NEW Leatherman Garage #5 – Full Review

The Best Leatherman ever made? This is the Leatherman Garage #5 40th Anniversary Tool - is it as good as it looks?

This channel is here to give you ideas and inspiration when it comes to finding great Everyday Carry, Travel Gear and Gadgets, on the back of solid and detailed reviews alongside years of experience, which I hope will make life and travel just a little bit more frictionless and fun.

My name is Jonathan, I have a passion for all things gadget, travel and EDC (Everyday Carry), which has filled both my personal and work life for many years.

I welcome any feedback on my videos or the channel in general in the comments. See below for more on this.

Product Sourcing:

When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either  purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review.  Many suppliers are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.

I am sometimes sent a product by a supplier which I may include if the product fits planned content and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. The product needs to be worthy of a review and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the content in any way. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many product offers are politely declined.

Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding.

Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description.  Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review. There is no cost to you and in some cases discounts can be obtained via the link or via an included code.

If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description.  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.

Replying to Comments:

I really appreciate the feedback in the comments - I find it a source of knowledge and inspiration - so thank you to all of you who take the time to contribute. This is not just for me as the creator, it is a valuable source of information for all readers of the comments. I have recently found that if I continue to respond to all the comments as the number of videos builds, it takes significant time away from being able to produce new content which would be very counter productive! So my aim is to read everything I can and reply when I can, after each video goes live for the first few hours at least, and beyond that when possible. I'll see how that works out 😊

Please consider subscribing and being notified to keep up to date with new video releases.

Thank you for supporting the channel.

I was a young soilder in 1983 I bought a leatherman tool when the first became available in the UK. I had it for years used often finaly lost it in the early 2000s when it was stolen when I left my duty belt un-supervised in a police locker room .. I was very sad to lose it.

I do wish they hadn't stopped stamping rulers along the edge of the handles, I found this helpful a number of times.

I've been carrying leatherman tools for 25 years. This is the most ideal toolset, and best looking one I've ever seen.

[papik]

I’m blown away!! Even though Leatherman are fantastic tools, sometimes aesthetically they can look all the same. But this is absolutely super looking, and with great upgrade to various working parts. Man how lucky are you!! Thanks Jon.

[markbaines]

Been a Leatherman user for over 25 years and that one looks amazing!

[BlesamaSoul]

What a wonderful bit of kit Jon, so pleased you managed to secure one as you deserve this with your years of use/loyalty to the brand. Looking forward to the arc

[paulatreides]

That's a perfect tool set. Hopefully ARC will have the same!
Thank you, John for sharing this with us!

Great review, Jon. Every episode is more polished than the last. Grateful for you and Jamie.

What a privilege it is to have the newest Garage Batch sent to you before the actual release date. Looks like an incredible tool.

[kiwifruitpoo]

This looks absolutely perfect for me. It’s a shame it’s a limited edition. I’d buy one in an instant.

[SierraKilo]

Another wonderful presentation. Receiving the limited Leatherman is an honor well deserved and earned.

[ukaszborowik]

I really love the fact that this peace got into the right hands, hands of someone who knows the value of this art piece.

[dangle]

Got screwed on the website buying one. Love it.

[tommysuswick]

I love that you got one over some of the US YouTubers who constantly crap on Leatherman. Love the toolset!

[Datsyukiandeke]

This is the perfect toolset for me. Something I've always wanted. All the tools of the Wave that I love, done better, and adds an awl.

[BusySnoozing]

Probably the first Leatherman that I truly love the look of. Aesthetic and functional, usually their tools are just the latter to me! It's a shame they are sold out, I hope they are able to create a similar production model.

[BigORider]

Just lost my issued leatherman wave last week😢 I’ve had that through two deployments and over 10 years of use. I always loved leatherman especially since they’re from my hometown.

[frankiesalmon]

This has all the features I wanted in my P2 which I carry daily for work. Fingers crossed they put all these features in the upcoming model, especially the non serrated main blade, full size file and spring loaded pliers)

[paulamcclure]

Thank you for the well-done reveal and assessment of the Limited-Edition Leatherman Garage #5, Jon.

What a smart looking Leatherman... with wonderful lines, details, and features!

Thank you also for the heads-up on the future release of the Leatherman ARC (with potentially some similar features to the Garage #5)... really excited about the elevated direction Leatherman is taking with their multi-tools. 👏
