Everyone should have one (Leatherman Signal Review)

Here's my review of the leatherman signal and why i think that everyone should have one.

Thanks for watching & enjoy :)

I've watched a 1000 reviews on leatherman products your the 1st to explain why that blade is designed that way, and your 💯 right thank you for opening my eyes to that.

As a biomedical engineer who works on anesthesia machines and critical high risk equipment, my signal has been the perfect tool and has allowed me to get by in hairy situations. 👍🏼

I carry the surge on my belt everyday for 7 years now, don't really notice the weight (way more useful) in an offbrand nylon sheath with velcro instead of push button. Anyway, you're right about the fact that everyone should carry some sort of multitool with them.

Enjoyed the opinion and logic on the Signal👍 My one possible supporting thought would be that if your using the signal as your emergency kit or "Bag" multitool then it should be a tool that is affordable enough to just leave in a kit. I think this supports selecting the Signal over other offerings from Leatherman that have been suggested in the comments. However there might be some other more affordable Leatherman options that would work as well. I myself have dedicated my Wave as my E bag multitool since I rarely need a multitool plier in my daily life since I work in the trades and have convenient access to pliers in my tool bag that is with me or in my vehicle 24/7. My daily edc multitool is a Victorinox One Handed Trekker which serves my personal daily edc needs quite well paired with a Keychain attached Victorinox Classic SD for the little scissors primarily.

Mine lives on the right hip of my belt,
just behind my Buck Knife.
I do use it all the time.
Even for spreading peanut butter on a role!
I’ve used all the tools, except the can opener,
but it probably works well, like the rest do!
My Wave now lives in a get home bag in my vehicle.
It’s also a great tool!

Diamond files really need to be used with as little pressure as possible, relying on the abrasive and very light strokes. Otherwise it'll chip off like you've shown

The hole in the awl was designed for sewing canvas and leather .

[Phlfwlr]

I have one, It’s my favorite Leatherman. I also carry mine in a tool organizer inside of my backpack.

wave + signal = good team for everyday

[hoanganhaim]

I carry my Signal crimson every single day, in any situation, it's helped me get the job done perfectly :D

[MesaperProductions]

the hammer is very useful for setting tent spikes and such things.

[rageoftheredphoenix]

A scissor feature on that tool would be great. Or if it be possible for leatherman to create one for this type of leather man and somehow create another blade and fit it inside the leather man.

Have carried a leatherman since 1996 and I use it every day

[MrWmburr]

I realize that not everything that glitters is gold, but this little multi-tool just screams out "beautiful". I play with it almost daily even though I usually have better things to do. I just can't help fondling the darn thing!

[AriRR]

you convinced me, I'm buying a signal tonight, its on sale 🙂 I could mention your channel in my review if you don't mind

I really like the design of Signal but it's falls into a middle of the road wasteland for me. Lacking some tools that I consider a must have and not small enough to justify a secondary tool for the days when I need a minimalist tool. I'm looking into the Skeletool with the hammer mod for a minimalist tool. I'm not an outdoors person so a saw isn't as much of a need compared to a file with metal cutter. I still want a saw but have used it less than the file by a lot. Good scissors are also a must for a full tool. For small, stranded wire, scissors can't be beat as a wire stripper once you develop a feel for it.

One of the two features that I wish almost every multitool would take from the signal is the knife sharpener. Having that on board for days where you use your blade a lot but are away from home that thing would be great to get you by. The other is a hammer surface. The only other Leatherman I know of that has it is the Arc and it's way too expensive.

Great video! I think I might go buy one of these.

Own a Surge and have the same pouch for it but the extra amount of space is useful for instance u can fit an 1 AAA battery powered torch 🔦 small it can fit under the tool and still be able to snug clip it .
Or a small head screwdriver with bits in its inner shell.
Then hanging duck tape on carabiner.
Or small pack of 3 inch length cable ties.
Is just endless with a bit of fantasy8

For the money the Ozark Trail knife at wal mart for 15.95 is best deal and is good quality.
