    Good found. Bought one a couple years ago. The blade is not as good as Learthman's. I love the pliers and screwdrivers.

  • macrocephalic on 20/05/2020 - 09:14

    Finally another multitool maker is doing a bit driver. Leatherman were doing bit drivers for ages, but a lot of their newer top line tools don't have the bit driver anymore. For me, the tool needs a blade, pliers, file, and a bit driver (or two) - everything else is just wasting space.

    • 4wd on 20/05/2020 - 11:01

      Gerber had a multitool with a bit driver since the mid 90's, (not integrated like this though).

      The original multitool with a one handed slide out action has an optional adaptor, 6 bits, and came with pouch that stored everything.

      Still got mine, the handles of the pliers are lethal for trapping the skin on the palm of your hand.

      The next model lost the one handed action and the ability to use bits.

  • dainese on 20/05/2020 - 09:19

    I have the more basic model and quite like it. Operationally its great, build quality is great, there is some minor minor tolerance differences so the tool doesn't snap perfectly straight. really not important. And blade seems to have blunted quite early and it hasn't had a hard life.

    A good alternative to the leatherman

      Note the big red "CLEARANCE" label at the top of the product page. That means they're clearing out whatever leftover stock they have, which in turn means there won't be much stock around. It is not a "bullshit loss leader sale".

    Serious question - where are people using tools like this? Is it mainly campers, fishers, etc or are you using it generally around the house? I have something similar but never really find a use for it

    • Jason88 on 20/05/2020 - 10:31

      Yes, camping etc. Also EDC ("Every Day Carry") enthusiasts.

      Reddit EDC Group:

      https://www.reddit.com/r/EDC/

      I might also add, that due to Australian laws concerning carrying pocket knives in public (which vary from State to State), here in Queensland it is much easier to have a 'reasonable excuse' for carrying one of these everyday since it has so many different functions.

      • too_much_boost on 20/05/2020 - 10:52

        THanks. There are certainly some interesting hobbies out there i wasn't aware of

            @Spending2Much: Not used a corkscrew in years. Australia's move to screw top years ago was a smart one.

          Opening boxes, working on my bike, working on my computer, randomly fixing things around the house.

      travelling and around the house for me.

      have had a SOG powerlock (one of the earliest editions) with me for about 17 years. it comes with me whenever i travel, since i'm obviously not going to bring my toolbox with me.

      at home, it sits next to my laptop and i use it for opening parcels, those awful clamshell packaging certain things come in, snapping cable ties, filing a rough fingernail and whenever i need scissors (it's still so sharp after that many years)

      sometimes take it with me on longer drives in the car.

      Not sure but according to Gerber's website it has a Limited lifetime warranty, so I am assuming it's good quality like most Gerber products.

          lol SCA multitools. i've bought those too (i mean, wasted loyalty credit on it) because it was soooo cheap. then you start to use it and you realise why. cheap tools are frustrating and can be dangerous to use.

    Still have my leatherman wave (1 replacement 3 years ago under lifetime warranty) from 1999! Can't fault it for all it's shortcomings.

    Have a Gerber Dime (their cheap keyring sized one) from 3 years ago, and it's not lasted/built anything like a leatherman. Maybe their high end stuff uses better metal? By comparison, bought the Mrs a leatherman keychain sized one for emergencies and that's still in great shape and has had a bit of use.

    • 4wd on 20/05/2020 - 11:13

      Used to have a Leatherman Micra, which I lost on a bus in Peru, which was great, fits in your coin pocket.

      Replaced it with a Gerber Shortcut, the knife blade spring broke after a couple of years.

      So ended up buying another second-hand Micra on eBay about 8 years ago, still going strong.

    • tdw on 20/05/2020 - 12:38

      i bought a Dime as well for the "package opener." it was disappointing and now gathers dust on the corner of my desk. i've never really been impressed by Gerber's knives or multitools

    • seamonkey on 20/05/2020 - 13:31

      5 the 30 total parts that typically make up their multitool are sourced internationally, according to the filings from a 2006 lawsuit that was brought against them, accusing Leatherman of false advertising “made in the USA” messaging. These parts include:

      Files – Europe
      Corkscrews – Europe
      Plier jaws – Mexico
      Two small fastening components – Unknown

      • R4 on 20/05/2020 - 14:34

        Fair enough but at least it's not 100% made in China like Gerber.

        It's very difficult to not buy Chinese-made but I'm giving it a red hot crack - despite the higher costs. For instance, I bought a garden tool at Bunnings on the weekend. I could have bought the $20 Chinese-made one but I opted for the $50 one made in Australia.

    So i just picked up one at bunnings, they were a bit hesitant as it was 'clearance' but i got one. Is this supposed to come with bits?

    Just my two cents, the quality of this is quite good although in my opinion a leatherman is far ahead in quality and feel. I feel like this was made with looks in mind. It's also a bit wierd that it doesnt close like most multitools.
