This looks amazing! I'm in school for CAD because I love additive manufacturing and the possibilities for stuff like this. I'd love to hear about your design process.
Hey bud, you are a genius! I'm very impressed with your ingenuity. Great work, I'll be interested in a horizontal one in the near future(i have a wave currently, but am looking at Garage and Arc awfully hard)
Dude you absolutely CRUSHED this!! Like.. I was on the fence about the tool itself UNTIL I saw your holster design and now I want one! Do you make one for the Arc as well?
This is very, very well designed 👍 The space utilisation and klack noise soothes my OCD 😆 Does this mean you can claim Leatherman purchases on your tax return as research & design ? LoL
For those that may have tool slippage issues, can one drill out holes to add magnets to help hold the multitool on place better? What epoxy is best to hold a magnet in the nylon/plastic your sheaths are made from? Would JB Weld suffice? Really like your sheath options, or I would not bother to keep asking. Did find screws for the Arc that did offer a tad more tension on the sheath. Not sure how long this will last. Would adding the thumb-hole covers you made, onto the saw & file, offer some resistance to keep the tool in more firmly? Still waiting for a fully armored case version. Bought the 711L adjustable wrench. It sort of holds on the bottom bit holder. May have to rethink how to carry it though, maybe a thin leather holster for it and the bit extender. Gearing up for a recumbent trike ride the end of June in Kellogg, Idaho.
This is some really impressive work sir, thank you for putting that time in. Any ARC holsters in the pipeline for us mortals who haven't got a Batch 5?
Could you please design one without a clip, featuring a continuous row of bit holders on the back, tapering near the edge? Alternatively, I'm interested in one that's flat on the back but can securely store the Leatherman bit set or a similar set of bits.
Your looking for a belt less (tool box / bag) version? I have done that for the P4 before. I may be able to mock it up this weekend. I don’t have plans to hold the bulky Leatherman Bit set though when I can integrate the bit holders directly into the print.
Yes, that's the exact design I was looking for. Your attention to detail with the current model and the added-on accessory capabilities would be perfect for me, especially with the continuous intergraded bit holders on the back and no clip.
The no-belt, lots of bits option is available to order, it holds 18 bits + the 711L + Ratchet. zapwizard.com/collections/garage-005/products/no-belt-18-bits-holder-for-the-leatherman-garage-005
What is the best way that you recommend, to break in these holsters? I just received mine today and none of the bit slots are usable. I have to basically hammer them in and out lol 🤦♂️
Push them through a about 6 to 10 times each, the detents are intentionally tight, but will wear in with use. I use the end of the bit extender to wear in the slot a bit or push the bits through.
Has the tool ever slid out of the case like getting in and out of driver's side car seats? That's my biggest issue, driving a Suzuki Esteem the car seat clip-in likes to mess with my tool cases.
@@ZapWizard Will say thatb the Garage #5 I have goes in way easy, and although it has not come out when worn - it is really easy to come out. Wished there was more resistance. Could be the lever on my tool. Who knows? Bits go in extremely difficult. Tempted to use oil to get them to slide in better. Volty went in well, as well as a longer bit. The Ratchet on kine does not seat all the way in like yours. The one I have goes in 10mm. It seems it does not want to seat the last 4mm of the nylon ratchet shaft. Have tried tapping it in to no avail. Do wished there was extra material to cover the outer side of the multitool like you have available for the Arc. Unsure if the newer Arc holster is compatible with the Garage #5. I like the armored pocket clip version. PCDoodle's LED light might work well with that cutout *if* they get it past the prototype stage. Will keep working the various bits over time. They are a beast to go in new.
Since there is no fully armored version available, will the nylon tool tabs help the G#5 from sliding? Something average sized people do not have issues with compared to a larger person, mine likes to slide upwards 1/2” to 3/4” if carried on my hip - which is more comfortable to carry. Gets uncomfortable to carry above the front pocket area. Trying to find some that works up until you will sell a fully or partially armored case. Like the build you have save maybe with an inverted ratchet.
Did notice by adding Arc screws in place of the Pocket Clip do indeed add some friction to your open-faced sheath. For how long I do not know. Was asking earlier if the thumb-hole covers for the Saw & File might offer more resistance/grip on the open faced sheath for the Leatherman 40th Anniversary Multitool aka Garage #005?
Ordered my ARC this morning. Yes, I plan on making a holster specific to it. the Garage 005 holster I have already fits it, but not perfectly due to the slight differences in the blade size and thumb tab location.

