Interesting, a headlamp with a cool 'looking' Fuse. Which headlamp model was it?

I might not be a Fan of the Leatherman Line like I used too...(I am very pleases with my Swisstool),but I really like the Concept of an Orange Tool with a Durable Finish..As a Driver I have no idea how many times I have used a Multi Tool on the side of the road somewhere in less tha favorable conditions..As in the Dark and of course Snow while making an Emergency repair to keep rolling. I have had a few "Oh Crap" moments scrambling to locate my Multi where the Orange Color would have been a Godsend..Please ask Leatherman if they would sit down with some Truck Drivers and design a Multi just for Us..There is a whole lot of us folks out here travelling up and down the Highways day in and day out...

Great points there D :salute:  I wonder if they can do one in Glow In The Dark? 8)

I would love to have a Dialougue with Tim Leatherman or an Engineer..A few subtle changes and the addition of what I feel would be a Driver Friendly Sheath System and I feel he would have a hit..but I am just a lowly Driver..But one of thousands lol

Forgive me for throwing a bucket of cold water on the orgy, but I have a techno question.  Remember the problem the Red REI skeletools had when the paint started chipping off?

Was that problem recified with these new Fuses?? :think:

We certainly hope so. :P




The folks at Leatherman tell us that these tools will be given a cera-kote finish, which has a reputation as being much more tough and durable than ordinary paint. However, that being said, it wasn't clear to me if the colored Skeletools were also done in cera-kote...? ???

Yikes - that's not a pretty picture Bob  :o I think with all coatings the key to it will be the key  :P

If they spray the standard polished finish expect one result, and if they bead blast it first expect another. It'll be more a test of adherence rather than the coating itself I'd imagine  :)

Cerakote is a baked on ceramic finish, similar to Vitreous enamel but done at much lower temperatures.
