Leatherman SIDEKICK / WINGMAN Owners Club

Just got a Wingman today, can I join the club? 

I like this inexpensive little tool so far.  However, I need to tune up the blade a bit.  There are some burrs on the back side of the serrations that need attention.  I like how you can poke the alternate tools from the backside, if your nails are not long enough to get under the little notches for deploying.

Me as well. I tightened mine down to get rid of blade play so they are tough to open but your trick works well.

Just picked up a WM from Home Depot last week, got it out of the packaging and think if I tried to sell it today, I would have a hard time convincing someone that it was brand new. This has the look of a refurbished tool.

I'm in the club, got my sidekick from Amazon about a week or so ago. Ironically my favorite part is the carabiner. Otherwise I just like the polished finish it has. The play in the blade is unsettling to me, the wire cutters don't seem to close all the way, much less overlap like on all my other Leatherman tools, and overall the tool doesn't seem very sturdy.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the tool. I just don't want to like it. I'm a quality snob.

Got the wingman like it for the price.  I stuck on  only carrying MT's with tools on the out side.  I keep my Charge on my duty belt and my Wingman in a pouch on my tac-vest.   I have not got he Sidekick yet but it's on list,  just checked eBay only $33 shipped not bad.

Got a wingman in hand, and a Sidekick on the way. I like the spring loaded pliers, more than I thought I would.

Surprisingly, Im really liking the feel of the wingman over the wave.
The fact that the blades stick out when closed on the wave, makes it way less comfortable than the wingman. Im thinking about lego'ing the 3, into my ideal EDC MT.

I was intrigued by the 3bearnecesseties youtube video.
I am really interested in getting a bit driver in the wingman.

My question is, will I be able to fit the philips and flat head drivers from the wingman into the wave?
Id hate to have a totally useless (more expensive) tool laying around.
I sure wish LM would sell the individual pieces!!

I have a Wingman and particularly like the package opener. However, a little bit of lubricant seems to sometimes leak out of the plier joint, which bugs me slightly.

I just noticed the Leatherman name is not stamped into the plier head. Is this the case with all Wingmans?

its to save on cost to make the wingman as cheap as it is.

Picked up this comba pack today.  Liking the wingman so far, Spring action for the pliers is nice.  So is the package opener.  Its not a wave but i was not expecting it to be
