Why is this better than pliers from the discount store?
2047186
Seriously? I would rather have something that works and looks a little more classy in a bowl of nuts. I wouldn't feel good about pliers sitting in my bowl especially when family/friends are over. I will say, this cracker works better for larger nuts rather than the hazel nuts we enjoy but we also use them for cracking crab claws.

Well, if you have tried pliers and they crack nuts without crushing and breaking them into pieces, then they aren't any better. I like them because I can get whole nut halves.

These are actually horrible. I thought i was clicking on something else when i said they were good.

I like the Squirt better myself. I almost always prefer the original style tools to the skeletool/wave style. Still it depends on what you're going to use it for. Your best bet is to buy whatever has more of the tools you will personally find useful. For example, I personally almost never care whether my MT has a scissors, while for some people the folding scissors is the most important tool. My least favorite thing about the Style is that I can't get a knife and pliers in the same tool. But if say the tweezers are a key part of the tool for you, then maybe you would be better off with the Style PS. I like the Squirt better myself.

The screw guns are more compact and better ballanced. The recipricating saw is about the same. I also noticed longer battery life. I am very pleased, as a contractor, I would definetly recomend to anyone!

Looking at leatherman.com, it looks like there is a new version - in fact, it's the lead "story" on the site right now. This would likely be the reason for the price drop.Looking at the manufacturer's site, it looks like the only difference is cosmetic - the tools appear to all be the same. If it were me, I'd jump on the $20 savings and grab one of these before the new stock replaces it.

I made my own and they work well. I went to my local Lowes as they sell bolts, washers and nuts individually not in a multiple bag of pieces. I had some hardwood pieces around so I cut the lengths I wanted, made openings for the bolts and what I made works great. I don't have a need for metal clamps as the Dremel and the press are light weigh. This is just a suggestion, make you own.

I own both and think the other does a better job cutting nails (sharper blades), but this product has a nail catcher (the white plastic around it). My nails are tough to cut, so I appreciate the better blades on the other one, but this one work well, too.

I have both. Both crimp very well. But if your looking for a crimper that can cut the ends of the wire off its perfect. Saves lots of time for me.

About the same quality and ease of use . I would shop by price between the two. Both are good kits but make sure the kits are not going to expire soon before you open them.

Platinum Tools 100054C Clamshell EZ-RJPRO HD Crimp ToolI went with a higher grade crimping tool that did everything I needed. Wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money when I was shopping around, but after cabling my entire house I was happy I went with this model instead of one of the lower cost ones. It cuts, strips, crimps easily and quickly.Hope this helps, Dan.

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

I used rubber handled pliers. One came right off and the other required a little extra effort.

Dont buy this. A channellock large pliers works better and has more other uses. Also you should only hand tighten. Any more is unnecessary. If your first time read some guides online. Changing your own oil is easy if you do it right. Can be messy at times...

According to the website, its just different packaging. The tool is the same in either case, go with whichever is cheaper

It was really easy to work the plastic using my dremel's rotozip/drywall bit. I think the "fold the cord in half, zip-tie, and unspool both ends" hack will work better, though.

Since I have both I would say the E-tool is better when it comes to utility. It is more versatile. Given my experience with Gerber though it probably is more durable and higher quality. The e-tool typically lasts me a year and then I have to replace it. I do tend to abuse it though and usually will opt for the cheaper knock-off version as opposed to the branded version which is a little more expensive and is probably better made.

This is a smaller loom that is held in your hand so that you can make different types of designs that come out the bottom without all the confusion. My husband; who has big hands, is enjoying how easy it is to use and prefect his skills...It is worth the money for sure. So to answer your question directly YES it is better, in my humble opinion.

in my opinion they all do about the same thing. Something you can use in a pinch when the tool box is far away. Sometimes you a dime as a screwdriver in a pinch.
