Two kinds of tweezers on S4?
on: August 31, 2007, 11:31:30 PM
I've been meaning to ask for a while now, whats going on with the two kinds of pictures I see? In real life I've only seen the kind that comes completely out. Anyone able to help me understand?

I was wondering about that myself but unfortunately, I have no answer.

     The one that looks nonremoveable was the prototype.  The pictures were released before the tools came out and most sellers just kept the original pictures.  I am unaware that the original looking type were ever sold, but I may be wrong.  Maybe a leatherman rep around here could buzz in.

Thanks Tsquare, that makes perfect sense since I've only ever seen them that way in pictures. Good thinking.  :) Too bad they never made it though, seems nice not to have to worry about loosing them...

I think the first photo was from Shot show stuff.  It looks like the just wrap around the screw on the end or maybe a spacer.  It would be pretty useless if they did not come out.  I would rather have the SAK tweezers before that one if it was stuck in the tool.  Maybe that's why they went with a swiss type tweezer.

You might be right... They'd probably just bend or at least be difficult to work with. The Micra works ok for me, but the tweezers on them are stronger than it looks like they would be on the prototype S4.
