Another Leatherman designed solely for right-handers
937113
I was using this for a while as my EDC because I like a multitool that doesn't need a case. It's a great size for pocket-carry, a useful blade, spring pliers, and (unlike many other Leatherman products) a file that actually files things. I eventually stopped using it, though, because I found that as a left-hander, the one-handed tools were too awkward to take out one-handed. Because the outside-opening tools are only on one side, there wasn't really any recourse for me (apart from the scissors, I guess). The package opener was nearly useless, as well, since it is designed for righties. Another issue with the tool is that when closed, there is a little lateral  "wiggle" between the two halves; none of my other Leathermans have this, and it makes me think that the pins holding the two halves of the pliers aren't as beefy as they should be.

I did, however, like the little "viewing windows" so that you can see the inner tools even when the Wingman is closed.

It isn't going to hold up to somebody squeezing it like the guy in the video does. If you need to carry pliers with that kind of torque around in your pocket i don't know what to say to you.
  It's a nifty concept, and well executed. My complaint is the accessibility of the other tools on the thing: SOG makes incredibly sharp knives, and getting to those other tools without cutting yourself takes some getting used to.

I love this tool. I lost this tool. But now I bought it again. Because I absolutely love this tool.

This Leatherman was the first Leatherman I've actually enjoyed using.
It's got a belt clip AND a belt hook, because whoever designed it was a brilliant engineer, and knows carrying one of these suckers in your pocket is not an option. Leatherman makes solid tools, and they have serious heft to it, and there's no reason why it shouldn't have a functional belt clip. And a belt hook too. I can accept that.

The tools:

Carbon cleaner - This is an amazing scraper. It may be good for gun barrels but it's also good for other things that require scraping hard surfaces. Cleaning copper contacts, etc. I'm totally happy with it, it's very malleable (bends easily) and thin, and able to scrape those hard to reach places.

The bit holder - Kinda sucks you gotta have the tool half cracked to use the bit driver, but I can live with it.

The Hammer - I thought this was funny. It tries, and succeeds more than I thought. It doesn't replace a hammer though, and I'm not all that shocked. I don't intend to replace a hammer with a $180 Leatherman butt. I'll just tape a penny to a rock or a  something if I'm in a total jam and need to McGuyver something before I strike fear upon a nail with this at full force. Of course a person can imagine trying to aim with this thing in hand full force downwards, not good.
But all is not lost with teenie weenie hammer with a big soul. I've cut many a wire sleeves with the little knife inside the little hammer. And it's pretty great at doing it.

Knife - Very sharp, totally usable. I dig it.
Saw - Double tooth saw cuts through anything and does it fast. A bit rough though, but if I wanted a precision cut I'd grab a real saw with the proper blade.

Round poker thingy - I have no idea what this is for. I use it to punch holes in drywall before I put a screw through it. Maybe I'll sharpen the tip. Maybe I will put a cotton bud on the end and use it as a portable q-tip.

Pliers - This is where this tool absolutely shines in total glory. Not only does Leatherman succeed in making foldable pliers, they pull this off with style. The Pliers on the MUT are no exception to this brilliant concept and one of the more comfortable ones. Not to mention it's got wire crimp and wire cutters. I could use these as full function pliers all day and do it with a smile.

5 FULL BLOWN SHINEY STARS for my 5th Leatherman. This is my second MUT because I lost my other one, but I think this is a great tool, well engineered and great product.

This was obviously made for a LEFT-HANDED PERSON.  I wish they offered a "right-handed model".  I want to "hold it" in my left hand so I can maniupulate holding the battery & sliding the lock with my better, RIGHT hand's dexterity.  It would be better if the digital screen was the opposite way, so one could hold it in your left hand, then slide the lock downward (not upward--which is awkward to do) to make the contact.  Also, the "slider" is sticky, not sliding smoothly so maybe some vaseline or olive oil would help.  I really prefer to be able to check a battery with just using ONE hand, as in my "Micronta" checker where I just with one hand lay the battery into the compartment while the checker is lying flat.

I just recently lost my Leatherman TTi of almost two years and I used it so often and I have missed it so much this week that I thought it was only fair to write a review for future buyers. Being a Soldier this is the kind of tool that is part of my uniform. I carry mine in the premium leather case with some carefully selected bits.

During my 3 military deployments to the desert, I always kept some sort of Leatherman in my belt. I have gotten so used to these tools that they have become an extension to my right hand. Before the TTi I had a few Waves, the Surge, and even a Skeletool I found and now my wife carries in her purse. The TTi is definitely the best multitool I have ever used. I have given it all kinds of abusive treatment and it was always ready for the next task. We are issued basic Gerber multitools which are quite awful to use once you are used to the Leatherman design.

The Wave is fantastic, but the TTi really takes it further and it feels great on the hand. Look at the whole Leatherman range of tools to find the one that suits your needs. I am now considering the Leatherman OHT since it's designed for the military, but I am so used to the Wave/TTi that a different design will take some getting used it.

