If you could get Leatherman to make or keep a tool

[Heinz Doofenshmirtz]

I'd like to see the S2 redesigned so it has a small philips in it, instead of the flathead redundancy it's currently burdened with.  Screw and socket-bolt construction instead of riveted, like how their other tools are made, would be nice too.  I mean, they use bolted construction on the CS and PS; why can't they do it on the Juices as well fer cryin' out loud!!!

I'd like to see a customizable tool available as well.  I think the Wingman/Sidekick would be the perfect tool to do it with as well since it doesn't have locking tools.  Offer the plier head and frame and a set of options so you could choose between CE and PE blades, scissors, file, etc.  Mix and match plain stainless or black components, and offer higher end versions of the tools, like CM154, VG10, or S30V etc. for the blades and saws, and 5154 or D2 for other tools, etc.

+1 for the C.U.T

no scissors for me but interchangable metal/wood blade, plus awl.
And a bigger selection of bits

More knifeless options for combining with a SAK and for places knives aren't allowed.

Something with locking drivers and slip jointed blades for the UK market

I would like to see leatherman create a locking system for their pliers. Stay with me now. Gerber (on thier sliders) has the benefit of being able to open the pliers when they get stuck closed. You know when you cut some stranded wire with a well used Vic or LM and strands get caught in the cutters, you go to open them and all you get is the handles spreading. Non of the butterfly style multis, SOG being the exception (I believe anyways I don't have a pair of compound leveragers yet) have any "opening power". The problem I have with the Gerber and SOG design is the inability to open them lengthwise to use as a screwdriver. I always use my drivers like this (as pictured). Picture the spirit with the same locking mechanism mirrored on the plier head end. Or show me the pliers head that doesn't develop play after hard use rendering said wire cutting performance poopy. Give me spreading power!

Absolutely! I needed some spreading power yesterday and just ended up shutting my charge's handles on my finger.

Awesome idea, nothing worse than pliers getting stuck!
I wouldn't mind seeing LM's take on sliding pliers.  If they have sold this long for Gerber, they can't be all bad!

+1 I'd like to see a knifeless version of most LM tools. I always have a SAK and don't need the redundancy.
