- This is the best engineering I have seen out of Leatherman in a very long time. The Bond is an absolute winner, in more ways than one.

Unfortunately, it looks like the driver bit doesn't work with the free p4... :( would have been great
It truly is a breath of fresh air to hear someone who knows what they’re talking about review these tools. Been a fan of this channel right from the beginning. Keep up the great work!
That’s very kind of you, I appreciate that very much.
Thank you for the „our friends“ intro. Greetings from Switzerland!
Absolutely! I’m just glad Leatherman is finally addressing the needs of Europeans.
@@txtoolcrib Switzerland is easy on Multitools, but Germany, France etc. is super strict.
@@txtoolcrib you haven't been answering my texts lately
Did you block me
No.

Well in Germany the Rebar is also perfectly legal to carry, as it requires two hands to open the knife.
My name is Bond. Leatherman Bond.

Couldn't resist.
When my dad died, I inherited his original PST. I've always wanted to carry it, but never could bring myself to, due to it being original and sentimental value. I'm super excited for this, and will be getting mine tomorrow, and I'm really happy to see it's so nicea
Noone gives a shit
Your reviews are so honest and real. Not infomercialish. So easy to listen to. Well done sir.
I appreciate that. I try to always be as forthright as possible.
This is awesome! I loved my pst and this is definitely a updated version. So glad to see Leatherman putting out some more affordable models. Great review 👍
Your reviews are hands down the best on TH-cam to better understand tools before purchasing thanks a lot I appreciate your honesty
You’re very welcome my friend!
Without question, they really are
Thank you guys very much, I appreciate the compliment.
@@Downhaven Ditto.
Yes, they’re very good. Explaining the reasoning the way you do is invaluable.
Thank you for another outstanding deep dive into this tool. The details, and comparisons are always top notch, and if I was in the market, this would have sold me. I can’t believe Leatherman hasn’t made you an offer for either a salesman or design lead yet! Thanks for the great insight, and we’ll definitely “see you in the next one”.
Thank you, on all accounts. Always appreciate everyone taking time out of their day to watch.
Thanks for the review. I’m in the U.K. and am really happy that Leatherman has produced a quality multitool, for a reasonable price that addresses laws that prevent us carrying tools with locking blades. I have a Bond on order and look forward to carrying and using it.
I hope the Curl proves to be just as good, or better.
Sorry you guys over the pond has to deal with those knife laws. I was from Germany and the knife laws are fucking insane
Another great review Ben! Thank you for always putting out quality content!!
Thank you, always glad you guys take the time to watch.
Really good video. The Bond has just become available in the UK and appears to be selling well in the online stores. I have managed to purchase one and I am impressed by the light weight and sound design. It is also good that we can legally carry it in the UK without having to provide 'Good Reason' to the Police.
Careful! My understanding is that it is not legal. It might not have a locking blade but you have to fold back the handles to close the knife - the blade is locked open when the handles are closed and it takes 2 steps to close the knife and this, sadly, makes it illegal in the UK and Ireland. If the blade was on the outside when the handles are closed like it is on the Wave then it would be ok.
I'm very happy with my bond. I know about the blade "issue" and I just make sure I don't cut my hand like any other knife/tool. This is perfect for anyone wanting a PST but one built today that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Great tool, great price and does what it should do with out carrying a tool box in your pocket.
Thank you for everything
As always i come to your channel every time I’m going to get something new to add to my EDC.
This was my first leatherman and I’m really happy with it and it’s been really useful on my job
I’m an BEYOND ecstatic by this review! This is my next knife! Thank you so much for letting us look at it with you!
You’re quite welcome!
Thank you for addressing the one problem I had with the original Leatherman in your review and the main reason I switched to Gerber, the square edge when using the pliers. I am a machine technician and I do use the pliers many times when doing electrical work on most machines. When they wire a machine at the factory they use DIN rail terminal blocks and the wires go into wire ducts with maybe an inch to two inches between them. Maneuvering the wires into the correct block in that tight an area is extremely difficult by hand. With the uncomfortable grip Leatherman had for using the pliers it made the task harder than it needed to be, so I looked for a more comfortable multitool and found it with Gerber. Glad to see that someone at Leatherman woke up and did something about it.
I loved my PST, wore the first one out, got a second. Now I have the Bond and I'm very happy with it. Of course, the ultimate multi-tool would be one that you could tailor and choose yourself which "blades" you want to put in it - modular if you will.
