Help Pick Next Leatherman
« on: September 25, 2009, 09:58:22 PM »
I'm going to get another Leatherman multitool and I'm undecided of which one to get.  I thought I would see what other members would get if in the same circumstances.  Yeah, yeah.........I know......"All of them".  That would be nice but it's not my reality.  I have a few in mind that are at the top of my list for "next Leatherman", singular.  The front runners are:  Crunch, Charge AL, Sideclip, Pulse, Flair and Original Super Tool.  Here are the Leatherman's I own now:

PST
Mini-Tool
Original Wave
Charge TTi
Kick
New Wave
Surge
Core
Super Tool 300
Skeletool
FreeStyle
FreeStyle CX
Juice S2 (Blast Orange)
Juice S2 (Storm Grey)
Squirt P4 (Storm Grey)
Squirt E4 (Storm Grey)

I don't want a Pocket Tool or a Keychain Tool.  Obviously the current production models, Crunch & Charge AL, will be easier and cheaper to get.  I'm leaning toward the Crunch but I would find any opinions interesting.  Thanks

That's a toughy.

The Crunch seems to be the one you don't have anything similar too - the others are all a variation on what you have, so that's what I'd go for I think.

I second the Crunch. Mine is fast becoming my favourite besides the Wave.

I'd go for one of the old school Leatherman's myself ('cos I like them) so I'm going to say Pulse or original Supertool.  I don't think you'd be unhappy with either of those as they both still stand up well in comparison to other tools IMO.

PS Pulse has to be my favourite tool outside of SAKs. :)

Anyone else notice Pulses are getting harder to find/more expensive? It is one of the "must haves" for any collection and a fine user too.  I do fancy a Supertool 200.

Eventually your'll have them all, so why not the Crunch or the Pulse to start with..? :)

The Crunch is an amazing tool and I find myself carrying it more and more.  I say that and the sideclip.
