[hansmikkelsen]

[nwwy]

240p we meet again ... 

[TheMokamola]

I have a knife made by Gerber... Isn't that the company that makes baby food?

[corporalgaffatape]

240p, we meet again...

[Jiqsaw08]

Quality Made in the U.S.A

I like it =)

[emilang]

okay this was definitely filmed with an toenail

[lolapalusum]

Thumbs up if you live in portland!!

[pantheon808]

I've used my Blast everyday for work for 6 years and still works as it did from new... Without doubt the best purchase i've made

[robinturns]

What a dire place to work, which job would you like to do all day?

I am all up for tight quality control and good engineering but I like to see people doing jobs that use more of their faculties as human beings.

[churchrvsb]

@robinturns All jobs become repetitive and boring. At least these people know they are making great, useful tools that will probably outlive them. It is a legacy of sorts.

[wicca584]

@robinturns An understandable comment, But, There are worst jobs, At least you can see that you have produced something and the end of each shift, I would have thought they would move people about the factory to avert boredom, But, I do believe you are right, It`s not a workplace environment anybody should do for a considerable length of time, Not unless you have got a seriously hardened mindset to that type of work !

[1TruPatriot]

I would love to have that "vibrating bowl" to clean a lot of brass casings!!!!

[1891VIC]

Interesting video bro ; )

[Nipplehook]

Wish they showed same attention to detail and quality in car manufacturing once more.

[gamerdude141]

If they make a TTi with super tool 300 pilers it would be perfect

[SmokeyCough]

I lost my Super Tool 300.. Fuck my life...

[Rebonetime]

My daughter gave me a Leatherman about 15 yrs ago & it is one of my prized knives. That it is a fine tool is apparent, but the icing on the cake is the company stands behind their knives 100%! My son-in-law broke the saw blade & I sent it back for repair. They returned it in less than 10 days completely refurbished! I had a new knife again. THAT my friends defines a great company with a great product.

[johnmonk66]

Leatherman needs to get ahead of the curve instead of behind. They were still using 440 steel when others used better steel, now finally they are too. We need a leatherman style with a mini saw.

[TV843]

I've had a Wave since my time in the Forest Service (2001) and LOVE the thing. It's one of the highest quality things I've ever owned. Stays in my car and travels with me everywhere. You cannot go wrong with a Leatherman.

[StrangerKXH]

Robot arms are creepy as hell, they're almost human like.

[scstxr]

Thats why I dont mind paying 70 bucks for a wave.

[sixinafour]

I have NO ISSUE with paying the asking price

knowing that the product is USA made !!

OUTSTANDING PRODUCT !!!!!!!

[deadz74]

one of the few who make stuff in the good oll us of a i been using these tool for more than ten years and my best claim , removing a wheel safety nuts with a letterman sideclip . 140lbs of torq on this little pair pf plier

[dougie159753]

the work of a Leatherman ''is never ready'' =)

[BipChannel]

I have been with my leatherman wave for more than a year and a half, and you forgot to say in the end that also emergency peopole use it, i am a paramedic from israel, it has helped me countless times...

[hypersonicdragon]

i have noticed that on the site,Charge al.. it says "if you could only take one tool to a desert island"..i speak from experience in saying this that you will have little/NO use for an awesome PLIERS,wire cutters,bits on a desert island/{mangrove or in the bush}! You'll use the Knife and Saw!

-Like most Leathermans/similar Pliers based multi-tools is more Electrical/Mechanical type...more/definitely for Urban Jungle,than the real one. Given this it's still an outstanding Pliers multi-tool!

[hypersonicdragon]

wow,i'm seeing alot of Victorinox haters,i like both leatherman & victorinox...here..lol

For full size multi tools i'll go for Leatherman like the wave,{needs a chisel though}!

For "pocket size" tools i'll go for the Victorinox swiss army,it IS better Built & of higher quality than the Juice series{unless a pocket pliers is key for my purchase,then its the S2}.

for key chain it's the micra!

Leatherman is more mechanical/electrical,it's for the urban jungle not the real one!

[NiMNice]

Leatherman is #1

[TheAbotbol1234]

no wonder they have such a good knifes how many work!

[Alaskatooregon]

i hate swiss army knives. leatherman ftw! There knives are SO sharp. I have accidently cut my thumb up with a kick about 5 times before and i never know it until minutes later when i see it. i love leatherman you just have to be careful around the blades that dont lock because they have a lot of retention to stay open making it hard to close

[wildoscar416]

i lost my leatherman on the beach...anybody found one..?

[hdtwentyn8]

I found my Leatherman on vacation! I had been putting off buying one for years, and there it was on the beach. I was so happy that I actually had my girlfriend take pictures of me holding it afterward. I love your product, and look forward to BUYING my next one!

