Post by: Aloha on May 20, 2014, 04:23:54 PM: Bookmarked. Thank you for doing this. Chako pretty PLEASE would you do a separate one on the Anniversary Leatherman Tools? I looked all over to find the 15 year tool and finally found out there was never one produced. I'd love to see whatever was offered. I did find the 20th Anniversary one only to find out there was a signed one and non signed one ( thanks to your post on the Waves). I'd imagine the Texas Tool guys anniversary tools are a separate deal yes?
Title: Re: Leatherman series articles
Post by: Billy Ruffian on May 20, 2014, 07:09:38 PM: Thanks Chako - a t'riffic series. I'd also echo Aloha's comments, if you can face one more thread it'd be great (and useful) to see a thread on the official anniversary LMs. What do you reckon?

Title: Re: Leatherman series articles
Post by: Chako on May 21, 2014, 01:04:20 AM: Sorry to disappoint, but I do not have many of the Anniversary tools. I have looked high and low for a gold PST 10th anniversary to no avail. I only have the non signed 20th anniversary Wave. I do have all of the 25th anniversary tools...I think. Did not bite on the Texas Toolcrafter 30th anniversary tool as I assumed it wasn't official Leatherman, and only found out when it was too late, so nix on that one also. I did get the 30th anniversary set, because I knew that was from Leatherman.

Thanks for this
Do you have a post that groups all your other let's look posts together? - If not could you make one please?
I was serching for something recently and could not find it.

Thanks very much

Post by: Chako on May 03, 2015, 12:19:37 AM: I am sorry, I don't have anything, and finding those articles can be difficult.

Post by: Demel on May 04, 2015, 02:59:44 AM: Very nice chako, I have always enjoyed reading these and have been helpful especially in size comparisons. It's sometimes hard to get an idea of the "size" of something based on a stand alone picture. Your work is appreciated. :cheers:

Post by: sk1212 on December 13, 2021, 10:43:11 PM: hi my dad lost his Leatherman about a month ago he has had it for as long as I can remember and I'm 21 I want to buy the same one back for him as a suprise. I don't know exactly what model colour or year it was all I know is that when you hold it on your palm it fills your hand and it is a blue green turquoise colour. any help appreciated.
Title: Re: Leatherman series articles
Post by: Poncho65 on December 13, 2021, 10:58:26 PM: Welcome to :MTO: :cheers:

Sorry to hear that your dad lost his tool :ahhh

If it really was a Leatherman, then it was probably a Juice :think: not sure what model it may have been though :think: do you happen to remember any tools that it had on it, also the advice has recently been discontinued and may be harder to track one down for a reasonable price :salute:
Title: Re: Leatherman series articles
Post by: Huntsman on December 14, 2021, 12:23:36 AM: Hi

When I first read this I thought "Blue Leatherman? .....What the... ? " :think:

But of course - as Ponch said - if it was colourful it was most certrainly a Juice
Have a look at the Juice thread accessed via the link in the first post in this thread or here:
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,52252.0.html

Only chance to get these now is second hand on ebay (there may be a few new ones lying around somewhere)
Or go for another model
Unfortunately there is no equivalent to a Juice now - I for one did not understand why they discontinued the line :(
So you could try a Swiss Army Knife - Maybe a SwissChamp if you want pliers - But the pliers are very small
Or maybe a SwissTool Spirit - These are pretty pricey - But very very nice
Or a Leatherman Rebar?

Good Luck :tu:
Title: Re: Leatherman series articles
Post by: Chako on December 14, 2021, 12:24:34 AM: Is it one of these? A Juice S2, SC2, or Juice CS4?

Post by: Aloha on December 14, 2021, 03:30:20 PM: Was it really small? I was also thinking Squirt? Likely a Juice, in any case I wish you success.
