My awlsome Charge TTi

(http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/tools/PC060008smaller.jpg?t=1291695339)

Too cold to go outside at present as the snow is wet and slushy. Want to get two more ST300 awls too, if anyone knows where to get some. One for a rework, and the other to put back in the ST300 I took it from. Also a few washers too.

Thanks for posting that robibotti, it's a shame Leatherman no longer makes a sheath like that. I find that my  Large MOLLE sheath intended for tools like the MUT is almost too tight for both bit kits and is a bit large for the charge tti. However the small MOLLE sheath is just right for the Charge but only holds one bit set.   :rant:

And thanks for the welcome AHB!

Grats mate!

Now, I'm curious and no one has thus far said anything. Does anyone use a jib to align the tools and those extremely thin washers, or just jam them in there and pray?

I was trying to be as meticulously gentle and still lost a washer between the scissors and the small bit driver. (http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Xemoticon/grrr.gif)

You have an even more awlsome TTi like some of the rest of us do.  :D

I have this spare ST300 that Tim Leatherman signed, that I won a while back. In case my first awl should break will have a spare in the that.  ;)

Well here's mine:

Fatchappers, simply beautiful.

Here are a couple of rare birds.

I got lucky last year and bought these two tools off of eBay of all places. I was puzzled when they came in, and emailed Leatherman. I was blown by the response.

Here is the only one of its kind, with the email I copied for safe keeping.
(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r207/Chako_photo/Album%202/IMG_2094small.jpg)

A black DLC coated Charge Prototype with Damascus blades...circa 2009.
(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r207/Chako_photo/Album%202/IMG_2095small.jpg)

And the other prototype tool, 1 of 3 produced by the Leatherman factory. This one is also black DLC...circa 2009.

(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r207/Chako_photo/Album%202/IMG_2096small.jpg)

Both tools do not feature any black oxide finish.

Thanks eveyone,

@leopis,
i love the rainbow effect achieved from heating the scales, i actually tried that myself but overheated them until they were glowing orange. I was just lucky they didn't start to deform as they were off the handles.

@Chako,
If leatherman had taken the damascus DLC charge into production i almost certainly wouldn't have bothered to modify mine at all and made sure i got hold of one of those instead. The DLC coating is so much more pleasant than black oxide.

It sure is!  :drool:

In other news, the serrated blade on my TTi has tightened up to the point that I can barely open it one-handed, and oil has not helped. This one came back from a factory warranty service just a couple months ago and has seen no hard use or water exposure, so not sure of the reason. I have a couple tamper-resistant Torx drivers on the way to tweak it a bit; we'll see how it turns out.

I live in the uk. Here the law states that you cannot carry a locking or fixed blade without good reason. Example when I am stage crewing, no problem. If I wanted to carry charge just in case on a walk to the local park that is not allowed.

The only "mod" will be to transfer the No.1/No.2 Philips bit from the Skeletool to the Charge. I lost the spare bit for the Skeletool ages ago, and it'll be better off with the No.1 Philips/Flat combo bit from the Charge.

Thanks
Agent X68
Title: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Accujohn on October 18, 2011, 04:11:07 AM
154cm is great, s30v is even better. The trick is routinely touching them up so they dont get dull. The longer a steel can hold an edge, the tougher it is to sharpen if you let it get dull. Both are good steels, s30v is just the better at holding the edge. I could explain the crucible particle metal process etc but that gets lengthy
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Agent X68 on October 18, 2011, 04:18:05 AM
Thanks Accujohn, my knives dont get dull to often because I dont use most of them heavily, I was just wondering to see how easily 154CM sharpens because I was looking to get a lot of use out of my charge.
Title: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Accujohn on October 18, 2011, 09:02:37 AM
If you use 154cm daily but touch it up with a few swipes on ceramic rods every 2-3 days it will be a breeze. If you use it daily for a month or 2 and dont touch it up then you kinda need to know what your doing a little more

Picked one of them up recently, along with a Lansky Pocket Crock Stick. Pull a small ceramic rod out for finer sharpening.

Thanks. What are people here using to sharpen/maintain their S30V blades?

My favourite is the Spyderco Sharpmaker .Some of you may not agree with me but this is where I think the Wave is a more sensible option .If you don't know what your doing with sharpening S30V or 154CM you will be there for ages and could quiet easily make it blunter . Its not a steel for novices . The 420HC of the Wave can me made to be just as hair popping sharp and as long as you maintain the edge on a regular basis it won't give you any problem .Sometimes I think some people just go for the S30V because its considered better  :think: My Wave will cut rope , seatbelts , fish heads , rubber hose , cheese etc. etc. just as well as my Charge will . I realise that S30V retains the edge for longer but I have never had a problem with 420HC .

Just my two pennies worth .

The 420HC of the Wave can me made to be just as hair popping sharp and as long as you maintain the edge on a regular basis it won't give you any problem .Sometimes I think some people just go for the S30V because its considered better  :think: My Wave will cut rope , seatbelts , fish heads , rubber hose , cheese etc. etc. just as well as my Charge will . I realise that S30V retains the edge for longer but I have never had a problem with 420HC .

Just my two pennies worth .

That's a fair point, but moot, as you can't get a Charge TTi (which I bought for the tool selection, not the type of steel the blade's made from) with a 420HC blade.

So one way or another I have a S30V blade to keep sharp.

Thanks for the tips so far :)

Couple points:
I've been touching up my blades for years and it does take practice. Especially with harder steels. That said, i could have saved time and frustration by avoiding those little pocket sharpeners. Those require you to pull the blade through in an improper direction whic can only get a blade "barely sharp" it also wears away needless steel. Get a full sized smith or lansky sharpener with 4" long+ ceramic rods. Those rods are all you need if you touch up regularily and follow the provided instructions. You can then keep or make any good blade hair popping sharp

The small tools really only serve one purpose, for sharpening the cut-hook. Hence the Smith sharpener has a tapered cone to sharpen that one spot that the other sharpeners can't touch. Pocket Crock sticks pop out of the case to give a finer edge to the cut-hook.

As for regular sharpening past that one area, Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker.

I very much agree with you Dunc. I have some experience with knives and in my opinion the reason you get a steel like S30V, ZDP-189 or 3G is because you can sharpen at a more shallow angle. That's the real benefit! If you have a steel like that the whole idea to me is that it can maintain an edge angle of 12 - 15 degrees inclusive. (And then we're talking sharp) Otherwise I think it's just a waste of money.

If you don't know how to sharpen knives you're much better off buying something that's easy to sharpen. Victorinox blades are fantastic in that regard. I wonder how many people have been watching YT-vids and thought that they had to have a fancy steel and now sit on more or less blunt TTi's.  ::) 

If someone would present me with the choice of S30V or 420HC I would pick 420HC. Easier to keep razor sharp and helps you maintain the routine of sharpening your blade after use.

For sharpening in the field get a Fallkniven DC-4 stone and you're set to go.

For house sharpening I too recommend the Spyderco Sharpmaker. Too bad there's no slot for at least 20 degrees.

I like 154 CM, VG10 etc. Easy enough to sharpen if you have a little skill and it holds an edge well.

Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Agent X68 on October 22, 2011, 12:04:45 AM
Its on the wrong side because it is a righty opening blade and you can't see the sharp part of the serrations when you are cutting.

Question for you fellow charge heads... Anyone else notice a pronounced difference in grip comfort between using the pocket clip vs. not? I have the TTi but I imagine they are all similar. I am always tempted by the convenience of the clip but really love the feel of the tool without. Anyone else care, or not? :)

I definitely notice the clip is there, but it does not inhibit my use of the tool. I use the pocket clip feature about equally with sheath carry so I have learned to live with it.

How would you rate charge tti as an edc weared on the pocket clip?

Isn't it too heavy or clumsy for pocket carry?

I love my skeletool but want to try some more featured multitool:)

Depends on your trousers. With most jeans a Charge would be uncomfortable for EDC. Loose trousers, like chinos, and a belt works quite well.

If you have a Skeletool you really have the best Leatherman EDC. A Charge might work though. I EDC'd mine for three months recently. (right now back to lightweight Swiss army knives)

Personally, I find that a Charge is reasonably comfortable for EDC, with or without a folder.  Some people carry a lot more on their EDC though, and a charge can be pushing the limit.  I've heard a lot of people do well with a Juice or a Skeletool for EDC.

Its a bit bulky in dress pants, so if I'm out for dinner or whatnot I go back to my Skeletool.

Why sell the Skeletool to get a Wave which functionally does the exact same thing as the Charge?  ???

With the Skeletool you have the lightweight option. If your tools are things for the shelf then I understand, but for practical use it makes zero sense to have a Charge and ...another Charge.
You get far more versatility with the Charge/Skeletool combo.

I own a Ti and until I looked on the LM retired tools listing for this tool that it has a "hidden" lanyard ring. I knew most of them (LM MTs) had this feature but not this one. I assumed that because it had a removable lanyard ring that they wouldn't put a fixed one on the tool. Mine stays in the spare tube bag under the seat of my bicycle with tire levers and other stuffs.

Yep loki that is a 2 handed opening Charge , I think Denmark is the only market/country that these special 2 handed opening bladed LMs are sold in :think: :think:. There was some talk of Australia getting these 2HO LMs but that has been put on hold for now.

I love my charge, well I love all my leatherman but the charge is nicer than I expected. I have a Charge AL lucky all of you with the TTi I wanted it but wasn't in stock the day I bought it months ago.

Purchased on ebay Charge TTi with strange knives (without slots for one-handed opening) Does anyone have a similar (this is the official delivery or handmade)?

Is the Charge the best Leatherman? The one to buy if you are going to have just one tool?
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: stealth007s on November 04, 2012, 08:58:23 PM
I wouldn't say the best but definitely an awesome tool. The best one is the one that you may be currently carrying at the moment, possibly, or the one that fits your needs the most.

