Where do I get it replaced

It came with the ratchet!?

Ty for viewing the video and the comment!

Thank u for the headsup on the mod!

I agree.. More options would definitely help.

Never realized how much background noise was being picked up by the mic. The kids were watching the TV in the other room. I did purchase a new mic recently so hopefully I can give it a go soon. Thanks for watching.

😂

Hi there. I still use it everyday. I have grown to like it even more than I thought it would. The blade shape, small footprint and lightweight materials makes it a no Brainer. I am aware of users who have had the omega springs break but I have not had that problem. Having said that when I need to do heavy duty tasks I use my tools in the garage. Moreover I do not fidget with the knife very often. Thank you for watching the video!

@@dadapprovedreviews466 thank u so much for ur reply man great video by the way

Obsessive fidgeting is what breaks the Omega springs. I obsessively fidget with my knives, so I have no doubt I'd go through plenty of Omega springs.

@@eugenevictortooms4174 yea I sold all of my benchmades I just got into other company's that are alot better

Yep

@@frankdaniels1763 - Yep. Lol 😆 🤣 😂

That it does. 3 main differences with the rx. 1) the serrated blade for the rx 2) the red color for the rx. I prefer the look of the cx and the non serrated blade. However I also understand that the serrated blade is much more useful especially when trying to cut the seat belt etc. I use the skeletool cx as an edc. Whereas I view the rx as something that I would keep primarily in the car. Thank you for the comment!!

Good point. Awesome company. It would be great if all companies had a veteran's discount.

Much appreciated!

Gonna have to give it a try. Thank u for sharing your concerns.

Good thing you returned it. Some people don't go through the trouble of returning it only to be bothered by it everytime they pick it up and use it. If you pay that much for it, you want to make sure that it works. I am surprised a little that it was not in good working order or that the fit and finish was not up to par. Hopefully the next one will be dialed in. Let me know what you think of it after you put some use to it. On my end, it has proven itself to be quite useful on q number of occasions. Good luck!

@@dadapprovedreviews466 got the 2nd 1 . Now only 1 screw is off center . Still kinda pissed. For 2 hundred. They need to fix that sht Pronto . Judging. By reviews on amazon its a common problem to . 😣 Gna keep it i suppose. 8/.I don't want to have to order an send back a million times sht is annoying. Other than that it is a life changer . Fix your shit @leatherman!!!! I left opportunity in my review if they send the correct as it should be my review goes to 5 stars. For now its 3 stars. 10 star tool. 3 star assembly process😩

​@@dadapprovedreviews466 NOW i own the torx bits and can customize and fix all my shit. I am a grand Master now. I have reverse engineerd them all. The surge platform is easiest the mod. The charge platform is prety difficult to mod. 8->>>

I would get the tool first, see how it fits in your rotation, and then get the glassbreaker tip later on if you still need or want it. What you stated makes sense but frankly I don't know how effective the plier head would be without having tried it. When I was doing research I compared the CX to the Rx and noticed the blade steel was different, along with a serrated blade and the glassbreaker tip that comes with the Rx. I went with the CX and I am happy that I did but I also splurged and got the tip. I have a few other leatherman tools and I knew that the accessories are compatible along the leatherman tool line so I justified the purchase. But if you are a gear head like me I know that there are several items on your wishlist. Get the skeletool first and u can always add later as needed. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the skeletool as much as I do!

A bigger issue is that cars use increasingly more lamination, even on sides, and breakers don't work on them, you need to create an entry point and than saw, like with the vitorinox rescue tool. Ok to have, have it on some flashlights as it can be a "tactical" gimmick there, but would not purchase a tool for that unless it has other options specific for rescue.

Yep. A large portion of them do not work and that is a huge problem when you have a guaranteed solution at the other end of the tool. It will likely cost you valuable time during an emergency that need not have been lost because you have a KNIFE! That's not to say that none of them work, and the ones that do are actually a faster and safer cut than a knife, but the chances that it's just a non-functional gimmick feature is probably 98%. I've even seen exclusive SBC tools that do not work. A serrated knife is your best bet. To sell a non-functional life-saving tool is pretty low on the list of unethical behavior.

