I bought a Charge TTI which is around $190 MSRP basically only because it came with a premium blade steel (S30V). For Magnacut and this much functionality, and their warranty, I almost can’t be mad at it.

Still have it and use it to this day. The flat head screwdrivers have broken, the blade is chipped and the file is pretty much worn out. But damn it has been the best multi tool I've ever had.

I don't think the arc in this sense is refering to electrical kind of arc, it's more of it being the most high end tool they make, like the top of the arc of their multitools. Plus, even if they meant it as arc, as an electrician, that's not something you'd want to happen right 🤣 and arc is when something isn't working the way it's supposed to.... Plus, if you're an electrician, not the best idea to use a fully conductive leatherman right? Just my two cents

@tothethreshold.9965 27 күн бұрын
This a thousand times. IMO the dualforce is the best multitool to enter the market in a decade. The pliers are a game changer, so much more capable. I never used my leatherman OHTs pliers for more than a 10mm nut, they just could not provide enough grip or torque to be useable. The gerber, zero issues pulling M16 nuts. I added some extras to my dual force, all fit into or onto the carrier it comes with. A decent pocket torch. 6 7 8 10 12 13 mm socket drivers. 3.5-7mm hex. T20-T45 torx, Flat and pz2. Hex extension bit. Yes the knife is a fairly cheap steel but usable pliers are a thousand times more important than a blade that holds its edge slightly better. To me a multitool knife is something i only ever use when ever i dont have a proper knife to hand. i would rather Gerber got rid of the knife and put a decent sized prybar or scissors in its place to be honest.

Leatherman is backed into a corner. They will be the makers of expensive niche tools for people who are looking for prestige. But the patents are expired on their practical affordable tools and places like harbor freight are going to eat their lunch. I collect and I can afford this, but most people will happily buy wave clones and many Leatherman fans are content with the ones they own. My rebar hits the spot as my edc. and I have no complaints about my micra, skeletool, wave plus or sidekick or vintage pst for that matter. We will see how this company does. But I'm not dying to get this.

Looks great, I use a surge at work, it’s had a lot of abuse still going strong. But working in the buildings I would love it if leatherman did a Stanley knife blade surge, even if it had a bulge. It would be so practical to quickly change a blade and yet have all those other tools in your pocket. Further they should have not stopped the wire stripper squirt. Or they should make an insulated electricians leatherman .I have the squirt on my keys. It has saved me so many times. Awesome proper real McCoy tools make no mistake.
