Harbor Freight Gordon 20-in-1 Multitool Review and comparison with Leatherman Wave

This is a review of the Gordon 20-in-1 multi-tool, sold by Harbor Freight. This is a clone of the Leatherman Wave multi-tool. I'll compare and contrast the build quality and features.

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

Very informative, however with the inclusion of the gut hook and the pocket clip it seems closer to the leatherman charge than the wave. I carry a wave+ at work and a charge TTI off work. (My wave gets super oily at work). Just checked and my Charge also has the wire crimper below the plier hinge.

Very informative video. Good clone, but there's nothing like the USA made original Leatherman. I'd like to see a 6 month follow up on the clone. New subscriber here, keep these great videos coming !

Thanks for subscribing! Definitely want to show some after use videos

I can say the walmart multi force has held up for me for a few Years. It's not quite this cheap, but still pretty cheap relative to the leatherman.

[@raiderdawgranch]

Definitely paying a little for the name recognition in a leatherman, as with all category leaders

USA made? Portland Oregon is not a part of my USA.

Nice video. I was lucky to get my hands on this tool a few weeks ago ordering it online from HF. This is my 1st ever multi-tool. I too just have a office job (WFH) but I ended up using this tool so many times and loved it so much. I ended up placing another online HF order as a gift for my step-dad as none of my local stores have any in stock. Unfortunately as of late June 2024, this tool is backordered. So I am waiting for it to ship. On a side note... the website says this multi-tool has a 90 day warranty, but my online Harbor Freight order history says this tool has a lifetime warranty. I made sure to take a screenshot just in case.

[@raiderdawgranch]

Thanks for watching. I should have done more research on the warranty. I might have to add an edit. I too see some people reporting this tool is warrantied for life. That’s crazy!

[@billybunter3753]

Lifetime warranty that is until the company closes then opens up under a different name!

[@BOOGiNS]

I wonder how you ordered an in store only item online.

[@Mr-Chris]

​@BOOGiNS they had online order available up until a few days ago. This is such a popular tool it's now on backorder.

Harbor Freight has an unusual warranty policy. I think that if you have an account with them, you get lifetime warranties. I recently bought a socket wrench set (office guy, not trades/heavy user) there and when I bought it the guy looked up my phone number and told me because i was in the system it would have a lifetime warranty. HF has been around a long time and frankly their stuff is getting less junky all the time, so I think they will be around a long while to come.

Also both have a hidden lanyard loop.

[@raiderdawgranch]

Whoa! I did not know that! This is going on a short! Thanks!

[@gordonadams5891]

I found the bottle and can opener combination doesn't work on bottles.

[@Redeemedtoserve]

I have 4 leathermans and use the bottle opener quite often, just takes time to figure out how to position it.

[@allanjonalisidro7007]

Is that Gordon china made?

[@raiderdawgranch]

Yes it is.