Just got my Bond today, and I'm now watching this video to really understand everything that went into it. Thanks for the informative video!
Hope it was helpful.
@@txtoolcrib definitely was - learned a lot about what makes it such a great tool. Also got a leatherman free T4 that I adore and fits my lifestyle, but judging from your video, the free series isn’t exactly your cup of tea.
Really good to see it side by side with the PST, definitely improved the hotspots on grip. Best thing has to be the price, much easier for me to justify gifting something in this price range. My own PST was given to me by an aunt 20 years ago, suddenly the 25 year guarantee doesn't seem so long :).
I'm sold on this tool, thanks for a great review,
Really nice review. I like the tool as an updated version of my PST. Thank you.
I've bought one and very happy.
Greetings from the UK.
As always, love the videos thanks.
I live in England and own a charge+ but think I'll get one of these for every day.
Thank you for that great review, I know it's been a while but this is still very relevant and i really like how you looked at every details and compared it with similar options you caught very subtle details that in the end really make a difference as they say, the devil is in the details. thanks again ben !
Let's go! I love this new offering from Leatherman, I do wish it came in black though
I wouldn’t be surprised if we see this design in black within a year.
Picked one up, my first Leatherman. Adding it to my EDC. It's real nice.
Boy I sure panicked a bit when I saw this since I just got my black and silver surge, but, now I just feel bad for our friends across the pond after hearing those blade restrictions.
Yeah, those knife laws are crazy. I’m glad Leatherman is finally addressing their needs.
You have a far superior tool with the Surge! Hope it serves you well.
Not all countries in Europe has those blade restrictions. Here in Czech Republic (or Czechia) there are like no restrictions on knife blades. I mean you can carry OTFs, automatic knives, daggers, bowies, or even swords or executioner axes and it is not against the law (as long as you don’t threaten others with them). However, it’s true that some countries have strict blade restrictions. (Some of them even banned carying pepper sprays and tasers, which is beyond my understanding.)
@@txtoolcrib thanks for helping me find exactly what I was looking for!
@@romandobias4167
In Germany the restriction is that the folding knife must require two hands to open, there’s no restriction on the length of the knife blade for folding knives and it’s allowed to lock.
If it doesn’t lock it’s also ok if you can open it with one hand.
The exception are knifes that are specifically designed to be weapons (daggers, bayonets,…), those aren’t allowed in public.
If you have a good reason for carrying the knife (work, sports, traditional knives, filming TH-cam videos etc.) you can also carry stuff which otherwise wouldn’t be legal to carry in public.
If they eliminated the lanyard ring and added the scissors of the pst2.. that was one of my favorite features of that original style design and that alone would make me a buyer for sure. A light, svelte pocket friendly and budget friendly tool that will do a tremendous amount of work.
They should get rid of the useless lanyard ring and can opener and replace them with a saw and scissors.
YESSS been refreshing TH-cam for 2 days for this video 😂
Can’t wait to add this to my collection, Iv had to order the bond from the UK because it isn’t available in Australia yet, I will be adding scissors, wood saw and eyeglass screwdriver to it, this will make for the perfect urban after work edc when I am not sheath carrying my wave + (modded).. love the classic style, always a winner for me, couldn’t agree more with your opinion on the free series Multitool 👌🏽👌🏽
Sorry it took so long.
@@txtoolcrib no need for an apology man, I’m just happy haha
@@jpuop is it easy to add scissors etc.? This would be brilliant with scissors and replaceable hard wire cutters
@@JordanH859 hey mate, yes it’s relatively easy, as long as you’d have the right tool to remove those knurled bolts, you would just need to be sure nothing catches it gets in the way, and that the thickness of the tools go in place just right, mostly trial and error.. a few guys on redit and Instagram have done these mods.. the bond is so light and compact so with a pair of scissors it makes the perfect pocket carry
Nicely done as always 👍 Some great observations here.
Thank you sir, very much appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Sir, your reviews are always thorough and fair. I just your judgement completely. Thank you for sharing your insight, it has saved me from making many poor decisions.
I also enjoy the videos on knot making! Very cooll!
I appreciate that!
This is a fantastically planned tool.
I won't purchase it quite yet, but probably soon.
