grind down smaller screwdriver to an awl or use slim 3d Phillips instead of square shaft Phillips to squeeze an awl in or... however I like the idea of the bit kit that uses the square shaft truss style Phillips to mount bit holder but I wouldn't EDC that without special reasons...it's cool but will I carry it? I could leave it in glove box? I will say that square shaft Phillips doesn't fit into recessed screws in blow molded cases and that's come up for me more than once, more than needing tons of specialty bits like Torx or Robertson...or whatever else they foist upon us next... Being slim and having locking tools makes me want to mod the Fuse, I like the Fuse...If I was in the UK I'd mod the Kick though...or use it as is...I had one, it was pretty good for a slim all screwdrivers, pliers and knife multitool... I mean it seemed better than the Bond to me based on videos... I will say in the UK knifeless tools look pretty attractive be it the discontinued knifeless Fuse or the knifeless Rebar...

Also there was a Leatherman Kick that had no locking blades including the knife and some (few) had pocket clips (sold separately). It just had screwdrivers, a knife and of course and plier head but it was light.

Pete, I can't agree with you more with your Leatherman Custom Shop idea. I'd be prepared to pay more for a Leatherman if I could design one with the tools I actually need.

[@jb7707]

The problem with a custom shop is I think even at $50 extra they wouldn't make money because they turn these out at a rate of x number of tools per minute and it would take significantly longer for a worker to pick out all the separate tools and assemble it in the correct orientation. I think they'd probably have to charge double to make the added assembly and quality control time profitable

[@garethbaus5471]

@@jb7707 a moderately skilled worker in a well designed work station with standardized compatable parts and a few spacer's to fill any gaps in bad designs could reliably assemble a tool in less than half an hour so assuming they are making about $30 an hour and doing this full time referencing a computer monitor for every new tool configuration Leatherman still has $500 per day to buy the equipment and make a profit off of the production of this one person. So as long as Leatherman releases this option with a slightly undersized work force they could probably turn a profit.

Pete, those can opener blades are great as package openers. They are sharp and strong enough to puncture and split packing tape. I use the can opener all the time to open taped seams. That way I can save my sharpened blades for actual slicing.

[@loganholmberg2295]

You're totally right. They are already doing colors but I'd rather they did a signal and wave platform tool you could customize. On the Signal I would replace the awl with scissors and/or the stupid combi blade with just a regular blade. I'd also consider replacing the saw with a serrated blade since I do not use multitool saws a lot. Plus I think they could come up with some other ideas for the sharpener/file? and the Ferro rod/whistle pieces like a screwdriver extender for the but drive or extra bits that would fit in those slots. On the wave, Id put a pocket clip on it and ditch the medium screwdriver for an awl/scraper. And to those, why I have a Signal and a wave. The signal is lighter and the carabiner clip makes it easier to carry cause I can attach it to almost anything. The wave needs a sheath or pocket if you buy a pocket clip for it plus its one ounce heavier and that makes it not great for some of the pants and shorts I wear.

Maybe they properly messed up when they gave us fantastic tools like the Wave/Surge/Rebar/ST300...and now feel like they have nowhere else to go (I guess the things they're loyal fanbase has been asking for doesn't enter the equation with them), hence I dont care for either of these "new" tools, especially for the price on the Curl. Didn't care for the Free Series either, but I wouldn't mind any of them if they were also giving us at least some small, easy to do things, that we've been asking for..for years, like steel choices, likes color options on their most popular 2 MT's, etc. But they're not, they're just seemingly ignoring us, removing a few tools of popular existing MTs, coming close to to charging a premium, and sneaking them on to the showroom floor at midnight...hell...we had to announce them ourselves, there was no big marketing for them...lol...if that tells you anything...calling them "new"....and basically saying "there you go, we gave you something you *didnt* asking for, now get bent". They just don't seem to care what we think anymore, and I do think that it's partly our fault for finding ways to fall all over ourselves for everything they pump out, talking ourselves into it being the best thing ever, even though we would be lighting it on fire if it was a Gerber (who I actually think is making efforts to cater to the market right now). They'll probably never do a custom shop for fear of it undercutting their existing lines...if you can actually get what you want, where does that leave their other stuff? That's their fear, probably. Maybe justified, I don't know, I of course would love it though. But like I said, they could pump out turds all day long for all I care..as long as they were giving us something we want..but instead they spend all that money for infrastructure on magnets and other things we never asked for, its frustrating.

