Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Many suppliers are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
I am sometimes sent a product by a supplier which I may include if the product fits planned content and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. The product needs to be worthy of a review and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the content in any way. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many product offers are politely declined.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding.
Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description. Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review. There is no cost to you and in some cases discounts can be obtained via the link or via an included code.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.
Replying to Comments:
I really appreciate the feedback in the comments - I find it a source of knowledge and inspiration - so thank you to all of you who take the time to contribute. This is not just for me as the creator, it is a valuable source of information for all readers of the comments. I have recently found that if I continue to respond to all the comments as the number of videos builds, it takes significant time away from being able to produce new content which would be very counter productive! So my aim is to read everything I can and reply when I can, after each video goes live for the first few hours at least, and beyond that when possible. I'll see how that works out 😊
Please consider subscribing and being notified to keep up to date with new video releases.
Thank you for supporting the channel.
JonGadget - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I always wondered why this channel doesn't have more subscribers. Maybe it's because it is UK based and not US?? Is it because the focus is not on knives (which is probably the epicentre of EDC videos)?? Who knows....Anyway, I get most of my ideas on EDC here and I thoroughly enjoy what to me seems the absolutely best presentantion of the products anywhere on YT. Thank you Jonathan, for yet another absolutely enjoyable and informative video. Can't wait for your next one....
Thanks Nicolas, really appreciated 😊
Not enough of Jaime.
I agree, and I like the fact that there isn't much emphasis on knives here. That content on some other channels leaves me a bit cold, maybe because here in the UK the knife carry laws are quite restrictive.
I from the US and love this channel. I don’t always need knife videos like here in the US. Sometimes i just want practical edc gear and affordable which i end up seeing here.
Yeah, I fully agree with your sentiment and experience.
What a underrated channel this guy deserves 10x the subscribers.
That volty is something I was JUST thinking about needing. Thank you so much for bringing this product to light!
Looking forward to this! Will come back at the end!
You used the same link for the molle sheath and the voltybit👍
One of my favourite channels for edc and accessories ✅
Really appreciate the vid!
Picked up the ratchet for my leatherman arc. Nice vid👍🏻
Omg i was just considering making something like this...figures the better man would beat me too it 😆.
Hi Dom, lot's to go at mate - don't let this one stop you👍 Always keen to hear your take on all things multitool.
Both of you rock!
Yes Sir your both icons in the EDC world!!
I’ve waited over a year for the leatherman Ratchet driver to come back in stock
You're not alone....
8:47 I have carried a Charge TTI with the pocket clip for years, it's a bit fiddly to install, but it's rock solid with no play once you get it right.
Always really high quality videos, nice 👍
The leatherman molle sheath is meant for the OHT and MUT style multi tools
I got a molle sheath with my Wave, I didn't want the molle sheath I wanted the regular one tho after the upgraded sheath and a bit kit the charge woulda been the better buy
I’m glad you are looking at a Pacsafe model. Please review more if possible!! Excellent video!
Thank you 👍
Some great finds here! I have no use for a Volty but the innovation is great 😁
I like that the videos don't have a lengthy intro, straight to the point 🫡
The Leatherman Molle Sheaths were originally designed for the MUT and the MUT EOD ( both discontinued) you forgot to mention the wrench slot located in the molle attachment strap.
I wondered what that slot in the Molle strap was for! Thanks for sharing 👍
Volty Switch is a very useful instrument and it fits perfectly in my Leatherman ARC and in the Leatherman Wave as well. A very versatile and ultra-portable micro multimeter.
Besides checking batteries, I used the EMF detection feat in order to make sure that the wall socket I was taking apart has no power in it.
Not teaching you to suck eggs but don’t use this or a similar device to check that something is dead, use it to make sure it isn’t live then use an appropriately proved voltage tester before starting work 👍 stay safe
@@nje657 Thank you for your advice. I used the Volty to check for the presence of EMF before removing the fuse, and then checked again, confirming that the power was off.
Once again an awesome job Jonathan. Great content, great job. I enjoy all things Leatherman and Victorinox. Thanks again, I will share your channel with everyone I know!
Carl in the US (New Jersey)
thanks
Welcome
I went to buy the Leatherman adapt kit a few days ago but was put off by the £30 additional shipping costs
Lots of good info… I find the Leatherman pocket clip disappointing. I picked up an iGuerburn Surge clip on Amazon several months ago for around $9 and it is excellent.
