He (or she) is selling a lot more than one or two, and many at real Tread full price.Methinks it is time I started pushing more info out there about fake Treads. Def
Can't be arsed looking back over the pages so I'll ask.Have you used it yet?Like a legit saved the day because you wore a Tread type event.
Would you wear one to work Mechnic?
No problem. I am seriously intrigued by the Tread now and I have my eye on both a real one in stainless, but tragically also another fake in stainless for an accurate comparison. And I still need to find an early model with the barrels. I think I have a serious problem.Def

I had a quick look at a couple of higher priced models, and I'm not sure I would believe them. For example:https://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-LEATHERMAN-TREAD-Black-Stainless-Steel-Bracelet-Multi-Tool/202103732470?hash=item2f0e5238f6:g:e-QAAOSwvTpZ~eocThis one shows what appears to be real Treads in the photos, but as the model is the same one as above, and is obviously a stock photo I would be concerned as to whether it was a legitimate product or not.However, the ball detents that you see are consistent with real Treads, and you can clearly see the different colored carbide insert on the otherwise black Tread. My guess would be (especially since the seller is in China) that this would be fakes at (almost) real pricing, which is, in my opinion much worse than fakes at fake prices.Def
Honestly, given the rub marks and un-coated bits on the real Tread, I would be inclined to think IT was the fake if I didn't know better. The finish on the fake is still in better shape after months of wear than the real one was straight out of the box. Def
The tread still confuses me. If I couldnt have a bladed sak or my MT I would probably carry a multibit screwdriver and a knipex plierwrench. You can do alot with those and it's bladeless. I don't know how to wear that as man jewelery though. I hate jewelery. I don't wear my wedding ring either as I've seen pics of degloved fingers.
Why is it when I learn about a scary word, someone uses it the next day?
