Nothings moved on

I’ve been away for quite some time
Completely unawares to recent MT additions.
After a quick look around, the layout seems unchanged, …nothings moved on!!

Anyone else thinking the same?

My OG Wave  still looks like it could hold its own against leatherman latest releases.  I was hoping there!d be huge advances made.

I agree, I'm not enamored with the new Leatherman offerings. They could do so much more with the tools they have, like the Rebar. They seem happy to just release some color coated versions rather than add options based on popular mods.

Yep
Totally agree

I’ll never understand why they didn’t release trade specific multitools.  A plumber, sparky and chippie all need different tool layouts

I’ll never understand why . . .

The why question is always about what management believes will increase share value and dividends for the owners.  We think it should be about what we want (me too  ), but we only get what we want if it happens to coincide with what management thinks best affects the balance sheet. 

There are tons of things that I think Leatherman should do, like innovate, like release outside opening Rebars and ST300s, like bring back a new Juice lineup and PS4, and on and on.  But Leatherman has a different idea about the balance sheet.

Take the Glock 43X, for example.  It would be one of the greatest things in the gun world if Glock made a 15 round magazine for the 43X.  But nooooo.   Why?  Presumably it would cannibalize the Glock 19, and that's not good for the balance sheet.  So we don't get what we want.
