PocketToolX tools now officially on Leatherman's website.

[Mr. Whippy]

They are all now laser etched with Leatherman but they maintain their PocketTool X tool name.

Welcome Leatherman Piranha!

[Stormdrane]

I got the email too, but didn't see any pricing info on them...

[Max Archer]

Leatherman missed the oxygen wrench on the Brewzer!

It's going to be weird to see a Piranha with Leatherman stamped on it.

[captain spaulding]

I just want one already...........


Hope there not ridiculously priced though.

I think $30 is too much for a steel one piece tool. I mean, a Wingman costs less than that! I could understand if it were made of something like titanium.

BTW, does anyone know out of what kind of steel they are making the Piranha? Just says "stainless steel" on the Leatherman site.

The Piranha started out in S30V for one brief run, then changed to 154CM, and is currently now 440C, I believe.

[Edit:  It might actually be 420HC, not 440C. ]

[captain spaulding]

Thats just dissapointing.   

[Sazabi]

I thought that at first, but the "downgrade" of steel actually makes the wrenches more usable; while S30V and 154CM make good blades, they apparently aren't quite as good as the "lesser" steels in terms of functionality.  I do miss the other, now-discontinued PTX tools, though. :/

I Have a SS and a BO (smoke) 440 steel ones and they are awesome. I kind of wish some of the inside corners were sharper.

I hadn't thought of that. Good point. However, I still think $30 is too much for a one piece tool.

I guess you've not yet seen some of the prices of Atwood tools, then.

I have, and I won't be purchasing any Atwoods anytime soon. They look pretty cool though.

[Grant Lamontagne]

It's not just Atwoods that cost a lot.  Robot Tools were (if I recall) about $67, the Flud P38.5 I think cost me $60.  There are some others in that neighborhood as well, which is what makes the $20 Raker Ring Tool and $30 Piranha excellent bargains.  TBH, I am not terribly impressed with the Robot Tool although I never handled it, and the P38.5 I have is virtually useless.  It mangles the crap out of cans and you'll die of thirst before managing to open a bottle with it, and titanium is a really crappy metal for the screwdriver ends.... but then I suppose no one is actually expected to use these things.   

I'll keep my sub $5 Navy tool thank you very much.

I'm glad that Leatherman made the move. I can't wait until the LM branded Brewzer's hit the market. As much as I hat to say it, Atwoods are getting really expensive. I'm carrying a smoke Brewzer right now and I love it. I just hope that LM doesn't jack up the price on the Brewzer's...