@@casek6930 Good seat belt cutter's gotta have two blades. Best one I seen AND TESTED (it works): the one on the Walter E. R. K. knive

I purchased the regular charge tti. Although it does not show in the photo on leatherman's website, it comes with a sheath and also a partial bit kit that fits inside the nylon sheath. The Charge Plus TTI partial bit kit comes with Square Drive #1 & #2, Eyeglass Screwdriver, Hex 5/32 & 9/64", Hex 1/8" & 7/64", Hex 3/32" & 5/64", Hex 1/16" & .050", Phillips #1-2 & 3/16" Screwdriver, Screwdriver 1/8" & Torx #15. If you get the set, it comes with the new ratchet bit driver extender and also additional bits for the bit kit and the wire cutter replacement kit. I hope this info helps.

@@dadapprovedreviews466 thank you kind sir. i'm getting it now. cheers...

Absolutely. I carry it far more often than I thought I would. The size and weight balance to overall utility is hard to beat.

That sounds like a great duo for camping trips. With various functions available by combining the two tools you have quite the coverage for your needs. Camper looks like a solid tool especially with the saw and the awl.

Oh wow. Sounds like you have a great set up. I have to say that I am really happy with the skeletool even to this day. Thank you for the comment. After u use it for some time I am curious to hear your thoughts about it. Take care!

Looked up the item you mentioned. Looks like it will get the job done and available at a competitive price point. Ty for the comment!

I have found that I EDC the smaller, lighter, and pocketable leatherman skeletool much more often. Simply out of convenience.. The pocket clip on the skeletool makes it so easy to slip in and out of the pocket. Having said that, when I do work around the house, I have the TTI with me. Recently I had to swap out the doorbell transformer for my home located in the attic because the original one was not strong enough for the nest hello video doorbell. I also swapped out our doorbell chime box. This means very basic electrical work and screwing and unscrewing things. Because I was in the attic I did not want to go back down to grab my Klein tools for the basic electrical work. I pulled out the TTi and used it instead. I was pleasantly surprised by how great it worked at stripping the wires and I was able to use it for the installation. The exchangeable bits helped as well. The blade was great at slicing and cutting. Note: I dont work in a trade. If I did I would definitely edc either this, the charge or charge plus, or likely the heavy duty surge. I use tools because I enjoy renovations and projects around the home. When I am painting or working with drywall mud I try not to pull out the TTi because I dont want to sit there and have to clean everything off. I can also see ppl keeping this in their car glove compartment or in their go bag. Although it is a little bit on the pricier end to just stash it as an emergency tool. Lastly, ppl who enjoy the outdoor and camp and hike. I can foresee ppl putting it to good use. I hope this info helps. Ty for watching and the question.

I have to admit. I like it even more now that I have had it for some time.

Agreed. I think the biggest benefit is that it is so easy to pocket carry.

I have one one the way. Should get it tomorrow. Can't wait! I only wish it had a file.

