Wingman wanted a wingman. LOL yeah just picked up a surge about two months ago. I use gerber suspension and gonzo to outfit my Maxpedition bags, worried about losing it if I forget the bag somewhere. Thx this might make a nice Christmas gift for my dad this year.
I've been carrying my Wingman as my EDC for 1 year and I have no complaints. It's always in my pocket doing a tag-team with my Micra which gives me a nice toolset for every day stuff. I particularly like the pocket clip for quick access and greater convenience.
I have a gerber suspension, works will still going strong. But I just ordered one of these can’t wait to get my hands on it. But awesome review wing man.
It cuts solid wire very well. Just now did it. I bought it because it was inexpensive and I've never had a leatherman and someone recommended them a while ago so I thought l'd see how good they are for myself without spending too much money. Happened across it at Lowe's. The knife is indeed razor sharp! I really like the spring action on the pliers. I had a multitool before without it. What a world of difference it makes!
Lost my skeletool cx at work a few months ago. I have been bummed & lost w/o it. My wife just got me this WIngman for fathers day, & I Could not be happier. Especially considering the price as you said. If this 1 gets lost i know i can replace it for much less. Weight wise not much different, several more tool options, and over all it is shorter than the skeletool. This is a great everyday carry, and if i personally need more tool than this, i will grab my tool box : ) I agree with you about the blade length. Seems like a missed opportunity there... I think i will order and install the blade from the sidekick at the very least though, as I do prefer the non serrated blade. Great vid sir!
thanks for the video...here in the philippines leatherman wingman cost 65dollars...and leatherman wave cost 230dollars...how sad the high price they sell leatherman products...:(
Great multi-tool. I have the sidekick and love it. But man, you're right, for $30 you just don't pass it up. Thanks for sharing what you liked and what you didn't. Hope you continue to enjoy it.
I don't know of it is just me but I find the pliers lacking because, to me anyway, the pliers are slippery and because some of the tools stab you a little when you squeeze I would agree that if you are fortunate enough to buy one at a discount (I bought mines for 26 dollars) it is worth the price, but it us not worth the 49 dollars the Wingman typically sells for.
Thanks for sharing Wingman115. I picked up the wingman after your first video about it. I do like it. For my use I wish it did not have the serrated blade, but I am checking with leatherman to see about obtaining a sidekick blade to replace the original. Take Care, Londian.
I regret when it was last Christmas that this was for 20$ but I found a deal on eBay skeletool and wingman for 68$ shipping included I'm waiting for it for the collection
I bought the sidekick and its a good tool.Same cutters on it as the wingman and I agree with the cutting action on both not great but gets the job done.
9 years later how is it still going? I just lost my sidekick since 2017, I've been carrying a blade now at work & it's not the same. I just went ahead & ordered a wingman! Can't wait for it to come. A Leatherman has always been under my roof 🇺🇲🤷🏼♂️ They have a great warranty policy but I just paid $70 for mine off Amazon 😆 but now I'm sad because I thought the tools locked open while deployed! Dang it Leatherman
I was impressed on how smooth the tools were to deploy, oh yeah and not to mention that I got a wingman and a micra for $24 freaking dollars at a local hardware store!
Great review. Got mine off E-Bay for about $24 shipped. I couldn't believe we hit on the same things with this tool. I also have a nylon pouch, might have been for a pistol; mag, fits it perfect and also will remove the pocket clip. Love the ergonomics in the hand, very comfortable smooth edges A+. I have not used the wire cutter. I really like the locking feature of the scissors and knife, and the fact you can open and close the knife one handed. Geez same as you I have looked and wondered why, Leatherman did not make the blade a little longer. A quarter inch doesn't sound like much but on a small blade very little bit helps. Great tool especially for the price. Very good review of this tool.
I got one of these for $0. I found it near a lake, and apparently someone lost it, but there was no way to find them, so I kept it and use it a lot. A few pros and cons: The little box cutter thing works really well for carving fine detail in wood, and for finer tasks than the knife. The pliers are good, but if you put too much pressure twisting on them, you can feel them start to give. The file is works sort of well, but the grooves all slant one way, so it sometimes slips. The screwdrivers also start to give if you put too much pressure on them, and they are too fat for many screws. I don't know what the notch in the side of the Phillips head is for (reply if you know), but overall, I think it is a very sleek, compact design that is probably the best you can find for 30-35 bucks.
You lost me with, "Part of preparedness is being prepared." WTF
+Gerardo Quintero Lots to think about.
Bro that was the best part, works everytime most of the time lmao
Disagree. The world lost Yogi Berra (which was tragic) but we gained a Wingman115.
"Part of preparedness is being prepared" XD
love your profile picture!!
haha thanx!
Mitch vd Merwe np
Mitch ismyname mind blown!
That is where he lost me
after 8 years... I'm still using this fantastic multitool, everyday...
👍🏻

You did well to keep a strait face while doing that review...LOL.
For $30 that is outstanding value for money. Excellent reivew Wingman :-)

Thanks for the comment.
Wow, I'm getting one. I've carried my wave for 9 years and it has helped me get through quite a few situations!
I have a gerber suspension, works will still going strong. But I just ordered one of these can’t wait to get my hands on it. But awesome review wing man.
I don't think the cutting action is bad on the Wingman. I think it's limited to thinner wire though. Still, not bad for $25-30
Im thinking about getting a couple of these engraved for my grooms party. I think they'd really like them
Hard to believe this is 10 years old. Still carrying the Wingman, Wingman?
I carry my leatherman as part of my EDC.Great video bro.

