Swiss+Tech 18-in-1 Initial Impressions
A first look at the Swiss+Tech 18-in-1 multitool. Is it a Leatherman Wave clone? Yes, but with a few features the Wave does not have, and with an interesting bead blasted finish. For less than $40 shipped, this multitool is probably worth considering for EDC.

Leatherman Wire Cutters Under the Scope
Переглядів 1,8 тис.7 місяців тому
Joe puts a optical comparator to work analyzing some measurements off the Leatherman wire cutters. The geometry of these replaceable tools was altered in 2021/2022 and were finally noticing. In the aftermath of wire cutters binding up plier heads and even breaking during reasonable use we hope that Leatherman will address the issue. In the meantime, let’s take a close up view of these cutters t...
I Was Wrong. My New Hard Wire Cut Technique and Attempt at Wire Stripping
Переглядів 7 тис.7 місяців тому
Joe finally got tired of reading “you’re doing it wrong, move the wire up”. He decided to do something about it, like, try cutting a wire that way. Will this simple technique revive the Leatherman Arc’s reputation? Or do the weird redesigns on Leatherman’s cutters simply generate more questions than answers? And what about the bitch as a built-in wire stripper? You can see more close up video o...

Leatherman Arc Review
Переглядів 12 тис.7 місяців тому
Joe gives his thoughts on the new for 2023 Leatherman Arc Multitool. It’s based on the Free series magnetic platform that Leatherman also featured in the Free and T series tools. The tools operate smoothly, but there are exceptions. Do you think this tool is worth the $230 USD price tag?
Leatherman Arc Pliers Broken by Coat Hanger Wire
Переглядів 8 тис.8 місяців тому
Joe shows how the notch in the wire cutters in the new Leatherman Arc multi tool is a disappointment and doesn’t belong on a premium tool, especially because Leatherman does not disclose this modification to the Free series Multitool platform anywhere on their packaging. These tools used to cut concrete nails and now coat hanger wire will destroy their function.

    If you’re going to try and do a review at least cover everything like the innovative and very effective catch for holding bits tight which would have wiped out your mediocre response to the bit holder! Then what you called the ‘gut hook’ is indeed a parcel opener. And a seat belt cutter. The slot in the file is to assist opening. You’re really not doing a thorough job. 2/10 - must try harder. Were Leatherman bit kits 2 dimensional like you said they wouldn’t work at all. This is really not good enough.

    OMG, thank you so much for posting this!!!! I could not figure out how to close that darn knife and all those other tools back into the handle!!!! LOL I was going with force but then I gave up, too worried it would cut my finger off. I had it all exposed in the drawer wrapped in leather to eliminate cut injury in a case I forgot what I had in the drawer and just started going through stuff and uh-oh - sliced my finger! You saved me :-)

    I use this ink. I had not realized it was waterproof. Good to know. I'll be more likely to use it for envelopes. However, it *is* on the purple side, which I put up with. . No shading as you could see in this review. My bottle still feathers on some papers, so small cursive isn't as precise. My blue X-Feather is used here in an FPR (Fountain Pen Revolution) Himalaya (V#1) with FPR's #5 UltraFlex.

    It has that little opening because people when they cut the hanger wire it flys off and has hit people in the eye so it’s a safety feature so u can just bend off the rest it’s smart . Stop complaining it may save one of your eyes one day . The arc is better than all tools I have them all it’s not even close . Best tool on the market .

  • @predator7334
    @predator7334 12 днів тому

    The "gap" are wire strippers not a fault in the design. You simply put the coat hanger wire in the centre of the cutters and not in the hole. You are simply not using it correctly. This tool has plyers, wire cutters, wire strippers and a crimp tool all in one. You dont know what you are talking about. Edit: spelling

    My cutters that came on a 2023 Surge broke on a wire thinner than that coat hanger. I have no idea how that happened. I thought they were supposed to bend if anything, that's why they switched from 154cm cutters, but mine not only bent but created a fracture that had the chip fall out when I swabbed out the bit of rust from the old wire I had to cut. This was a test & they were not used before. This blew me away.

    The "gut hook" thing is a package opener. powerlitre is also great. Both tools need a wood saw, so I have to figure that out with t-shank jigsaw blades in the bit driver.

  • @LyK0sa
    @LyK0sa 14 днів тому

    It's a flaw of a particular batch of cutters, not the tool itself. As such, it's an issue that can be found with any model with replaceable cutters. My brand new surge came with cutters with the exact same flaw, which is annoying, but not the end of the world since it gave me an excuse to mod some EOD cutters to fit (I have no need for hard wire cutting)

    I have the Bibury version - probably made in the same factory. It's a big, beefy, chonky boy, and seems to be pretty well made. I think the use of non-proprietary (and not terribly difficult to find) bits is a big plus. Home Depot sells a Husky brand screwdriver that uses them, and Walmart sells a Hart brand screwdriver that does as well.

    A good alternative to this if you're out in the field and don't have the diamond paste is to soak your Leatherman in diesel fuel...... Doesn't take long, just pour some in a jar or cut the top off of a pop bottle and drop it in..... I guess there is just enough oil in diesel fuel to clean every millimeter of the tool even in between the tools.... The plier head will work smooth as silk again. Just dry it off with a rag and go for it....... WD40 and Blaster attract dirt particles and are not the best thing to use in a pinch......

    CenterDrive, does everything I need it too. I am open to the SOG, it may end up in one of my kits. I haven’t used Leatherman in years. Ever since I found out they were lying about their products being made in the USA, they ended up in a lawsuit over it too. You can say whatever you want about Gerber, but when they stamp U.S.A on a product, they aren’t lying.
