When is the LEAP hitting the shelves?

[captain spaulding]

Just wondering when the LEAP is supposed to be released. Seems as all the other tools from SHOT 2014 have been released except for the LEAP. Wonder if they are fine tuning it? Not that I wan't one in any fashion, but I just wan't some people to get them in hand and do some proper reviews.

I was wondering the same thing. I want to get my nephew one. If it ever comes out.

I'm sure someone has more info than us. Just waiting for them to see this thread.

IIRC in the shotshow video the woman said late summer.

[Tsquare]

August or September before we see them available, unless something comes up to delay them further.

[captain spaulding]

Thanks guys.

Not sure exactly but they usually release the new model in late Autumn, so September or October seem most likely. But yes, as Tsquare said, it seems delays are kind of a rule lately with releases of new models.

Thanks for the info guys.

its gonna be past my nephews birthday but that is ok. It will make a nice Xmas Present.

By the time it actually gets released hes going to be ready for a Rebar.

If it was up to me I think he's already ready for a rebar but I doubt his mother would agree.

Well she has the final word in it I would assume. Give it time.

At his age he should already know every tool in Leatherman's lineup!

[JAfromMn]

I agree but my sister in law is the one who makes the call.

between us I let him use whatever tool I'm carrying when he's out with me.

I keep a eye one him . He's a good kid. He doesn't do anything stupid or unsafe.

he has gotten cheap tools for me before but with the blades dulled and unpointed. He's been great with them. I'm sure he is ready for a new tool.

the size is why I really want one for him. His kid hands don't work well with a full sized tool