Hey all,
I'm new to the site, but I've been lurking in the shadows reading some of the forums :D  Consider me a member of the club as I have a Charge AL and TTi.  Love them both and I always have a hard time choosing which one to carry.  Although I usually don't carry a Charge at work (I work at a bank) as I don't want to freak anyone out if I pull out a OHO knife, even if it is part of a multitool.  So I resort to either my Rebar or Swisstool Spirit as neither appear threatening to non-knife or multitool carrying people (I believe I've seen them referred to as "sheeple" here :))  Of course I pair them with a SAK, usually my Compact, which compliments a full sized multitool very nicely. 

Unfortunately my PC is old and slow and uploading pics is quite time consuming.  At some point I hope to get enough time to take some pics and upload them.

Thanks for the welcome guys.  I'm not sure if I saw "sheeple" on this particular forum, but I did see it a couple times on one of the topics here.  Not sure why non-knife/multitool carriers would be called by that term though.  Although they may be less prepared for various situations that may arise :)

By the way, I do like that gold plated Charge.  I've seen some of those on Texas Tool Crafters website and would love to have one of mine modded in some form.  Probably the wooden handles would be best as flaunting around gold could be too tempting to some people if you let it out of your sight long enough.  Not that I ever would if I had one :)

Wasn't as sharp as I hoped it would be when I received it, but haven't tried sharpening it as I'm lousy at that  :think: . Yes, it rust, caught it early and managed to clean it off without leaving any permanent marks. Now I coat it with some lubricant. Sorry, don't know how to tell which is harder as well, I'm only at the entry level. It's used as and when neccessary. So far so good.  :shrug:

Well spill the beans. How do you like the new Charge design?

It's a different texture, feels different, squared and weight a little more 247g compared to 237g.

Yes, I prefer the original, it feels more comfortable in hand, the new design is little thicker, larger and 10g heavier.

More I look at it more I'm beginning to like it  ??? . The slightly broader scales has completely hidden the lock release. Now it's flush and not protruding.

New scales looks a bit off to me liking, surely functioning over aesthetic.

The new scales sort of remind me of the AL's scales in the way they are broader and cover the lock more.  I like that look actually.  It gives the TTi a smoother appearance.

I've bought a used 25th Alx from eby and found the plier binds very tight in clamping close.i think a case of bent plier.
Special instruction as its 25th anniversary...and LM returned it fixed as new...blades sharpened..tools shiny..etc

Are you asking us to convince you?  None of us really need convincing as much as encouragement ;) >:D  The desire is already there, and in my experience for the most part, that means you will eventually get what you want, whether you need it or not >:D  Heck, I already had a Wave and Charge AL when I decided to buy the Charge TTi, and they are all essentially the same thing, with only minor differences.  I could have easily found a "better" use for the $100+ it cost me to get the TTi, but I wanted it and got it.  That's part of the reason I can't get as many SAKs as I would like.  I spent a lot of money on plier based MTs before getting bitten by the SAK bug, so I'm no longer in the position to afford to get all I want.  Fortunately, SAKs are mostly cheaper in comparison (unless you want a Yeoman like I do), so it can be easier to pick one up on occasion as opposed to spending a good chunk of money on a MT.

No prob ;)  No complaints from me, although I do prefer the AL (the version I own) as I don't care to have two large bit drivers.  Others do though, and that's fine.  The Charges are all awesome in their own ways.  Enjoy your new Leatherman :cheers:

  Too bad Leatherman did not get creative enough on their camouflaged Charge/Wave. Make pictures in the colors, like a Tiger's Eye staring out, an animal form, etc. so when looking at a distance another picture would be seen - instead of randomized colorations.  :D  That would look slick.

Greetings to all,

I am the proud owner of a new Charge TTi.  I just joined the forum to be amongst like minded individuals who appreciate my enthusiasm for a quality LM tool.
I purchased it online through B&H Photo for $99 and $6+ for shipping.  It is the 2013 model with the new scales, and IMO they look sweet!  I won't bother with pics as I believe everyone here already knows what this tool looks like.
I have owned a PST and a Blast and both were well used.  Fortunately for me, I don't live far from LL Bean and have taken them in to be swapped several time over the years.  A good leatherman tool is esential to my daily work as a field technician, and I did not want to send them to LM and thus be without a tool for a couple of weeks.  When the PST was obviously not keeping up with my needs, I purchased the Blast and was quite pleased with it for several years.  Now the blast is discontinued and I can no longer swap it at LL Bean, I decided an upgrade was in order.  Thus my purchase of the TTi. 
I will follow up soon with my initial assesment of the TTi for anyone interested in my experience.

Nice Charges FB :tu:  I have the AL and TTi, and I actually like the AL's looks a little better, but I don't carry it as much as the TTi for some reason.  I think the TTi is just slightly slimmer and it has the cutting hook as an extra use, not that most things I would use that for couldn't be handled by one of the knife blades or scissors.  Right now the AL is in my car, but maybe I'll consider switching it out with the TTi occasionally.

My Ti is older so it opens and closes easier, but there's something about the AL texture that I like.
Oh, and I became a Jr. Member today :D

My AL opens/closes more smoothly than my TTi, and I also prefer the AL's pliers as I don't care about the cap crimper on the TTi's.  Basically, they're both awesome, so I should just alternate between them when I want to carry a Charge ;)  Oh and congrats on becoming a Jr. Member...it's only the beginning :cheers:

Similar for me as well.  I don't use any of my MTs/SAKs heavily in comparison to some, and they are not really abused at all.  However, I enjoy them and love having some on me because they can and do come in handy at times, and that's when carrying them is worthwhile and justified :tu:

Haha, that's how it starts my friend >:D  Hold onto your wallet ;) 

I also have the TTi (same as you, I got the AL first as I really liked the looks of it over the TTi), and it's a very nice Charge.  I debate with myself over which one I like better, and both have their good points.  I prefer the AL's pliers as I don't care for the cap crimper on the TTi.  Also, my AL opens more smoothly than the TTi.  However, despite those points for the AL, I still tend to choose the TTi as the one I carry in my rotation (I keep the AL in my car).  It just feels a little slimmer (it is, but barely 1mm, if that, but it just feels different) and more solid to me.  Also, while I like the looks of the AL's scales, I don't like that how the nameplate is a separate piece riveted on.  One of mine is slightly loose, not much at all, but I notice it and it bugs me.  I think it's just the titanium scales versus the aluminum of the AL.  The AL is almost too smooth in a sense (if that makes any sense ;)) and I just like the feel of the TTi a bit more. 

The funny thing is, I very possibly would never have bothered to get the TTi if it wasn't for my wife offering me a potential multitool purchase as a bribe of sorts to go on a trip with her that I didn't care to do.  I could buy any one that I wanted, and at the time I had not found this site and was somewhat uneducated in the retired Leathermans and other goodies, and hadn't been bitten by the SAK bug.  So I got the only other multitool at the time that I had considered in the past, and that was the TTi.  Can't say that I'm not glad I did :D

I agree Def.  For me, the dedicated flat driver is much more useful, mostly as a pry tool.  At work that's what the flat driver on my SAKs gets used as most of the time.  We'll see how the AL does in that role......

I like it, Terry.  Today was my first day back at work since I got it, and it got a pretty good workout.  :tu:  The pliers are comfortable to use, the flat driver works well as a light pry bar, and the scissors, while certainly not a Vic, aren't bad.  I didn't carry a dedicated OHO folder today like I usually do, but the 154CM blade opened a LOT of boxes and broke down a LOT of cardboard without any issues at all.  Playing with it the past few days has the PE blade nicely broken in to do the lefty middle finger flick to open it quickly.  The saw cut some trim pieces down to make stain samples too.  Overall, I have to say this one is a winner!  :tu:

First, welcome to MT.O!¡! Monrogue is correct. All the handles are made, stamped and put into bins for assembly.

Since I was carrying my ReCharge today, I figured I should probably sign up to the owner's club  :D.

First multitool ever was a Charge XTi. I still have that one and it's retired to the safe for sentimental reasons. It also gets the nod as most carried tool as it saw belt/pocket time for 5 years straight with no competition. (Then I found this forum and everything went out the window  ;)).

I also have the recently retired Chrage TTi which has been modded into a ReCharge variant.

I also have the new Charge TTi but it doesn't see much carry at the moment.

Teletin, I see you modded your wave with a rebar plier, I wonder if you will do it on your charge :-)

If I find a cheap Rebar again, sure :tu:
For now I`m thinking about a PVD coating for the Charge but I don`t know which one.
Maybe complete black in DLC, maybe golden handels and the blades and tools in black DLC or vice versa, maybe only DLC for the blades and tools.......I really don`t know yet.

   Just got a TTI. The first multitool (or knife) I have ever owned with S30 steel. Looks awesome! This is actually the second Charge I have got in the last few weeks. My last one was a BO ALX!  :cheers:

I have both styles. I like the old ones for sentimental reasons (first MT ever was an XTi with old style scales) but I like the look of the new ones as well.

IMO, they are both great and I would not hesitate to buy another with the new scales.

Yeah, that reinforces that I like the new style better.  I think I heard that they are slightly thicker?  I do remember that my Charge AL was just a slight bit thicker than my TTi.

The only thing......I always thought the older Charge series has "only" a 154cm blade and a normal serrated blade but look at the pics.
The other strange thing is......it has the same datestamp as my TTi........05/13 on both handles ???

What you got is a TTi with the old style scales. This is normal and I have one like that as well. The TTi has the S30V blade and came in both scale configurations with the current model being the redesigned ones.

The older Charge Ti and XTi have the 154cm blades and were only available with the old scales. These are retired tools and haven't been available for a few years.

The date stamp makes sense as the only change to the TTi was the scales. All of the inner workings are the same. Leatherman would be using parts from a large batch made at that date stamp and would use them on any compatible tools until they ran out and had to make more. Since this is a TTi, it is possible that it was made near the end of the old scale run and the new scaled TTi you have was made near the beginning of the new scale run.

That is still a nice looking charge though :tu:.

When I think of Leatherman......I always see a Charge Ti in my mind's eye :D
I EDC a Wave RX (Wave with Rebar pliers and two bitholders)daily at work but the Charge is my favorite Multitool and now that I own 2 of them I want more :D
So if I find some more older Charges like a Ti, XTi or one in Camouflage I will buy it......as far as I have enough money  :( :D

@Chako...I love those Camouflage Charge :tu: never seen those over here in Germany :(
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Chako on March 21, 2014, 04:36:39 PM
I wouldn't doubt it. Those were exclusives from the Bass Pro Shop and Cabela's, two big American outdoor store chains.

