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

Looking to put the pocket clip on. Does the Leatherman brand one wobble on the wave plus or is it just in the surge?

Charge plus tti

52 Upvotes

Just received this bad boy in the mail today. I understand that this tool is probably expensive to manufacture. However, in my opinion I would much rather have this than the alpha.

Yes, G10 does feel good in the hand, but this charge just feels more premium to me.

I was at a customers house the other day who just happened to daily the charge tti with the cap crimpers on the pliers. He let me look at it as we discussed leatherman together. After holding and looking at his I decided I had to have one.

Probably gonna let the arc sit out for awhile while I daily this. Paid 150 if anyone was wondering. Which I felt was a good deal (I missed the Amazon deals). Came in the original packaging with clip and sheath.

Loving the Garage #009 so far

It seems to be a much better value than #008 and may pair well with my DD skeletool. Overall, really liking it so far.

Edit: not trying to defend LM crappy 3d printing in anyway, but it seems functional so far.

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.

I’ve redid a few of my drawers with gridfinity and when I saw someone mention the included holder was gridfinity I was excited! I definitely would not have taken that out of the box lol

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.

Wave+ File not locked in place - is that right?

I just got my first Leatherman: The Wave+

I've noticed that the file doesn't stay in place when I fold it out.
Even with the lock engaged, it moves inward slightly. Is that supposed to happen?

It had years of price reduction stickers on it, not a huge find but a neat addition to the collection.

DIY Surge Pocket Clip

3 Upvotes

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!

Replacement for a Style PS

2 Upvotes

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?

Used arc. Loose pliers.

Bought a used arc. Ad said good shape.

The pliers has so much sideways play the cutters collide and get stuck. It won't cut anything. Guessing used for a lot of twisting.

This should be covered by warranty, right?

Haven't contacted seller yet.
