Leatherman Super Tool 300, Simple Is Best

[@toomdog]

I bought a ST 300 2 or 3 years ago, and it has done everything I've ever asked it to. I've been looking around for a new tool recently and all the reviews I've watched have told me I already have the tool I want haha.

[@luckymeziere3675]

You should try the leatherman surge

[@BassMaster.454]

​@@luckymeziere3675even though the surge can be more capable, I just don't like carrying a bunch of small parts that I could loose.

[@bradyblackburn4863]

I EDC a Charge, so I almost bought a Surge to keep in my car; but, you made a really valid point about not always needing one handed opening. Since I already have that in a smaller package, I went with the ST 300 for my vehicle and couldn't be happier. Thanks for the great review that really helped me make up my mind!

[@ricev7071]

I have the Super Tool 300 and I really do like it a lot. You are so right about what you said about simplicity, this tool is easy to clean and it feels good in the hand, I don't know why some people complain that it digs in their hand because it has sharp edges, but I don't feel anything because I have callouses on my hand from this thing called having a job, and when I'm done, it's just so easy wiping it clean with a rag. It has saved me so many times when I needed the right tool. The package says 19 tools but I can count 21, even 22 uses for this awesome tool. I have a bit extender from another multi-tool and it fits the Phillips on the 300, so now I can use ANY bit, even a ratchet with my Super Tool. The only thing is, I have to take my bits, 9 plus bit extender, Ferro rod with me, but they all fit in a tiny little velcro bag that housed a keychain multitool and has a belt loop, not a big deal I suppose, but I would rather have everything I need than just my ST300 only to realize I need a bigger or smaller bit or even a Robertson bit. Get this tool Y'all. It really comes in super handy and is cheaper than the Wave and the Surge and it's still considered a Heavy duty tool, not medium duty. Then get yourself a bit extender and you will be so happy you did. I see some people butcher their Leathermans only to swap certain tools when all you really need is a bit extender.

[@annetttt]

dude you have been my main multi tool channel, good thorough vids, also love seeing the tools in the hand, thank you

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thank you, I appreciate your viewership!!

[@blacksmith44]

I've learned that the scissors are the ideal thing for the urban environment. For the outdoors,you have everything you need!!

[@suprael]

mate, you forgot aboute the weight. If you add the Supertool 300 with the Micra, they will still be lighter than the Surge. And one hand opening is not really something that I want on such a heavytool that will be probably on my backpack. On hand opening is for quick stuff. I wouldn't buy a supertool 300 atm, but weith is a big aspect that keeps me away from the surge.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

that is a good point

[@timhaugen6410]

My Micra is in the outer pouch(inside of the flap) of the nylon sheath that holds my accessory tool set.

[@betweenfiveandseven]

My Super Tool 300 came with a leather sheath, but different than that one. Mine is all leather with a snap. No stretchy nylon on the sides. I was pretty impressed to see them return to a sheath so similar to the ones the early leathermans came in... the leather isn't quite as thick and the snap seems cheaper than the old ones, but I like it a lot better than the nylon and velcro one that my original supertool (1994?) came in. Though maybe I shouldn't complain about that one too much. It's still in tact and I've had it for 20 years.

[@TacticalOwl7]

My favorite Leatherman!

[@markwebb9063]

Swiss tools a nice, however turn a couple hard screws and see how the Philips gets distorted...soft steel 😒

[@guncotton1950]

i have an original leatherman i carried for 15-20 years daily- light simple and every tool counts -i have a sidekick too that is a gem t but i still go back to my original which still functions almost like the day i got it -the leatherman 300 is similar to the original so my bet is that its a great unit -i think my next leatherman purchase will be a crunch my bro has one and its one really great little tool to pair with the original-cheers from the thawing north

[@colsoncustoms8994]

I like that it doesn't have scissors. I find them to be a wast of space.

[@burgesskj]

I love my Supertool! ...but only because it's practical, useful, and always handy.

[@mikedifeo8344]

Good Vid. I also have my doubts on the strength of the lock for the blade on the Surge. Versus the lock up on the 300. I think the 30 has a stronger lock. And I prefer the saw on the 300 again because I think it has a stronger lock.

[@tgillies101]

Would love a set of big scissors like on the Surge. In fact this the dilema for myself choosing between the Supertool 300 and the Surge. I use the scissors on my pocket carry Victorinox Super Tinker and my Leatherman Wave when its in reach. Fact is having good scissors is good because its safer and more precise than a blade. But I get worried they would have to ditch one of the long tools to accomodate it.

[@moonrunner8791]

I had two surges. never used the scissors like I thought I would. st300 is the superior tool here.

