Leatherman Raptor: Safe To Purchase Now?

Or is there any rumblings of a second version for the holiday's? At $60 I's rather make the purchase once for my IFAK.

What is your main concern when you say safe to purchase? :think: Problems, color, price, other?

I haven't heard of many issues with the Raptor and doubt they are going to drop a surprise 2nd generation model anytime soon.

If it's price or color and you can snag one you like at a price you feel is reasonable, go for it. I got mine at an open-package discount from one of my local retailers when the tool was fairly new. It's an ok tool for a GFAK but too large/heavy for my IFAK (personal preference). Not sure I would pay the retail on to get another if it ever came to it, but your mileage may vary.

The Raptor has been around a while but I don't see them updating this tool for a good while yet :think: So if you are wanting one then you should be fine with getting one now :salute: :like:

Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!