Thanks for checking in.
I am giving one of these away on my channel.
I love your vids.
Cracking review, I didn`t know about the box cutter until you pointed it out. Just ordered mine today :)
Thanks for stopping by.
I thought that was a fur unzipper.
thanks for the video...here in the philippines leatherman wingman cost 65dollars...and leatherman wave cost 230dollars...how sad the high price they sell leatherman products...:(
These are now $80 dollars
Check nextool flagship pro. Wingman killer
👍🏻👊🏻
A small FYI..what he reffered to as a box opener/cutter implement.. is really meant for opening plastic “clam shell” packaging.
Yep! This is a nice affordable multytool! Nice video!! Thanks!! I hit the like button and i subscribe. ;)

great choice. I bought this for my dad to start his "kit" to carry around in his truck or camper.
I bought the sidekick and its a good tool.Same cutters on it as the wingman and I agree with the cutting action on both not great but gets the job done.
I think the Rebar is far superior for being in the price point. Not as easy to deploy the main blade, but nicer overall.

I run it in a edc kit. Working great.
Wing, I purchased the Wingman plus the Micra on EBay for $20 delivered, screaming deal...Really like it...
Hi there.A very thorough review. Very helpful to hear the good & not so good features and that you actually used the various features. Many thanks :)
last year Home depot had them for 20 bucks xmas time.
Good review. Looks like a good first multi tool for my son. Just enough features for an upcoming outdoorsman.
your videos are really interesting and you give good info :) ur just a terrible actor :D
I was impressed on how smooth the tools were to deploy, oh yeah and not to mention that I got a wingman and a micra for $24 freaking dollars at a local hardware store!
Are they still alive? In good shape?
It does not look like i video from 2012
👍🏻👊🏻

Folks, part of being prepared is... Being prepared. Lol, love it man :) you've got some good vids
You have paper in your computer? I keep mine in the printer.

Sounds good

It seams to serve as a "peek" window when tool is closed to ID which blade is which.
Great Review. I just placed an order on Amazon and I am looking forward to use it :)
got mine at home depot for $19.99
Dan Kantura I hope you purchased two. That's a steal at that price!
Great deal, but I should only need one! It was in hand during your video.
Nice Jeep.
Nice job my freind
Good review
Absolutely great size for EDC fits in Pocket
👍🏻👊🏻
where did you get it
Simple yet. Great review. Honest and legit.
I appreciate that!
where did you get it
dose it lock ?
The knife and the scissors do. The rest have a detente to hold in place.
thanks
I picked mine up at Home Depot for $35 and I use it every day. I want to get another one to go into my hunting/everyday pack.
+Kevin Kelly You scored..
+Kevin Kelly you should check out the Sidekick as well
How does it compare to the leatherman Skeletool?
Not sure I've never used one. If I see one on sale I may have to do a shoot out video.
Good review, thanks man!
I have one and literally carry it around everywhere
+Setho Films For the price it's not a bad set up..
my scissors on the wingman are real stiff and if i push down all the way they get stuck, what should do, dot really feel like contacting leatherman.
+Md Daniel Hard to say without seeing them.. maybe some lube on the pivot?
i was thinking about putting oil on them, do you think that would work?
It's worth a try.
ok thanks for answering so quickly lol
nice review! great work, thank u!
+TheGtzz Your welcome.
I got mine for $15 at Walmart
lester moon Score! Thanks for the 411.
23 dollars as of this month at Home Depot. :)
👍🏻👊🏻
+Charles Muller 15 at eBay c:
We it is worth $ 65
+Дмитрий Ничипурук no look for a bargain.
where did u get it
+Caden Mason Home Depot at the time.
Too me the pliers on the Rev is a better pliers then the wingman and sidekick. 😀
True but we’re talking a jump in price point as well.
@@Wingman115 Leatherman Rev multi tool is cheaper then the wingman and the sidekick.
@@Wingman115 the Leatherman Rev $39.99 the wingman and sidekick price@$ 59.99 Amazon
Yeah the rev pliers are more sturdy but less needlenose and more snubnose. However the handle of the rev is less sturdy when using the pliers
You liked the rev? I'm not a fan on that the tools don't lock open. I used a sidekick since 2017 & even that that tools didn't lock open