Great content again mate. By the way you included the same link to the Leatherman molle pouch for Volty as well.
Zapwizard Designs had a bunch of useful aftermarket LM stuff and some good holsters. The main add-on I use is the ratchet driver, makes the bit driver experience so much better. Volty looks interesting but I’d rarely use it over a standalone tool. I basically never use any bits other than the one that comes with the Arc, but a carbide glass breaker would offer a but more piece of mind
I would LOVE the Leatherman Ratcheting Bit Extender but it’s perpetually sold out on their website. Tried buying one on a Leatherman Facebook group and got scammed.
I even signed up for the emails for when it comes back in stock, and it will come back in stock on a whim, but they will all be gone in less than a day, and I never get the email.
Yep, I never get the notification either.
And
I used 3 separate emails Addy's.
C'mon Leatherman let's goooo!!!
Long enough already.
@@D-Man-lv9vu I have 2 emails set up for it. So I feel you 😂
The Volty link doesn't work. Other than that, great content as always. It is really nice to see uk based EDC content. A large percentage of US EDC kit (knives especially) seem unavailable/illegal here.
Great video as always. It is so frustrating that the Leatherman ratchet driver is sold out. I really want one.
It's awesome I put a rubber band below the Grey switch and it is better than if it'd been narled
It's been sold out for ages.
I have contacted Leatherman several times in attempt to get a solid date as to when they will be back in stock.
The popular answer over the phone and via email is the they are "waiting" for the manufacturer overseas to figure it out.
C'mon Leatherman let's goooo!
That wild I carried a Gerber for yrs till a yr and half ago I decided to buy a wave while ordering it I got a rachet driver also I got lucky as heck and never knew it
The zipped Leatherman case is a bit pricey - and a bit on the large side - for an EDC kit - but - there is Always a But, but this is a positive one - the case would be marvellous as a Camera case for most compact digitals with charger, cables, spare batteries, SD cards and any other accessories - even lenses for a body.
My best Leatherman Accessory this year has been a B/Bury. If you are really into adventure, you need a knife that you can risk that drop and bounce into the drink, from the top of the mast, but never mind, you have several others to hand out.
Hey, a question about Skeletool! Does the bit extender fit when the tool is closed? Seems like it would be easier to use that way.
The clip-in lanyard loop used in conjunction with the (hidden) built-in lanyard loop on some models of Leatherman like the Wave and Charge can be used to make a Leatherman into a slingshot.
Very informative. Multi tool/Swiss army knife drops in a pocket or glove box, can't see the advantage of multiple pouches or bags personally. Thanks Jon.
The Wave and Surge have hidden lanyard loops. So that got me thinking what is the one with the pocket clip going to be usefull for. Well if you attach it to your backpack you have a place to mount your tool on the go and quickly release it.
If someone needs an every day toolkit, isn't it better to carry the Wera Tool Check Plus with you? Or anything similar. Thanks for the nice informative and entertaining video as always.
Not on your belt or in your pocket it isn't.
I think the learherman molle pouch is designed for very large leathermans like the MUT, signal, etc.
Nasty tease there on the ratchet. It hasn't been available for a long time!
I got my molle pouch with supertool eod
The Leatherman MOLLE sheath is used with the MUT EOD Leatherman tool.
Tale of Knives makes very high quality items, and I have two of their belt sheaths.
Yes, great quality 👍
Hello. Can the Leatherman Raptor Rescue fit the Tool Pouch ?
Where in the uk can I buy the ratchet bit driver ?
mate, you missed out on all the hammer mods for the Skeletool
That first "Kit" looks like a lunch box.
It does rather - a kids one!
You are right!
The Learherman Molle sheath was originally designed for the OHT
Have ManSak will travel ? 🇨🇦😄
Don't forget that the Wave+ has a hidden lanyard ring in the handle near the tip of the saw. Leatherman never really promoted it.
FYI: The leatherman ratcheting bit driver is sold out for months.
Years, been trying to find one for 2+ now without paying 5-10x retail on ebay
It's been forever.
Leatherman is becoming more and more useless every day.
Hi Jon. The Volty link shows the Leatherman Pouch.
unless your Leatherman came with those strange bits last I checked everywhere is SOLD-OUT
711L makes some NICE tools although a bit pricey but a GOOD TOOL is worth it!
