Introducing The Leatherman Super Free P4

[@ramilondon313]

im pretty sure all these mods are ZapWizard's designs, not just the holster

[@adamthomas1222]

ikr, the way he's talking as if he's the one designing and manufacturing the mods. "struggling for 2 months" what a joke

[@wingleader]

He should give credit where credit is due

[@Pouncer_Fox]

Finally a multitool that I would love to own, even though it is a custom work. Great job.

[@NewZonaRides]

Thanks

[@westonknight7474]

Very nice (very professional) job you did there sir. This was a very comprehensive review...thank you for a first class presentation. 👏

[@itroom1615]

This mods are awesome! You've done a great job! It was so interesting to watch about it.

[@NewZonaRides]

Thank you

[@earlofrednecks9533]

I feel the same way about the Free P4. Kinda like, "oh way awesome but not meh" Nice mods.

[@zackwoodhurst8241]

ZapWizard is the one who made these mods

[@wolfw6695]

Well Done !!! Those are all the reasons I did not by this tool.... You did an awesome job. Leatherman needs to hire you as a consultant. They obviously got it VERY wrong...

[@NewZonaRides]

Thanks. I will send them my resume.

[@brianmcgraw6903]

That looks awesome! You need to make these for people. I want one.

[@NewZonaRides]

That's a interesting idea.

[@himeromero8500]

Put an order in for me to! That's definitely an P4 I would want and EDC! Outstanding work Tom on the mod's to your Leatherman and not giving up and it paid off...you got the multitool everyone is going to want now! Would love to know more about that case, it's perfect!!

[@midwaymonster78]

What did you use to make the t shank iv seen serveral people make diffrent bit exchangers but havent seen anyone add that on yet. Just an amazing idea man. Im going to go pick one up just based on this video shows the real potential to mod this thing

[@NewZonaRides]

@@midwaymonster78 The T-Shank and the bit exchanger are both 3D printed from Stainless. I will post later where to get them after I make sure they are durable. I use these everyday so I should know soon if we can trust this.

[@midwaymonster78]

@@NewZonaRides thank you hope they all work out for you.

[@christopherjohnson9565]

I like my the way it is . But thats great made work for you

[@austinftwXD]

I did a similar mod to my p2, but I kept the awl, I find it to be the perfect tool for etching ceiling tiles without tearing up my knife blades.

[@procomp0]

Do you have a photo or manual?

[@austinftwXD]

@@procomp0 I can get you a photo later

[@nicksavage2401]

I use every tool on mine. I love mine

[@ZappninLLP]

Great job! DIY custom modding is where it's at!

[@emorty1703]

Wouldn’t it be great if leather man had a customised option where you can pick and choose what you need and don’t need?

[@MyUnquenchableThirst]

wow. i can hardly believe how much better you really made this tool. What you have is absolutely amazing. I really believe you when you say that is as close to perfect as you can get. and everyone needs different thing but i think this proves that anyone can customize it to what they need

[@NewZonaRides]

It has been rocking. This tool has been a masterpiece for me. I took a turd and polished it into a diamond. LOL Thanks for watching.

[@albertosbrolla8424]

Looks great, nice job with the build!👍

[@NewZonaRides]

Thanks! 👍

[@krismoriarty3904]

Id buy one! That is as close to perfect as your gonna get

[@huntma3787]

Appreciate the vid, but did you purposely leave out that almost all your "mods" are the work of Zapwizard at Shapeways? You narrate the video as if you created them.....

[@NewZonaRides]

Yes I did purposely leave that out. I had not tested them thoroughly enough to tell people where they came from. I was very skeptical as to their durability at the time of this video. I made a follow video once I had tested them and then told people where to get them. Did you miss the follow up video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn-mla2vl9B6rM0

[@bobdmighty]

yeah, sketchy for sure.

[@marcramirez1986]

So are you still happy with your Leatherman p4!? And also didn't you know that it was going to come with the tools that It came with? I mean the sit show's you how it comes! But anyway great job I wish I could make me one of those

[@patrickbledsoe2176]

Sir, that leatherman is hands down the best looking multi-tool ever but the tools just don't appeal to me

[@geektarded]

If using this as a survival tool, you most certainly want a can opener. But, if you just plan to use this as your daily tool, then I agree, we don’t need can openers on our multitools in our every day life. You must not be an import beer drinker either because you left out the bottle opener...hopefully on your key chain ;)

[@teapeabartle4046]

I’ve been waiting for you to make this video. Been holding off buying the p4 to see the shape ways bit exchanger so now I think I might get one. Great content keep up the good work! What color did you order your bit extender?

[@NewZonaRides]

Thank you. I ordered the polished bronzed- silver steel.

[@juicie54]

Love what you did with the p4. What size magnets do you store on your flat bit holder ?

[@kellypainter7625]

Wow, that is cool. I feel the same way about my P4. I went back to my charge. Ever thought about selling a conversion kit.? I would buy one. I also hate that the serenaded blade isn't symmetric when you roll it over like on all the other tools. Nice belt holder too! Looks 3D printed. Is the file for that available anywhere? If not, I may roll my own.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Multi tools need can openers if you take them camping.

[@alexh.h9259]

Super bro👍

[@ucitymetalhead]

That's really awesome man.

[@NewZonaRides]

Thanks!

[@benningsniper9516]

No matter what you do to this tool, it's always going to be a fancy man toy. Nothing more. MTs like the wave and surge are real tools.

[@dagger_4d]

What size are those magnets you carry?

[@tfwoodcraft]

wow great work!

[@NewZonaRides]

Thanks for the visit

[@nightshift2780]

I think the whole point of the Free model was to be free to open it and navigate through the different tools with one hand. Having the modifications makes me think it's better to stick with a wave plus or a surge.. maybe even modify the surge just a tiny bit. Modifying the Free seems a bit of a stretch but cool vid.

