Welcome bud! Pretty awesome job IMO.Question, are yall making the Tread in house? I would assume so?
Here is a loaded question, what do you carry?
Take a look at the Signal. It's kind of like a Wave crossed with a MUT.
We have, there us a thread here all about it but I can't post a link.I'm not sure how happy you'll be with our opinions....I'm excited for it. It will be easily modded lol
When you are hired at Leatherman, there is a two day long orientation where they also give you multiple tools that you may do what you want with. This is the best company I've worked for, and not just because they give us free tools. Lol
Weeellll..... I for one will say I think the Signal is a waste of time the way it sits. It has so much potential, but is ruined by all the plastic crap, sharpener, and fire starter. All I can say for the Signal is at least its not the Tread. Now that is just a joke. I'm not trying to be a Leatherman hater, but it's kind of hard not to with their decisions in the recent years. Dont forget the Skeletool SX, Juice SX, all the action sports crap, and most recently the Rev. A whole lot of crap being produced. Sorry for the negativity, but its just my opinion. I really do wish Leatherman the best and will carry their tools no matter what, but the terrible production decisions mixed with their increased prices and dropping quality control makes me think. This is no way reflects you or anything like that and I do not want you to think we just go around bashing Leatherman every chance we get. This is a very friendly forum and we keep everything respectable.
I just want to say Andrew, I hope you don't get turned off by any comments made here. We're passionate about our tools, and through daily use, know what we want, and what we like/dislike.
I'm a little confused by all the Signal hatred. I personally love the look of it and plan on getting one to replace my Skeletool. The whistle/fire starter and sharpener are all removable, so if you don't like them, then just take them off. That eliminates all the plastic.As far as the Tread goes, let me just say wait until you have seen one in person to pass judgement. It is very cool and as long as you aren't trying to compare it to a "normal" multitool, it is very capable. Lots of cool stuff that isn't really distinguishable just from pictures.And I meant do what we want with them in that they are our tools, not just loaners or something.