I have a few more Charges not shown however. I decided to store some away in their respective boxes, so I have the 25th Anniversary silver charge, and a couple of Charge SLVs hidden away.

If you look very closely, you can just make out a few Charges produces for the Danish market. I guess knife laws in Denmark prohibit the capability of opening a tool one handed...so Leatherman removed the blade hole, making them 2 handed. Those were super tough to get in Canada. I had to jump through multiple flaming hoops from the distributor to ultimately an end of the road retail store willing to ship them overseas to me.

I'll take a stab at it.

Ti - Titanium scales
XTi - Titanium scales, extra bit driver
AL - Aluminum scales
ALX - Aluminum scales, extra bit driver
TTi - ?
SLV - ?

But the Capt is right... they are all different so we all need at least one of each :D

Greetings!

I figured this is as good a spot as any for a first post!  I have several Leatherman branded MTs, Wave BO, ST 300, Surge, Blast BO, Wingman and Rebar.  However, the one that I am most excited about is the Charge tti that will be in route on Monday!

Just a little back story...  I have been eyeballing these for a while now.  When the current, new version was released, I got really itchy.  Last night I was combing some websites and 'the BAY' comparing prices and stopped at an auction that has one listed as "New other (see details)" for 94.00.  Needless to say I was intrigued.  I clicked on the auction to discover that it was engraved with the sentiment "Will Scully Happy 40th", and was bought by the seller in a lost mail auction.  I was contemplating buying it when I happened to mouse over a good shot of the tool and zoomed in on the blade.  Not s30v, but damascus!   :drool: I couldn't click buy now quite fast enough.  Tickled that I will soon have a new EDC that, I fear, will start a problem all over again.  I can see more than one of these in my corral in the near future.

Thanks for listening (reading) and I will certainly post pictures as it arrives!

Yup. Closes like it was meant to be built that way. It doesn't have the blade retention pieces anymore, so it gives the scissors room to sit lower. Plus with the bit exchanger on the other side, the pliers can sit deeper in that handle anyway.

I'll see if I can take one tonight after work.

I actually drilled out the rivet and removed the knife retention piece and then re-riveted the lock tab back in place. Frees up a lot of room. Did the same thing to my Wave when I modded it (of course the Wave was done first in case I jacked it up).

I start to give my Charge TTi a beautification :D
First.......I disassembled the Charge and polished the handles.

Before:

After:
(http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m64/GPS12/20140325_065404_zps48ce4b20.jpg)

The Titan handles were then treated with Microblast with ceramic beads.......looks brighter than before :D
(http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m64/GPS12/20140325_065643_zps64eefaa9.jpg)

Tomorrow you can have a look at the new color of the handles, I hope they look good after coating :)

So, here are the handles :)
(http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m64/GPS12/20140327_061150_zps0c3a4eab.jpg)
I`ve coated them with a double layer coating, tungsten plus DLC. The color changes with the light, sometimes they look like the normal handles only a little bit darker and sometimes they look black.

Post by: Monrogue on April 11, 2014, 02:40:20 PM
The more I get thinking about it, the more I begin to think that I prefer the AL slightly to the TTi.  If my TTi had the regular serrated blade and non-cap crimper pliers, I'd be all set.

I bought it over the TTI as I really do not like the hooked blade, but it's never been used and sits NIB in a drawer.  I use a Swiss Tool in preference, a shame really as the Charge has a good reputation as a tool  :)

Post by: Heywood Floyd on April 12, 2014, 10:32:07 AM
I have a couple of the older LM Charge TTi models and sometimes find it a bit more tool than is necessary. On those occasions an Alox SAK sometime gets the nod. But the standard 93mm Alox SAK doesn't come with some of the features that are box stock on the Charge TTi. Namely, scissors, locking blade, higher wear resistant blade steel (CPM S-30V), diamond abrasive file and removable pocket clip. So that got me thinking, maybe a Charge TTi with less could be more for occasions when my needs don't require a fully blown TTi.
So this is what I ended up doing some months ago. It's pretty light, has become a goto tool and does the business with great compactness and competence.

Nice.
The regular bit holder could be there instead of the small one and the prying driver. And there's room on the other side for a couple of tools too, although it would be difficult to implement them without backspring or lockin mechanism.

I use the other flank when needed. It is stand alone, no problem. You can mix and match tools to a degree.
For example one can swap around the outside main blades but the internal tool widths make for some limitation on selection. Only one side can incorporate room for the removable pocket clip or lanyard attachment, whilst the other keeps the fixed retractable lanyard loop.

Nice.

I couldn't get the regular bit holder and scissors to fit in the width. For memory it was wider than the flat screwdriver and small bit holder.
Yes, there certainly is some room at the plier end for some tool(s).

have a Charge AL, which replaced an ALX I lost. I  like the AL better- to me the fixed straight & the scissors are a more than fair trade for a second large bit driver.  Don't miss the gut hook either.

Two questions...

1) the bottle opener function is AWFUL.  Is there a way to mod a Vic SAK cap lifter in it's place? Sacriledge but really.  I don't open cans.  I open beer.
2) What is holding these together?  The screws at the plier and end pivots look like 24-sided bolts?  how do I tighten this bad boy up when it gets loose?  I had my ALX for more than a year and it was getting a LITTLE loose.  I'm a mechanic and use it frequently.  Want to know how I can adjust it like my various BM/Spydercos - wish the body screws were Torx...
3) Design is great.  Build quality is incredible.  F&F is iffy- if a blade like the main plain edge on this came out of the Kershaw factory someone would get fired.
4) Why is this the only LM that has a good blade steel?  154CM instead of 420HC.  That and the TTi with crucible S30V...
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: greenbear on April 21, 2014, 08:45:17 AM
Your question re "what holds it together" is something that I'd be keen to know too. I've often wondered whether those splined pins unscrew with some sort of tool or are a type of rivet.

I specifically didn't but a TTI because I don't like gut hooks, I'd be more likely to cut myself than anything else with one  ::)  Shame they don't make a version of the Ti with the new style titanium scales methinks  :salute:

Post by: ducttapetech on April 21, 2014, 01:40:33 PM
Those screw can be tighened or loosened. Those ar what hold the together. As for as putting a Vic caplift in it, I am not sure. I did put the vic scissors on one. Worked put good.

Correct. But I tend to use two vise grips so they don't slip. Might want to tape the scales so you don't scratch the BO.

To be honest, I haven't read much more than a single page in this thread. I just wanted to chime in and let you know how long it takes to fall in love with the Charge: Just about 45 seconds.
A customer came to the shop today to buy some luggage straps. For some reason, they are held together with the plastic-packing with cable ties, which are a PITA to cut. At the same time I was taking my Squirt P4 out of my pocket, he took a Charge from his belt-pouch and started looking for the gut hook.

Even though it may have seemed a bit odd to him, I couldn't help but ask if I could see it for a minute. I only got to opening the two one handed blades, before handing it back to him. I didn't see exactly what model it was, but when comparing to Leathermans pictures it was either a TTi or XTi - the scales looked more like the TTi, but the blade was made of 154CM steel, not S30V.

tl;dr - In 45 seconds I went from "nah, too bulky and big" to "I want it, noooow!!"

Oh, in case that it might actually be someone from in here: The owner was a male, driving with german license plates, but speaking with a somewhat british accent. If you're in here, you should know you've made me very jealous.  :ahhh

This is a very cool mod.  I was looking at it and thinking it would be neat with a squirt size pliers at the knife end.  Like the Vic pliers just a wee bit larger.

Has anyone successfully put a Wingman package opener on a Charge?  I have a new TTi and want to swap out the big flat head screwdriver for the package opener.  It looks like it is longer and may interfere with the pliers when closed though.

It's longer and more importantly - much wider. So you're likely to run into few issues first up.

If you're keen on package opener, why not modding that big screwdriver just slightly under the tip by adding a notch for package opening? Two birds one stone so to speak.

This weekend I got myself a brand new Ti! It was still in the box (Isn't now!) with all of the accessories. I've always been interested in the charge line but couldn't justify the cost. I saw this one for $50, so I had to jump on it. Not sure it will replace my Skeletool CX for edc use, but I'm very impressed with it.

Just did some research. They do seem to be rather rare. What they are worth I have no idea. But $104 does not seem bad for a discontinued LM. Hopefully somebody will come along and help.

Welcome to the forum.
On my new version (new style Ti handle scales) Charge TTi, the date stamp is as noted by my esteemed East island colleague forum member zoidberg :), that is on the side walls of the main frame.

Hi all,

This is my first multi-tool. And my first post here.

After some intense online research during the last few nights, a lot of which was spent on this site, I decided that the Charge Al was the multi-tool for me. As luck would have it, the Charge Al with "premium" leather case was on clearance at my local big-box outfitter, so I picked it up this morning. It was on my belt before I left the parking lot.

They didn't sell the accessories, so I went a block down the street to the local hiking store and picked up a stainless bit driver extender (last one in stock) and the 21-piece bit kit (both were cheaper than eBay, and I got instant gratification).

Up to this point, my EDC has been a Benchmade Barrage 580SBK, which I'll also continue to carry.

Here's mine;

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02/24/deeb80eaea7588c906ff5cc7bac7a148.jpg)

It was my first multi tool and was carried and used as a proper tool everyday I was at work (building maintenance) for about 10 years it has had a lot of use and also it's fair share of abuse but still looks good and performs well, I think I'm on sheath number 3 now which is about due for replacement.

It was retired when I got my Victorinox Spirit last year, but I think I'll get a new sheath and maybe some new bits and start using it again.

