Leatherman finally released a ratchet driver! first impressions are pretty good! , Well be doing some toture testing soon so stay tuned!
@txtoolcrib3 жыл бұрын
I think the fact that this ratchet mechanism uses a smaller tooth count than I am accustomed to, such as a 60 or 72 tooth ratchet, allows for a bit more play. Well done Adam!
@gearsNtools3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Ben! Yeah I think something this small the teeth would get so small it’d be more susceptible to damage with a high tooth count. Keep up the good work over on your channel, you’re doing a great job!

I literally just got mine today along with mu charge tti. Leatherman just put a nail in the coffin of all other competitors. At least for now until the Chinese made companies steal their idea and sell it for 2$. Man is this thing awesome it totally blows the regular extender out of the water. It is so easy to drive screws and take them out. It makes the best multi tool untouchable

This is why I keep coming back to Leatherman, they aren't afraid to try new things, it's not always perfect but I appreciate that they are pushing into new areas. the skeletal, signal, MUT, and ratchet are all examples where they tried to do something a bit different. Thanks for watching!

I can't believe no one has done this before and I also can't wait until someone copied it and makes it in 1/4" instead of the Leatherman proprietary thing

Good video, I see everyone complain about the amount of play in the ratchet your the only channel to mention that all ratchets have play in them. Exactly what I was thinking. Good stuff
@gearsNtools3 жыл бұрын
I’d like to see it tighter but given how small it is and the nature of ratchets I think it’s well within what is considered normal. You get just as much play out of the connection to the leatherman adapter. Thanks for watching!

Just received mine today. There is a little bit of play but it isn’t effecting the use of the tool at all. Not my best ratcheting driver, but it wasn’t designed to be. It’s small and it Fits the Leatherman. Very satisfied.

I just did a destruction tests on this driver. Unfortunately, my torque meter doesn’t register low enough to read the breaking point. I am going to redo this test with a lower range. I wanted to ask you if you intend to do a similar test, so that we might be able to compare results to see how consistent they are.
@gearsNtools3 жыл бұрын
Glad you asked! I do plan to destroy this ratchet driver (Looks like the video is well on the way to 250 likes so I have to fulfill the promise!). I saw your video (Nice work BTW) looks like yours was close to 25 FT/LBS I have a 10-80 FT/LBS torque wrench, I'll do it manually starting at 10 then 15, then 20 and from there we'll go in smaller increments. I'm a bit surprised it didn't exceed 25lbs I wonder if yours had some weare from the other testing you did? I'll probably have this video up before the end of the weekend.

@@txtoolcrib I broke the Leatherman bit side right at 25 FT/LBS the ratchet functions but has a few sticky spots so it defiantly has some damage inside. I'm surprised by these results since your housing broke, I'm wondering if because I put multiple stress loads on it by working up the tourqe wrench settings I fated the metal. I'm really interested to see how your second test goes, I'll have my video up soon.

I've been really on the fence, cause I'm in alot of LM groups....and a significant portion of the posts are people receiving theirs... completely fallen apart. Parts everywhere. That's how the came in the package! Don't know what to make of that. The video reviews have been great, but the customer posts have been almost 50/50...

Thanks for sharing! I can only speak from my own experience it came in one piece and seems to work as advertised. I don't have any illusions that it'll be taking the lug bolts off my car tires but for screwdriver type work it seems to work well. Maybe they had a bad batch get out? It does have a 2 year warrantee so if you get a bad one for some reason you can always have LM replace it.

@@gearsNtools I really want to love it! When I first heard about them I was incredibly excited. Like you said, I hope it was just a bad batch..but I hope LM takes notice and fixes the issue before I give in and grab one 😆

Will the bit driver only fit into a leather and, or will it fit into any standard bit driver?
@gearsNtools3 жыл бұрын
Good question. It will fit into both. It will fit into a leatherman but it also fits into a standard 1/4” bit driver., the leatherman bits are basically the same as standard bits but with 1/16” taken off both sides so it’s 1/8” thick but still fits into a 1/4” driver with a gap on either side

no you would need to pull it off and put in in one of the side pockets of the sheath.
