Leatherman LEAP - The next Leatherman multitool!

[Smashie]

I saw earlier today that Cabelas have them for preorder $49.99

Balls! That means £50 in the UK!

Not that I'm over interested in one,but that'll be mad money here

PSSST $1.70 to the pound at the moment, order it from the USA

TBH I'd rather another PST,or a Rebar...

Well, at least they're keeping to their MSRP.  The whole preorder thing, does that mean they could actually be on track for August/September??  It couldn't be...could it?     Yipes.

hopefully they're still on track for Aug/Sept... I was in the LM retail store earlier this week and saw no sign of them.

I agree that's about the weakest blade tang I've ever seen on a mutitool relative to blade size. As such, probably a very inappropriate design for inexperienced knife users (kids). Another example that Leatherman's primary focus is a good profit rather than a good product. They'd better make A LOT of spares ready for warranty replacements, and get their legal team on standby for injury claims.

I'll stick to my original assessment that this should be called the FACEPLANT rather than the LEAP

Remember this is to get the kids involved into Multitool carry and use.  these children are not going to carve a 2x4 with this blade ( maybe cut a piece of string or an apple .. Such as what children will do )  so I keep an open mind about its use it would be something great for a young one to have and carry just like DAD !!!!

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ......

Am I the only one that sees this as the continuation of the Gerberfication of Leatherman.   

Still need one or more when they do come out though.

[captain spaulding]

Just figured I would confirm this. I got the Catalog today and the Leap's blade will be permanently fixed once installed. I assume its a safety feature.

[rdub934]

So when is this bad boy being released? I thought it was an August release - and it's August. Lol

[Syph007]

Unless it comes with a junior welder kit... if the blade snaps on I bet it can be snapped off. 

[Chako]

Traditionally, Leatherman tends to release new gear in October/November.

I don't know this website, but saw this last week I think...when looking around to get some idea of when:

http://www.theemsstore.com/store/product.aspx/productId/24598/Leatherman-Leap-Multi-Tool-for-the-Beginner/?gclid=CIzOjMiR-78CFbFDMgodvzMAMA

It states "3 weeks", but perhaps that's just over-enticing wishful thinking.  It's a great price, but then they want $8.99 shipping.  I believe Cabela's had it on their site - and though I haven't checked today, I think they've since removed it.

   Make of that what you will [and if you can make something of that, I'd like to buy you a cigar...].

[Lynn LeFey]

Thanks, Kukamunga.

I filled in their 'e-mail me when it's in stock' form.

We'll see what happens.

[Kukamunga]

Hooray!  I did something useful today [finally]...er, yesterday actually.

Why does this pic remind me of those cheep and ugly multi-tools you see in $2 shops? 

It must be the lighting, for sure

Yes & yes.

[Nhoj]

I think the leap is a good idea. It will guarantee Leatherman future business and get new people using multitools.

Even the new Juice line guarantees LM business, just not 'good' business. I'm not getting my hopes up on this one either

So...you'll be purchasing one of each color, then??  An online review [the first] too much to look forward to??

I want one just to take apart.    I have no desire to keep one for the collection.

I saw it on the website just a few minutes ago.

49.85

A little pricey for me to buy as a gift to kid.
Although
 video games cost more so  it's probably worth it .

That's just MSRP. Should come in at around $35. Not to bad in my opinion.

20.00-25.00 would be better

Most definitely. I was just thinking if it where in the $20-$25 range I would be more inclined to buy it as a gift for the young ones.

Hahaha, fail! They have the nail-nick on the small screwdriver labelled as the cap lifter! Delightful

Maybe it's both.

looks very small to lift caps.

So does the cap lifter on the P4, but it works...... Kinda.


I really don't think it is the cap lifter as it would probably be on the flat driver instead, but it is possible it is. It is also possible they mislabeled it as they have done that before.

[captain spaulding]

Actually I know it is miss labeled as the caplifter is on the Philips driver.