Cheers

Jon

Charge is definitely my favorite, just the right size and comfort. My Charge collection is currently at 12 pieces. Going by the date code:
- 0614/ 0614: ALX BO
- 0214/ 0614: TTi Camo Seclusion 3D, BO (new scale)
- 1012/ 0113: TTi Camo Real Tree, bead blast, no (R) after the CHARGE letters (old scale) this one is a mistery as I am curious to know which retailer LT made this version for
- 0810/ 1010: TTi standard (old scale)
- 0807/ 1007: SLV
- 0807/ 0807: TTi standard (old scale) this one has a raised pad for engraving
- 0807/ 0807: AL stainless
- 0406/ 0506: Ti BO   (old scale)
- 0406/ 0406: XTi BO (old scale) this one has the LEATHERMAN CHARGE (R) letters unground on one scale
- 0206/ 0406: Ti standard
- 1105/ 1105: Ti standard
- 1204/ 0205: XTi standard

All were from eBay. I am not in a hunting mode for the Charge anymore, more like lookout mode for Camo variations, AL BO, ALX standard, and cheap titanium Charges. Will post a pic of my ring of Charges once I get on my PC  :salute:

from left to right, top to bottom in date-code chronological order:

(http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a441/chronoxxx/charge%201_zpsch1jvjlu.jpg)

The XTi BO with unground lettering on one scale. The letters are a lot crisper and easier to read

(http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a441/chronoxxx/charge%202_zpsppqo39a2.jpg)

The old-scale TTi with raised pad for engraving. Next to it is the SLV. The SLV scale is not just plain, boring gray. It is glittering to some degree, quite pretty.

(http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a441/chronoxxx/charge%203_zps3i6s3433.jpg)

Ring of Charges

(http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a441/chronoxxx/charge%204_zpshjrobwk0.jpg)

My absolute favorite - The TTi Camo (may be relegated to number two, if I am ever able to get the 25th anniversary Charge  :D, which is highly unlikely). Leatherman got it right with this one, from the paint job, bead blast, to the leather of the sheath.

Post by: chrono on May 09, 2016, 04:05:40 AM
I think I am getting somewhere with the ID of my mysterious satin camo Charge. It started with this ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Limited-Edition-Leatherman-Charge-TTi-3D-Camo-Brand-New-in-Box-/291758223557 . It caught my eyes with the camo leather sheath. One of the pictures shows the product number of 830796.

A google search for "leatherman 830796" lead me to this (http://smartbuysonly.com/leatherman-830796-charge-tti-multi-tools-camo-sheath-with-camo-molle-sheath/) and this 2012 Leatherman military catalog (https://www.e-barnett.com/ProductDocument/10139/105334_Brochure.pdf , the 830796 number mentioned at the lower right corner on page 12). Weird part is the smartbuyonly has only 1 to offer.

Calling the camo pattern expert, is the camo pattern on the ebay listing Seclusion or Real Tree? The color does not have enough "green" for Real Tree, but does not seem enough "dark" for Seclusion. Maybe it's just the camera thingy... And look at the scale difference: new style on eBay and old style on the smartbuy website.

Lastly, yeah I did buy both of those  :facepalm: (no I did not pay $179 for the eBay one :D, 6 watchers, probably only me dumb/ nut enough to offer  more than others, if any) Those camo leather sheaths  :ahhh

Another one bites the dust... Or, well, joins the club. My Charge AL arrived today.

On the good side: Smaller and lighter than what I thought. I actually fits in a sheath I already have, so I can give it a good testdrive, before I order a proper sheath and bit kit. All internal tools open with a confident click-sound and doesn't clump, except for the scissors, which tend to take the small bitdriver with it, for a few milimeters.


On the bad side: It's in a way worse shape than what I thought. The PE blade is hard to open sometimes - almost feels like the tip snags on something, but I can't see anything. Might just need a good oiling. The file looks horrendous, the diamond-coated side grinds against the scales and it looks like it's taken a bit hig. Might just be replaced in the future. The pliers doesn't open easily, there's some kind of resistance when almost opened and almost closed. Again, hopefully a good oiling can fix that.

So far, there isn't too much on the good side, but this is also my first "big" Leatherman, so I gotta play with it some more, and see if I like it.

The dates codes say 0509 and 0508. May of 2008 and 2009?

EDIT: Ohh, and it's got the 154CM blade - don't know if that's standard on the AL?

Thank you. If I can't work out the issues, I'll problably just resell it. I was actually looking for a Surge, when I saw this at a reasonable price.

I'll problably let it sit in a bath for the night and go at it tomorrow, with a toothbrush, warm water and some oil.

So, this just found its way home with me. Found it for sale on Letgo or Offerup app, 5 mins from my house and got a hell of a deal. TTI 3D seclusion, right (I'm a rookie)? Has the S30V blade.

Just got this today. Cabelas had a sale and I scored this for $125. Has older Ti scales so must be old stock. Extremely happy with this purchase. Will probably leave it in the package for now.

At first I thought it was a mistake but I called Cabelas and the lady told me it was legit and that it looked like I got the last one in that camo pattern. Like I said I'm very happy with this.

I need opinions from you guys. I recently bought a Charge Ti, which I believe 1st production run. It has pentalobe security screws, PAT PEND stamp, 0204/0404 dates. The tool is in fantastic condition with 1 major flaw: the stopping tab for the pliers is broken on the can opener/ bit driver side. If I leave the bit driver empty, the tool works fine. If I have a bit in, the pliers' jaw will be wedged between the can opener and the bit.

Has anyone ever sent a Charge in for warranty claim with such issue? Did they fix the tab or replace the whole channel with another one? Did they replace the screws with the 6-star ones?

On older models, is it necessary to heat up the tool if I wish to disassemble it? I do not have drivers for the pentalobe. On other newer models like Wave, Surge, Charge... I just disassemble without heating. I think of buying drivers to disassemble this one, but am not fond of heating it.

I am thinking that they will replace the whole Charge as I don't think it was something they fixed :-\ Never hurt to email them about it though :think: I would just leave the bit out and carry as is :tu: As far as disassembly I have no experience with the Charges though :oops:

Here is my current Charge status.  :P The latest one is the pimped out, gold-plated with damascus blade TTi by TTC (shogun ed.). I added a gold-plated clip to it. This is the second tool in my collection with damascus blade by TTC. I like the shape of LM blades better, which look more tacticool. Close up on the damascus pattern.

I did not buy the shogun TTi from TTC. It is not the costliest one in the group. The one set me back the most is the Camo TTi with stainless blades (second one from the top, second row). The oldest one by age is the bottom TTi on the right column.

Now THAT is a collection to DROOL over!

I currently do not own any Charge, although I have over the years. I wonder if my issue isnt the extra thickness of the handles which makes for a much wider needed grip?....

I keep looking at them and thinking that would be nice, but then look a the price, and consider all that I could do with the $100-$160. I'm not saying it's not worth it - BUT - perhaps the price IS a tad over-inflated.

That said, I have wanted a camo Charge since Cabellas and BassPro began offering them years ago. It is one of the most beautiful multitools IMO, in existence.

If I could offer you a piece of advice: If at all possible, do NOT sell/trade those. Hang onto them as LONG as you can! 

:cheers:
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: chrono on November 27, 2016, 08:48:14 PM
No, you do not have to go over $100 for a Charge on eBay. The key is to stay vigilant, have a bit of luck, and be willing to back out of a bidding war. I see TTi in very good to mint condition quite often. $70-80 range can be had. Also, don't be reluctant to offer sellers lower price. Never hurt to ask. For example, this one here (http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEATHERMAN-CHARGE-W-CASE-AND-BITS-/172423006056) asks for $95. I bet he will take $80-85 for it.

And believe it or not, my journey of collecting Charges started just over a year ago. I am a late comers, so acquiring a large group like this requires frequent checking on eBay and some luck. Regarding the Camo versions, yeah, they are pretty to look at. I am bias toward the camo finish on Charges to other tools/ brands. I wonder if because the paint job was done on uneven surfaces, and on 4 panels that make them more dynamic and pleasing to the eyes. Also, I lied about my Charge collection. There is a false one in the group  :P The fourth one from the top, on the right column. Plier head, main blade, and serrated blade were from a Wave. I am waiting on parts from tattoosteve to bring it back to somewhat original.

Cabela's is having special offer on their Camo Charge now ($35 Cabela's bucks when you buy their $178 tool). This one is selling the same thing for $129 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leatherman-Charge-XTI-Multi-Tool-Pliers-Knife-S30V-Blade-CAMO-Sheath-Bit-Kit-/391631781231). Again, does not hurt to negotiate the price.

Happy hunting and collecting!  :cheers:

Wondering if someone could help me out with a bit of Charge info. Just been researching before a potential trade. I have been offered a TTi and looking at the pictures, it looks like the first version, similar to the Ti. The differences are that it has the strap cutter on top of the serrated blade and the cap crimpers on the pliers. It was described by the seller as a TTi but i thought that description was for the more recent version with the later handle design. I did some digging and found the XTi (which i thought it was) and this appeared to support my thoughts:

https://www.smartknives.com/Leatherman-Multi-Tools/Charge-XTI.htm

 I mentioned this to the seller who responded by saying that it is the TTi as the XTi did not have scissors but had a double bit driver. A bit confused, i then found this:

https://www.smartknives.com/Leatherman-Multi-Tools/Leatherman-Charge-XTi.htm

 which confused me more as both links appear to be from the same source; Smart Knives. Anyone help me out here? It's academic really as i just wanted to know which model i am considering.

I have lost (stolen from me) two MTs, Charge previous version (which was my first MT so I had a special feeling for it) and Juice CS4., the Charge was lost three years ago and the Juice just a couple of months ago.
Today I got replacements for both of them... Used, acceptable price (cheap comparing against normal prices in my country), and in good shape.
Same version of the Charge  and different but lovable version of the Juice (XE 6).

Therefore, now I can join the Charge owners club if you guys allow me in.

old charge in our country are rarely sell them. most are in the hands of collectors. and the old charge has a different price value. I happen to also have it and I love it for day to day use

No, the case is not LM product, it's just something I put together with a case founded at a garage sale, everything fits perfect though ;)

I have lost (stolen from me) two MTs, Charge previous version (which was my first MT so I had a special feeling for it) and Juice CS4., the Charge was lost three years ago and the Juice just a couple of months ago.
Today I got replacements for both of them... Used, acceptable price (cheap comparing against normal prices in my country), and in good shape.
Same version of the Charge  and different but lovable version of the Juice (XE 6).