I know it's not designed for me, but if it had either the clip or a built in locking blade as standard I'd have ordered immediately.
Absolutely fantastic review, thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you, really appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Late to the party but I am still glad about your insight. Just ordered my Bond.
I own around a dozen LMs... the PST and PSTII are still my favorites- even above the Wave and Wave+... my PSTs are still every bit as capable decades later. I actually LIKE opening the tool to access the tools. The bond is a new version to me. Glad they are making the bond.
You nailed all the problems on this multi-tool. I think I'll just stick with my super tool 300. It has all the tools I need
I have a wingman, crunch, micra, pst, and super tool 300, and the 300 is by far my favorite.
@@theoldantleredmyth To me the Victorinox Swiss tools are the best.
Great review Ben!
Classic Look is Back...
Indeed
It's going to me a nice option for us guys and girls here in Europe. I see the basic concept of a PST coming back. Sometimes less is just more. I wonder if this old bit adapter that worked with the PST and the Super Tool will work with the Leatherman Bond. Great review 👍👍
Thank you sir. I hope we see future versions of multi tools that are geared towards the European market. It’s always great to have options.
Another thorough review 👍 I have to add I've been carrying my Free K2 since Christmas and yet to have an issue one with the magnets. However I can see your point with the others in the free line due to the file ect
The K2 and K4 are the FREE tools that I actually like.
Great video!
I have to admit I was skeptical when I saw the leaked images. But looking at it in more detail it makes total sense. I think the knife retention is a huge issue though, they could have fixed it by making it a sheeps foot as well as your proposed solution.
All in all, pretty solid little tool.
Sheepsfoot would have been an excellent alternative!
The leatherman wave plus is the one for me,the tools just fit the lifestyle
And that right there, that is THE most important thing!
Best tool in the range
Thanks for such a thorough review! In his review of the Bond, Jon Gadget experienced the same issue with the point of the knife blade (13:10 in your review, 7:30 in Jon's review). I hope Leatherman will address this promptly.
I saw. I must say I really like his format. He is a very good reviewer.
I said it all along that the magnets would be caked with steel particles in no time in my shop.
I've also said that I can flick open my old broken in fuse if I want to.
It's is my belief that the lower cost of this tool is merely a side effect of a simpler more compact tool designed for people like me who just don't need more than a few basics.
I absolutely agree!
Great review Ben. Thanks 🙏
Yes sir, thanks again for taking the time to watch.
Pretty cool multitool, thanks for the review
Thank you for watching.
I have had two Waves since 2003, and also have the MUT, TTi Charge, and Wingman. My favorite is the new PST Limited Edition that was produced in 2017. It’s light and does everything I need in a compact easy carry tool. The Wave is the best design, if but a bit heavier.
Great for people who live in restricted areas. I love this multitool, my first Leatherman was a Kick with a pocket clip. But for me it's a step back to use a slip joint. Personally, nothing Leatherman has come out with has replaced my Wave, Rebar and Skeletool. Honestly, though, Leatherman has great designers.
Was thinking of getting this for my first proper Leatherman, (I live in the UK) but I ended up going for the Knifeless Rebar instead. This still seems like a great tool though!
Both are great options for your region. I am really impressed with this new Bond though. It is quite a bit better than I imagined it was going to be.
Nice video fella!
I live in the UK and have to deal with these silly knife laws unfortunately. I work as a Paramedic and usually carry a Gerber MP600 Bladeless which is a great tool but just a smidgen big for pocket carry - though it doesn't stop me!
I've picked up a Bond on account of your review to replace it. Now I'm just waiting for the pocket clip to come in stock.
Thanks!
Hola, otro excelente video, es el primero que veo de esta nueva herramienta. Tienes razón, es un producto para Europa, pero se antoja probarla, sigo prefiriendo mi vieja PST, eres el mejor en la revisión de herramientas en Estados Unidos, saludos desde México
Gracias mi amigo. Le agradezco que se haya tomado el tiempo de mirar.
A big advantage of the Bond in the US market is it's affordability for those of us who don't need more expensive multi-tool options. I have an original PST and a Rebar. I keep the Rebar in the glovebox in my car and the PST in my Wife's car. I'll be picking up a bond to replace the PST in my Wife's car. After many many years of good use, I'll be retiring my original PST.
Thanks for the review!
