They don't want to get it back modded with Rebar's awl and Wingman's scissors, though...
>:D
I have not messed with one yet. Might be a while before I do. However, there are a few aspects where it can be useful. But for the most part, I don't hardly use any multi or SAKs while in the fields or bush. Fixed blades rein supreme in those settings. As much as I like my SAKs, SOGs and LM, they hardly get used. But there is nothing that says a survival situation has to be in the woods or bush. This is where pliers and other tools will come in handy. Or things like fixing a shotgun or a rifle on a hunting trip. That 4 wheeler that won't start.
But, let's keep one thing in mind, all multis and SAKs are compromises of regular tools and knives. Does not matter if it says Huntsman or Signal or the tool load out, it is still a multi.
I still would like to try one out.

Give me your address, you better test the smurf out it and hack it to the max before you sending it back.

I lost respect for LBS because this video, he toot Leatherman's horn all the way through, sounded like Signal is the perfect tool.

Yeah uses/testing. :tu: Not really looking to mod it as it is a loaner.
none of them pointed out the issues Singal has.
:salute:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've just got the wrong eyes :rofl:
I genuinely struggle to understand why folks like it, as all I can see are the things that would really annoy me, and I feel the price issue is only so bad because of the design issues. If others see a different picture, so be it. I'm sure that some of my tool choices leave other people utterly perplexed too. I may not understand it, but I do accept it :salute:
However, watching those clips does make me wonder whether they see the issues I see in some way and just skip over them, or if they are genuinely not even minor issues for them at all. I do hope they genuinely have no issues with it, and aren't just tempering their views to oppease viewers
To save me looking, could you two recap or link me to your previous posts about it. Also fiddy, you seen one in person?
Oh (again) there's the whole pliers poking out the side when you try to close the tool after taking the whistle/ferro rod out. That's just sloppiness though, and not a critical functional thing or major ergos of use thing.Not a big deal to me. Without the fire starter you can still force the tool close, just with more force. Get your hand out of the way and it would be fine.
Oh, there is the handles having the removable bits potentially affecting comfort of using the tool, but that IS something I would only know if I handled it :salute:It is less comfortable without the gadgets, but only slighty.
I'd like to point out that everyone who purchases one of these monstrosities is contributing toward the price staying sky high. ::)

Thank you guys. :cheers:

Happy to help, Zoidie old boy :cheers:
I know I've been particularly vocal about this tool without holding one, but I don't feel my comments are unwarranted from my own personal perspective. It will be very interesting to hear your own take on it.
Are you doing the Surge challenge, and will that affect when you can review the Signal? I'm sure you can get special dispensation for handling all day to day tasks with the Surge, and doing some contrived tests with the Signal ;)
looking forward to read what you think of it Zoidberg. :popcorn:

His logic are:
1. Oh I don't use the XYZ tool on Wave often, so i don't mind the Signal lacks of them.
If that is the case then I can remove MT, Knife and flashlight from my EDC.
2. The new pliers head with replaceable cutter is much better.
I disagree, I found the older style cuts better.
3. Since both tools has the same bit driver, they are the same.
But he did not consider the difference when use the driver as the entire tool.
To this day, I still consider Signal is a hammer based MT, everything was designed around the hammer, and everything else suffer for it.
I see your point, but in this case of Wave vs Signal, the weight difference and comfort of carry are insignificant between the two, so more tools is better.
Without having watched his video it would seem to me like a multitool would always be a trade-off (if we wanted everything we'd carry a tool box). In accordance to that logic it would seem reasonable to say that, "well, I don't use these functions very often/at all" and so I can just as well carry a tool without it. I'm like that with saws, there are few things I could see myself cutting with a multitool saw that I couldn't just use the knife for and so I would probably rather remove the saw than carry it. This reasoning is what makes it viable to have models that aren't the Swisschamp.
:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:I know, right? :td:
I made it to the point where he added the Micra to make up for his lack of scissors in the Signal, and consequently blew his entire weight arguement out of the window. Stop the vid! :rant:
The other aspect is that this guy I preaching about preparedness - presumably by which he means preparing for unusual events. By the same token, he choses the tool he wants for unusual/unexpected events to have the tools he expects to usually need.I see your point, but in this case of Wave vs Signal, the weight difference and comfort of carry are insignificant between the two, so more tools is better.

Also, Wave not only has more tools, it has better tools.
