Because kids are not old enough to be in a club.
I am going have to ask Mod to close this. :D

Shhhh, don't tell anyone. But you know you want to take the leap. I bought one for my now eight year old daughter, she loved it. I liked the fact that I didn't have to worry about a knife. It gave us a chance to bond over something I love. Well now she has the knife added and I had to add one to my collection. It really offers a nice tool selection in a small package. Not much bigger then a SAK. So take the leap and be a kid again, join the club.

Yup, got one for my daughter last year, she loves it.
-
Got one for my little girl for Christmas and she loves the scissors on it :cheers: She has several Classic SAKs as well :D Even a pink alox :ahhh I am trying to get her hooked at a young age like I was ;) The scissors on all of them is a big draw for her :tu: I also forgot she has confiscated a Micra of mine as well :facepalm: :D
-
I carried mine this weekend, the size is prefect in the pocket, especially for sweat pants. Used the scissors multiple times, cut some beef sticks up with the knife. Even reattached the hose to my air filter on my truck. Really preformed well.

I have no shame.
I got one. In red.
Funny thing the handles are mismatched by a full year.
-
They aren't bad tools at all :cheers: I have bought a couple but as gifts :salute: 1 was for my little girl and the other for one of my nephews ;) I have thought about getting myself one but just never have :think: :D
-
I think if the Leap were not marketed for kids, we would see a lot more people carrying them, or at least admitting they carry one. :rofl:
-
I have one too. Never used it but I do like it, red.
-
To me, it looks like something handy to just stuff in a pocket for light EDC stuff, cheaper; and unlike the Juice has locking blades. But is it any good?

It is a bit bulky for a pocket. The scales seem to move a bit if you close the pliers too hard.
But it is a great tool to carry in a purse or in a small photo kit.
Better than the Gerber dime. But much bigger
-
I dont recall any who got them and used them :think:. Its a neat tool thats for sure. I cannot recall much of any use discussions.

I smell a challenge :D A LEAP Challenge would be a great way to test it for adult use :tu: :D

Leap challenge. Please.

You can start a new thread with proposed start date/s to see who else might be interested. This might just be one of the more very interesting challenges :D. Theres a lot of challenges planned so have a look to see where this might work well to get as many involved or to give those interested time to get LEEPs :salute:.

Wife hijacked my blue one for her sewing box /scrapbook set up. She uses it now and then, mostly the blade to open potting soil bags and cut foam blocks. makes a good office drawer tool for small jobs.

I'm posting this here because it seems to be the proper place based on the Links.
I just received the Leatherman Leap today and want to give my initial observations and thoughts on it.
Firstly...I feel completely embarrassed that in all the tools I have purchased lately to make a "Bladeless" tool I never considered a tool that was literally designed bladeless. :facepalm:
Some basic shots:
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ea/95/2f/ea952ff114b07a571c671f999eb5301f.jpg)
On inspection this tool is built way way way above its $39.95 price point. The fit and finish on MOST of the parts is akin to any of the best multi-tools that Leatherman makes.
In addition I found that I could relatively easily deploy all of the major implements (saw, scissor, philips, blade, and pliers) with one hand.
There were a few surprised in my inspection of it, the first being the main blade which is much more robust than expected. Here is a comparison of the blades to both the Wave, Signal, and Wingman. The removable blade has a flat grind (not hollow which is great) and came razor sharp. I was a little concerned about the blade coming loose but the method for attachment makes that nearly impossible under normal circumstances. the pivots are ground flat on opposite sides meaning that the metal has to bend significantly in order to allow it to come off the pivot. Based on the thickness of the blade that seems nearly impossible when putting pressure against the blade and quite unlikely when putting pressure on the back of the blade.
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/3d/82/2b/3d822be752762df70554b059967e3452.jpg)
some comparisons to other tools both in size and shape. I really don't like hybrid plier heads like the ones on the Leap or Victorinox Spirit. This is likely to be one of my first mods to the tool. I prefer to have a true set of needle nose pliers, especially in a tool this small which lacks leverage to be a proper wrench.
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6c/60/f4/6c60f4dc9845e133b3f99603397e0bea.jpg)
Overall this tool baffles me...I hadn't realized that they had made a MT with all outside opening implements so long ago and no one is talking about it.
Forget for a second that this was made for "kids" and realize that it has more tools than either the Wingman or Sidekick, is cheaper, better constructed, and much more compact. Not to mention this may be the best set of scissors I've seen Leatherman put on a multi-tool since the Original Wave. I would also like to mention that unlike even wave/charge or Surge the blade release is outside of the path of the blade making it even safer to use. Humorously it also has the fastest deployment of any bottle opener I've seen on a MT since the Philips opens with one hand very very easily. :drink: :cheers:
Very very very happy with this as my new EDC as a teacher.
Cheer's
H.G.
P.S. the Pivot side of the pliers is the same as the Wave/Charge/Blast/fuse/Kick/Signal/Rebar etc.
HOWEVER, it has a thickness of 6.31mm where the thickness of those plier heads is 7.01mm on average. Meaning that I can't put a Rebar plier head in it without compromising its integrity.