The thought that went into this is incredible.
incredible design, definitely will be looking to get an ARC version

Really nice work. Dominic highly recommended you. From Maxlevl edc
this is amazing! I''ll mention this and add it to my 40 anniversary addition video.
Very clean and efficient design. Love the barnacle idea, would be perfect for those interested in the horizontal holster with the limited bit holders

Thanks. Yes the arc holster is here: zapwizard.com/collections/leatherman-arc
Your products are awesome!! Can’t wait to get this in my hands!
Great addition.
Love it all, absolutely awsome. Looking forward to one in my future for sure.
amazing work Zap, always impressed with your designs. I hope you are paid very well on your day job!
These are excellent! When I buy a leatherman arc I will pick up one of these 🤟😎🤟
Excellent stuff
I anticipate the arc will fit this, but I won’t say for sure until I get my hands on one.

This is very, very well designed 👍

Yes it does.
I've always wondered that about making TH-cam content
Very nice design!

Super glue holds well to 3D printed nylon (due to the slightly rough texture).
👍 Nice.

@@ZapWizard This is so awesome; I can't express how cool this is. I'll order one right now.
any plans to do something like this for the surge? this is amazing looking
Is it possible to get this for my leatherman surge with all these options along with something to hold an extra tshank?
Soonish, just gotta spend the time to back convert the newer features into the older holders.
What material are you printing with? And what method of additive? FDM or SLS/Resin?
SLS Nylon 12
👏👍🙏
Fantastic, do you have a slim version available for a Surge??
You can order the surge without the extender. It still does have the blade holder though.

Is that volty bit safe to use? So that the leatherman doesn't zap my fingers?
Only for low voltage signals. As it says on the volty bit website.
Are you gonna have any more holsters for the arc?
Same options, custom fit: forms.gle/SQv8qMmc7DgUMvvt9
Has the tool ever slid out of the case like getting in and out of driver's side car seats? That's my biggest issue, driving a Suzuki Esteem the car seat clip-in likes to mess with my tool cases.
I have never had the tool slide out, but the ratchet driver on the side has snagged on a seatbelt.

Do you think on making a duty holster for this multitool that is Armored ? like the ARC has?
It's on the plans, just not released yet.
Can u give me a complete list of what Leatherman u can make those for I am interested

Will you be offering the ARC with a similar design soon?
Ordered my ARC this morning. Yes, I plan on making a holster specific to it. the Garage 005 holster I have already fits it, but not perfectly due to the slight differences in the blade size and thumb tab location.

where you buy, i check the web sold out!
The next line on the website states: not for sale yet. (Shopify just says sold out due to a template). But it should be available this weekend.
Will you be making any for the surge?
I have holsters for the surge. But they don’t have the ratchet and 711l holsters as those are both relatively new.
@@ZapWizard Awesome. Thank you for the quick reply!!!
What bit set are you using with your holders. Could you please link it.
The Leatherman flat bits. amzn.to/3Ztm61n
Does the sight adjuster bit driver extender fit the same as the regular bit extender?
There are separate options for holding the Ratchet Driver or the Bit extender. The base is the same, but the top grip is different.
Any updates on the pip boy?
No. But got some other things coming soon(ish)
will this work with the arc?
It should, but I haven't physically confirmed it yet.

My manufacturer went bankrupt. I am in the long process of trying to find and validate another.