Therefore, now I can join the Charge owners club if you guys allow me in.

Now, I want to make clear that this is not just a collecting impulse. I really use  Multitools quite a bit, everyday.

The original CS4 is a real favorite and my most used Juice.  My (redesigned) XE6 works great but doesn't hold a candle to your original purple XE6 in the looks department. I consider the Charge to be the most desirable LM ever made.  The four key implements (regular blade, serrated blade, saw & file) are easily accessible from the closed position and the pliers and interior tools are wonderful useful!

Got a really old Charge XTi in Camo. It has pentalobe screws, "PAT PEND" stamp  :ahhh, and of course, the lovely camo sheath. I love how  crisp the "Leatherman" letterings are. This bring the Camo stainless version to 4 pieces in my collection.

Here is my current Charge status.  :P The latest one is the pimped out, gold-plated with damascus blade TTi by TTC (shogun ed.). I added a gold-plated clip to it. This is the second tool in my collection with damascus blade by TTC. I like the shape of LM blades better, which look more tacticool. Close up on the damascus pattern.

I did not buy the shogun TTi from TTC. It is not the costliest one in the group. The one set me back the most is the Camo TTi with stainless blades (second one from the top, second row). The oldest one by age is the bottom TTi on the right column.

Holy Smokes!!!

And here I thought I had a lot of LMs...never seen that many Charges in one place!

Probably.  If it has a cap crimper notch in the pliers and one small and one large bit driver then IIRC it is an original Charge TTi (the Mk 2.0 TTi had different scales on the handles)

Didn't think I was going to get another LM... but spotted a secondhand Charge today, and picked it up.

(http://i.imgur.com/lyomjlD.jpg) (http://imgur.com/lyomjlD)

06-14 date stamp.  Outside tools open nicely.  Inside tools too.  Pliers are a bit stiff to open, but may change with wear and use.  No wobble in pliers head.  When closed there is no movement.  Solid!  All tools felt a bit 'gritty' when opening, so I put on some 3-in1 oil and will see if that helps.

(http://i.imgur.com/Mi7otC4.jpg) (http://imgur.com/Mi7otC4)

Also came with a leather case, bit kit, and the clip and large lanyard attachments.

It is about 10g heavier than my modded Wave, and feels different in my hand when compared to the stainless Wave.

I agree.

I had a dream last night that the LM reps came by and gave each of us all one of these red AL's as an advertising ploy. It was quite vivid, and as I examined this Charge, I actually liked it a lot.

That said, I will not pay $150 for one, or even half that - and - I don't want the P.o.s. Lenser headlamp either.

This is not my first Charge. Got this a few days back off Ebay. Think it is a black military version of the Charge XTI. It's really a pity that the black paint was badly beat up and the previous owner tried to do some diy engravings or marking...

I had stripped off the paint on the black paint on the scales and did some cleaning up. Pretty sweet looking with the combo colours.  :D

Cool!...As the old saying goes "Even a blind chicken, pecking away in the barnyard, will eventually uncover a kernel of corn"  :D
Few days ago a guy in one of the other forums sold a Leatherman Crunch, like new with sheath, for $25 shipped  :sa: What a deal!..Not sure if some individuals really don't know what they have or they just want to make a few quick bucks.

The guy who sold it to me was a retired aircraft mechanic here in Vegas. His company supplied him with two of them. He never opened the 2nd one because his original one was a tank.

Awesome pics of some awesome Charges y'all!

I know I have been a bit hard on the Charge for what they cost, but aesthetically it is among the best looking MTs ever made. IMHO of course. It is also a very capable MT. :)
I am officially joining the Charge club.  Pictured is my Charge Titanium with a Gruen Solid titanium wrist watch. :multi:

I sent a pair of Charges in, a 1st production Ti and an old-style Tti, for repair. The Ti is most like replaced because of a broken stopping tab and scissor handle. I asked if they would give me a Tti, or if it is a AL whether they could replace the Alum scales with the Ti ones from the Ti. I love those old Ti scales, the reason why I held off sending this in for a few months. Cross my fingers on this one.  :P

I also send my old Charge TTi for repair and asked to give me same Ti scales (I like old design scale more than newer)
They replaced broken knife and ... pliers  ???
I didn't ask to replace my pliers,because my old style pliers was in great condition,and I liked old design pliers more than newer design.
Why they replaced it I have no idea  :-\
The old Ti scale was not changed.

Strange thing about the AL/ALX models. Before I got my first one, didn't quite like the design or the mix of colours and material. After my first one and handling it, absolutely fell in love with them. It's really a handsome tool. The actual look and feel in the hands are incredibly comfortable. If there are people around that have the initial thought like me, give it a try. 100% no regrets. Erm.. Just dun drop them though..

Nah.. I didn't do anything to mine.. Being aluminium, they are very "soft". It will leave a permanent and obvious dent if you happen to drop them from a nice enough height.

Well, I thought I was gonna join this club but I think I got a bogus Charge Ti again!

The "new to me" tool that I just received has the date codes stamped in the handles of 1111 and 1112 which don't make sense if the Charge Ti went retired back on 2007 so I am guessing I got a Charge AL with the Ti handles added!

Am I wrong here?

Thx in advance for the comments!

Not to shabby yourself, Poncho.

However, I thought Americans never bought the AL because the price difference there is low enough to get a TTI instead?

On LM.com the Tti is $170.00 plus tax and the AL is $140 plus tax :o Both new are way out of my price range :facepalm: With 10% tax here in my State and not counting shipping that puts the Charge Tti at $187 and the AL at $154 :ahhh

Seems like those are about the same price as over here then...
From an authorised webshop that is. In store prices go higher.

Strange that cheaper models are so much more expensive here, while expensive models don't vary that much... :think:

I like the Red Cross Charge AL only because of the scales design and color, now that they are selling at a lower price and with free shipping, I probably get one just to add it to my collection. Anybody interested in the SEO headlamp and bit kit :whistle: :D
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: chrono on March 12, 2018, 03:24:13 AM
Please note that the red paint is simply... paint. It will chip/ wear eventually. Because of the paint, Leatherman had to use smooth scales for maximum adhesion. The red really pops with the SS blades. The only thing I wish mine better is with the file rubbing the inside of the scale, with a bit with red paint stuck to the tip. But the file rubbing is a common minor issue with all Charge models. Buy one, you won't regret it. Mine has 0417 date.

Also, the sheath is model 945016, which is now not available on Leatherman site (https://www.knifecenter.com/item/LM945016/leatherman-945016-charge-premium-sheath). You get two bit cards, which come in a small ziplock bag, together with the Charge in the same box. Pocket clip and lanyard ring are included.

Yes, you're right about the paint, same as the Orange Wave and Skeletool RX, that's why I want it as a collector's item, not to be use ;)...I probably do some changes to it and switch the blades, small tools and pivot screws with the ones on my black oxide Charge and add a black pocket clip.

chrono, does the headlamp come in a separate package (blister pack)? Is the tool in the traditional cardboard box? I ordered a kit, but I really don't need/want the headlamp, so I'm planning to sell it on, and I'd like to see clear how they ship it. Thanks in advance!

I'm in! Finally my Amercian Red Cross Charge arrived today.  :mail:

I quite like the tool, but I was surprised it came bone dry, it needed a very liberal dose of lube to make it acceptable, and still there's a dry "ffffrrfff" sound while opening the external blades and my thumb easily slips as they do not pivot that easy. (The lockbars are pretty stiff on the PE blade and file side.) Not as smooth out of the box as I imagined. Of yourse it will break in, it already started to behave better after a couple of hours of playing with it, but still I was expecting a bit more.

The file rub is horrible. :D Also, I was surprised to find an integrated lanyard loop at the tip of the saw, I've never seen that mentioned/shown in any review. (And I watched a few, believe me! :) )

I havent decided yet wheter this will be a user for me or if I will keep it in mint condition for a possible resale in a few years.

Hm, I suspect I'll be a silent member of the Charge club, because after fondling it, fidgeting with it for a day now, I have to accept it's just not for me. I have relatively small hands, and the Charge is just a bit too bulky, bit too large, bit too boxy for me. Although it's nicely rounded and everything, for my hand it's just hotspot upon hotspot when I'm operating, holding it, it's just not comfortable, and if it's not comfortable, you don't have the full confidence to use it as intended.

It's a pity, because I really like the concept, the toolset, the form factor, but such is life. I can only wish that one day Leatherman introduces something like the Wave/Charge in a smaller size. They won't, but one can dream. :D

Anyway, I'll just wrap this tool in cotton and mothballs :) and put it away in the hope that in a few years I'll be able to sell it as a collector's item or trade it for something nice.

Welcome to the club!  :cheers:
My Red Cross file rubs too, but not nearly as bad as yours.  :o
I loosened the screws a bit, centered the file and tightened them, and it got a lot better. If I open the file carefully it does not rub anymore.
As a side note, I have seen tons of videos on the tube about the Charge. You'd be amazed how many files you can hear rub against the scale.

I have a few files from Waves and Charges that are slightly bent, hence I reckon the tendency of rubbing with this tool implement.

I guess I’m a member , picked a Charge + TTI a couple of weeks ago , or there abouts . I like the S30V blade , stands in for a folder , most of the time . I find the handles both classy , and comfortable . I also like the stock nylon sheath with the Anular snap , I suspect it will eventually be replaced by a SKINTH L Sheild , or some such .I rather doubt it will last a year in constant wear .

Not that I’m complaining but my Charge+TTI doesn’t rub , not that I’m complaining ! I did however notice that both my Wave+ , and Charge+TTI exibited better fit and finish , and were less gritty , than previous iterations , I have owned . Maybe Leatherman’s production is getting more dialed in .

Here’s mine, with my homemade bit holder and bit kit.

Bit driver is made by grinding down a 5€ bit holder I bought at some diy store, and the bit kit consists of bits from a drill set I bought in aldi ages ago and some bit holder rail my dad in law gave me with some other old tools.

Redneck engineering at its finest!

Poncho,
Very nice photo and carry!

