The Harbor Freight Gordon Leatherman wave clone is pretty good for $40
Agreed. I bought 1 and really like it. I plan on getting another for my wife's car too instead of 1 of my Leathermans staying in there.
The best thing, in my opinion, about the recent Gerber multi tools is the sheath. I use the extra straps to put the sheath on my belt horizontally, straddling a belt loop so it won't slide around. Then I put my Leatherman in it!!
I have the Gerber Nxt is amazing
The name is bond Leatherman bond 😜
I personally hated the gerber suspension and nxt... their tolerances and quality were terrible compared to leatherman
I bought a Gerber suspension and it’s compares to a Walmart Ozark Trail multi tool.
@@rockogawky5982the good ozark trail multi tool is quite better than than a leatherman, tbh. It holds a better edge and and is easier to sharpen.
Nice (and valuable) review!! Thanks very much!
I own a GERBER Suspension NXT. It's served me well, but I'm willing to try the Berbury(?)
1. great review
2. I am older. When the multitools were not available, the late Ron Hood and I had a disagreement about which SAK to buy at the low end as a "pre Leatherman multitool". He wanted a wood saw. I wanted a scissors. The Huntsman model was the SAK knife that had both features.
3. I have multiple Leatherman Wave tools: in the car, in the dance shoe bag, in a suit case and at home.
4. If I were starting over, I went pick a Chinese leatherman like tool with a scissors as my backups and occasional use tools.
Thanks for all the hard work you do putting these videos together. I am looking to get a smart watch and haven't decided on one yet. I would love to know what kind of watch you wear and see some reviews on that. Keep up the great work and I love your channel! God bless you and your family.
Thanks so much for the comment. I went with a Garmin.
Good value for sure
I bought the BiBury 31 in 1 multitool, basically a Surge clone. Very pleased with it. If I’d found it sooner, I would never have purchased my Wave+. However, my favorite multitool is my Gerber Dual Force; around our 3 acres and RV it is the most useful and dependable.
A small modification can reduce the weight of this tool and bring it close to the Gerber.
I’ve owned the original Gerber Suspension for nearly 10 years. It’s a great multi-tool for its price and purpose. Camping, fishing, handyman duties, etc. I know how to care for my tools, sharpen blades, and not abuse my stuff. Unless you are prepping for the apocalypse, the suspension will get work done.
i think leatherman is in real trouble- I have a bibury and have had good luck with it. I have a Gerber as well but not this model
I was expecting another bad knock of from China, but in fact looks really good
Great review! That's a lot of tool for the price.
It sure is!
I have two Waves…😂 and recently loaned out my Skeltool that I hope I get back. I was never a fan of Gerber multitools. I had a Diesel years ago and dented the wire cutter on a very low gauge wire. Never have gone back to them. That Byberry looks cool but it’s too similar to the Suspension. I wish someone would come out with a clone of a Rebar and add scissors. I would love that tool.
Hey man, your channel is my go to for knife reviews but there’s a couple of tools I’d really love to see you review. The baryonyx machete and the G2 Grandaddy machete. God bless you man.
brotha i own n use a mossy oak multi-tool here , great n solid backup option + i own 2 others for e.d.c. i rotate time to time + harbor freight just came out with a gordon multi-tool , ie leatherman wave clone for 40 $ , thanks n great vid n keep em coming > tom !
Right on
@@gideonstactical thank you brotha , i hope you are well n kep the great vids coming i will faithfully n forever support you 1 million % , i am a u.s. military/marine vet 93' to 97' active !
I find the black coated gerber pliers have been phenomenal, ive had a mp600 basic for over 6 years and just got a custom centerdrive plus with the same coating, which i find is just better protection than the silver finish that ive had on a gerber truss. I also find the sliding jaw or out the front pliers from gerber have insane stability compared to butterfly jaws, plus you can flick it with youe wrist and open them one handed. If leatherman has one similar, i might have to test it out
The box on my B/Bury says that it's made of 3Cr13. Hope that helps. I bought it on the strength of your review and I'm really surprised at the quality. Thanks for making the content.
Kool...I paided 17 for the flissa with g10 scales pretty amazing what's going on in our space right now
Nice that sounds pretty awesome
Flissa and other brands have knockoffs of the Wave for fairly cheap. Not as high quality as Leatherman but not bad, especially for backups.
I don’t like the Flissa. The handles close when you cut things. The blade is decent. I like the Harbor freight version better. The bit holder retention isn’t very good. The pliers close too easy but better than the Flissa. Leatherman is still better and you definitely pay for it.
How about a comparison to Harbor Freight's $40 Gordon copy of the Wave?
i carry and use clones multitools never the originals and it s ok!
The B bury wave clone and Gordon wave clone are really well made. i own both and hope you get a chance to review them if you have not already. 🦉
I just got a Rocktol with the fire starter on it
I broke a Gerber suspension cutting chainlink fence so I bought a new one and now it’s in a bag lost somewhere around here lol
That’s why when I seen you review the Rocktol I had to get one ☝🏼
Great review Arron ,, but as for myself I’ll stick with all my USA made Leathermans 👍👍
cool that it,s that cheap ,looks good 👍
I bought three suspensions for my kids. They are garbage when trying to use the pliers. The grip is way too wide for small hands to grip. If you have banana hands, fine. But normal hands or smaller hands, they suck!!
It is a wide grip, I didn’t think of that.
awesome review , however here in the UK the amazon link you put up wont ship to my country , would there be any way you could supply British Amazon links??
I can look into that!
@@gideonstactical cheers
Never owned a Leatherman the only thing I've ever owned is gerber
What watch are you rocking in this video?
