It all started with a gifted MUT… and here we are!

About six months ago, a good friend from the explosives department at the mining company I work for gave me a Leatherman MUT. That was my first Leatherman and how I discovered the brand. Well, one thing led to another!

Here’s my collection, from left to right:

Surge: My go to for home repairs, DIY, electromechanical projects, and 3D printing. The bit kit and ratchet driver make it even more useful.

ARC: This one is a backup for another ARC I use as my daily work EDC at the mine. That one’s currently at the mining site.

Super Tool 300: Lives in my car, just in case.

MUT: The one that started it all! I don’t really have much practical use for it since it’s designed for more specific tasks, so it’ll probably remain a collector’s piece. Still, it has a special place as my first Leatherman and a gift.

Surge: A gift for my dad. Hopefully, he’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine

I’m not really looking to collect multitools just to keep them sitting in a drawer. I want each one to have a purpose and actually get used. The MUT might be the exception.

What was your first Leatherman?

Leatherman arc tools coming out in pocket

Post image
35 Upvotes

New to the leatherman arc, I keep it right hand carry in my front pocket. I slide the arc to the back most area of the front pocket and keep my wallet and other things also in my right front pocket. Going in to grab my wallet one of the tools (I think it was the scissors) was loose from the multi tool and stabbed right into my pinky 's nailbed. Extremely painful! I came from a charge so I never had that issue. I was looking to the forums and saw that if I tighten the screws it could lock up the arc and prevent it from opening. Is this a usual issue or will I just have to adjust the screws with loctite? Which screws should I be tightening? I don't mind slow rolling the tools out the side as long as I can do it with one hand.

Lost and Found

I thought I had lost my silver Leatherman ARC, so I ended up buying the Talos version to replace it. Fast forward a few weeks, I was cleaning out my room and came across an old EDC backpack. Sure enough, there was my silver ARC sitting inside the whole time! 😂
Now that I have both, I’ve decided to make the Talos my everyday carry and keep the silver ARC for tasks around the house. Guess losing it temporarily worked out in the end! 🔥

Was fortunate enough to score this due to its owner travelling and forgot they were carrying it, handed it to my partner who used to work at the airport and said to keep it.

Still in excellent condition, awesome little multi tool

3 Rustles - Sheath retention different on each.

5 Upvotes

This isn't a huge deal, but I do think it's illustrative of some of the frustration I've seen around here. Leatherman clearanced out the Rustle on their website and Amazon, probably for maybe just under the price that it should have sold for. I happen to like this blade shape, liked the colors, do a lot of camping and cooking, and so I bought one of each color.

As the knives came over the span of a few days, I noticed that the sheaths are all pressed with a different level of retention. The black sheath, the first one I received, is almost TOO tight, which I didn't really think about bc it should loosen a bit over time. The orange sheath, however, arrived and is almost too loose - the knife can shake around and make clack-clack-clack noises, and finally, the blue-green sheath might be the goldilocks version - just right, no movement when stored and not too much pressure to remove.

The original MSRP of this knife is higher than the Arc, and yet they couldn't even get the sheath to a consistent spec.

These things are awesome for $120. I'd be very annoyed at nearly $300.

In addition to the sheaths, the "Alpine" knife arrived with glue all over it because the knife tray in the box had peeled apart and the knife had to be physically pried out of LM's premium packaging. I also got a clearance Trac, the button on the sheath had rubbed it's finish bare onto the scale of the knife in transit/before opening.

I really like Leatherman as a company and I guess my whining is just disappointment that these things cost so much and yet so much inconsistency gets by the QA/QC process.

Leatherman skeletool pin keeps falling out

Post image
3 Upvotes

I’ve had this skeletool for a few years now and it’s my EDC. My only issue is that the pin circled in red keeps backing itself out to the point it has completely fallen out. I tried to tap it back in but it I never seems to be the trick.

Anybody else deal with this issue or know of a good solution?

Belt clip broke and blade tip broke

As title says, the belt clip broke and the blade tip also broke off on my Leatherman sidekick. Would this be covered under the warranty?

For camping/climbing

I do a bunch of rock climbing in Colorado and I probably camp 3 months out of the year. I’ve gotten into fly fishing as well so I spend alot of time in the river. I care alot about stuff being light weight and practical. What do yall think is the best model for me?

My first Leatherman. Is it normal for these pieces to rotate when I apply pressure with my fingers on both sides?

Snapped blade tip on Wingman - warranty-able?

• Upvotes

Snapped the tip off my Wingman blade. The kind of thing that might happen if one were to drop their tool off a ladder.

Is that warranty-able? Or SOL-able.


r/Leatherman • • 21h ago

Ummm, can someone explain why the price is so high on Amazon!??
