What's your favourite leatherman?
the sidekick because of price, and it's still a good leatherman
I picked this up at a flea market for $5. Haven't had the chance to use it yet but I like the idea of being able to clamp stuff and use both hands for something.
the OHT looks pretty cool.
Wave
wave, but I heard they changed em so the new ones are crap

I bought a wave a few months ago. I manage a bar so having all the tools on me to fix shit is pretty handy. The blade stays sharp and the kitchen guys hone it once a week so its always ready to go. I'm pretty happy with it so far, but I hear the pliers crap out eventually though I never use it for heavy duty work more than tightening keg couplers and fixing an odd hinge or something.

They say that about literally everything.
>yea they used to be good but the new ones suck, theyre from china now
Surge.
Wave is good too i just like the extra beef and the t-shank blade holder
>>708240
Because it's true of literally everything.

My favorite Leatherman is the Rev I got around Christmas time for ten bucks. Can't beat it. I don't imagine I need much else and it has been useful.

Everyone is getting ching chonged. /diy/ buys some parts from china because >1 dollar shipping included and the results are amazing
>>708143
surge is the only good answer

Charge Tti by FAR

ironically this guy was one of the straight members of the village people. he was a toll collector before joining and a motorcycle buff.

EDC a Wave and a Style (which is pretty much the same as a Swiss Army Knife Classic with a better blade/tweezers but no toothpick).

I'm a fan of the Wave. I've also got a Wingman, because I couldn't find my Wave, and was doing a bunch of stuff around the house. The Wingman proved itself to be pretty darn good for the money before I managed to find my Wave again. I'd probably miss the saw if I was on an /out/ing with the Wingman, though.

Get this madman out of here
Gerber Multi-plier
Because OTF is fun even though the other bits are slightly more difficult to get out

$90 extra for a bit of titanium and a gut hook? (compared to wave)
not worth it
>>711523
And less weight and better knife, yes worth it
Although it needs even more titanium imo.
>>711538
0.3 oz
not noticeable in the slightest. the knife is slightly better but 420 HC is still very good steel, most people wouldn't notice the difference
but if you have money to burn, why not
>>711538
Not him but I'm mixed on the Charge.
>only 0.1 oz or 9g lighter than the Wave, and I bet most of that comes from the material removed for the cutting hook/ plier crimpers
>much better blade steel is a plus
>cutting hook is handy but considering it already has two knives and a pair of scissors . . . .
>crimpers remove chunk out of pliers and makes the tips weaker
>~50% more expensive

I jumped on the charge tti because the price difference is not that big.
There's a store in amazon with free international shipping that sells them for a good price.
To me, it'd just hurt to spend a lot on a wave when I could get a charge for a little more (and not do it)
>>708143
wave
no fucking question

>free international shipping
Are you not from the US? I heard the Wave is proportionally more expensive to get shipped out and thus I can see why you'd go for the Charge instead.

Yes senpai, I'm a eurofag.
I also paid for it with part of my first monthly pay of my first job, so I was a happy (and trigger-happy) nigger back then.
