Wingman and Sidekick.
on: October 01, 2011, 01:21:55 AM
Guess what I got in today...



Both tools look very similar.


However, they do differ in their contents...

Leatherman Wingman.


Leatherman Sidekick.




And the blade is different also...




I purposely did not read any threads that mentioned either tool as I wanted to experience the tools for myself with a clean slate. I was surprised at the intricate build and quality of the tools. Overall, I was very surprised at their retail price.

I was also surprised at the neat touch of having the tools come through the handles. This is great for drying, but more interestingly, you can push them out partway from one side, and partially open them for easier opening. I thought that was an interesting feature.




A little Leatherman information.

Nice. Is that bent over piece of handle a cover for the package opener/serrated blade to stop you from getting cut when pushing out the other tools?

nice review witth excellent pictorial :tu:...my impression from this, without having able to hold it, is the smaller finer details like tool cover) ..probably its just me.. :).
can a side by side pic with a juice (a kf4?) for visual comparison?  ::)..
whatever it turns out..i'll still buy both... :D

I am going to look for them today. I love the straight edge on the Sidekick as well as the second serrated blade (hate the clam shell opener) I just wish it had the scissors and it would be perfect.  :rant:

I might have to buy an extra set and send them to you to do the same for me.  :D I love the names by the way.  :tu:

The pouch and carabiner really screw up size perspective for me, if I didn't know I'd say both tools are micra sized.

Waiting for them to be in stock at local MEC.

Call them Goose and Maverick! You know you want to.

I'll be grabbing a Wingman as soon as they show up over here in Oz.