First off thanks for watching the video and leaving this comment. Welcome to the never ending addiction/hobby/researching of knives. I like how you started with the blur and then got the griptillian. Kershaw knives offer a lot of value for their price point and the blur is a pretty good knife. The benchmade griptillian is also an extremely popular knife and for very good reasons. The size, weight, and the axis lock make it a very good all around knife. The strike against benchmade knives is that ppl complain about the price point. Having said that, the griptillian is at a good price point and not on the extremely expensive side of the benchmade lineup. I bring the summaries of both the blur and the grip up because they offer a good amount of value. Essentially, you don't have regret because you didn't have to fork over a ton of money for quality knives. With the ZT titanium, I think there is an expectation that because it costs at least twice as much as the grip or several times more than the blur, there is a direct relationship to the satisfaction you would have with the ZT. Meaning you would like the ZT titanium 3x more than the grip or 5x more than the blur. Dont get me wrong, the ZT is a great knife but you have to know what you are getting. It is a sturdy and reliable knife made with high quality materials. Like you noted, it has a liner lock and so you would have to close the knife with both hands. The flipper opens with a thwack but if you are holding the knife in the wrong place, you would restrict the opening of the blade. Once you get accustomed to the ZT, then you figure out where to position your hand when manipulating the knife. Judging by your enjoyment of the griptillian and the axis lock it appears that you appreciate the fidget factor of a good knife. The axis lock excels with the fidget factor. The ZT on the other hand is not a fidget type knife. When it opens, it opens with purpose and let's you know it is GO time. When I saw knife reviews of the ZT I immediately knew I wanted to add it to my collection because of the ZT build, warranty, and premium materials and blade stock. Having said that, I find that I dont carry it often. I think because it is over the 200 dollar mark and made of premium materials, I dont want to "ruin" it. Not that I really could because ZT's are built like a tank. But if I did something to it or if I lost it, that would bother me so I actually find that I do not carry it around that often. The same with my carbon fiber benchmade osborne. It is a nice knife, but the carbon fiber osborne and the ZT are more of a gentleman's knife. I tend to carry it on days that I know I won't be doing anything that would potentially require hard knife use. Also, like you, I do enjoy the fidget factor of a knife and I would not say that the ZT titanium ranks high with that respect. Do i like the knife? Yes. I do like the knife and I do not regret my purchase. However, if you are looking for a knife to add into your edc collection I would highly recommend that you visit your local retailer and get your hands on one first. Interestingly enough, I find that I carry the benchmade bugout or the leatherman skeletool quite often. The reason being, I dont feel guilty about putting them to good use and they rank high in pocketability. When I need a beefier knife I grab the spyderco paramilitary 2 or my benchmade super freek with m4 steel. If I need to do something that I have to put a knife through rough use then I grab one of my cheaper knives. I dont want to dissuade you from getting the ZT or think that I dont like the knife. You cannot go wrong with a ZT. However, consider how it will fit into your knife collection. Like you, I have my eyes on some specific knives but I haven't made the plunge as of yet. Lastly, you may want to check out the kershaw link. It does not have titanium but it does feature the same steel 20cv and is priced around 80 dollars and has the liner lock. Essentially a competitively priced kershaw version of the ZT knife. Being that ZT is Kershaw's premium brand, there is an obvious overlap between the companies. I hope this info helps!

@@dadapprovedreviews466 First off thank you for the thoughtful and thorough response, it’s much appreciated! You really hit the nail on the head in regard to the “fidget factor”... I’ve had my Blur for nearly 3 years now and it’s been an absolute delight in every way... Factor in the extremely reasonable price tag as well as the fact that it’s made in the USA, the value is incredible in my opinion... Although I may be a novice in the knife world, I really can’t speak highly enough about the Blur and the experience I’ve had with it thus far... That being said it really is about the experience for me... I am a baker and I use my knives day in and day out hence my desire for efficiency and practicality... I also love the fidget factor because even when I’m not using my knife I constantly have it out opening and closing it so that’s why I really fell in love with the Grip... On that note what I can see distinguishing between the two knives is despite my absolute love for the AXIS mechanism I can definitely say that I prefer the blade profile of the Blur. I love Ken Onion’s designs, i.e. the recurve, and frankly I feel as though the blade itself seems sharper, and although thinner than the Grip blade, still just as rigid and durable... I wish I could get the AXIS mechanism with a Kershaw or Onion blade because that would be a dream for me! All in all you definitely gave me a lot of food for thought and I am actually going to order the Link per your suggestion... In regard to the Zero Tolerance, Hinderer etc. I definitely think I’m going to wait before investing in that high end of a knife, it’s just not practical for me at the moment but it’s definitely something I’ll have on the back burner for when the time is right futuristically. Thanks again for the reply, I love knife talk and not many people in my inner circle appreciate it as much as I do lol.

Leatherman will always be better than sog in Terms of multi tools. Leatherman has superior quality to that of sog. I've returned numerous sogs due to poor quality and craftsmanship. Leatherman and victorinox are the only tools I have ever had where I never had to return or replace anything.

I have to admit, I did do some research into sog tools and I do like some of the items in their lineup. I will have to give them a try one day. Having said that, I am more curious to get my hands on a victorinox swisstool or comparable multi tool.

Haha, sog ain’t got nothing on leatherman... the plier heads alone on the high end leathermans are on par with knipex.. sog is a cheap Chinese alternative, but only cheap in materials as they are very pricey.. they have some gimmicks, and that’s about it

Leatherman makes the best plier-based multitools. SOGs are toys.

Congrats! I have had this knife for a few months now, and I have to say that i have zero regrets with my purchase. It is an impressive knife. Also, you picked it up right in time because from my understanding the super freek has been discontinued and it is getting harder and harder to come by retailers who still have them in stock. Let's hope the rumors are not true.
