will we see 2013 leathermans announce at SHOT show

coastalchris · **on:** December 28, 2012, 12:12:15 AM

In the past leatherman has used shot show as a platform to show off new up coming tools. Do you think they will announce some new ones this year? Would like to see a up dated wave or charge with replaceable cutters

SHOT is the biggest event of the year. I imagine if they have anything to announce it will happen there.

Hopefully they've been watching and listening in on what all the modders have been doing.

Yes, no doubt. I expect big or at least wanted news from them next year though. Leatherman really knows how to space out their marketing. They know what their customers want. It can't all come at once though.

I certainly hope they come up with something good, after all 2013 will be there 30th anniversary in business.

Anyone else think that it's about time for the Juice lineup to get an update?

Hi Bucky,

I'm with you on seeing the Juice line getting updated.

Best - Joe

Syph007 · **Reply #12 on:** December 28, 2012, 05:32:21 PM

Yes please a new juice line! Heres what I want, ditch the 3 flat head drivers for one that takes standard 1/4 bits, or even the flat leatherman style ones. Im pefectly happy to pay more to get a better blade too.

Mercury · **Reply #13 on:** December 28, 2012, 06:55:19 PM

Im with syph. A bit driver on the juice line would rock.

make sure you get that checked......

The problem is whether they can improve the juice line without messing it up...

I trust LM but I would be worried if they decided to change it.

nuphoria · **Reply #15 on:** December 28, 2012, 07:16:12 PM

New Juices would rock - KF4 with one blade and scissors, better awl, improved driver diversity... that would make my day

I put on a new "Wave 2013" of pliers with Rebar

gregozedobe · **Reply #17 on:** December 28, 2012, 09:52:12 PM

I sort-of agree with baja820, but I think the Rebar plier head on a high-end Charge TTi is more likely, as then they can justify a higher price than for a Wave with a Rebar head. A ST300 head on the Surge is also a possibility to increase sales of a model that has been around unchanged for a while. I guess all will be revealed ........

I would like to see a new Wave.

I know it's not happening anytime soon, but I would love to see the Wingman and Sidekick replaced. I can't believed they dropped the Kick and Fuse for them.

ironraven · **Reply #20 on:** December 29, 2012, 05:21:47 AM

I'm with Baja- the Wave and the Surge updated with replaceable cutter bits.

New Juices would be cool to, though.

Outback in Idaho · **Reply #21 on:** December 29, 2012, 09:54:02 AM

A scissorless Recharge TTi that is awlsome, replaceable wire cutters, and maybe have a fire steel on the handle.

gadgetman7 · **Reply #22 on:** December 30, 2012, 05:21:43 AM

I think we'll probably see the Rebar head on at least the Charge but I really want a Juice update.

A juice with a bit holder would be great. I'd like a better steal on the blade too. I'd like locking tools but keep the blade as a slip joint for our UK folks.

Shorty66 · **Reply #23 on:** January 01, 2013, 07:09:09 PM

I would love to see the Freestyle and Skeletool updated with scissors and tweezers.

And a bitholder for the freestyle please

Mercury · **Reply #24 on:** January 01, 2013, 07:15:43 PM

I wish they had actually produced the original freestyle that had the fixed semi 2d phillips. THAT I would have bought.

There is the Removable Bit Driver that slips over the square Phillps driver.

That same attachment fits all other tools with the large bit driver too, using the 1/4" x 6mm bit.

I always wondered what that tool set did

Good to know that now........................

Thisjk38 · **Reply #27 on:** January 02, 2013, 11:46:38 AM

I would love a pocket clip on the juice. A juice S2 with a clip and OHO knife would be a damn near perfect edc MT for me.

Keep the ideas coming- I'm sure its just coincidence, but a lot of ideas from this forum seem to show up in Leatherman's production....