I use several MTs but my 2 main are gerber mp 500 and leather REV. 1. Rev gets portability and knife deployment 2. Gerber gets locking and one hand use for pliers 3.gerber gets the pliers usability because if you stress the pliers to cut and the item doesn’t cut, it just pinches and you can’t reset to open. 4. Gerber for locks 5. Rev gets a point for bigger blade 5. More tools on gerber but by default for being bigger
It reminds me of my leatherman kick. I’ve had the kick in my tackle box for 18 years. These would be great for a fishing tool too.
Hi my name is Stefan and I am French. I purchased a supertool almost 30 years ago and it is still in use and perfect shape. I wanted a couple of years ago to buy a new leatherman and I bought a ....supertool 300 ! I am a fan and a regular user. Looks like the Bond is the proud inheriter of the supertool. I am certainly going to get me one!!!!
I'm sold on this. I wouldn't just be taking it into the woods, I use a multitool and dedicated bike multitool for cycling. You don't see the boys and girls in blue in the woods very often but you do on the roads. I've been using a cheap multitool for decades because it doesnt have a locking blade. The lighter weight is also a plus for cycling and for hiking. A very good review too!!
Not sure if you already know but u can fit three more bits in that bit kit. They snap int the slots on either side of the bit extender. It also has the small hole up top for the eyeglasses bit
I did. Probably should do a video on that to let other, who may not be aware, know.
very good review!
Overall, after about a year of ownership, I'm pretty happy with the Bond.
Very thought out review....as always!
Thank you.
The Phillips needed to be in the middle between the knife and the combo tool (inline). Great job!
That would probably be better, I agree.
"My name is Bond......... Leatherman Bond"
Gotta have a British accent to pull that one off, that’s definitely not me. Lol
🤣👍👌
I still use a PST 2 every day, it’s showing it’s age, this is an excellent replacement!
Hi , thanks for a solid revue on this new tool, as I live in the uk this would be ideal for me , I have a blast model but can't carry it because of the laws here, it is what it is , I'll have to check this new tool out as soon as I see one. As always you tell it like it is, that's why I keep watching, cheers mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
The best to you and yours as well my friend.
This was a great review and @12.55 you identified an extremely important point. A good tool by Leatherman but that design flaw is enough to make it undesirable for my sons' first Leatherman.
This seems like a great new tool. I've been really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it; thanks for always making great videos.
How does the comfort of using the pliers compare to the Wave? It looks like a lot less material to support your hand, but I'm curious there's still enough there to squeeze hard on the pliers without it digging into your palm too much.
When comparing this tool to the Wave, from a comfort of use standpoint, it is really no contest. The Wave wins hands down. The overall design of the Wave is just better in my opinion. But the Bond takes huge strides in increasing the comfort of the user over its counterparts like the Rebar and PST. It is one of the reasons that I am looking forward to seeing the Curl up close.
Thank you for the great review. Repays my waiting. PST knife sticks out its point when given an amount of impulse, but holds its position in gentle shakings in normal use. BOND seems to need some mild mod in order to give the knife a better safety. I'd stick to my REBAR for a while and see if the Leatherman handles this issue.
Unless you fall under those restrictive knife laws, the are better options in the Leatherman lineup.
@@txtoolcrib Minus that single issue, it looks really good. If there wasn't REBAR and if this BOND was selling in Korea, I might have decided to purchase one.
This is why TX Tool Crib is THE best reviewer around!
Thank you sir!
i"ve had the free p2 for about a year now and i love it
I’m glad it works for you. For non tradesmen, I can certainly see the appeal.
I wish leatherman would polish their tools like they did with the pst:( just gives it a finished look.
polished surfaces look tatty way to fast
They rust less the more polished too
Awesome video! Atleast in Michigan the 3 inch knife law is also in effect. That a big reason for the popularity of the Spyderco Delica, its 2.99 inch blade is not considered a weapon in many states unless used as one.
Great video! Im considering this one since I lost my old Leatherman Fuse and Wingman. Its crazy that the wingman is selling for $60 now on Amazon, it was $20 when it was newer, atleast thats what a review said fron 2013. It wasnt a super premium product but it was enough for me to fix arcade machines at the job I had without having to haul around a toolbox. Thanks for the review, and wow its great that new multi tools that are so good are coming out!
