Really nice, sure wish I could wear something like that, I would get one in a second!must resist
I say try it out or send it on a pass around starting with me...
The other day I was at Cabela's and they had a Tread on the display case. I looked at it and thought who on earth would want such a large ugly thing.

(Unless it was free )It looked too big for my wrist (I tend to remove watch links, now that I think about that seems like a big problem with the idea). And I am not big on wearing any jewelry beyond a lapel pin. Also I am only slowly getting over not liking Leatherman.

But then I am more interested in who is the user then owning one myself. Are they actually using them? Are they jewelry that someone thinks is manly, but never used? Or are they doomed to a to never be worn because their attractiveness wears off after being bought and/or worn?
Good score Poncho! I wasnt takin by the Tread in the beginning. But it is trying to appeal to me now.
Sorry just saw how much these things cost

I am just sort of shocked that Leatherman would try something so far out of the box at a price that out strips the rest of the MT market.
It is different it was certainly designed to be "out there". I'm ok with LM pushing the boundaries of what a MT is. I'm actually very good with them doing it. Sure they can "improve" existing tools but many mod theirs anyways. I'd like to see them try to keep costs down but with a tool like that I'm not sure how they do it .I would like them produce more random things. Just cause the make it don't mean I got to buy it. I think it keeps them forward thinking and fresh. Thats a least my 2c.
I just blew about that much gambling. At least you have an ugly bracelet and a few driver bits that you will never use to show for it.
I have a Tread. I got it in the first week they were available, from Cabelas, where they were only available from for the first few weeks.I wear it every day at work, and frequently when I'm not at work, too. But I don't wear it around the house.