I am somewhat ashamed to admit this, because I was so hard on the Charge when I first started getting heavy into MTs, but the Charge may be my favorite tool now. :facepalm:
The thickness is still throwing me for a loop, but overall I am impressed with the aesthetics and feel of the Charge series. The Charge+ is a standout for sure. :tu:

Hey Poncho,

What do you put on the file to keep it clean during carry? No matter what I put(or don't put) on my diamond files, they attract dust and dirt like crazy. Easy to clean, but not so photogenic. :rofl:

The tools in the collection have packing tape around the files to keep them pristine. :facepalm:

IMO of course, but the discontinued Ti is a better tool overall. Thinner handle scales to reduce bulk, no CC in the plier head, and is a little more attractive. The 154CM blade isn't much different than the S30V in real-world application. And the Ti doesn't have a gut-hook.  :)

The XTi will give you the S30V and gut-hook with CC pliers, but the XTi is way more expensive if you can find one in good condition.  :ahhh

Finally made my TTi just about perfect for my use. Installed the BO Charge head in the desk-side Blast, where it looks better than it did in the TTi. And then put the fine-tooth Blast SS head into the TTi.  :woohoo:
And I've got a Wave with jacked up pliers and will put the CC TTi head into that.

I didn't get along with my TTi at first.  Those CC plier tips bothered me.  I'm glad I gave it another chance as its been my work tool now for a while.  My Ti sat and sat as I didn't want to bugger it up.  I finally decided my TTi is has been bullet proof so my Ti has been getting the call for work now.  Its a great tool, they both are.

Almost lost this baby flying home from UK to the Netherlands. I forgot to put it back in the checked-in luggage so I had it still in my daypack. During the security scan they picked me out and gave me two options either they have it disposed or I'll have my daypack checked in.

Daypack checked in it is then. Good thing I did that as I was checking the price now...wow I can't believe how much it costs now! I bought it for around 160 euro, it is discontinued now and the successor it costs 250 euro!

I bought mine, used, last year (same version as yours but with a raised pad) for €70.

The large blade had a sharpened edge but nothing too serious. At that price, I knew I shouldn't make an issue of it.

70 euro now that's reasonable price even though for a used one. If I ever need to buy one again, I surely look for used one coz to be honest, the price nowadays is just to much to justify. I know one thing for sure, next time I go to USA for holiday, I'm gonna buy a bunch of leathermans :)

Not a member of this club anymore, just gifted my Charge TTi to my partner who has just qualified as a full time firefighter!
  She said she needed a Leatherman as all the others carried one on their belts.
  I thought the Charge would fit the bill especially with the cutting hook on the serrated blade.
  Needless to say, she was extremely pleased with it, I'm sure she'll put it to good use rather than me having it sat in a drawer.

 I hope to rejoin the club in the future if I can find one for the bargain price I paid.......£70 NIB.

Post by: Max Stone on May 06, 2019, 11:14:36 PM
So picked up my first Charge today, a like-new TTI at a good price.  :tu:

With a few Leathermans in my collection, and a fair representation across old and new models, I thought I'd provide a short summary of the Charge TTI seeing this is my first Charge.

The good

Premium look and feel. The machined and textured Titanium scales look really great, much nicer than the stamped stainless steel normally used by Leatherman. Also, Titanium has a lower thermal conductivity, so it feels uncharacteristically 'warmer' to the skin at room temperature.

Durability. There's no flex in the TTI. It really does have a solid feel and the thick Titanium scales add a sense of additional robustness over its stainless brothers.

Quality blade steel. Rather than the typical 420HC steel, itself a good general purpose knife steel, the TTI uses S30V which is a powder steel made in the US by Crucible Industries and recognized for good hardness and high toughness. Its a very good choice for blade steel.

Tool load and accessibility. A respectable collection of onboard tools, with two good-sized OHO blades (PE & SE), and a good saw and diamond file also outside opening. Inboard tools include the useful large bit adapter and scissors, along with an opener, small bit adapter and decent flat driver.

Plier Usage. The pliers with replaceable wire cutter are now top-notch and hand comfort is good compared to earlier LM designs. No pressure hotspots whatsoever.

Pocket Clip. Such a simple and elegant solution, and so easy to add and remove as needed.

The questionable

Complex construction. While the machined Ti scales are great, they are actually a two-part construction that includes liners for the ruler markings and various slots and folds needed to construct the handle. This complication adds additional width and material compared to the Wave+ which shares the same design, but only with one stamped/folded piece of sheet steel for each scale. So even thought Titanium is lighter than Stainless Steel, the Charge is about 10g heavier that the Wave because of this construction, and several mm thicker.

Pliers OHO. One hand opening of the pliers is difficult because the scales match up so well, with very little shoulder 'radius' on the handles to push your fingers between. The Wave has a larger handle edge radius, so its quite easy to slide your fingertip between the handles to push them apart. The reduced radius on the TTI's handles also means its ultimately not as comfortable on a hard squeeze test compared to the Wave. Marginal, but noticeable.

Missing tools. I'm an awl lover and I really would have preferred an awl (like the Rebar's) to the rather questionable small bit holder.

The bottom line
Do I love the TTI? Absolutely yes! Would I pay the retail premium over the Wave+? Absolutely not. It's a Work of MT Art, but even with the exotic scales and blade steel, I just cannot justify the 70% premium for what I need. I'm just pleased I managed to snag this used one in near-new condition.

Nice overview, Max! :salute:

Have to agree on all points. But, even though I paid much less than US retail for three TTis I have(and one Ti), I must admit to paying almost retail for the Camo TTi. But, that said, my excuse is that it is a collection piece.  :rofl:

Paid $82 for my first lightly used TTi(the one being used), $88 for the 2005 unused Ti, $120 for a NIB TTi, and $140 for the camo TTi(w/ camo leather sheath). $430÷4 = $107.50 per TTi. I can live with that.  :rofl:

Personally, if the Mercedes Benz of Leathermans isn't desirable, my recommendation is the Charge+ over the TTi. Not quite as nice, but can be had for $80-$90 sometimes in the US and is slightly thinner than the TTi. You get 154CM PE blade steel the pull hook on the SE blade, and sculpted aluminum handles that have been coated black with the Charge+. :)
That said, every MT collector should have at least one TTi/Ti. :D
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Aloha on May 07, 2019, 03:13:33 PM
Welcome.  The TTi summary is very well said.  I've often said if you are looking at the Wave/Charge series the Wave is the best bang for the buck.  For those with a thing for Titanium or who want higher end blade steel then.......  I've got the TTi and Ti and both are users.  I preferred the Ti as the pliers were not cap crimpers.  In use for me the CC are not a problem so the TTi became my go to work tool.  I don't recall what I paid for my Ti but the TTi was darn near a steal.  I posted the story of how it got it.  It was cruddy and looked a mess.  I think the seller thought it was done for.  It cleaned up beautifully and has been flawless in use.

Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Max Stone on May 07, 2019, 04:36:09 PM
The outer scales are one piece, but there’s an additional inner layer (liner) for the ruler that the Wave does not have. Maybe different on the older gen?  :dunno:

Is it just the newest TTis that have the phosphor bronze washers between the Ti scales & blades and between the blades & steel frame?
All of my TTis(2017 and older) have a spacer formed on the inside of the scales instead of the washers. I'll take some pics tomorrow. But, that said, I like the idea of phosphor bronze washers on each side of the blade pivots, hypothetically anyway. I know my Charge+ and AL have PB washers on each side, but I am not sure if I really notice a difference. But, perhaps someone with some metallurgy knowledge could chime in.

Any help would be much appreciated.  :)

Posted this pic earlier on my TTI. Not sure of the age of this model, probably 2018 as a guess.

I know that the threads of screwed watch backs of Ti watches can ‘bind’ and lock up, so this is maybe a friction-reducing measure, as much as a spacer requirement. Ti is highly corrosion resistant and has no bi-metallic corrosion risk like you can sometimes get when two different metals are in direct contact.

Bought a "Charge XTi" on eBay, but knew it wasn't one. It was just a 2011 TTi. Price was great though and I really like the older scales.  :)

Added to the Charge squad.

Nice addition to your comprehensive holdings there! Thanks for sharing.
The earlier pic, a few postings ago, was a little older than my current TTi setup. The sheath and accessories are the same. The changes were for two reasons. Firstly I modded it (early ’15) and fitted a set of Rebar pliers.
The TTi in question was my oldest and most thoroughly and mercilessly thrashed Charge and it developed a chassis crack.  See pic …
(http://imgur.com/2Rl9ZaR.jpg)
Leatherman dealt with my warranty claim on the chassis frame failure very well. Now my mostly daily drive Charge TTi has a modern body with latest Ti scales and a Rebar plier head. On that and your very clean looking Blast pliers, did you have to grind or smooth out parts of it to avoid clashing when the tool is closed?
Here’s a pic of my earliest Rebar to TTi plier head frankenstein transplant.
(http://imgur.com/iDOhCsw.jpg)
I was certainly not the first and it's relatively straight forward but does need some grinding of the plier head as there’s minor fouling with the folded scissors etc.
Lol, this plier head is old hat now with Leatherman's latest TTi incarnation.

Awesome looking custom Charge there!  :like:

Fortunately the Blast pliers head is the same one found in the Charge Ti, so a direct drop in. I found the TTi cap crimper to be a negative when using the Charge pliers. I carry a Gerber Pinchy for hardcore pliers use(blunt nose), so I wanted the no-CC fine-teeth pliers in the TTi. My user Blast wasn't getting any use, so it was switcharoo time. The CC TTi pliers fot nicely into the Blast too. :)

For work; the Charge.
For play; the P4.

But, as far as looks go, the new has worn off of the P4 a bit and I am now thinking the TTi is a more aesthetically pleasing design. The scales have more grip on the TTi as well. Polished tools slip out of my hands when I sweat. :rofl:

So this is where the TTi plier head swapped to with the Rebar. The Rebar is no TTi but it’s a boon in a pinch.
I also don’t particularly like or frequently use the CCs. Of late, the CC sometimes gets a run “crimping” molten paracord.