Great in-depth review, thanks. It's a shame that the Bond doesn't include a wood saw, but other than that, it ticks most of the boxes for me, at a decent price too. I'd certainly take this in preference to the Wingman, the Sidekick, or any of the Free series multi-tools. But for now, I'll stick with my Rebar.
hey great video I'm glad they produced a tool for us uk edc guys one thing I wanna point out, I've had my bond for a while now and my small flat head/flat head tool are still hard to get out unlike yours in the video I don't see it as a problem but do they need more wearing in ?
Thanks very much for this overview. Re the knife, I agree that a sheep’s foot blade would be better. It would eliminate both the “self stabbing” issue as well as providing a more reassuring blade for jurisdictions where a pointed blade might create problems.
How is the function of the pliers? Are they stiff as balls or do they work like the PST? Do the plies fit on the Rebar I wonder? Also my modified P4 is my favorite multitool now. I am a Data Center Tech and love the magnets. I added 2 more magnets so I can quickly attach it to the side of server cabs while I work. I think a stock P4 blows for the money though. I have at least 350.00 bucks in mine. Including the cost of the tool.
Pliers are stiff. It is an issue they still have not addressed unfortunately.
Bond is my favorite! Easy to carry.
The Bond is my new EDC favorite and lives in my EDC kit, so it goes everywhere with me. Still haven't tried a Free tool. I may be too old for those new fangled gadgets. ;)
This knife is perfect for us in New York which has very stringent knife laws and this one will fit perfectly for it.
I'm going to modify mine with scissors at the moment I have it! Looks awesome
Finally, I can carry this in the UK.
You can't. It might not have a locking blade but you have to fold back the handles to close the knife i.e it takes 2 steps to close the knife and this, sadly, makes it illegal in the UK and Ireland. If the blade was on the outside like it is on the Wave then it would be ok.
@Chop Wood Agreed but I was talking about being able to carry without having to defend "with good reason". People need to be careful about carrying this without "good reason". Carrying it while clearly out camping - probably ok. Carrying it into the nearest pub or supermarket to your campsite - probably going to cause you problems (if you get caught with it).
As far as UK friendly tools I have some comments as many look at the Bond for this reason.
Besides the Bond consider:
In the UK a blade-less multitool seems like it would be appealing. I mean a bunch of locking tools and you can just carry any non- locking knife you like maybe a SAK Compact if your tool doesn't have scissors for example or a SAK Walker if your multitool doesn't have a saw, or a SAK Waiter so you can open a beer or bottle of wine without getting a bigger tool out... There is still a tool-less Rebar and there used to be a tool-less Fuse or get a SOG and just remove the knife, replace it with something else if you wish as they sell individual impliments. If you could find a Leatherman Leap it allows you to remove the knife and is lightweight... Also there was a Leatherman Kick that had no locking blades including the knife and some (few) had pocket clips (sold separately). It just had screwdrivers, a knife and of course and plier head but it was light. Speaking of old tools if one could find a PST, PST 2, Sideclip, or even a Gerber MPT (copy of PST) they'd all work in the UK I believe.
So I hope I gave you some UK friendly ideas to ponder...
My name is Bond. Leathermann Bond
Excelente video, Muchas gracias por tu trabajo. Me parece que hace una dupla perfecta con Victorinox Huntsman, una con tijeras y sierra mientras está tiene Phillips y lima de metales.
Un abrazo austral desde Chile.
Fantastic overview. Your in depth review into the engineering of the mechanisms was great
Thank you very much!
Replace the lanyard ring with the excellent package opener from the Wingman. I like that so much I have a Wingman on a magnet in my tool cart that I use for the package opener exclusively. I never use any of the other tools.
That’s exactly what I would switch it out for!
Cut down a hacksaw blade to suit and replace the holder with it.
Good review. I agree with you 100%.
Yep, a 21st century PST is how I'd describe it too. I plan on getting one tomorrow.
I just really appreciate your style of being.
That "our friends in Europe" bit really got me good 😁
Good Job on the channel!
Greetings from Finland, where our laws prohibits any kind of knife to be carried in the public, wich means it is the knifeless rebar for me.
I’m so sorry to hear that. You certainly have my sympathies. That’s just crazy to me.
Same here in Sweden. 😢
I live in Belgium and they are not strict at all for multitools. I've checked our knife laws and they are all accepted. Other countries have more strict knife laws tho. Anyways, supercool vid, really enjoy all of them! And I love that you call us your friends🤝😃
Until someone gives me a reason to become my enemy, then we are all friends. People deserve, at the very least, mutual respect. Don’t you agree?