That leatherman ratchet driver has been unobtanium for several years now. Nobody has them in stock and Leatherman has never done another run of them. Only way to get one is to spend 100-200 from a ebay scalper.
that’s not true, they restocked it recently and said they’re going to do another restock…but yes it’s annoying to get. i got the last one in stock on a different website
Yes they restocke a miniscule suppy and don't bother to send the email notifications I signed up for with THREE different emails Addy's.
Getting sick of Leatherman....
The molle pouch is frustrating. The XL is too big for a Wave to fit well, it drops too far down and it doesn't fit the bit kit well or additional wrench or bit extender... it really isn't great. But the Large version fits the Wave great, but only 1 bit kit again and no side stretch slots... so weird.
Good to know - thanks for sharing 👍
Buy the large leatherman sheath with the main pocket and two thin pockets on the inside and the two elastic side pockets. It fits my surge with two bit kits, saw/file blades, extender bar, 711L ratchet, small tweezers and a torch! The extender bar fits on one side and the torch on the other. 👍🇦🇺
Testing the Volty on a Carbattery ... dangerous... If you short that battery, you got a hot tool in your hand.
I personally don't get a case for a Leatherman. I feel the point is to have a small tool with a ton of functionality. If you have a whole purse can't you just have individual tools you need?
To each their own, just my thoughts.
Zap Wizard makes some cool stuff
Hi Jon, is there a way of contacting you apart from comments on TH-cam? I have something you may be interested in.
Pretty sure those little socket wrenches will break in most practical applications. Nice demo though.
Size has to be factored in for sure…
9:26 would be more viable as a scribe tbh
how many LONG TERM - YEARS - out of stock LM accessories did you suggest?
Bit Kit #1? Out of stock for over 2 years. Bit set #2 was out of stock for over 2 years, then beame available about a year ago. It MAY be out of stock again. I haven't looked recently. I bought it when it became available. I want a bit set #1, since mine is missing 4 bits. Whether it will become available again in my lifetime? who knows? LM has no idea when it will be back in stock.) Ratcheting Extension (coming up on THREE YEARS - maybe FOUR - out of stock. Currently only available USED on the big auction site -at 2x to 3x the suggested retail for new.) Standard extension? (I hear they are getting rare)
7-11L ratchet and equivalent? It gets sold out regularly, at least on the big south american river and jungle site.
Good luck getting everything this year at a reasonable price. ($15 for the proprietary bit bit sets is NOT a "reasonable" price.) A 32 piece standard 1/4 inch bit set - or 128 piece 1/8 inch bit set with an adapter to use in a 1/4 inch bit driver is under $10.)
LM has become an expensive joke.
Correction: the leatherman Molle sheath has another really good pocket just next to the one you showed. You have to squeeze the sheath together to open it.
No mention of how some items (Ratchet Bit) are like rocking horse 💩 to get hold of 😔
if you look theres a lanyard hoop already in the wave. its tucked away
Don't understand the need for the glass breaker bit. Philips bit would do the same job, all you need is a pointy thing.
Leatherman Lunchbag™
👇 if you want to see more Jamie
I think link for volty is broken
I’ve just linked to there website. Try a basic google?
@get no you didn't, you put same link in Leatherman Molle Pouch and Volty
My man doesn't know the rarchet driver hasn't been available since last april.
Where is Jaime.?
A leatherman lunch bag...
Looks like a nice lunch bag.😂😂
Ah yes the Leatherman ratchet driver... anyone been able to get one less that $100 in the past year?
Jon, I think that you are absolutely nailing it with your videos.
I fully agree with @nicolasp109. Absolutely the best EDC channel, period!
I Love Jon Gadget Videos 🩵✌🏻
The Molle sheath can be had by anyone in the US for less than 10 bucks at any army surplus store as its the same thing as a spare 9mm magazine holder. Leatherman quality has gone to crap lately. I'd stick with Victorinox.
interesting but its just a case, way to expensive
Mate - btw you gave us the wrong link to order the volty thingy :/:
Only the LM pouch show on...
Not gonna lie, carrying a whole leatherman kit defeats the purpose of a compact multi tool and is clearly just a stupid ass gimmick intended to fuck people who have more money than sense and never do any actual work. 🤌😂🤣😂☠️