[@jakefrickstad4077]

I have a super tool 300 and love it I have had it for 4 years

[@trackpants_vans_and_wheelies]

Still going strong?

[@billmochel]

Would be cool if Leatherman or another company would give you an option to customize them. Like set it up the exact way you want.

[@mackjones7688]

It would be cool. I doubt that Leatherman will ever do that. Probably for warranty reasons. I just wish they would make multiple versions of popular models with alternative tool sets and upgraded steels.

[@icervantesiii]

I can't change saw blades on the super tool. I love that interchangeability in the saw blades on the Surge. I keep a soda bottle preform with wood, steel and fiberglass saw blades and I modified a bit extender to fit the interchangeable screw driver bit. I can use full size bits of any size instead of the little 2D bits. Also, the pins in the super tool are not removable.. well they are, but it would require filing.

[@JustSimplyBrandon]

With my Leatherman Surge, I'm not restricted to just that one saw. I can use the variety of t-shank jigsaw blades made by Bosch, especially the longer blades. I don't mind the bit driver because, to me, multi-tools are for emergency or last minute adjustments when real tools are not near you. If I were to work on a project at home or at work, then I'll have a toolbox or tool chest filled with dedicated tools by my side. For EDC, the Leatherman Surge serves me well.

[@mackjones7688]

Good news friend. You no longer have to use those Bosch blades. I have been wanting Diablo Frued t-shank jigsaw blades. Finally found them at Home Depot. An upgrade at last!

[@kennywheelus6857]

Same here,I love the surge

[@big61al41]

I have the micra and I put it on a steel ruler and the inch and metric marking are poorly engineered. the measuring on the first half of either is off slightly and using both sides to measure something is not possible as both are widely off...this function would have been better left off the final design...

[@ericsligar6582]

I recently found my ST 200 but lost the tool adapter for it. I found my bit driver for my ST 300 and found it fits perfect on the med. flat head driver on ST 200. It fits sideways on driver. I am sure you could easily over torque it though.

[@recycled3654]

An important thing with the Supertool 300 is the safety factor inherent with this multitool design. With either blade deployed, locked and handles closed, there is no chance of the blade collapsing on your hand. The 300 is a simpler and safer tool for general use.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Good point, yet another benefit!

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

I am watching various reviews of the large Super Tool - Pat Pending model. Have owned for years without mishaps however the un serrated blade stalled in two . No abuse or undue force was used. Anyone else encountered this problem? Possibly an inherent metal fatigue? Like the design of the Surge. Please explain what you mean ‘ a liner lock ‘ What is that ?

[@justsayin7937]

I like the ST 300 overall but the only thing I really dont like is that I have pinched the hell out of myself with it a few times. I dont know if it has something to do with the fact that I have a skeletool that I'm already used to or what. I hope it's as simple as just getting used to this one.

[@kennywheelus6857]

I was gonna this one an then I saw the surge,I carry it every day, I'd like to get the charge tti,wished the had same blade steel for surge an st300 s30v

[@ricev7071]

Well said Brother, even with the Surge it's heavier than the Super Tool. This tool is just perfect, weight wise and tool wise. If they give these to the military then what does that say about the reliability of the ST300??? It's a great tool, I was finally able to buy one today earlier and I am so happy I did. The Rebar is a smaller version of the ST300 but this tool is made tough and do tougher jobs. I have the Wave and the Surge is a bigger version of the Wave and there's a lot of little nooks and crannies where dust, dirt, and grease can get stuck in and it's a pain to clean, the ST300 is simple to clean and maintain. I am so glad I bought it, I am very happy with it.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Yeah the Supertool is one of my favorites, it is one of those multitools that is a lot better in real life than people might think just looking at it on paper!

[@joshteague8904]

If i had to take one down range, to war, it would be the Supertool 300!

[@waholoopesorry74]

I would probably do the same

[@Azzo99]

Surge or ST300!?!?! My dad has the original super tool and has taken it to hell and back. It is incredibly strong. I like the simplicity but the surge blades seem so appealing as well

[@mattdrives4757]

I have been eyeing the Leatherman Rebar...I don't mind the loss of scissors, I just find the awl more useful because it has a range of applications..

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Rebar is very good, I think it is the most efficient design among the core Leathermans, it gives the most capability for the price.

[@appleztooranges]

Picking up the Leatherman 300M. Just ordered one on Leathermans website in cyote tan color. Glock is simple and reliable just like the 300 series. Thanks

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

[@heetsees]

Just bought one. Chinada, year 2022, Reign of Emporer Castrudeau, the impotent and cowardly. 134$ Chinadian! Truedoflation is a bitch. But I've loved it so far. I was gonna buy a knife. Then I'm like this is a knife and 17 other tools. Very sturdy and functional and in 4 days I've used it 5 times. I'm an essential materials Transportation Operator and for any other person looking for a valuable survival tool at your hip, this works for me.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Excellent! I am glad to hear you are getting a lot of use out of this fine multitool.

