Apparently which is stupid in my opinion! I have the Surge and it has to be the best because if it wasn't for the Surge, I wouldn't even bother. Nothing is replaceable on the P4, it's a budget tool which Leatherman is ripping off the gullible that don't know any better!!

Great videos and thanks for providing a realistic review, even though you’re a knife and flashlight enthusiast you don’t bust your nut regarding new/highly marketed gear like the salesmen at blade hq. many thanks and keep on Truckin.

I have a heavybeastSurge, Wave, 300 and now a P4... almost comically the one tool thats missing from the P4 everyone is crabbing about is the bit driver that I dont think I've ever used once on the Surge or Wave across however many years. In short.. the P4 is a fanfreakintastic bush/camp/trekking tool. I highly recommend thinking through the multiple flat tips and modifying them to your liking. I made one into a legit chisel w/ zero micro bevel, another into a very small (eyeglasses) flat-tip and worked over the awl a bit. Honestly, I'd like to keep the rounded/toothy pliars part, but move it back and toss out the hard wire cutters entirely, and replace the needlenose with flushcut side cutters. Needle nose pliars aren't really needed in the bush, but squeezing/twisting and picking up hot stuff is.. so I guess the damn pliars get to ride despite adding 5oz to my already fatass and load.

Every multitool will fit someone's needs. And this fits mine. I bought it even after watching this video. I work in the Nuclear power industry and we have walls with many valve handles on them that all look the same. So once we identify the correct valve by floc numbers. We don't take our eyes or hands off of it. Because if you use 2 hand and look at your tool you could operate a different valve when you look back up. And believe me no one wants that in this industry. Many valves are locked into position with zip ties and wire locks that I need wire cutters and the knife for. I can identify the correct valve with the procedure in my left hand touching the correct valve while I open my P4 with my right hand without my eyes leaving the correct valve and I can cut off the locking device. Procedure in hand is a policy for us and it why this tool fits my needs. And if I need anything else along the way I have the tools in my pocket. Looking to swap out the saw for a something I will use at work. I'm dreaming of the switchblade version now.

Nice comparison video. You are a funny guy and had me chuckling out loud. After looking carefully at the new P4 and thinking about how I actually use my Wave+, I can honestly say, I'm not buying the new model for several reasons: 1) I don't care about 1-hand operation. I was born with 2 hands and I've come to rely on the coordinated way they work together. When would I ever need to use only one hand? 2) I'm a hiker/camper guy and I need the little, tiny screw driver to adjust the declination on my compass. No other tool will do that. 3) I use the metal file frequently to do quick and easy sharpening of knives and axes. What changes would I make to the Wave+: I would gladly give up the serrated-edge knife for an awl (like the SAK has) The "awl" on the P4 is not a real awl anyway; too big and clunky and doesn't meet my needs for repairing things like 1000 denier packs and tents. It just doesn't. But, the Wave+ doesn't have an awl either, so this is a push. So, the bottom line for me is the new Leatherman is not a competitor with the Wave+ because it doesn't do as many important functions. Also, I couldn't care less about one-handed flipping of my multi-tool and I don't care whether the auxiliary tools are on the outside, or the inside. But, thanks for your thoughtful and humorous review/comparison. You made my day.

I just picked up a custom Surge this week and I'm fidgeting with it all the time to work it is, since I was coming from a SOG PowerLock which has one of the best one handed openings of all the multi-tools. I was really considering the Free P4, but the higher price tag (and the lackluster tool load out) made me hesitant. After watching this review I'm definitely glad that I went with the Surge, because handle comfort is a huge thing for me -- one of the reasons I was tired of the SOG -- so seeing those stupid little nubs on the Free really surprises me.

Slip joint pliers or small Vice grip + EDC folding knife + reversible screwdriver beats the crap out of Leatherman or any other ridiculously over-priced multi-tool. Multi-tools were kind of revolutionary at that moment the tools were first introduced 25 years ago. An evolution of the Swiss Army knife with a pair of pliers. Wow, what a concept. I am always shocked and amazed at the survivalists that insist on carry these metal bricks in their Get Home or Bug Out Bag... as if in the middle of an urban riot or wilderness camp you are going to need a phillips head screwdriver and pocket tool kit that does not perform 1/2 as good as the hatchet, bowie knife, or pistol you should have been packing. For the outrageous price of some these pocket tools, I could fill-up a tool box with REAL TOOLS. I still see guys on jobsites flipping these things open to use the pliers, when it would be better to just carry REAL PLIERS.

@@Clambelly I completely agree, I been carrying some small pliers, they have small handles but have a full size head. Still, I would like a lightweight tool with pliers, phillips, flat head and a blade. Could even just have a bit driver instead of multiple built-in drivers.

@@jclebedev Google Farmer's 4 way pliers .... even has adjustable wrench on the handle $14 or search pliers with screwdriver handles ... but, let me reiterate, for the cost of a Leatherman paperweight, you can easily get a REAL set of pliers [slip joint, adjustable, needle nose, or locking], reversible screwdriver and a REAL folding knife with enough money leftover to launch your own Podcast Network

Would my left handed husband be able to open this one handed? He has had the wave for years but the knife tip broke and now one side of the pliers is broken.

Hi I just got mine a few days ago and left hand only opening isn't a problem in terms of getting to the pliers. The main blade and the saw are easy enough to deploy with left middle finger, scissors and sheeps foot blade with the thumb. Being lefty isn't a drawback to function or use of the p4.

Still carrying the first Leatherman with locking tools from 30 years ago . Get a decent small fixed blade , a pair of channel locks and a SAK . It beats the shit out of any multitool and costs far less .

Damn it man, I came *specifically* for the confirmation bias and subsequent justification to drop $140 because, well - magnets. Now I have to go check out the Victorinox and consider if I need bit drivers or not. I was ready to be biased, not objectively persuaded into careful consideration.

@macgyverbryan1377

I flip open all my waves, Charges, ST300s, Rebars. The Free P4 is addictive to flip. The shape of the long tools also locks them closed when the pliers are open, except the scissors. Some tweeks could be made yes. Have the clip mountable on the flip side, then the main blade use is more comfortable. Make the serrated blade and saw have a true point for pierce cuts, ditch the package opener on the prybar (the awl works well for that). Have the removable bit driver fit in the Phillips. A fine MT over all, second gen improved though.
