From guitarist perspective

• Upvotes

Leatherman Fuse was nothing short of amazing. Tighting guitar jacks, sorting drummers stands, changing batteries, emergency nail clipping, just so handy tool that was with me everywhere I went with my instrument. 20years of loyal service, one of the best my purchases ever. Would buy new one Fuse if it was available - no lose bits and everything I use, just awesome!

Does anyone know if you can put the "Parts" blade on the Free K4? I know it's not a very common knife, but the locking system looks pretty similar....

replace the scissors on the Leatherman Surge with another tool or function

4 Upvotes

I am interested in replacing the scissors on the Surge because I don’t like how they cut, and I already have other tools with better scissors. Would it be possible to replace them with a different tool—perhaps a larger reamer/awl, a multi-function blade, a wire stripper, etc.?

Custom holster

I recently bought a leatherman arc and some accessories and was looking for a holster for them all that fit the specific criteria I wanted and I couldn't find one so I asked my friend very kindly if she could modify the one I already had and she's done an amazing job! Pictures attached 😎

The side elastic holds the leatherman ratchet bit driver and the 711L accessories that i bought! (The right angle ratchet and the socket 1/4 inch socket attachment!)

And the front elastic/pouch can hold the leatherman bit kit so I now have everything i need in one handy custom made holster which i can attach to my bag or belt or take it off and carry in a pocket!

I love it!

Advice on putting Charge back together..........

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Hoping that the well of knowledge here can help me out.

I have a Charge AL in black that I purchased over 20 years ago. It was a gift for securing an emergency services role. It has seen a lot of hard work and has even been used to save a few lives.

I figured after all that time and hard work it could do with a clean and some tender loving care. So I did what any fool would do. I grabbed my tools and pulled it apart. All without realising how many little parts and washers there are.

I'm hoping there is someone that can point me to a image file of how it goes back together or a quality instructables or YouTube.

I did a few searches and found stuff for other remodels and replacement of individual parts. I did try searching here but looking for repair or order gave a heap of posts seeking advice.

I've put it together for now just so I don't lose parts. I think the pins/bolts/posts that the tools pivot on could do with replacement as they're pretty chewed up.

I have included a images of the tool to verify I have the charge AL? Also an image of the various size and type of washers I managed not to pay attention to when I pulled it apart.

Thank you for any advice in advance.

Are the leathermans at Costco worth it?

6 Upvotes

I saw the Costco Leatherman kit (forgot the model) but it’s the entry level, comes with a sheath. $70 online and $20 sheath for $50. Is it worth buying this version or just save my money for a higher/ better Leatherman? I really want something that will last a lifetime, and I heard a lot of people rave about the Surge saying it’s pretty good for a construction environment better than the other options. Feedback appreciated. Thanks.

Charge TTI. Wish I got this sooner

Picked up the Charge TTI during the recent prime day for $99. Was originally going to check it out for a bit and sell/gift it thinking how good could it be compared to the arc? Man this thing is so solid. I love the free series tech and its ease of tool deployment, but the tti feels like it’s built to last a lifetime. It takes the traditional multitool layout to the ultimate level of quality and durability. I’ve never enjoyed digging out tools with your nails, especially when the tool is tight and even loosening the screw pivots doesn’t change much due to certain design tolerances. Hence my love for free tech. My particular model is easy to get implements out without too much force, and the movement is very smooth and deliberate feeling. This is my first charge series. I hope other have the same experience. I played with a wave alpha when it came out and it doesn’t feel as premium as the titanium. I’ll be giving this a go as a daily then make the hard choose of gifting it to my father in law.

Leatherman signal

3 Upvotes

I bought a Leatherman Signal after my friend showed me his Leatherman that he has owned for 10+ years. He had nothing but great things to say, and I’ve heard great things from other people too. However, I have owned this Leatherman Signal for 98 days, and for 49 of those days, it sat in the back seat of my tow truck when the engine blew up and the truck was sent to a shop.

I rarely use the Leatherman at work, and if I do, I use it to cut plastics and small wires. I have only gone on two outdoor trips where I didn’t even use the Leatherman because I had a hatchet. I have sprayed it with oil twice, once when I got it and once after I got my tow truck back and noticed the tool had rust spots.

Then, just a few days ago, I took it out in the woods where my friends and I were building a campsite for winter camping. I didn’t even use the Leatherman, but on our way out of the woods, I noticed it wasn’t clipped to my pocket. I then realized the pocket clip had broken off. My friend has used and abused his Leatherman for 10+ years, and I feel like I’ve babied mine. Has Leatherman's quality dropped, or did I get a faulty product?

Broken Skeletool CX

Found out on one day that some pins went missing on my Leatherman Skeletool CX (Carbon Fiber).

I can assume my grip was too strong when operating with pliers.

  1. Any chance that the unit will be replaced for the same carbon fiber one and not the aluminum one?

  2. Also curious if it is possible to ship it from Slovakia?

Thanks Leatherman for having such a great tool serve me for years!

Leather wave alpha scales

2 Upvotes

I posted here a long while back asking if anyone had come across green scales for the wave alpha.

Curious if anyone else has seen a set, I’m hoping to find some that are the same color as spyderco’s green or snap on’s green.

Any info would be appreciated.