[allan2098]

Just got a wave and the scissors part broke at the handle area when first opened. Must be a manufacture defect. Sent off two weeks ago....

The rest of the tool seemed nice but I hope this was a 'one off' or I will be geting my moneys worth from their warranty dept

[CE750]

I just bought the Damascus Wave, what a work of art! I am not happy about parts coming from Mexico, but these are still for the most part US Made.. Sad about the walmart effect, I agree.. it's a crime against America. Small business and workers alike being hurt by it.

[MixelArtsStudios]

VICTORINOX beats the heck out of leatherman. And 400 level stainless is not so good it be considered about.

[zerk54]

I played with the Victorinox and Leatherman before I bought my Wave. The Victorinox felt kind of crappy. I was not impressed at all.

[MixelArtsStudios]

u suck, victorinox is so guaranteed that they will send u another knife and fix the old one if it has a manufacturing defult. post an upload

[Hervorragend604]

I love my Juice XE6. I don't like going anywhere whithout it. My Surge is very nice, too, but just a bit too big and heavy to use as an EDC, for me, at least. I just need a good Leatherman for my keys, and I'd like to get a Charge TTi to use as a more robust, heavy-duty EDC. Once I have those, then I'll be ready.

[blork5]

Leatherman has a good multitool but the one from Victorinox is better.

[pwnyoubitch]

at least they didn't move production to China like Gerber did.

[aguswidjaja]

@pwnyoubitch Dude, many parts of Leatherman tools are made in China. They just don't want to let you know. There are many loopholes to go about calling which is the manufacturing country. BTW, I have k bar and Spiderco knives, they are excellent, and they are made in China.

[0oSiLveRo0]

@aguswidjaja

Spyderco knives are made in Japan , Seiki-City...

Only the Byrd models are chinese and those are the budget version.

[GMGvanS]

@0oSiLveRo0 Japan, China and the USA. Knives made out of CPM S30V from the USA, VG10 from Japan and the 8cr13mov from China (not only Byrd knives, also the high value linup from Spyderco, the Ambitious, Persistence, Tenacious and Resilience.)

[hansmikkelsen]

@pwnyoubitch but gerber is good anyway

[BigWhiskeyEveryday]

I love leatherman. at all times i have a Charge AL on my belt, a crater c33l in my pocket, and a squirt on my keys

[JigzyDa1st]

I love my leatherman charge TTi.

[cc72666]

Carry more than one at all times.

[xtremeadesign]

me too a Wave and a crunch. one in the belt and one in the bag

[sinsofvorador]

leatherman is the best and only multitool on the market. i have a surge wave and crunch . and all of then are awesome in there on way

[JESTERFISH1]

i could not be without my leatherman wave absolutly essential i use it everyday without exception

[gtspyder]

sweet!! how much would a charge TTi cost though?

[sinsofvorador]

there not to bad in cost . but the surge is a better tool . its bigger and a little tougher . inless you want something smaller .

[dungchewer]

I dunno, K-mart sells them how good could they be honestly? Mass produced by the billions doesn't make something good.

And I want a tour of the Mexico factory where they make the plier heads the most important part and it comes from Mexico.

I bet that happened so Leatherman can lower the costs to make Walmart and others happy. Just google the Walmart effect and ask yourself how long until Leathermans are utter garbage.

If you don't think it's coming, you must be blind.

[zerk54]

Very true. I don't understand why this comment has thumbs down.

[archerLS]

just orderd a charge TTi. cant wait till i get it!

[tanque71]

I have my good old Wave (10 years or so) and the 25th anniversary Wave is on the way...YESSSSSSS!!! next mission: a Skeletool :P

[sinsofvorador]

have you tried a surge . its the same as the wave but bigger . the big different is the surge can change the file with a saw and the scissors are bigger and on the outside

[NallePu83]

I have a Leatherman Surge and Leatherman 25th anniversary Wave :-D

[NallePu83]

Leatherman is great!

[888zzz]

rock on!!!!!!!!!

[mecrazy5]

some people say that the leatherman blades are poor quality because they have a 2mm edge bevel, those people have bent cocks

[IndyFishing]

@mecrazy5 bwahahaha!!! I love that! thumbs up!

[sarelle500gr]

@mecrazy5 bent cocks? bwahahahahahaha

[archer1232]

I have a leatherman Fuse. I love it.

[lithaine]

I have their c300, just a normal knife but i like it allot, gonna save up for one of their multitools but damn their pricy lol

[fanjapanischermusik]

wow! my leatherman was made by robots and fat americans!!!!!!!!

[TersamS]

i totally agree

[hockeyphuck]

I love my leatherman even more now!

being a tool maker myself, I can really appreciate all the attention to detail.

All the tooling required to make these is really incredible