Great write-up, HG! :like:
I've always felt the Leap to be a good sleeper tool for adults. And the excellent design, intended for safe use by kids, makes it good for anyone. Would love to see a Giant Leap version for heavy-duty work environments. :)

That'd be interesting. I kinda wonder whether they will need to redesign structurally or use some high tech polymer to make it even stronger, since people did manage to break the metal pliers, with a bigger handle, there will be more leverage to do more damage.

Now I want one.

Well.
October challenge.
Red and all.

Why are there two leap clubs?
Mods. Could you please combine the two? :dunno:

:cheers:
It is the same pliers head found on the LM Rev and I don't see a lot of snapped Rev pliers. :dunno:
Or possibly, because I am not well acquainted with the Leap/Rev, Is it the pliers or handles causing the issue?

Yikes, I should have wrote that I just don't know with longer handles, whether the handle itself will be a little more vulnerable than the metal counterpart. However, I just checked and compared it with my charge, and both handles do have some give when I start squeezing on them, and the Leap don't feel necessarily weaker than the Charge. So I could be wrong? :think:

Has anyone figured out how to remove the blade from these, out of curiosity?

In the manual, there's instruction on how to put on the blade. Removing the blade, basically is the reversal of the process using the blade-holder. If necessary, you could even do it by hand, just hold firm and be careful not to cut yourself.
-
Okay - you guys win. I ordered a red one, through I might spray paint it yellow and black just to be different.
One vendor said these were discontinued, and they are no longer available at Wal-mart. None could be found on Amazon Prime. So I'm wondering what the future holds for the Leap.

Yes, but has anyone done it? My understanding is that leatherman designed this to be a "one way" operation, and so was curious if anyone had uninstalled the blade without disassembling the tool.
-
I will look at both later tonight and see what can be done :salute: :tu:

Yes, I spoke from experience, I'd disengage the blade twice, once with and once without the tool. Oh, btw, you also have to depress the liner lock to get the blade out(which you don't have to depress the liner lock when you are getting it in)

D'oh! >:(
Of course. Yeah it slides right out when you press on the locking tab.
Feel pretty silly now. :whistle:
Too bad the saw isn't also remove able. This would be such a great platform for swapping tools in and out. File, belt cutter, etc etc. Would be amazing for flying.

Funny you mention that...I actually think that it might be possible to do this based on the way the pivots are made. From what I can tell the cuts into the pivots extend all the way through the tool. which means it might be possible to use the blade as a template to make the saw removable. This is definitely something I am considering after I first modify a few other tools to slot into the blade slot. I really want everyone to see the potential of this platform. I used it all day today and it was incredible at wood working. I found it more comfortable than even my Charge/Blast Hybrid. I have more pictures and other info to update a little later on.
Also you only need one security Torx to adjust the tool. The screw is located on the Saw or Scissor side of the tool.
Cheers,
H.G.

Indeed, the contoured handle is definitely quite comfortable to hold onto, and personally, I really love the weight saving this tool offers. It only weighs around 131g(4.6oz) and it disappear like a 4-5 layers SAK in pocket.

Everything about the tool is surprising. Also, the scissors still have the issue of having material slide between the blades. So far only SAK, Surge, and Original wave scissors really meet my expectations. However, this one is above average. I was also able to use the scissor as an awl in softer wood. Still quite happy with it so far. And it's $40! That's crazyness
-
My scissors have been remarkably good. No biting on material so far. Not even on the gaffer tape.

I just tried Leap with cling wrap, it didn't give very clean towards the pivot each time, but if I were only using the front half of the scissors to cut, it did alright.

Same experience, I want to clarify that it's WAY better than the wave + /charge scissors on cuts. However, SAK is still king

Great job.
To do it to the saw, you could actually drill a hole in the actual saw to make it thumb accessible instead of nail indented.
I think they made it that way so kids don't deploy it in a hurry.