Casio G-Shock love those things.
@@gideonstactical nice! I’m in the market for one, which model is that? Never seen it
I get where you're going with these Leatherman/Gerber clones. My Leatherman Surge is built like a tank and nearly as heavy. But not everyone can afford it or need something that massive. These inexpensive multi-tools definitely meet a need for lighter duty, affordable tools that can handle a lot of tasks without carrying a toolbox everywhere you go. The Rocktol 12 in 1 you reviewed a while back is a great example. Surprisingly, I use my small $25 Leatherman Micra more for incidental stuff than the larger multi-tools. The drivers work for the small tasks and the scissors are better than what comes on the bigger tools. I just don't need a pair of pliers all that often and when I do I go out to the SUV and get my Surge. No way I'm lugging it around in my pocket.
Hey Aron, I have much respect for you bro, but I will never again buy a Gerber product and I haven’t in over twenty years. I bought a few Gerber products many years ago and none of them lasted more than a few months, including three multitools. Their quality is sub par to the extreme. My Leathermans just keep on going. It’s far less expensive to just buy the Leatherman in the long run and you don’t have to worry about failures.
Totally somebody has the money they should buy me a lot of them as I can. This is just a super budget friendly option for those who don’t have $100 or want one or two back ups to their Leatherman. 👍😉 always appreciate the comments and feedback Jonathan.
I think in this case better than the original. My reason for a 'knock off' or 'look alike' is overseas backpacking trips where you don't know the laws. If customs confiscate your 150 dollar Leatherman Wave you're off on a bad start compared to my 25 dollar (free delivery to my door) China tool (no brand name) that's build like the Wave but actually has more tools and all locking. The tools, clip and pouch are all sturdy. The pliers have no play and replacable wire cutters. On the outside it has a straight edge sheepfoot blade (less agressive looking), woodsaw, metal file and scissors and all are full size with liner locks. On the inside the other tools with a differnt locking system. The philips head is 3D so you can use an adaper set. The tool is rather heavy because of the heavy duty build but not a problem for in my backpack.
G'day Aaron, goes to show how much mark up there often is on mass produced products and for the sake of a coupla tweaks, a shipload more sales, outweighs the cost of the extra effort to start with.
Incidentally, a mate of mine picked up a ripper cheapie in the specials bin at one of our outdoor chains for 5, yes 5, I'll say it again 5 AUD, (around 3 USD). Unfortunately unbranded and unpackaged, no model, serial number, to be found, not even a "made in" from memory, (fair bet, alphabet steel from NW of Taiwan, the blade reminded me of 8Cr, which aint too bad), ultimately, I couldn't tell ya what it was. And nor could the sales staff, I went back for one a coupla days later, but alas all gone, (I reckon word had got out), and no clue from behind the counter, ...... not that they'd admit anyway ; )
As far as multitools go, it was one of the better designs, build and ergos I've ever seen with about half the tools liner locking and no play anywhere, ...... at least as new ; )
Main point is; yes there's plenty of rubbish to ferret through, ............ but dont ignore the specials bin !!!
Cheers Duke.
$16 wow someone’s running a slave shop 😂 I’ll stick with American made (Leatherman) 😃
They are not all made in the USA. In fact they’ve been pulling that label off more and more of their tools. They keep raising the prices though…
@@atomicsmith from what I hear the vast majority or leatherman is made in America besides some of the tools on some models because they have no other option to source them in the states and I can understand having to go over seas for parts that just aren’t made in America or aren’t made in enough quantity to keep up with production but they are tested to leatherman standards when they have to do that. I m guessing they wouldn’t have this problem if Americans would stop buying Chinese etc forcing American makers to shut down or go overseas. When it comes to prices what doesn’t go up in price almost every year with inflation supply and demand etc.
Mp600
Thanks for the good review as always. I agree that if you just need a multitool to have around the house or put in a bag, i feel like for $15 you can't really go wrong.
But for heavy duty use, Leatherman might be a better option despite the price.
Things this cheap aren't built to last.
On a tight budget a Milwaukee fast back utility knife/driver, slip joint pliars, and SAK knife of your choice be a better system IMO vs a multi tool. I do own a couple leatherman tools I've had for years that I use and enjoy. 2024 leatherman have gotten crazy expensive.
Thanks Aaron for a good review. Take care. 🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
I'd still rather go to a Pawnbroker and buy a secondhand Leatherman 👍
This thing looks full of sharp angles and hot spots....
If it's not either a Leatherman or a victorinox swiss tool, you're pretty much wasting your time, and your money too. Leatherman and victorinox are king 👑👑.
Not a good way to view the situation. Cost/Value analysis always has its place in a decision matrix (which should prominently include your personal usage case for the item).
My Swisstool collects dust while my bibury and Ozark trail multiforce actually get put to work. The swisstool models are shiny toys that for some reason get mistaken for being high quality by morons because they are shiny lol
Half empty bottle is noisy.. Won't work for hunting..
I still love the channel ❤👍
Made in China
anything gerber is overpriced
Can't do the facial expressions
Why keep buying Gerber? It’s literally gas station quality knives n tools
Why is this ging' screaming tactical, but it seems he never experienced a tactical situation in his life? Am I mistaken?
Tactical definition
(of a person or their actions) showing adroit planning; aiming at an end beyond the immediate action.
relating to or constituting actions carefully planned to gain a specific end. Usually in a military situation but not always.
Never claim to have lived through Tactical situation. In fact, I regularly remind people I’m just an average Joe given an opinion.
You sound like a boot who didn't make it through basic. You mad he makes more money in ad revenue in one video than you will in a year