As a final note, don't be dissapointed if at first you get one and it feels hard to open and operate; these tools need to be broken in before they start being smooth.

In short, highly recommended tool and a bargain if you end up using it every day like I do.

Leatherman.
Well made.
CON
When stowed, the lanyard attachment point is inside the sheath which makes the lanyard attachment point useless.

This Leatherman is a handy, compact tool, nicely constructed. However, purchasers ned to notice that it does not have a blade or cutting edge which would make it even handier!

They revamped the Squirt line a few years ago, in my opinion, for the worse. I love the old S4 so much that I've bought a bunch of backups off EBay in case I lose it.

Leatherman re-did the handle material from a semi-glossy hard plastic to a matte metal finish. This was a bad move because the matte finish on mine took a lot of wear pretty quickly. The plastic gets dinged and chipped, but for some reason, I didn't mind that as much as the matte finish scraping off. The other big dis-improvement over the old S4 is in the scissors. I know some people were excited to get both scissors and pliers in one package, but the scissors in the new PS4 are so small as to be laughable. You can basically cut a loose thread, and that's about it. The other big loss is the lack of tweezers in the PS4. You don't quite realize how useful tweezers are until you have them in your pocket all the time and you find yourself using them all the time.

So, I'd recommend passing the new PS4 up. Either track down a S4 on EBay (hurry before I buy them all!) or go with the Micra (tweezers are attached to the tool, which is annoying) or the Style CS (though that doesn't have the handy screwdrivers, and frankly, is pretty big for having few tools because of the carabiner that doubles as a nearly-useless bottle opener.

The other option is to go bigger (and pay more) and go for one of the Juice line. They are considerably bigger, you won't really notice in jeans pockets, but in regular pants, they are kind of big.

I really wish companies like Leatherman and Victorinox would figure out a way to do custom products with your own choice of tools. There was something called the Drift a while back, but I heard bad things quality-wise.

they are specifically designed for left handed people if you do not put it on your left side or use it with your left hand this is why they are so cheap

I have been the owner/user of a Schrade multitool since its debut. While it has had it's faults, such as the small screwdriver that doesn't lock and the lock mechanism that can be easily sprung by pushing back on the small screwdriver, the Schrade ST1 multitool was the most comfortable to use, most useful, largest pliers multi-tool I have ever used.

I was very disappointed when Schrade went under, and thrilled when the Chinese version appeared  (My old one broke).  Wow- the pliers are much smaller, smaller than my leatherman Blast. The tools are stiff and of a lighter gauge metal. This is NOT the same tool. The world waits for someone- Leatherman, are you listening?- to come up with an improved version of this great tool.

I love the main feature of the SOG SwitchPliers, which is the switchblade-like action of the pliers. I always carry a Leatherman on my belt, and often have to unsnap the sheath, pull out the tool, and open the pliers with both hands. It can be a real time sink, and any time I need pliers at least one hand is holding something in place, so the SwitchPliers were a welcome addition to my kit. However, there are some things that I'm not fond of with this tool: I wish the knife blade was able to rotate out with one hand like my Leatherman, the tools that are stowed away in the handle come out in a grouped-up mess instead of one at a time, closing the pliers is a bit tricky due to the amount of tension that's placed on the spring to give them a switchblade-like action, and they've opened in my pocket before. I actually removed all the extra tools stowed in the handle to save some weight, with the hopes of modding this tool a little more to my liking. It's hard to rate this tool too low, however, because the instant accessibility of the pliers is a true game-changer. I just wish the extra tools in the handle didn't feel like such a last minute effort to cram versatility into this thing. Give me quick access pliers with a set of wire cutters not made out of Chinesium (preferably in an open-top belt sheath so I don't crowd my pockets already clipped with a pencil, marker, phone, & utility knife), a strong main knife blade opened with one hand, a Phillips and Flathead screwdriver stored in the handle, and I'm a happy camper. I don't use any more than that on a day-to-day basis. I'd recommend this to someone who has an extra slot in their pocket for quick-access pliers, but you might find yourself wishing for some of the same things I am.

The Gerber Freehand is supposed to be the biggest multi-tool ever made. I must admit that I purchased mine to fulfill my own curiosity, rather than for a real need. I own the Leatherman Surge, their largest multi-tool, and will focus my review of the Freehand on a comparison with that tool. The Freehand is larger than the Surge (both in length when closed and weight), however, the Surge offers more tools. Both offer large locking knife blades that are accessed without opening up the pliers. The Leathern has smoother locks. The Freehand has good blades too, though I must admit that the serrated knife with a rounded tip is not immediately useful to me. The Freehand has NO tools inside the the inner part of the plier handles. In order to keep their one handed opening feather, Gerber seems to have been unable to make room for more tools. There are two big knives, scissors, a fold out ruler that ends in an "industrial driver" and five TINY additional tools. The tiny tools include bottle cap opener, can opener, three screw drivers and a lanyard ring. The one-handed opening feature is good, though I haven't had a chance to prove the pliers yet. I would recommend this tool as a gift or an additional multi-tool for the multi-tool lover; however, I doubt that anyone will want this as his only tool.

