Next purchase. Fuse , Pulse or Blast?
« on: September 17, 2006, 03:52:37 AM »
The Fuse has the one-at-a-time blade selection but not the tools selection the other two have. I want the one with the most quality craftsmanship. Can anyone tell me about theirs?

I had the Fuse for a while and then traded up to the Blast for the greater tool selection. I think it's a really good tool. It feels sturdy and well built. The tools don't clump together like past Leathermans when you pull one out. The handles are comfortable when using the pliers. When using the screw drivers there is hardly any flex in the handles. All and all I have very pleased with mine.

Oddly enough, I don't have any of these ones...  Looks like in order to help out my fellow Multitool.org member I am going to have to go out and buy each of them...

So the Fuse and the Blast both have the one-at-a-time blade selection ? I did not see that on the advertisements. Big plus!

So does the Fuse and Blast have the same handle quality and the only difference besides the tools is the 9 oz of weight?

I have a LM Kick. Is this the same frame as the fuse and blast?

Except for handle thickness, the Kick/Fuse/Blast are all the same size.

I'm somewhat of a maximalist, so I prefer the Blast.
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Think of it this way

PST=KICK
PST II = FUSE WITH LOCKING IMPLEMENTS
PULSE=BLAST

I like the blast the best of the three "original style" Leathermans.......more/bigger is better   ;)

Question.... does the Kick have the same loose opening of the Wave, or is it tight like the Swiss tool?  I'm asking because I notice the screw where the pocketclip is attached on the Kick is on the BOTTOM of the handle... the part that opens, and if it's a loose opening tool, or a one handed opening tool like the wave, that pocketclip ain't worth a damn since it will always open in your pocket.  I got one for the Wave, and it is a pain in the keister because g4ravity itself just opens it up.  If it was tight, it would stay closed.  What's up?