I wish Leatherman was more vocal about this, but there is a really good reason why they don't offer a modular system. Only certain tools will fit in certain places to allow the plier heads to fold properly. If they did offer a truly modular system, either the tools would be hilariously small or the overall size would be humongous. Some of the Leatherman engineers have talked about this on AMAs. The problem isn't that they aren't aware that people want this, it's that customers don't realize the implications of such a design.

[@CedricAda]

you could definitely at least choose whether you had serrated/file/knife/saw as all those are interchangeable as they already show on the various swap sets across the bond/rebar/knifeless rebar range and the curl/wave/charge series.

The potential to cut yourself with that knife has been a problem since the PST. I sold my PST for that single reason. A detent on that knife would be nice. 100% agree on the custom shop. If key bar figured it out, Leatherman and SAK can certainly do it. I think they're worried it'll cut into their own produced models.

I have one well used Fuse that is a little loose but not like the new Bond...and none of them have that cut out which seems like a good thing. If I'm wearing gloves I hold the pliers head as a handle and smack the end of tool on the heel of other hand hard and then I pick the tool I want and push back in the others. I for one like tool clumping for this reason as opposed to being totally dependent on nail nicks and blades being springed down... This system can work but didn't the way they did it on Bond.

But I'm not putting up with that "no locking blades" BS in 2023. To me, my Blast is perfect as far as a general use, more or less entry level priced tool. I kind of look at it like the Bond only with locking blades. It's probably why it makes the Bond a little more frustrating, as a missed opportunity.

@@AJHart-eg1ys Was blade flop out bad with the PSTs like the Bond and did tightening it up mitigate that? I'm curious about that. Locking tools, yeah I think the lack thereof on Bond is entry market driven as to price and foreign market driven, due to knife laws and less complexity and weight driven. So yeah, no locking tools isn't so tolerable today. A knifeless tool with all locking blades already exists, a version of the Rebar and there used to be a knifeless Fuse with a file in place of the knife and that seems like it could satisfy the foreign markets with various knife laws and they can just carry a separate pocket knife to fit their countries laws. That's what I'd do if subject to such dubious things... I'm not sure they should have retired the Kick (UK and German friendly), the Fuse (German friendly) and the Blast (German friendly) just on the basis of foreign markets and some good less expensive tools.

[@TheMasonator777]

That blade needs a walk and talk detent. I don’t think you are being overcautious at all. That could (will) cut somebody badly, possibly do permanent damage to a hand, if they are working hard and mess up even a little bit.

Meh.. Rebar is the perfect tool for me. BUT if I could build a titanium/154CM custom Rebar..

[@gregtomamichel973]

I asked for a Surge. Am I rating myself too highly as a Dad?

[@reneklein3658]

It’s absolutely incomprehensible no company, especially Leatherman, didn’t pull a custom tool off yet !!

[@garethbaus5471]

Buck has a custom shop, where you can pick the handle shape, handle material, blade shape, blade material, bolster material, and the blade finish all from a decent selection of different options for a fairly reasonable price.

[@ethanboucher5914]

You're a madman

[@eduardsiger1860]

Why not just get the rebar?

[@AJHart-eg1ys]

Without the locks, this just seems like the original PST that I had in the Army, but for twice the cost, no leather carrier and a slightly better blade. Hard pass if you can't lock the blade. :( We "loved" the PST because it was what was available and had the warranty. But that blade folded down on us constantly. I know they have a different style for the Bond, but it's still not a lock.

Lol why would someone dislike this video? Legitimately, what is there to dislike? It’s a fun review man. Chill out haha

[@CedricAda]

the angry always persists, probably someone who likes the replaceable cutters

[@knoxknifemods]

@@CedricAda Lol fair point. I guess no matter what, someone somewhere is gonna have a bone to pick

[@michaelkulman7095]

They could justify the tool and the price better if they just included the clip loose for no additional cost. Then people could decide themselves. I think greater volume sold would cover the cost of an uninstalled pocket clip. My main interest in this model is pocket clip carry so it being not included is kind of strange and unendearing to me...

[@kevinAuman1]

Heck I'd still rather go with my original Leatherman supertool 300 and if it ever did break which it hasn't in over 20yrs then id just look for another one on the used market on eBay for $30 or so

[@gladeshunter8796]

I just want a multitool with Knipex cobras for the pliers .

[@michaelkulman7095]

Duct tape...

[@redpillnibbler4423]

Choosing your own tools would be brilliant,same with VICTORINOX knives.

[@TheMasonator777]

You have to pay extra for a pocket clip. A pocket clip.

Milk before cereal hahahahahahaha