Hi All, been a lurker for ages. I'm curious to know what the differences are between the charge and wave!
Not a lot...better steel used on the main blade of the Charge and a box cutter/gut hook on the back of the serrated blade. Fancy scales on the handles (aluminum or titanium) instead of stainless steel.

Oh, and the price...Charge has a premium over the Wave.

Wave is Leatherman’s top-selling multitool. But if you can afford it, the Charge is better.

A little bit of cheat.. :D The black paint had survived much better than expected. Had been sheath carrying this for the past week, had been handling it rougher than normal to see how the paint will wear. Dropped it into my tool box and gave it a little tumble in it, quite a few times actually. The raised screw helped alot to cushion the tool and paint when placed flat. Some light scrapes here and there. Very happy with how the paint is holding up. Cheap to and easy to touch up again. Black always makes thing look better eh. ;)

Added a Charge  TTi to the stable last week. Didn’t get a chance to post about it till now. It is date coded 0513 and needed a good cleaning and I had to sand one of the titanium scales since the previous owner got carried away with a torch and scorched the scale. A bit of elbow grease and the discolored spot is gone and you can’t tell it ever happened.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I was between the Wave Plus, Charge Plus, and the Charge Plus TTi in the end I liked the look of the Titanium on the TTi so I went for that one. From the sounds of it after reading through this forum I will likely end up with more than just this Charge Plus TTi haha.

I received a new Charge Plus TTI today and noticed some changes to the TI scales and it is a very welcome update. LM started to use bronze washers facing the inside now as well, like the AL series. Very often the TI scales facing the inside are poorly finished and uneven. This bronze washer change eliminated the problem. Well done LM.  :tu:

Left Plus model, Right TTI.

My Charge TTi is my go to work tool.  I love the S30V blade and finally gave it a touch up.  I cleaned it out and gave the pivots some oil as well.  I don't do much for this MT as it seems to not need much.  Here it is with my Ti.  Great tools and I'm glad I finally gave them both a chance as they were more collect pieces initially.

Exactly!

The raised pad was added in order to have the Charge being able to take laser etching for promotional use.

This example never got an etching so the pad just adds something unusual :D

You're welcome and thank you too :D

I have no clue about how common they are.

I asked a seller if he had a Charge, and I got an answer that there was one in a TSA lot. So I bought it!

Got it for way less than a new one and only noticed the difference in it's handle when a member here pointed it out :rofl:

I should research how many are around...

Was there ever a crossover TTI?, a gen 1.5 if you like. Where they introduced the new style of scales before adding the replaceable cutters. Or did they bring in the new cutters in conjunction with the new scales?

Poncho, I actually thought it was a Charge Plus TTi, but when I received it, it was not, just a very early 2nd Gen TTi.

I took a few pictures and compared it against my TTi that I carry everyday.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190927/ac5c08b81890b27712db0a8ee048d418.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190927/3083b85b6930ea0074387d2b75027a0e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190927/d926a7dbc3dcd3fa7ac05e06c4aa7add.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190927/10c74036fe0e8bf75171a787f63bef20.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190927/c92b3e950587aa2669f0d9ef4dcfb316.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190927/b33c293cb603d376e13c1c09ff1d3df5.jpg)

I had a look at it, seems that the base of the Charge is an old TTi, hence the Pat Pend and 0404 Stamp. Then it must have been sent in for warranty work at some point and they replaced the scales to the current one. That's the only thing that makes sense. And it looks like there is another date stamped on the other handle which looks like 0419.

My awlsome Charge TTi

<image went to electronic heaven>

Too cold to go outside at present as the snow is wet and slushy. Want to get two more ST300 awls too, if anyone knows where to get some. One for a rework, and the other to put back in the ST300 I took it from. Also a few washers too.

Thanks Poncho. I’m guessing it was for engraving, as it’s just on one side and there’s nowhere else to mark this model because of the dimpled surface.

I’ve also not seen many other examples. Production stamps are 0904/1104.  :salute:

You mean Ti :think: the Ti is the earlier version of the Tti, it is just a Wave with titanium scales and a 154cm blade. The Tti adds a gut hook to the serrated blade, a S30v blade instead of the 154 and cap crimpers on the pliers :cheers:

The strangest failure!  :dunno: Today my Charge+ broke on me, the outer top of the frame on one arm just cracked on both sides while I just squeezed on the pliers. I was simply oiling the pivots and opening closing the tool, I squeezed on it with moderate force, a quiet cracking sound and it was like that.

That arm always felt a bit looser, had a weaker detent in open position, so in retrospect I guess the frame was faulty right out of the box, some micro cracks or something. But strange nonetheless.

I contacted the local authorized LM distributor, but it seems I'll have to wait a while, as due to the pandemic, Portland informed them that they do not take tools for repair - nor send anything back -, and here the standard (and BO) Charge+ is currently out of stock, so they're not able to replace it. Out of Charge, out of luck it seems.

Not sure it is that unusual ... here's one of my early generation Charge TTi. Admittedly, I took down a plaster board wall with it but purely by hand with gloves and a ladder. I'm no hulk so was disappointed that I was stronger than it ... lol ... after all I didn't break. That crack allowed for enough distortion in operation to clearly notice it. Nonetheless my local Leatherman dealer came to the party so the support is respected and great to have as an invisible part of the multitool. Anyway JFI ...

In my case, this was the first of many Charge TTi models I purchased and also second hand. It was used extensively by me for a couple of years. The blade in my tenure got a lot of use but so did the other tools. The last job before noted structural failure was hard going for about two full days and done as a personal challenge. Do I still have TTi models in my inventory? Absolutely yes and they have also been thrashed and survived very well. The damaged TTi was replaced with a second gen model. Was disappointed only because the S30V in my original, which I'd reworked, had the most wicked convex edge and preferred it to the new straight bevel. Here's a pic from noted job ...

New here but not to leatherman tools. Had a leatherman fuse for at least 10 years, a MUT for the last 8 years and a wingman. Now selling those last two and will be getting a Charge + tti today as well as a Free P4 in the mail. Can't wait and enjoyed reading through these forums lately. I'll post pictures once I get them!

Not as pretty as the others because I carry it and use it every day, but love it!...The only down side is that I can not do any modification because the screws are super tight and if I heat them up probably will melt and ruin the G10 scales :(

I purchased a new FREE P4 but have gone back to my CHARGR TI. For the life of me, I can't understand how they could leave out a decent file and a bit driver. With respect to the file, last night I sharpened a ceramic kitchen knife, with the diamond file. I read on another forum that a mechanic, in a jam, was able to sharpen a drill bit, on the job in order to finish his work. Try that with the P4 fingernail file. And thanks to Zapmaster for his prototype bit-driver. Will have to try that out but for now, my CHARGE TI is NUMBER ONE.

I actually just purchased both a Free P4 and Charge plus tti and honestly love both. I will say that if the P4 had the file and bit driver, it would be my only one. However I love it for its ease of use and it's great for around the house or out and about since it'll do most things you might need. The charge is my tool for while I'm working though due to those two added tools. It honestly comes down to what you usually need and or use and type of stuff you do.

Hi all - I haven't read through the 44 pages prior to this one yet however I will do tomorrow.


Just wanting to say hello and that I picked up a Charge Plus TTi today. I'm very, very impressed. I had purchased a Gerber CentreDrive and had some issues (that you can read about on the Gerber page) so I did some more research and landed on the Charge.


First off, the quality, fit and finish, feel in the hand is just astonishingly higher than the gerber. I am actually extremely surprised at the difference, I wouldn't have thought it'd be this much better. So that was a great first impression.

Am looking forward to carrying it with me and of course being the titanium at some point I'd love to try to change it's color, am sure there will be a tutorial for that somewhere here.

I got mine on eBay below MSRP. I see it occasionally on eBay, so not exactly a unicorn. No need to break the bank on resellers. I highly suspect that it will be an official line-up soon, just like they did with the green/ topo Signal.

My Charge+ with G10 in earth color came in today. I love the G10 scales, but the whole tool is a huge disappointment:
- S30V blade has chipping on about 1/2" from the tip, like jagging
- Serrated blade has vertical blade play, probably someone ground a feel thousandth too much on the blade end. Also rubbing.
- File: some vertical blade play. Suprisingly, no rubbing.
- Saw is perfect on locking, but it catches the scale at the tip.

Granted, I bought it on eBay from a pawn shop, though it was supposed to be unused. Usually, I expect a potential rubbing of the file on the scale, not this many issues. Quality has really gone downhill at Leatherman.

Hello all, new guy here and so I just picked up a Charge plus TTI as a backup to my Wave that I've EDC'ed since 99, broke the plier tip and figured I'd splurge a little and instead of just getting another Wave as a backup I'd get the TTI thinking it is a way better tool, so I'm curious is anyone else as disappointed as I am with this tool, it's a hunk of junk and I'm really not sure if I just got a lemon or if this is the norm for Leatherman now, sorry I'm really not here to knock on Leatherman or sh*t talk about the company as I love my Wave and has been the best EDC I've ever owned.

Hi All,

I want to add a Charge to the collection. Its a bigger ticket item so want to be sure before I purchase one. I'm thinking TTI but the new earth looks good too!

Is there much difference from the standard model to the titanium?

Sorry, its questions probably asked loads of times but would love to know people's opinions! Cheers
Yoda
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Poncho65 on March 24, 2021, 06:12:37 PM
I really like the Charge + :salute: I don't have any titanium scaled LM except for an old Ti :dunno: it is nice but I can't make myself believe it is worth the price difference  :ahhh

Also the only difference between the regular Charge + and the Tti + model is the upgraded steel of the plain edge blade from 154cm to s30v and since all the Charges come with a gut hook made into the serrated blade there is no difference there now. The scales are just different materials and that may all come down to preference  :salute:

It was done using the stock Topo pattern available on the LM customization page. I backed out of the image as much as possible without loosing it on the tool, then turned and arranged it in as many different directions as I could to make it seem different on each surface. Four in total, front and back of both scales and blade.

Cheer HandTools Rock. I had looked everywhere except Google! Sounds pretty tough-stands to reason Leatherman would use the best.