@@txtoolcrib I couldn't agree more. I just liked it because it gives a feeling of friendship and appreciation even tho we don't know each other at all.
I live in the U.K. and the rules are non locking as well as the length limit. I’ve carried a leather man most of my adult life, I’ve never given the police any reason to question or search me it’s pretty simple. If I’m ever using one I’m usually demonstrating the required “good reason” for having it anyway. Having said all this a folding U.K. legal one would be reassuring to have as an option.
What is the Little hole in the Frame in the near of the locking mechanism of the knife contra and backsided to the Clip good for? I guess there must be a function that i can‘t find out.
All i want is an OHT with thicker stock good review
I totally agree about the knife. Its the only issue I have with the PSTII, and they did us a disservice by not addressing it.
If they replaced the lanyard ring with scissors I would buy it instantly.
Im struggling to decide whether to get the bond or the bladeless rebar and carry a separate knife, any advice.
My choice would be the Rebar with a separate folder, entirely different class of capability. Plus, if you were so inclined, you could break it down and add more tools to the Rebar by eliminating spacers and the lanyard loop.
How much does it weight exactly?
I see different numbers from LM & BHQ
I had it coming in a lot lighter than what Leatherman claims. It is for sure under 6 ounces, even with the pocket clip added.
I simply have to agree. Not a tool for me, but I fully respect and appreciate this tool. This is the kind of product that sees a market, addresses their needs, and meets them without cutting corners. Helps that the market is almost all of Europe, and therefore an obviously large one with specific needs, but still a respectable move and effort.
I think that is perfectly stated.
Actually, Europe has some very diverse laws. For example, in France, carrying any knife is considered illegal unless you have a good reason to, which is up to the appreciation of the police (you can explain why you need a swiss knife for camping, but probably not a 7 inch knife in a night club). Some countries have blade length limits. Other countries have locking and deployment limits. It seems that this tool is marketed at the UK, which is hardly representative of the entire EU.
I need to get one of these. Maybe I’ll go out to the store today
Well, did you go get you one?
@@txtoolcrib I couldn’t find one in a store close to me. So, I had to settle for ordering one. I hate waiting. Lol
This is a great product review. For us in the UK this is perfect and we can finally carry this legally. We can only carry a knife that is 3" or less, folding and non-locking.
That is insane! Why cant you carry a real knife?
@@jimmac1185 sadly it’s the way it is. Too many knives being used by gangs. By banning them it makes it very easy for the police to arrest you for intent and carrying a concealed weapon. Even if you’re a carpet fitter, you’re looking at a long prison sentence if caught with your Stanley blade in the street.
@@MarkN67 How the hell are you supposed to defend yourself? Criminals don't care about laws, so they'll still have the weapons. I used to joke that after they come and take the guns away, knives would be next. I had no idea that was a true statement!
@@jimmac1185 To be fair, I’ve never needed to defend myself against an attack. Thankfully the UK isn’t as lawless as the news might let on. I played rugby for a long time and am big enough to look after myself if the SHTF.
@@MarkN67 I see where you are coming from and I don't have a view that the UK is lawless. I've never been there and don't actually have an opinion on it either way. I'm glad you're a big strong dude that can take car of himself, but what about those that can't? I hope you don't think I'm trying to argue with you, just a friendly discussion here.
The problem with the knife blade inching out of the frame also exists with the Gerber Suspension NXT; after nicking myself on it two or three times I scrapped the whole tool.
I think the best solution for this problem would be to switch this blade out for a sheep’s foot blade, suggested by another viewer. It would make it incredibly easy to retract and eliminate the possibility of someone getting cut accidentally.
Nice review as always. This tool is interesting. I guess it is a slip-joint version of the Rebar, all the tools look identical and I think they are identical. I prefer this style of construction more than newer design due to compactness (still use my '97 super tool regularly). This new MT has some features that I like, namely the pliers and the pocket clip but I would like a sheepsfoot blade (straight edge) instead. I hope they upgraded the Rebar with an option to attach pocket clip, replaced one blade with large wingman size scissors and a straight edge sheepfoot blade, that would be my ideal multi-tool but I guess it will never happen.
Thank you very much. Thanks for taking the time to watch too!