[@houseremote6842]

I have a surge, but for some reason St300 has something special and now is my edc

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

Interesting… I’m the opposite, my super tool fell in half after a year of not even everyday use. It was absolute garbage in my opinion… went out to buy a wave + and ended up walking away with a surge, and I’m glad I did. What a beast!

[@filipustoletus3625]

I need cisor many time per day and don't have, as you think and say, any separate cisor

[@I_Might_B_Wrong]

I have a surge with the extended bit piece, the full bit kit, and the XL Molle sheath. I went all out on making it a full package. Unfortunately, the tool is extremely uncomfortable to actually use. It's covered in hot spots. I have a Rebar and I love how comfortable it is to use so I've decided to give the Surge to a friend of mine as a gift, bits and all, and get a Supertool 300 instead. Less fluff, more utilitarian, longer shanks, more comfortable to actually use.

[@eipi5173]

+IMightBeWrong my thoughts exactly....especially about the rebar

[@sexualpredator1000]

+IMightBeWrong Ive got a Wave and a rebar, i though about buying a surge but now i want a black oxide super tool. What do you think?

[@I_Might_B_Wrong]

sexualpredator1000 I'd back you up on the Supertool. If you are really going to be using a heavy duty MT, you'll be glad you went with one that has fixed and sturdy tools and is more comfortable in hand so that you don't tear your hands apart.

[@LeathermanSurge-q6l]

One of my My favourite multi tools the leatherman super tool 300 yeah buddy

[@0neTwo3]

Left handed.... Aren't the liner locks and pivots identical for all the outside opening tools? What I'm getting at is couldn't you just relocate the blades to positions suitable for left handed opening access??

[@Odood19]

I'm in love with the OHT

[@ce4130]

Nah, not for me, I couldn't handle not being able to access the knife blade from the outside one handed like on my Surge. I suppose I don't carry a dedicated pocket folder though. If the Supertool was just a backup blade I guess that would be fine. The lock for the knife on the Supertool looks like it might possibly be mechanically more robust. (You covered this feature just as I typed that). Also, looks like the Supertool bolts allow for self servicing with common tools if they start loosening.

[@Chumgeyser]

Another great review. Any chance you'll do a Crunch review?

[@JulianZeezer]

Leatherman's biggest advantage over current big-name competitors is the replaceable bit driver. It would be nice if they could offer it on any of their large models. (And they need to give you a free bit driver extension along with the tool, so you can use generic bits instead of their specialized half-width bits.)

[@Pinki2019]

Victorinox offers bits as an add-on feature for their multi-tools, but the system for using them is not as good. Well, at least judging from photos -- I don't own one. :)

[@kosmonument2682]

Surge is overcomplicated and overdesigned. The ST300 is a design from a time where a tool was made for a job not to be feature-packed so as to sell more units. Save your cash and get the one that made the name what it is.

[@renemanjr123]

That things is a beast Great review

[@Lars1540]

Yeah, the outside accessible tools absolutely suck! They make the grip so sharp and uncomfortable in the hand. I have a leatherman Wave and I can't stand using the blades because the grip is so damn sharp and uncomfortable. Knowing what I do now, I would have chosen the super tool over the wave any day! Go for comfort, not gimmicks... The outside accessible blades just create sharp 90 degree corners that just makes the knives unbearable to use.

[@southerncomfort7490]

I completely agree with this comment. The Supertool series are the simplest and easiest to use. True, you do not have one hand opening. This is what you might call a 'First World Problem.' For centuries our ancestors had the wit to open a pen knife with two hands. I am sure that we can do the same today. I can only really understand one-handed opening in one circumstance, namely, that you only had one hand. Oh, and that would need to the right one (anyway). Yes, Dan is so right in terms of the comfort. I cannot be doing with the Wave, Surge or Charge for the same reason. You would never use a knife with such a grip, so why use one on a multitool? This is also an advantage of the Swisstool.

[@robertb.3651]

ST300 all day ! I never needed scissors in my life when I got a knife on me....

[@NGMonocrom]

I'm sorry, but for a good one-tool option as far as a multi-tool goes, I'd happily get rid of the serrated knife in exchange for a good pair of scissors. You already have a good blade and a saw on this tool. On tools that incorporate both, a serrated edge makes little sense. Also, I can't help but feel they could have gotten rid of the med. screwdriver and replaced it with a micro one. You'd still have the smaller and larger screwdrivers good for most tasks. With those two changes, this would be the ultimate multi-tool.