I liked the blade, it is sharp enough to use without any additional sharping. The players aren't spring loaded so it's a little cumbersome to open each time you want to use them. Im sure the hook on the side of the handle is convent, I just don't like the way it felt in my hand. I opted for a different Leatherman multitool instead.

I lost my Leatherman Ti Charge and decided to go back to the Wave. Can't beat a Leatherman, and the Wave (IMO) tops them for all for general use -- smooth handles and smooth action on the foldout tools. While a little stiff now (b/c it's new), I assume it will loosen up perfectly like the previous ones did.

The included leather sheath is rather tight initially, but starting to stretch appropriately. Compared to the woven/velcro sheath, it's more sleek and slim, but doesn't carry the extra bits.

FWIW, It seems like the bottle/can opener has been recently(?) redesigned and improve, making it function more easily.

The main reason I love this knife is because of the solid construction and the excellent soft rubber grip on the handle.  If it weren't for these attributes, I probably wouldn't recommend this knife.

As the others have stated, there is no carabiner clip on this knife.  It's a single blade knife with no "multi-tool" function... very solid.

I always remove the pocket clip on my knives, but this Leatherman required a bit of modification.  I had to place small felt rings under the washer to prevent it from rattling with the pocket clip gone.  You'll need a T8 six-point screwdriver to remove the clip.

I have long been a fan of the multitool, and have used leatherman tools for many years.  This is one of my favourite.  I think the best aspect of this tool is it's ergonomics.  It feels refined, durable, while maintaining comfort; far more so than you would expect from a slab of steel.  The pliers appear sturdy, the knife blade arrived sharp, with an aggressive, and functional, apperance.  The screwdriver bits lock positively into the end of handle, with the spare bit held in via friction, but it does not look like it would fall out on it's own- easily anyway.  I have not used the bottle opener yet, but it looks like it should function well.  At the end of the handle containing the bottle opener, there is a hole through the handle (lanyard hole), which is large enough to fit a small carabiner, if desired.

I have had the pleasure of using this tool now for a few days, and though it is a very nice tool, and I find myself reaching for it more than I thought I would, I think I will continue using the Gerber crucial&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Gerber-31-001015-Crucial-With-Strap-Cutter-and-EVO-Mid-Knife-Combo/dp/B0055OTB74/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Gerber 31-001015 Crucial With Strap Cutter and EVO Mid Knife Combo</a>&nbsp;as my EDC multitool.

The gerber's pliers provide more of a needle point at the end, which has proven very useful in the past.  I also like the blade on the gerber a bit better- I like the less aggressive shape.  The Gerber tool comes in a few different flavours; my favourite is linked above.  The cord cutter is a large part of what gravitates me to this particular model, and the black coating on the tool should inhibit rusting.  The crucial doesn't 'feel' as good as the skeletool; it has more pointy edges and sharper corners, and though comfortable to use (especially compared to many older multitools- ouch!) does not have the smooth and sleek feel the skeletool has.  It is shorter and fatter than the leatherman, and while closed, seems to fit in my hand a bit better than the leatherman.  The only real functional benefit that I can find to the skeletool is the extra pair of screwdriver bits, though the bits provided on the gerber have tackled almost everything I have thrown at them.

If I ever tire of my Gerber crucial, I will have no second thoughts about using the skeletool for EDC; nor do I find myself missing all the extra bells and whistles found on larger multitools (file, saw, backup blade, punch, etc...).  All in all, a very well designed and thought out product.

It seems like such a great idea.  In execution, though, I almost never use it.  The sheath holds the bit inserts, which make this a true multitool.  However, the same velcro flap that holds the bits is the only provision for a belt loop.  No problem, I'll just use the clip and put it in my back pocket, right?  Nope.  The way the handle for the pliers can trigger open leaves the tip of the blade exposed to your index finger as you draw the knife.  The handle, having flipped open, is now snagged in your pocket.

The knife blade is large for the sake of large.  A useful tool blade size would be maybe half of what this is.  Mine came very sharp, but it looks almost like a Bowie blade.  The driver bits are strung onto the philips blade, which means they can only be used as a t-handle driver, not out of the end like you'd expect.  So it takes 5 times the clearance as the other way.

The adjustable wrench is fairly useful, if a little loose.  I wanted this to replace the Duluth pouch I carry at work with a Crescent wrench, a pair of Robo Grips, and a pair of needle nose pliers, but it's just not up to the job.  All of these tools are compromises, so I only take it in case of emergency.  If it were an emergency, these tools wouldn't be of sufficient quality to depend on.
