Leatherman coding Q?s
on: February 28, 2019, 12:23:39 PM
Hello,
i had one guy who kept stressing me with a code 830165.
I kept using names and he kept using codes, we finally understood each other yet...
If Leatherman use codes for their tools, why are they not generally used, and also in what consists the translation.
Thank you

There are product codes for everything Leatherman sells :salute: it even differentiates between what sheath comes with a tool and everything :tu: unfortunately I know nothing about what code is used for what  :-\ so other than knowing that they use codes I can't really help :facepalm: Sorry :D

Perhaps look on ebay or Amazon and see what is sold for each code, one might be with nylon sheath, another might be with leather sheath etc.
I know I started using the code to be sure I was getting exactly what I wanted.

A quick look on ebay suggests that 830165 is a stainless steel Surge with nylon sheath, however there is one called YL830165 that is sold with a Premium Leather Sheath.  :dunno:
(And one that says nylon sheath but has a picture of a leather one  :facepalm:)

EDIT: My stainless steel Surge with "Premium Leather Sheath"  ::) was #830158.

The code mainly tells what kind of sheath, and whether the tool comes in a clam pack or a box.  It is mainly for distributors, as some like to hang the products from racks (clampack) and some keep them under a counter (boxes).

Thoughts?  ;)



EDIT PS: Re OP: (or OQ!!)  All large manufacturing companies will have product codes for their internal stock control, manufacturing, and ordering systems   etc etc   ...... Much easier to manage, sort, report, with numbers rather than names  in computer systems.

....... Nice names for  the general public!

Victorinox are excactly the same: From the Wiki Climber page:
1.3703 - Victorinox Number: Red Cellidor scales
1.3703.3 - Victorinox Number: Black Cellidor scales

There's an "Insert Table" button in the message options. I guess it's for bringing one in from outside. :shrug:
