It does make me love my old ptx 154cm piranha more

[JAfromMn]

The piranha 1 is not listed on Leatherman's web site anymore.

 I prefer the original piranha design.

So the top one is the LM flat bit driver and the bottom one the 1/4? Why?

So what did they do to change it again?

[Kampfer]

Being more versatile, it can drive LM's large selection of 2 dimensional bits in addition to normal hex bits.

Seen like the new added slot will hold the bits in place during usage, which is a improvement.

[sir_mike]

I didnt see that much improvement to warrant me picking one up, unless it was only about $15 bucks but not at $35.

I will stick with the original and the Croc (havent used it yet though)

[Kampfer]

I am perfectly happy with Croc, which was free when I bought a Sidekick.

[rdub934]

SWEET! I was really hoping they would make the piranha compatible with the leatheran bits.

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

Today I Like it.

I'm going to have to try get myself one.

the Leatherman bit holder is the reason I got to try it.

[Sazabi]

I definitely have a concern with the new design; wasn't the nail puller in the S30V and 154CM versions dropped because it made the one box wrench too prone to breaking?  Isn't this just making the problem much more likely, with the flat bit driver and the loop-looking bit, than the nail puller on the original design?

This iS Exactly their intension

[Mr. Whippy]

Ugh.  I think I'll have to get one.   

I broke an early generation PTX Piranha.  I fear that open wrench is going to suffer from this update.

That's my main fear as well. I think the early generation you broke was some über steel version though, to hard ==> crack.

[ironraven]

YOU MANIACS! YOU SCREWED IT UP! OH, DAMN YOU!

Does that sum up my reaction well?

[Grant Lamontagne]

I don't know if I like it or not.  I suppose I don't have any real issues with it, other than me being resistant to change, but I really do wonder if they haven't removed just a bit too much metal from the wrench end.

Either way I am looking forward to trying it out.

[n4vgm]

Is it also supposed to be a pocket dangler with the long cutout? Or is it just a tensioner to hold the bits in.   

[Grant Lamontagne]

I thought the same thing, but yeah, I think it is for holding the bit, not as a pocket clip.

I imagine lots of people will use it for that and break them.

[n4vgm]

It also doesn't appear to be very comfortable as a pocket clip.   

[Chako]

The original Piranha didn't last long. I wonder how many they made of those before deciding to update the tool to version 2.

Email that picture to Leatherman so they can see their error in time

Bob, it would be handy to have a professional metal worker's opinion on this.  As a machinist, do you think there is enough metal there to stand up to regular use, or do you legitimately see that happening?

[Chako]

That does not look all that promising. Lucky for me, it will be a shelf queen whenever I get one.

Truth be told, I don't know. There is certainly a potential weak point there, but the Piranha itself is short enough that it self-limits the amount of force that can be applied. Bottom line, we will just have to trust that the Leatherman engineers fully tested it before starting production.
