The lovely "cut into your palms" handles.... The Leatherman Wave was a damn miracle 👍

Love mine, pick it up with my first military pay packet a lifetime ago. Crazy days.

Quick question for you. I also own a side clip. Ive noticed the tension on one of the handles has become pretty loose. When I close it one side has the potential to open easily again. Almost like the new "Free Technology" that leatherman has implemented in their newer tools. To fix this would it just be a matter of tightening the screws down? Or would it be an issue with the washers? Thanks!

@BeginnersLuckXJ To answer that, I need to know if the handles are loose when the pliers are open, or are they perfect as plier?

@@MultitoolsandBlades They hold open and lock into place just fine when using the pliers. It's just when it's closed that the handles are loose.

Okay, that is how they are supposed to be. Tighten them any more and they will be perfect when closed but then too tight in the open plier position. Using Leatherman's factory maintenance tools, I've tried to find the sweet spot these, but it always falls one way or the other. Great fidget tool.

I wished they made a pocket clip just like that into the ST300.

ST300 is too heavy for the pants to be in the pocket. What they need are MOLLE clips

I'm interested in the short warranty story please

@DustinFlu For decades, Leatherman USA provided their international distributors with tools and parts to repair warranty claims locally. They even supplied empty boxes without labels in case boxes were damaged. Someone somewhere started to build new tools from parts and sell them off, which caused Leatherman USA to change the warranty procedure. All parts were returned to the USA and exchanged for completed tools. With the exception of the Sideclip. For some strange reason, distributors around the world still have hundreds of parts to be able to rebuild the sideclip from new old stock.

Not bad but yeah 3 flatheads is a bit excessive, that's half of the tools in the handles. It's pretty much the same toolset as the Skeletool but in a very different format - I'd take this over the Skeletool too as I'm not a fan of those flat half bits. It is very compact but I prefer my Bond, with added pocket clip, over this.

@simonh6371 I find myself reaching for the Victorinox Spirit more and more often these days. If only the Bond was made in the USA

@@MultitoolsandBlades The Bond is made in the USA i.e. assembled there, but a certain percentage of parts must be made there for some states to permit it to be labelled "made in the USA". But yes I'd take Victorinox over Leatherman any day, however they aren't UK legal edc which the Bond is. Normally carry it with a SAK with scissors anyway.

@simonh6371 yeh, right. Don't believe that for a second. Finished parts outsourced from other USA businesses that use the same "virtually all" method to classify their parts "made in USA" that themselves purchase raw materials from other USA subcontractors that do the same etc. It's a bit like the drug trade where everyone that handles the product cuts it down by 10%, leaving a highly diluted product. They did the same with the OHT, the sidekick/wingman/rev
