Just received a Leatherman Juice Xe6. List was $102 and I stole it for $62 off Ebay. Brand new with box and paperwork. Bought it for the wife for her B-day. She has been carrying around a feeble little Swiss Army knife for years now. Time to upgrade. This thing is awesome. Can't wait to give it to her. I may get one for myself also.

My brother gave me a leatherman, with vise grip instead of regular pliers. I like it except it the fact that it doesn't fold up. It doesn't fit in the pouch that came with it because of that.

I have two of those vice grip type, have never had any trouble folding them. Very handy little tool, one lives in the glove box of my daily driver, the other in the top drawer of my desk, use them quite often.

Get a grip.

My friend loves them, he always has his Gerber on him and uses it for everything. IMHO the Gerber is beter than the Leatherman because you can flick it open with your wrist. By the time I get my knife out on the Wave to cut anything, my friend has already done it with his Gerber.

I ruined a Leatherman supertool in about a month. It seems the pliers are not designed for actual work and they bent. Than I bent the screw driver trying to take out a tough screw, and broke the beer bottle opener. Also it rusted like crazy! Now I have a Leatherman Wave that sits in my desk draw and opens box's and letters, which it seems well suited for. A $70 paper weight.

To me they are to expensive to actualy use, heavy to carry, and all the tools are really light duty.



I use my utility knife for work, because I can cut rock with it and replace the blade 6 times a day. Also its only $14 so I hammer with it and beat the living piss out of it. If it lasts a year I'm happy. I had a big knife for camping, which has been replaced with my new Ka bar, thats a real knife.

I have not found multi tools to be up to the work I do, they try to do everything, but can't do anything well.

I liked the "shick" of the Gerber when opening, but lost the thing. The leatherman does what I need it to. If I need a real tool, I'll hit up the toolbox.

The maintenance folks who work in large complexes love them. They can be walking around anywhere and make quick fixes on the spot.

I've got one of these, but I hardly ever use it: http://www.leatherman.com/multi-tools/retired-products/mini-tool.aspx

It's lasted longer than the knockoff that I have had over the years, which tended to break after 2 or 3 uses...

You slip the little pressure clip at the base of the movable jaw out of its home position in the movable handle, fold the jaws all the way down into the fixed handle side and then squeeze the movable handle (the one with the screw adjuster in its base) into place.

Not sure if this would still work.... In Dec '01 ( 3 months after 9/11), the wife and I were going to Hawaii and back. I packed a small bag with the usual carry on stuff, but didn't check all the pockets. After 5 of the 6 flights I opened a pocket and found my Leatherman ( a real one not a knock off). It had gone through security 5 times and not been questioned. Probably because when folded up it appears to be a solid block of metal. We made it through the 6th checkpoint and home with no issues. Wonder if it still slips by?
