This was like a minimalist multi-tool. It doesn't quite have the toolset of the Pocket Survival Tool but its a lot better than just carrying around a pocket knife. I love my Pocket Survival Tool, Kick and Rev because of their simplicity. I love my Original Wave too for a bit more selection but for me I like the basics.

This was my first multi tool Got it back in 09 and its still going strong Whoever reads his. If you find one cheap buy it as a beater tool

I really appreciate these history style videos. Keep it up.

Because of this lovely introduction and the grippy handle which gives you big advantage when you use the pliers I ordered one of these model and i have to get it soon. Thank you for not forgetting the old classics!

What a nice offering this was. Inexpensive, but perfectly robust. Unlike the Wingman, which is not even inexpensive anymore.

I love the size of this tool, swapped the jaws with the one's that have the removable cutters and added a wingman pocket clip.

This is awesome. This is my first leatherman model. Still have it

The kick was my first leatherman. I got it in 2011 and it is still my office edc.

You're absolutely right on that clip, thank you

I'm here to Wave+ and say I've been watching your videos and I'd say you are doing an amazing job reviewing tools! Keep up the good work.

Lent my kick to someone, came back with a snapped plier! Was a great tool for 12 years. Was using it daily on the farm. Only other damage was i snapped the end of the 1/8 flat screwdriver. I also liked the size and comfort. Keen to find a good replacement.

They should have put the wide flathead srewdriver file combination of the Minitool in there. Leave out the eyelet and replace the mini srewdriver with a strong awl.

I love my kick. Just the right combination of tools...

Love your channel and the detailed reviews, you do an excellent job. Have you ever had a Leatherman Pulse? I think it's an underappreciated tool. Would love to see what you think of it.

Totally agree about the pocket clip fastener. Would be great on other/all tools

It's a lightweight gadget you can put in your pocket with a few good tools that pop tightly in place by spring retention.

У мене питання щодо цього инструменту- чи можна становити у нього інструменти із Supertool 300? Вони сумісні, чи не підійдуть? А також, чи можливо встановити їх із Supertool 300 у Fuse або Blast?

I got one of these years ago for next to nothing at a 2nd hand sale. Not really used it much, but it's interesting in it's simplicity. I should probs leave it in the car in the boot or something, just in case.

You should check out the Gerber MP1 MRO. It's what I switched to after my center drive kept eating up the cutters.

Totally forgot I had a Kick until this vid. Haha

Interesting. I’m curious about what competitor product it was specifically aimed at. Thanks for another solid review.

The Leatherman surge came out in 2005 along with the core

Another great review, Ben! I have a Core, and I like it. The Kick does not interest me that much, to be honest. I'll grab one if I find a good deal, but I am not seeking it out. Have you seen the Ganzo multi-tools? Most come with a hex bit adapter, and it fits the square shank Phillips of Leatherman and Gerber multi-tools. Some people buy them just for the bit kit, and use it with a Rebar, MP400 etc. It even fits on other brand multi-tools, like Workpro, Roxon, CRKT, and more. They made a version for Gerber, just the same adapter with "Gerber" engraved on the side. It would be interesting to see you review a Ganzo, like a 202 or 302, which are higher quality than their cheap offerings.

The Zytel line was a curious move for Leatherman, in my opinion. I thought they solved the hotspot problem of the PST and PSTII with the Pulse. In fact, I think my Pulse is more comfortable than my Blast. It's noteworthy that they dropped the Zytel inserts and went back to rounded edges with the Rebar. Granted, the locking mechanism on the Pulse and Supertool 200 was functional, but not great -- but I thought the Zytel attempted to fix a problem that had already been fixed.

How would you rate the kick to the side clip?

Perhaps the only thing I can say I absolutely do not like about my Rebar is that one of the "tools" is a freaking lanyard loop! THAT ISN'T A TOOL! The person that came up with that idea is however... lol I just feel like a pocket clip or lanyard loop are acceptable as add-ons to buy separately, but that tool slot should go to something more useful. Anything would have been better than a lanyard loop. That being said, I'm begrudgingly using the lanyard loop with a suspension clip because I have no other option as far as pocket clips are concerned.

Just picked up a kick at a thrift store for 2.99

Hey I'm looking into leatherman and was wondering how there black oxide and other coated models hold up. Is it worth getting them? Dies the coating just wear off after a little use? That kind of thing

👍👍👍

I'm going to swap the knife for a pst flile and make a pocket clip

Why isn't this called the Wave? Its got the looks

letting everyone know it is a FEMALE DOG to get apart.

I just got at a pawn shop for $10. It appears to have never been used for anything. It was made march of 2012. The can opener and Phillips are really hard to get open.
