Got myself a Charge ALX today.

I have a theory that the 'X' stands for 'Extra Driver', being the difference between the AL and the ALX, like the XTi and Ti. I guess AL-S (- scissors) wasn't as catchy!

Dave, I always thought the "X" stood for cutting hook..

Edit: this is what made me come to that conclusion: "The Leatherman Charge ALX swaps out the Charge AL scissors for an aggressive cutting hook on the back of the serrated blade."

Then the TTi should be a TTiX, no?

No offence ment, but sometimes people get rooked.

rooked?

Look at the XTi and the Ti.. It's the same thing..

Yeah - the X has an extra bit driver. How does 'X' translate to 'Hook'? Surely they would have used 'H', like HTi and ALH?

I don't know! I'll shoot LM an email; they usually get back to me quickly! Wait, I'll call them! They are three hours behind, so it's only three there! I'll let you know!

maybe ALX has more "punch" that the ALH .....a lot of things sounds better when you trow a X on their names: buck X-track, skeletool CX, etc, etc...

[Leatherman123]

Well, the rep had no idea!
