The G10 scales makes me feel I don't wanna put this down.

Picked it up after I made the post about choosing something else over it. I will say the model on display did not feel as good as this one it felt very stiff, mine came out the box feeling like a balisong, I love flipping it like it’s one. Going to use this like I originally planned to replace most of my edc, and for the past couple days it’s been great. I like to carry a pocket knife but the fast action of opening the Magnacut blade is just as good so it really does put most of my edc into one package. My original complaint was paying $300 dollars for one multitool with tax and if you buy the bit kit, which is very disappointing it doesn’t at least come with that (don’t really need the sheath sense it has the pocket clip) would have been nice to still keep that with it for the price increase. If you have the money it’s definitely worth the purchase, unless of course you want more than just one multitool. I’m loving it, I’m glad I gave it a chance and I hope it can handle some abuse.

Just picked up for $75. How did I do?

This one was actually defective but I feel like it’s not to bad I could get a replacement hopefully or just leave it be I won’t be torquing any mini screws anyway.
A steal nonetheless!!
I’ve been wanting a good multitool

Ok now that I have it in my hands I can see what the complaints were about
The 3d print on the insert is rough and the tolerances on the t-shank holder is a little loose
Was it worth the hype: no
Was it worth $75: yeah
It feels nice in the hand, I’m keeping mine, I hope either leatherman will release the files to print your own insert or someone will make a custom one, I love the fact that this is some actual r&d a new idea, it needs a couple more iteration before it’s ready for a full market release if they ever plan on it. After all the backlash, I don’t think it’s likely.

NIB ,2019 year ,though box has its seal sticker slit to open the box.

What sort of value these might be now ( lets say in European Union) nowadays. Not selling/trading,just wondering has it effected when these were discontinued.

I assume they will but would like to know if someone has done it before. Got this for $2 and the pliers are broke and the blades tip is bent. Since it has the same pliers as the skeletool they would replace them right?

I love using the skeletool cx in my sling bag carries. I have a disease and see doctors almost weekly. It works as a great little multitool for those DR. Appointment trips. I love the tpu hammer and thumb stud I added from Kristen Van Patten.

1. The Leatherman pocket clips are hardened. They're hard af actually. Shouldn't have been surprised, makes perfect sense, I just never thought about it. I tried to bend the end of it up a little, it bent down throughout the years, it was hard to squeeze the jeans pocket under it. So I tried to bend it up, didn't budge, not even a little... then just broke. That brought me to learn the second thing.
2. I was about to order the new one, then I had an idea. Rounded off the the broken edges, heated up just the end of it, bent it upwards a bit... and it's good as new. I feel like it's better this way, to be honest.

Crisis averted. New knowledge acquired. Little bro kept it's good ol' trusty clip. EOF.

Hello Leatherman community.

I’ve heard people make their own pocket clips for the surge out of basically anything, spoons, worn out saw blades, etc. Does anyone have specs or any dimensions for it? I have a machine shop at my disposal and wanted to try making my own. Thanks in advance!

Here is my solution for the lack of pocket clip on the OHT, this is a CIVIVI clip that cost me 6 euros, no screw needed just the clip that fit perfectly with the original hardware.

What should I get next? Thinking of getting a Rebar in Burnt Sienna? Any suggestions?

Love the tool, have had it for about 10 years now, but the spring on the scissors broke and the tip of the file/screwdriver broke, and Leatherman will replace it, but with a Micra or Wingman, since they no longer have any repair parts.

So, I have some questions for the community:

1) has anyone tried the replacement parts makers on Etsy - I found one that makes replacement scissor springs, buy not the file, yet?

2) Any recommendations for a different manufacturer's pocket tool that includes pliers, which the Micra does not?

Just stumbled across this Leatherman hoodie on Vinted, figure someone here would be into it.
Reasonable price plus free shipping I think

did a bunch of research and finally pulled the trigger. My signal is on the way. Now I'm already considering some mods. I've seen a few people replace the saw with scissors, and I'm wondering if it would be similarly easy to do the same with the knife instead. I really don't enjoy multitool knives, and always carry a standalone knife anyway, so I'd really like to have the added functionality of the scissors, especially since I can just swap the knife back in whenever I like, and don't need to void my warranty either.

Would such a mod be possible/easy to do? I would assume a little filing is involved, but I don't want to modify the tool itself so I can keep my warranty.

What scissors do you suggest?

Been a Leatherman fan for a while and couldn’t find a dedicated Discord server for people who just want to chat about their tools, models, EDC setups, sharpening/maintenance, etc.

Before I put time into building one out — is there already one out there I’m missing? And if not, would people actually use something like this?

Would be unofficial/fan-run, nothing official — just a place to nerd out about multitools.

I'm gutted, was such a good fidget tool and use the screwdriver every day in work.

Hope the person that found it gives it a good life :(

I've bought one about 2 weeks ago and I have a question for you who had one for perhaps longer.

Did you ever lose bits from it? I wonder whether I should consider putting them in my wallet or something.

Just received this email from Leatherman.

TLDR: They have heard the complaints regarding the tension of tools on the recent Captain Crunch. They are offering free inspections and adjustments to fix any multitools that may not have been adjusted properly from factory.

QC should’ve caught this before the Crunch even dropped, but at least some steps are being taken to fix the situation.
