The best summary on Leatherman. The fastest way to get the big picture.

I got my first (and second) Leatherman tool in 1985, while I was in basic training. after getting one, I quickly realized that often you need two tools at the same time. this is why I have carried a minimum of two every since. I have had a very wide range of Leatherman tools over the years, and still have most of them. I understand you had limited access to the tools of the past, but you did say "every" and you left off two of my favorite tools. the Micra and the Mini. I picked up a mini when they first came out, and still carried the two on my belt, but kept it in one of the pouches on my LBE, with my PFAK. a while back I did a video on all of my multi tools, and showcased my Leatherman tools as the ones I always return to.

@@OtherThanIntendedPurpose I’ll check out your collection video. There are a lot of great retired tools. For this video I focused on currently available plier based tools for people looking to buy. I did shoutout some notable retired tools at the end, and the PST lineage is shown in text at the beginning but I think I forgot about the mini!

5:42 Rev has better plier head, the cutters actually meet and cut wire. So imo if you see it on sale, grab one ! I switched to rev from skeletool, I feel like it's little bit tougher yet still carries well in the pocket.

@ilya2800 Ай бұрын

I have Rev and I very like it!

@edgaraquino2324 29 күн бұрын

Agreed!😊 the REV has an excellent plier head & cutters, a very sharp blade, no spring & a package cutter which is excellent...it has a great many uses & if you are out & about on a light day, it's a perfect pocket carry by itself, or with a Swisscard & a favorite folder....if you can get it for a decent price, grab it....

This is exactly the video I was looking for about a month ago. Ended up buying the skeletool, very nice piece of kit, not really the best at doing anything, but it gets the job done for what I need it for and it’s the perfect size and weight for what I wanted.

@Kayakatools Ай бұрын

I’m glad you found one you like. The skeletool is really handy. Starting with the Skeletool also gives you room to upgrade if you ever want to try another one lol.

I like the wingman used it for years and never had a problem the plyers worked well not a big fan of the skeletool but it’s not made for heavy duty work

@Kayakatools Ай бұрын

I’ve heard a lot of people who own the Wingman like it. I liked its toolset and spring loaded pliers are nice. I wouldn’t personally recommend it because I felt the wire cutters and scissors were a step backwards. I did a whole video on the WM if you’re interested kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epmIdK6qsZjLm3k.htmlsi=fh6Y_mj9Ed3VOKpR Yeah the Skeletool does have some compromises, the pliers are thin and the handles are only comfortable if you don’t have to really squeeze them

@@Kayakatools Your videos are absolutely awesome though when you mentioned your second channel in a video about the Firefly knife there was no link that I can find to your second channel And then when I manually searched and found your second channel there were no links to any of the Leatherman tools that you recommended In this video . I know I'm just lazy but it would have been nice not to have to spend the time now to read through the transcript and then do a Google search And I'm old and still have an attention span but I doubt that anyone younger than me who has a frenetic attention span of a fruit fly would not take the effort and you'd lose a subscriber. Not a criticism just a suggestion.

Im surprised you did not mention that the skeletool is a huge waste of money. Mine broke the plier part off twice. I went and bought a gerber that has yet to need to be returned.

@Kayakatools Ай бұрын

The skeletool has the weakest plier head. The Surge/Supertool plier head, Free, and Rebar/Signal are the strongest I believe.

no one uses an awl.

@astaschak Ай бұрын

I use one probably once a week and is why I have to carry an Alox Victorinox along with whatever tool or knife I have. No one does the awl/reamer like they do. Leathermans are ok if your goal is to caveman your way through something soft. If you want to actually drill something then the Victorinox specifically the inline reamer only on the 93mm line is the way to go.

@MrKumbancha Ай бұрын

i use it quite a lot, for leatherworking and for drilling stuff if you dont have power tools when you need them, that being said, i mean the victorinox one, the leatherman is not quite as useful

@Kayakasaurus Ай бұрын

I’ve used the Free one for drilling a hole for a drywall anchor (and hammering it in). Also used the threading and screwing functions of that particular one.
