I took it on a river fishing weekend, man it was sweet. When your holding a fish and rod in one hand, the sliding pliers are great. The saw made quick work of small to medium branches in my fishing hole. The screwdriver even repaired my reel with ease. It really enriched the trip. But it can even tackle bigger jobs. I used it to take apart a couch to get through the door, and I was really applying some torque. It's one tuff little mother. So much so that I have almost every leatherman made, when I misplaced it during the move I bought another one.

OHT down to £65 on Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00IAUI2WK. Sorely tempted at that price (that's good for the UK). :multi:

I belong to few of those who like and appreciate OHT for what it is.

Guys, don't forget this is primarily a gun maintenance tool as well as general military single-hand use tool for deploying in difficult and challenging situations. It was also designed for ease of operation while wearing gloves. I don't wear mil-spec or tactical gloves but tried it with my Mechanix gloves (very similar to the ones used by military personnel). As such, not only meets but supersedes the functions and situations it's been designed for.

Oh, and as a one-hand tool, it beats my Gerber MP600 in pretty much any category except size/weight. But I have large-ish hands so it isn't such an issue for me personally.

That's me on LM OHT.  8)
EDC and OCD. A wicked mix.

The OHT was a bit of a disappointment because (under the influence of this forum) after reading reviews and watching many videos, I went to the shop to check before I buy....
The tools are so small I left with my money still in my wallet.

Have to admit, if I could find it for 50%-60% of the local retail price I would buy it.

Got mine today. :D  It's big, not too heavy and fun to play with.  The pliers are good, the tools are stiff (but loosening up) and the BO has come off the pliers release buttons already.

Did the same today... the tools are too small for a such a huge brick. And since I don't need everything to be OHO I left without it.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Well I wanted something with replaceable wire cutters and was looking at buying another Rebar (for about the same price as the OHT cost) but when I saw this thought I'd give it a go.  It is big, and the tools are small, but the spring loaded pliers are nice and the silver finish isn't as bad as I first thought.

I was fortunate enough to find one for sale for a great price.  I only paid $35 shipped Priority for it so I had to try it for that and so far I think it is an okay MT.  :)

I have not had a lot of use for it yet so time will tell as it will take me longer to give it a "yah" or "nah" vote but so far, it is okay.  I wouldn't pay the full price or premium for it as that brings in alot more options for the same money!

It may end up being just that, ( OK ), ya know?  I don't think it will blow most users away like a Wave, Rebar, Spirit, etc.  The sliding pliers by far is the coolest thing about this tool.  I also dig the blade and philips tho the other drivers are not bad at all. 

Mine has got a lot of belt time with the pliers seeing the most use.

Here is mine Ceracoted.  Not sure if you can tell. Had to re rivet the scales after it was done. If im allowed to mention the company's name somebody let me know. It cost 35 dollars to Ceracote. The scales were silver before ceracoting.

I'm planning on buying/having one of this. Love the Tan/black or All black combo.
Maybe when it's on sale here in ca I'll grab one, or if I find someone to trade my extra wave with. :D  :gimme:

I have been very close to buying an OHT more than once.  And again when I saw them at REI.com for US$59.95 shipped.  But Nutnfancy's review reiterates some of its shortcomings that others have noted in this thread.  Limited tool set, short blade/saw/drivers, etc.  So I'm holding off yet again.  :)
