@maxlvledc question about the last bit driver adapter. Is it the right size to put on a 1/4 square (socket) adapter? (I've heard so much about how bad the bits are (bad heat treat) but the form factor is so compelling. Being able to store more Leatherman bits in the same physical space as regular 1/4 hex bits makes me want to try them but I'd like to use a Chapman with a 1/4 square bit as the driver.)

I go with SOG, that compound leverage is awesome! I've have issues with Leatherman saying damage was from abuse and since the tool is riveted together, it's a unit, we won't repair it for free. SOG has had no problem sending me new plier heads or accessories and I just fix it myself. It's a plus to customize it with tools that I use more regularly.

Um, I'm not sure Leatherman hates money. A single extender (no bits inc) for the Wave (for ex) is $20, that's really expensive. In reality, the accessories wind up being very expensive. I do however LOVE my Wave AND I have a 30year+old Leatherman thats has been well used and looks and works like new. It actually has 'patent pending' stamped on it. Even the original leather case has lasted well.

Unusual. From years of owning multiple models, I can say for sure that most are high quality pieces, but I did purchase a brand new Wave that had QC issues, got a full refund and have never had that problem again. To be honest in this, the best Leatherman's are above $100, below that it can be sketchy. For example, my Super Tool 300 is flawless, but the more budget oriented models such as the Sidekick isn't one that I'd recommend.

Leatherman also hates freedom... At one point in time they were supplying tools to the atf with the words "always think forfeiture" marked on them. It was said in the event an agent isn't sure what to do, forfeiture of the item in question is always an option. I'm not saying these great Leatherman tools are not of quality, I'm just recommending we buy things from people who value freedom.

@mcarbunaru Жыл бұрын

It can be a simple explanation for that. The accesories are not fabricated directlly by them. If they need to sell more of them they need MORE MONEY blocked on a order to they suplier for that accesories. For the part 2: When they put discounts on their accesories, is probabilly need some money fast to pay something so they sell their existing stocks or their production slow down and the batches from the suppliers are becoming acumulating stocs and there fore blocked money flows. Also thei may do this for atracting people on their site and increasing the sales on their tools. But in my experience is that thing with batches comming from supliers as scheduled but to fast for their own production.
