Leatherman SIDEKICK / WINGMAN Owners Club

[New_World]

i just tightened mine and it was fine.

you could take the clip off and bend it inward if it was bent.

Been a Wingman owner for about a month and I must say I am impressed. I am use to lugging around an ST 300 and this is quite nice. Had my first build with it the other day.

It a "rattlesnake" for an envelope my wife wanted one for her friends Cmas gift.

Got my wingman, then bought 3 others as gifts for people who never have had a MT before.  The wingman is incredible value for the money.  For $25 you get a Swisstool-like MT with a high polish finish, an interesting clamshell opener, a great knife/scissors outside opening combo and a slim MT that clips unobtrusively in your pocket.  I carry this as a light duty EDC when I am just hanging around and don't want a full size tool.  The only flaw to the tool is the shape, the pliers don't open wide enough and your hands slide up the to the end of the tool along the curved underside.  I have tried engraving some patterning to stop the sliding but it doesn't help much hence I classify this as middle duty.  To crank away on that rusted shower head you'll still need your ST300.  Overall it is still a 9/10 for a middle duty MT.

I have one of each, and I also gifted one of each. Pretty decent tools for the money.

I just had a thought  , The Wingman/Sidekick are just like Spyderco's Tenacious. So many people get a Tenacious & think "wow what a great knife for the $" & end up buying more Spyderco's.

A great low risk(financially)purchase that gets customers through the door so to speak. .

Me I have a Tenacious & find myself eyeing off a Carbon Fibre Sage

Yes Leatherman have got their heads screwed on alright , and the tools is perfectly usable too .I'm still carrying and using mine .

I just got my Wingman today at sears.  Paid 30.00 out the door.  I was very excited as I had been looking for a tool with spring loaded pliers with a pocket clip and decent drivers.  While the tool has everything I want it has a TON of play in it.  If I close the and grab one handle with one hand and the other handle with the other hand and jiggle the handles there's probably a 16th of a inch of movement.  Theres also a decent amount of forward play in the blade.  Going to take it back next time I'm at the mall

I finally received my Sidekick.

Just picked up the Wingman and I love it. The blade is razor sharp, and I was able to shave my arm with it. Surprisingly my favorite tool on it, is the package open. I don't know why but I have fun with the little thing. Here is an idea I have and please let me know if you think it will work.
I really dislike the the scissors on my wave, and the fact i have to open the tool to get to them. I edc a style cs which I believe have the best scissors of any LM product I've used. I want to edc the wingman and I want to  keep my wave in my jeep or carry when camping. Since I really dont need the scissors on the wingman due to the style, I'm thinking of swapping the file on the wave for the scissors on my wingman.  I love the idea of scissors on the exterior of the wave, and the diamond file is my favorite tool on it. I would love to edc the file on my wingman. Do you guys think this mod is possible?

I don't see a way to install the scissors in your Wave's file pocket without having to remove the thumb pad.

I picked a Wingman up in March. I guess i never noticed this thread until it bumped up back toward the top.

Overall, for the price, the Wingman is a pretty good tool. As blade and scissors are the two tools I use most often, it's selection and placement of tools is pretty nice.

My first post.  I recently purchased a Wingman, and for the money, I think it is an excellent tool.  I really like the easy access to the knife blade and scissors.
