I run a lawn and landscape business and this little tool has saved the day so many times doing field repairs on mowers, string trimmers and even cutting tree roots. Would never be without one.

I waited 20 years to get the right Leatherman and settled with the wave P4. I credit it to saving my right foot I had a long pinch it between a root base and couldn't get it out and use the saw to cut the back of the heel of my boot off and with some ingenuity I stomped the wedge in there was able to yank my foot out 3 hours later and crawl to the truck I've since been able to get feeling back in my foot but thank God I had the Leatherman with me! Thank you for all the great content Mr Wadsworth and keep up the good work!

For me here in Chile there is no AAA to come help you on the side of the road. So for me these tools are life savers for sure. I am a Gerber fan but Leathermans are good too. Mine stays in its pouch on my belt all the time. Jim in Chile.

As a 42 years of experience electrician I have witnessed and heard of many near misses, lost times and fatalities having to do with the behavior of not worki safely around electricity. Even though it is a commonly shrugged off behavior, I highly recommend, test before you touch.

I snapped the jaws on my Skeletool and they fixed it for me. Top notch company that honors their warranty.

I have been carrying the same Leatherman Wave for over 20 years and it is my third hand! Very handy tool!

I was always attracted to leatherman multitools and have bought many over the years. Supertools, waves, charges, surges, rebars, I tried them all. Always found something I did not like about each one and ended up selling each of them after a couple weeks of carrying them. I determined multitools werent for me.

Then Leatherman introduced the free series and it appeared to solve most of the problems I had with previous leathermans. Mainly being it was one hand open, it didnt have those stupid bit holders I despise, and had as close to an ideal tool set as I could ask for. So I bought one, a P2, because I thought being lighter than the P4, I would like it more. Carried it two weeks and sold it. I hated the partially serrated blade and not having a saw.

Fast forward a year or more after I swore off multitools for the 83rd time in my life and I got the itch for a leatherman again. I made an impulse buy for a P4.

Immediately I knew I found what I had been looking for. Its been by my side daily for 6 months or more now. By far the longest I have ever carried a multitool of any kind. Its almost perfect for my uses. The only thing I would trade is a full size file instead of the scissors and I want a true awl. Not the half awl, half screwdriver thing they put in it. I will probably end up grinding it into an actual awl myself.

I bought my first leatherman at a swap and shop for $3. Mint condition with the leather sheath and all. I use it practically everyday!

I've had mine Free P4 for 2 weeks and I dont leave the home without it. Excellent tool and the one handed action is fantastic! Very fidgety too. My Benchmade folding knife is being neglected now haha 😅.

I got my first leatherman as a christmas gift last year. My mom bought one for my dad and one for me. It is the Leatherman Charge and it is the best multitool I've ever had.

I bought myself a FREE T4 last year as a b-day gift for myself. I absolutely love the FREE line. They are super functional and very practical. A great evolution for Leatherman. I need to pickup the P4 to replace my old Wave.

When I worked for United van lines moving peoples belongings. The Leatherman tool came in handy many times. As a heavy duty mechanic with lots of expensive tools at hand. The Leatherman tool is still quite handy at least once a day

I love u guys I am 30 and it just brings me joy to learn now things that feed my family

[mattthomas]

I wholeheartedly agree! I never go anywhere: not to church, to work, to the temple, the grocery store, or walking the dog, without one of these on my hip.
My brother in law makes fun of me incessantly, but I’ve found a use for it in every one of these situations.

I can so relate to this video. The first time I ever saw a multitool was back in 1987 while in college where my instructor, John Bambach, whiped his multitool out to address a problem that we were having with a piece of teleproduction equipment. I WAS HOOKED. I soon had my own and I have carried a multitool in my pocket daily ever since. I've broken a few and just outright replaced a few. Mine old ones don't just go into a drawer. They go into the glove box of my vehicles, the compartment of my tractor, a pocket of my backpack.

Occasionally, I'll use mine to do something and I'll catch a scout looking on with that glimmer of amazement in his eye, and if he has earned his totin' chip (knife safety card) and his parents approve, I'll bestow a well used multitool on him to use now, and for a lifetime.

Ive probably watched this video ten times. I love the channel and I so envy gentleman and ladies that have such a god given gift of your creativity. Thank you so much for sharing and take care.

My first Leatherman I got when I was maybe 8 or so. It was a Christmas gift from my uncle and that morning being a dumb kid the first thing I do with it was open up all the tools on and immediately poke myself on the saw, jerk my hand away, and slice open my thumb on one of the knives. They have been one of my most favorite tools ever since.

I got my first Leatherman in the 90’s and loved it. Never went anywhere without it. I’m on my third Leatherman now, a Supertool 200 and it is the still the first thing I grab if I have something that needs a tweak or a pry that doesn’t need a special tool. I love this tool.