[@NewZonaRides]

You can still open all the tools with one hand with the mods. The Wave and Charge are great if they didn't always pinch my hand. This tool is still the one I use the most.

[@smokinjoe2539]

Yeah. I'll send you my P4 to do these mods! Just tell me the cost.

[@NewZonaRides]

I like messing with stuff. I wouldn't mind doing a few of these. You would have to understand that this is not inexpensive and the time to do it is not quick. What I am saying is the parts can take a month to get from the 3d printer. I can do the assembly much faster now that I have all the measurements. It should be easily repeatable as far as that goes. If after hearing all this and want to do this you can email me from my about page and we can make a plan. As I stated in my video it took me about 2 months to complete this from when I started. I would estimate it would take half that time now that all the leg work has been done.

[@adamthomas1222]

@@NewZonaRides @NewZona Rides seriously stop talking like you're the one that designed and manufactured the mods, ZapWizard is the one that painstakingly made these, all you did was to get the parts you like and put them together

[@argirisd6008]

Where did you get the T shank and bit folder I have both the P2 and P4 and want to do these upgrades

[@jamesmcnary4939]

I like your mods! I don’t like the Free. It’s $140. You shouldn’t have to spend more money to put new parts into it and void your warranty to make it useful.

[@NewZonaRides]

When this was all done it was more like 240.00. Hobbies can be expensive for sure.

[@Taran-d.B.23]

You want an Perfect Leatherman? Take a Free P4 and a Weave, put the Weave Tools into the P4 and done 😂

That looks awesome,u give the new life for P4,could you tell me where can I buy this orange case?thanks a lot!

[@gleblipin]

When and where I can buy your version Free P4 tool? Dam' I need it!

[@macgyverbryan1377]

File the serrated blade tip, then it is a tanto serrated blade.

[@NewZonaRides]

I am not sure what you mean. The serrated blade tip is already in a very useful utility style point.

[@marcinsykut497]

I agree 100 % . Junk tools inside and fantastic mod - exactly what I was thinking . Is any part from Wave or Surge will fit Free ? Thanks for good video !

[@NewZonaRides]

No, The wave has different sized holes and different locks.

[@BFSarthur]

I just bought mine and I want to buy your upgrades but also I'm nervous about not being able to send it in.

[@NewZonaRides]

Well for sure if you mod it your warranty is done. That being said I don't think the tool is very useful without the mods.

[@BFSarthur]

@@NewZonaRides honestly, I use mine most for fishing and camping. The knife, scissors and pliers get the most use, the screw driver gets the least use. Im going to buy another p4, and buy your mods for that one because I'll keep it in my nail bag for construction purposes and keep the original one for camping. That way I can still have it both ways.

[@matusknives]

If I may ask - did you pick the P4 over day Surge for some particular reason? Were you buying it already planning to customize it?

[@NewZonaRides]

I have a Surge. Use it often but I use the P4 because of the one hand opening.

[@matusknives]

@@NewZonaRides I see, thank you.

[@survivalistcookbook9625]

Would that bit holder be compatible with a surge if I rip out the can opener?

[@NewZonaRides]

I saw a guy on KZbin do just that. I can't remember his channel name though. He had to do some filing but he got that to work.

[@novemeberalphabravo]

what is that pocket thing?

[@Kingoftheslams2020]

Would the bit exchanger work on the opposite side? (swap can opener, awl, ruler & file)?

[@NewZonaRides]

Yes.

[@rottiejakeluke]

Which eatherman would you recommend as the best one to get without needing modification? Thanks

[@NewZonaRides]

It really depends on your needs. The best one for sure is the Surge. Next the Charge or Wave. After that I like the Super Tool.

[@xlilnetx]

Could u make s workable marlin spike ?

[@mikkowus]

Where did you get the t shank?

[@young_of_the_mill9560]

You still use this?

[@theomnipresent1]

I wouldn't like finding and getting bits out of that sheath while I'm wearing it.

[@NewZonaRides]

I wear it as a pretty good dangler sheath and it’s not bad to get the bits out but if you wore it up on your belt ya it would probably get old quick.

[@Fxx319]

Metro grade bit exchanger?

[@midgeman0901]

where do you get the bit exchanger? did you have to file that down at all to make it fit?

[@NewZonaRides]

I stated the answer to this question in the video. I am not willing to provide where I to get the parts until I verify they will hold up.

[@objvst]

For me to achieve perfection it needs an X-acto No. 226 Blade holder . Also why does anyone need a scissor when you have knife blades?

[@NewZonaRides]

For me, to cut labels when I label servers. Very important item for me. A knife cuts well enough if I had a cutting board or something to use but scissors do it better off the cuff in a pinch with the no need for a cutting surface. Hope that made sense at all.

[@NewZonaRides]

Oh I forgot there is an exacto knife attachment now.

[@NewZonaRides]

Found it. Check it out: www.shapeways.com/product/LZ8DS36EC/scalpel-holder-for-leatherman-free-p4-p2?optionId=166589680&li=shops

[@objvst]

Look up what the x-acto number 226 blade is blade to understand how useful it is. Not doing surgery ever.

[@goatsonapost]

Will the bit exchanger work with the OHT?

No

[@googleuser6635]

Well. This video was such a dissappointment. The P4 is not perfect, but you sure ruined it. I own hundreds of multi-tools, including every tool you mentioned. There is no perfect multi-tool. Far from making anything better, you ruined the best aspects, and kept the worst aspects. Were you completely ignorant of what the P4 was, when you bought it? It seems you picked the multi-tool that was furthest from what you wanted, then blamed the tool and the manufacturer. I'm glad you're happy with what you did, but your mods surely did ruin the P4's intent.
