Finally, pliers and scissors on these little tools.

american lockpicker · **Reply #31 on:** November 10, 2009, 08:31:56 PM

I wonder if Leatherman will start producing the other tools we want like all metal versions of Kick, Blast, Fuse and a electrician juice...

Arghh, great...

Yet more "need to have" LM's...

what is the scoope, def?

Leatherman is somewhat upset- this image was not authorized for distribution, and once again, they have a leak somewhere in their network, similar to the Freestyle that showed up on eBay well before the Freestyle was released. They were lucky then, that a Multitool.org member was kind enough to snag that Freestyle, but when info gets out, there's no stopping it.

Fortunately (for LM) this appears to be all that has gotten out, and they are rightly somewhat tight lipped about any details concerning these tools.

So, I would suggest for now at least, drool over the picture and make any assumptions you like, but bear in mind these are likely advanced prototypes and the actual production models, if they make it to that step, may differ from what you see there.

I will of course add any info when the folks at LM see fit to distribute it.

Sounds like good advice.

I do hope that the fine folks at Leatherman will notice the excitement of this group and possibly produce something like the tools shown on that leaked photograph. Mind you, I am in for anything they make for my collection anyways.

Hey Def,

Since you have their ear tell them to put a bit driver on the Freestyle. Please!

That PS4 looks perfect.

I'm going to take that above statement back a little and say that; if they dropped the file for the scissors and kept the awl and small screwdriver, that would be perfect.

Well, I'll be looking forward to the Style/Style CX

RaptorMan · **Reply #41 on:** November 11, 2009, 01:50:20 AM

I would love for all of us to sit in a room with the product engineers and just start drawing ideas.....just a week is all I want. I believe we could come up with tools that would be extremely useful not that the current ones arent.

Since im a newbie im curious, whats the story behind this mysterious ebay freestyle?

What Grant said was pretty much the whole story. Someone on ebay got one ahead of the sale date, stuck it up for auction and someone here bought it.

RaptorMan · **Reply #44 on:** November 11, 2009, 01:53:34 AM

I got a BO ST300 that way!!!

Chako · **Reply #46 on:** November 11, 2009, 02:28:53 AM

Yes, and it ate me alive having to wait quite some time for my 300s.

american lockpicker · **Reply #47 on:** November 11, 2009, 02:32:04 AM

Since Leatherman is obviously reading this... Please drop the "for phillps" screwdriver from the new E4 bring back the old one it was perfect as is. Also don't discontinue the Micra. Its by far the best scissor based multitool.

genevabuck · **Reply #48 on:** November 11, 2009, 02:40:12 AM

Those look like quality scissors.

I agree.

These tools are a prime example of why Leatherman is the leader in multitool research, development, and in meeting customer demands. No other company compares.

I agree and disagree with that statement. I am growing very fond of my Spirit. It has a nice snap feel to it each and every time I open and close all of the tools....the look is easy on the eyes as well. I have had many compliments on it lately.

See I like the "for phillips" as it fits the tiny phillips on Apple products, whereas the E4 phillips doesn't.

There is no doubt that there are great tools out there. Some may even be better than any Leatherman. But when you look at a whole line, and satisfying various customer needs, nothing compares. Leatherman is ahead of the curve.

RaptorMan · **Reply #54 on:** November 11, 2009, 02:55:16 AM

Yes I do agree with that Leatherman does have quite the selection of tools

I agree about them not EVER dropping the Micra. And I hope they don't ever try to tweak it either. Tha little tool should remain one of their standards no matter what technology comes along.
