Thanks for this, I chose the p2 over the p4 after watching this video. I kept looking at various media around both multitools and I couldn’t decide but the fact that you’re a knife guy with a premium collection made the decision for me.
I also like the P2 for edc. I have a bunch of locking knives, multi-tools, and victorinox knives. I prefer the P2 to all my other leathermen, swisstools and so on.
I really enjoy your videos and I’m not knocking your opinion, but what can scissors cut that a knife can’t?? I often want to replace the scissors on my multi-tools with a more valuable tool. Please convince me why scissors are a necessary multi-tool accessory.
It's mostly a safety thing that's underrated unless you have medical training or have had a bad accident (they happen don't act invincible) a knife can do most jobs scissors can but not as safely. I understand wanting to switch out tools though it would be awesome if leatherman made a modular customizable tool.
A knife can do anything scissors can in a multi tool, even trim fingernails and cut coupons, and safely. I usually want to swap out the scissors, package opener, awl for some other more useful tools, or really just drop them to reduce weight in the pocket. An awl is great for my dedicated woods multitool, but I don’t need an awl on my edc multi tool. A durable wood/metal file is one of my most used tools in a multi tool, especially when I don’t have a flush end cutter for zip ties.
While I like the p2 I prefer the Charge as I do use the saw often. I do have the Charge which is stiffer to open to access the plier with one hand but can be done. I can’t do that with the Surge however the interchangeable saw/file and the larger scissor make it better tool when on the job. The Charge is the one I carry most of the time.
I really want to love the Free P2 . I'm currently running a wingman . And the parts that I love about the wingman are the price point and the spring assisted pliers . The free p2 is over priced imo currently @ 175 dollars Canadian compared to the wingman is only around the $100 Canadian mark , the magnets are a problem for anyone who works near metal shavings and the fact that the pliers have no spring assist is a let down . I'll stick with my tried and true wingman thank you .
I’ve carried a Victorinox Fieldmaster daily for over half a year, and I use at least one tools daily. That includes the wood saw. I have never once had problems with a slip joint tool closing on me unintentionally. Same goes for the Case slip joint traditional pocket knives I EDC.
@@UrbanSurvivalist_ That makes sense. I will recommend trying out a Victorinox Spirit MX Clip. It has a great tool set, it’s ergonomic and the construction quality is second to none IMO. Of course, different strokes for different folks and all of that but I do recommend taking a hard look at it to see if it would satisfy your needs
👍👍wow👍👍biggest double thumbs up👍👍excellent presentation👍👍explanation very sharp, short and straightforward to the point.👍👍full with brilliant knowledge of multi tool👍👍I salutes to you👍👍thanks for your useful tips and new👍👍💯👍👍
Smaller form factor, lighter and most people never use serrated knife and a wood saw. I mean, it's still bigger than Victorinox Spirit with less tools, P4 seems too bulky for what it actually is.

This channel is so detailed and easy to follow. My new favorite review channel
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying my channel!
P4...all day every day. The fully serrated blade is so useful!
If P4 was available at my store I probably would bought for the blade configuration but I enjoy the size of the P2
Your content is great man!
Thank you!
Underrated youtube channel
Pretty precise and to the point compared to other youtube channels

Can you trim your nails with a knife?

As Union worker; Stage Hand, Carpenter, High Rigger. My choice in commercial use, LEATHERMAN-“SURGE”_&_LEATHERMAN-“CRUNCH.”

Guy, I work in a machine shop, I have zero issues with the magnet, I’m not just saying that.
Did you loosen up the pivots for the knife and scissors? Mine are very stiff and I noticed the knife hole is sharp...
No, but they may loosen as you actually use the tools!
Have you carried any of the Victorinox multi tools?
I haven't tried any of the plier based Victorinoxs. I respect traditional SAKs, but I don't really like to carry them due to the non-locking tools.
I’ve carried a Victorinox Fieldmaster daily for over half a year, and I use at least one tools daily. That includes the wood saw. I have never once had problems with a slip joint tool closing on me unintentionally. Same goes for the Case slip joint traditional pocket knives I EDC.
Looks like the pry/chisel/package opener tool on this was inspired by the Vic Swisstool/Spirit.

Why p2 over p4 ?
I don't need a saw
Smaller form factor, lighter and most people never use serrated knife and a wood saw. I mean, it's still bigger than Victorinox Spirit with less tools, P4 seems too bulky for what it actually is.