Have you gotten around to unscrew the blades side?
Seeing that the straight blade is on the same pivot that the saw. Would it be possible that the saw have the same flat spots on the pivot and could be modified to be detached like the straight blade?
It would need a bit of extra work leaving a little bump for the liner lock to slide on. Also I think I can see a washer in there which the blade doesn't have.
Just throwing ideas here.
-
There is a picture if it on my Pinterest board but the pivot tapers down to the thinner diameter. The side with the saw doesn't have the same Mechanism so no dice. On the other hand u can mod a wave saw to slot in to the blade slot and put a file on the saw side. If you really want true bladeless. Strangely the liner locks have a curved portion that lines up perfectly with rebar/blast internal tools. They won't lock but they open fully and snug. Video later on this.
Furthermore u can use a Leatherman charge spacer to step down the pivot diameter on a wave file to slot on that side as well.
Is having a saw an issue?
-
Only when taking a plane.
But here in Australia they are so inconsistent that one person may allow it and next time it would be taken from you.
I have had Allen keys and jeweller screwdrivers taken after being in several planes.

Sounds to me that it is too inconsistent to be worth carrying anything. Might as well just put it into checked baggage.

Added Wave file to the Leap as a removable option. It is a bit thinner than the blade so it needed some Braeon tape to thicken the profile. Not a perfect fix but made it stay a little better. I really like having the file over the Blade if I am going to carry a larger dedicated folder or fixed blade. Its a very very light and capable package now with a diamond/metal file.

It is a shame that the surge file and saw holder can't be cut to be used on the leap.
With the great shape and ergonomics of the leap it would be great to use it with a T shank saw.

I'm not quite sure it's the right place for it frankly. The leap will never replace the surge. What I love about the Leap with a file is that it becomes blade-less with some of the best tools (other than a blade) that a Multi-tool can carry, all while being under 5oz and almost completely 1 handed.

Looks like they are going to discontinue this tool. Sad, but I understand why.
:cry:

When do they plan on doing that?
Its still on LM's website.
Ill be buying another Rev or 2 at home Depot. Just because they are discon and I love mine.
But after reading this thread, seems like its as good of a MT as the other LMs. Might be worth buying.

I got my Son a red Leap for his 8th birthday (he is already 10 now!!!) and he loves it. So do I for that matter. Initially, we stored it out of his reach and he asked Mom or Dad if he could handle it. After I was confident in his respect for the tool, he now keeps it in his room and uses as he deems appropriate. Usually every night prior to tucking in, we sit down and go through his emerging collection and I will run through all the implements on his Leap. I need to get a picture of him with it to share with the group (and update my avatar).
I think Leatherman could easily expand this tool into a line, I would say to replace the Juice line and even the Wingman/Sidekick. I even think it has a lot of potential as a high-end/tactical tool if instead of GFN they used G10 and/or carbon fiber for the handle/chassis. Either way, they need to offer an adult-ized version.

Now thats awesome rdub :tu:
when he gets older, he will remember who got him using MTs. :whistle:

Agree 100%, I've always been impressed with the tool. I would have preferred they had a file over the saw and made both a removable saw and blade. It's been a great too, with a pocket clip and aluminum scales it would have been a hit on all fronts.

I was one of the first to jump on the Leap. When I found the tool to be recalled, I waited a little and bought a newer set. Leatherman saw fit to make a slight change to the blade to denote if the tool is a post recall model. The newer version only has 3 bumps as opposed to the original 4 bumps on the blade spine.
Recall info:

You can see the original blade with 4 spine bumps and above it, the newer 3 bump blade.

Great collector info, Chako :salute: :like:

From what I can tell, I do not see any visible differences between the pre and post recall Leaps...only the slight blade difference. Thus, if you were to buy one without a blade, you may get either...albeit I am sure the pre-recall was a smaller run than those that came after the recall. I believe the issue was with the main body and not the blade...as I have both and they appear to be identical. if there are any differences, I cannot see it with the naked eye.
-
Didn't the recall have to do something with the blade coming back out to easily or while in use :think: If so it may be something more internal in the body of the Leap :shrug: could you see if anything inside where the blade is suppose to install looks different? :cheers:
-
I cannot see anything visible...so yes, it is definitely internal. I always thought it odd that there were no changes to the body of the Leap, only to the blade.
-
Im no engineer but I cant think of a good way to change it. For what it is...I am reqlly happy with it.

Tell him I have given him a double thumbs up! :2tu:

Leap may be marketed towards kids but still does everything my plain boring Rev does. Its definitely not a toy.
If I had 3 hands, Id give him 3 thumbs up :tu: :tu: :tu:
