Leatherman Garage 4
on: January 01, 2023, 03:58:58 PM
Any predictions for the next Garage release?

I imagine it’ll be released in the next couple of months, but what sort of thing can we expect?

I haven't heard anything and thought that it might possibly be out already but I am kinda glad that it isn't  :whistle: :D

Hopefully something more exciting than the Parts release :facepalm: :D

I'm sure many are very curious.  I can't even begin to guess what they will come up with.  I do hope its not a simple color change or easily done swap of parts.  I hope they really push the envelope as they say.  Some real prototype stuff would be cool.

I’ve heard rumors about a gardening tool in a rebar style frame.  For sure it’s called “Harvest.”

I’d heard about the Harvest too, but I was really hoping it’d be a regular production tool rather than a Garage release.

Batch# 004 is called “Harvest.”  I would suspect it has a 2022 serial number on it as well, due to the frequency of previous releases.

My guess as to why it was held back is probably due to Garage releases feeling less special when they roll out every quarter.  I’d gather that this was something they learned in the first year and now we will only see 3 releases per year.

That is only my guess.

With the 40th anniversary tools coming this year, it’s also a wonder what frequency of Garage releases we will see.

I thought a gardening tool would be a great crossover to attract new customers to the brand, especially if the price could be kept down.

I managed to get hold of a Hybrid last year and it was a great gardening and dog walking tool. My wife broke one of the secateur blades after a month.

Leatherman Instagram teased a bottle opener a la Flair today for batch 4. I dunno how I feel about the styling…

I think at this point I’m more of scores about the ARC possibilities and not the garage projects.

I would love an OG Flair (but I'm poor) I can't see me "forking" out for one of these  :whistle:

I am wondering this even has a blade. It seems to make sense as a Free K-Series-like knife with CS, but given "worldwide availability" it makes sense for it to be bladeless like the Juice corkscrew/scissor tool they issued a few years back.

Due to this fact and the name EUROPE75, I suspect that it will have a two-hand deployed, non-locking blade.

Also a good guess  :tu:

Europe 75 refers to their European trip in 1975, so that doesn’t limit it to non-locking blades, but global shipping maybe be a better indicator.

Do we know if Tim visited many vineyards on his European trip?
I wonder if it’s mainly a picnic-type tool, or if it’s got everything you need to bodge an old Fiat too.

I believe the trip was like 6 months, so who knows what tools are included.  Tim previously stated jokingly that the Flair failed because not many people wanted to work on a carburetor and then go have a picnic with the same tool, so it’s yet to be seen if this tool with have pliers.

I am on the fence and will have to see what it is before I want it :ahhh

I didn't care for the Parts release, so I didn't get it :dunno: the Darkside was cool but not much different than a factory Charge  ::) I want something completely cool and different like the Mr Crunch  :drool: :woohoo: :like:

Based on that partial pic I was kinda thinking it was “half” of a Multitool. Like Max’s mods. So no pliers. Slipjoint since it said Europe.
Cool stuff.

Max's mods, as you say, were all thought up here originally years before he did them ;) I was making them before him and other way before me :cheers:

He just goes on about them a bit more than most  :D

Good to know! Kudos to you and others! But yeah I was thinking it was half a tool as the vision  of the Garage tool was stuff left over, if I recall correctly. Not sure what that silver thing with a screw is for. Lanyard loop?

Looks like an old school pocket knife bail.

Good for Max for putting out content and no disrespect to him but MTO is ground zero for most MT mods going way back. 

Sorry if I am being petty.  Credit is always due at all times.

Not being petty IMO

Maxlvedc rubs more than a few the wrong way for taking credit by omission of not giving credit to MTo and the members that came up with these mods originally. This forum is where he gleaned the knowledge to do the mods he posts on his video's.

He took the leaked ARC graphics I posted here and used them on his YouTube channel without crediting this site.