It arrived yesterday, while I was doing some outdoor work. So was able to use it for mild duties and its great to use.

Very true. I hardly pick up my DSLRs anymore.

Here is a Charge SLV included in a somewhat rare EDC kit. This kit has the title: Charge AL & Serac S1 831294. It all comes in a nice Leatherman metal presentation tin. The kit includes the Charge SLV, a Serac S1, a Nite Ize Multi Pock-its, and an Inka Pen.

Some BO Charges. I have no clue why the scissors on the one is not BO (It was an eBay find). Either a repair or something.

I personally think they should had retained that metal faceplate on the older Charges. The newer ones just killed the AL line for me...

Charge + is, that and they have aluminum scales. The Tti + has s30v plain edge blade and titanium scales  :cheers:

Also, I have never bought a new Charge except for the BO Charge + that I carry a lot and I got it for a really good deal ;)

I have never paid full price for one  :ahhh

Once you get into older models the options and differences are different for each one and it would take a while to explain the differences between them all :ahhh :D

The Charge is the multitool I like the best. However I have this problem with the scissors, the spring snaps out of position after only a few snipps. It has been like this ever since it was new.
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Max Stone on July 02, 2021, 02:16:33 PM
Hello Niro,

I had a similar problem. It seems to mostly relate to this 'meshing' of the spring lever tip against the lever. As the metal is stamped to shape, the surfacing is often not smooth and the spring tip can be dislodged as it rides against the lever.

I would suggest filing carefully to ensure the lever is smooth where the tip rides on the surface, and even create a slight 'undercut' to help keep the tip from hopping out.

Also check the main scissor blade (the one that pivots off the body) is 100% straight, and not diverging away from the spring lever.  :tu:

Post by: Poncho65 on July 02, 2021, 02:17:15 PM
That happens with a few of mine as well :oops: I do actually have a couple that don't do that and I hvae no idea what the difference is :dunno: I do wish they would revamp or redisgn these and tweak them a bit because I always end up carrying a SAK with scissors because the LM scissors aren't as good :ahhh

Title: Re: Charge Owners club !

My problem is a gap between the siccors and the spring. If I dismantle the tool and bend the two pieces closer tighter it will probably be just fine.

If you look closely, the spring is straight, but the scissors are bent in a bow. They should only bend inwards slightly after the pivot point of the scissors. (1mm at the tip).

But you are right - it will need disassembly to properly correct.  :salute:

:iagree: It's not a great design as only a little sideways pressure of the scissor blades when cutting causes the lever to pop out. It needs to be captured on the tip like Vic has done since 1990 with the groove on the underside of theirs. But I suspect it's too much of an engineering change for LM to adjust for this (minor?) design flaw. :think:

There was a time when I wanted to do the rebar plier head mod on my Charge but not any more. I wanted the nice new exchangeable cutters and the cap crimper. The first gen plier head is good enough and has served me well during the the last 17 years.
I wouldn’t mind upgrading to one of the + models but my old one isn’t worn out yet and are not ready to retire.
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Max Stone on July 02, 2021, 10:01:01 PM
Nothing wrong with the OG pliers...LM just got tired of swapping plier heads or whole tools when ppl pushed their cutters too far. Some ppl actually prefer the old pliers as the cutters don't get in the way when gripping larger items. :tu:

The blade on my Charge came with a pretty terrible, uneven grind. I touched it up and used it for many years like that, and it cut fine.
More recently, I reprofiled the edge and gave it a mild polish. It doesn't look the prettiest but it cuts so much better than before.

Boy, this thing is sweet, I love it  :2tu:
I knew I can trust your judgements guys  :salute:

Being a new in sealed box item it is perfectly adjusted, the liner locks sit right, no rubbing, the pliers are a perfect and even cut paper.

There was one thing though, they forgot to give the S30V PE blades edge the final finish  ::) (see pic attached). A couple of careful strokes with a ceramic rod took care of it.

Now how am I supposed to finish the last 17 days of the GoBig SAK stack challenge?  :facepalm:

I have to say, I am not sure about any club that would let me join.
But for now...

I have a charge TI that transformed to a TTI while in for service, A TI that remains a TI. A TTI, A Charge AL and Charge plus. And lastly, an ultra light charge coming in at 40g or 1.3 OZ
It does not have s30v or 154CM main blade. It is all pet-g with the orange scales everyone craves. LOL

Thought I’d put a few pics of what I’m carrying at the moment…
Charge plus handles, plier head and parts, minus the serrated blade, that’s from a spare Wave. Old charge Ti scales- modified to take the outer washers, then blackened. Whilst keeping the original pentalobe hardware.

Hi there,
New member here, I came before the Council of EldersTM to seek wisdom.

Irrelevant backstory section:
So my girlfriend's grandfather just passed a couple of months ago, and her father is now going through and selling off the truckloads of random stuff that are suddenly now his responsibility.
Since the old dude was operating along the lines of "Dammit where the #@!% is my... ehh nevermind I'll just pick one up on the way there...", he accumulated a Leatherman Wave, a Leatherman Charge, 3 Victorinox Spirits, a Victorinox SwissTool, some Gedore multitool with pliers, and a couple of other stuff like these...
I've told my girlfriend's dad I'll clean them up for him, so I took apart what I could, just gave the vinegar-wirebrush-WD40 treatment to the ones I could not disassemble, and after about 12 hours of sweatshop grade work, I was golden.
Before I've offered to clean them though, I've got offered to take one of the tools, and I didn't want to accept any of them, but now that I've spent a couple of intimate hours screaming at the tools, I kinda started to really like the Leatherman Charge. In the end I've accepted it, however, the more I tried to find reviews or information about it, the less I seem to know about it.


Question #1: now that I've already done it, it's time to ask if it was a bad idea  ::) : is the "soaking in 20% vinegar --> wire brushing --> clean water --> thorough drying --> basically submerging in WD40 --> wiping off the excess" technique acceptable for tools such as these? It removed all the rust, dirt and most of the weird evil eldritch snot that was stuck inside these tools, but not sure if on a random day they will just suddenly disintegrate because of this treatment. Was this a good method or did I commit a stupid?


Now for the identification:
So it seems very obvious that this is a Leatherman Charge, but there are a lot of versions of it, and mine just does not seem to fit any of the patterns.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

If I've successfully managed to upload the image, then here are the list of "clues" I've collected that might help differentiate between different versions of the Charge, numbered on the image:

The information extracted from these points:

Question #6: Out of these information crumbs, does anyone have any idea what this specific version might have been called?

I would be super grateful for any answers anyone can give. I'm still a bit lost when it comes to the Leatherman ecosystem, but I already really like that people are modding them, and the fact that that's even possible.
Bonus question :D: I've seen knurled knobs used instead of the supersafety uniquesnowflake hole-in-the-middle torx screws on a couple of pictures of Leatherman tools. Are those the newer ones or the older ones? What's your opinion on them? Because I really hate these super-rare non-userfriendly screw heads, while that knurled knob solution seems really nice to me. I know that a security torx set is not such an esoteric and unique object that you have to loot it from some ancient ziggurat while dodging the poison dart traps and the snake pits, but it's always a bad vibe when someone tries to impede you from cleaning out the stuff you own.

Anyways, apologies for the wall of text, and thanks in advance  :hatsoff:

Post by: Poncho65 on November 27, 2021, 06:02:55 AM
Welcome to :MTO:  :cheers:

Not an uncommon Charge but an early one, they started producingCharge models in 2004 :cheers:

Just from the datecode in the handle and the fact it has scissors instead of 2 bit drivers and it has a 154cm plain edge blade make this a first generation Charge Ti :tu: later version were named Tti that had a few changes and combined some aspects of the Ti and XTi :tu:

0205 means February 2005 and the vinegar and WD40 shouldn't be to bad for it :tu: Just don't soak anything that is black oxide in vinegar  :whistle: :cheers:
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Krobz on December 01, 2021, 02:53:16 AM
Okay, thanks for answering  :D
So this is an ancient Charge Ti.
Thanks for the confirmation about the vinegar-WD40 technique, now I'm a bit less anxious about putting high value tools in them  :D

A question I've found "some" answer was about "What's with the change from the ® symbol to the ™ symbol?"
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/leatherman-charge-ti.765834/ (https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/leatherman-charge-ti.765834/)
It seems to indicate that it's an old model if it has the ®, though the only other comment here goes against this interpretation, but I guess that one's wrong. :D

Also, I've looked into the "bonus question", which was about the knurled knobs that are sometimes used instead of the security torx screws. It looks like the community hates them, so I was wrong about my initial dislike of the security torx screws in favor of these. ohwell


A couple of questions still remain though:
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Poncho65 on December 01, 2021, 04:10:46 AM
The meaning "Old" is subjective because the Charge was only put into production in 2004 :D

A 2005 Charge Ti is still an older one but you get what I mean :cheers:

It would likely have originally came with a Phillips/flat screwdriver bit in the bit driver but the Charges also came with a bit card and that double left ended Phillips wpuld have probably came from that bit kit :cheers:

Do you mean the hidden lanyard ring under the saw :think:

If so then mine doesn't have a bevel ??? It looks the same as my 2018 Charge Plus :shrug:

The knurled screws come on the AL, Alx and regular Charge Plus but the 5 point (pentalobe) security screws came on the first generation Waves and the early Charges, then they changed them to the 6 point star screws shortly after and still have those on the current Waves and Charge Tti Plus :cheers:

A true modder has the tools to take the knurled screws off without any problems these days and the mod community here at MTO has no problem with those or the security fasteners  :whistle: ;) :D

Me neither but, probably a corporate gift, or quarter sales record incentive, or something like that; I think that the etched "o" at the end of the "Bacardi"  could be for "O :drool:ro" (gold), a popular rum. I'd stil love to have one though!!!

I'm thinking about joining the club.  I lost my (20) year old wave last August and just replaced it with a half price P2.  I might need something closer to my wave, but if I'm shopping, I'm thinking a Charge might suit me.  I just missed a sweet deal on a used Charge right after the New Year.  From looking thru this thread I see the scales on the TTi changed sometime around 2012ish.  I like the style of the older scales, but wouldn't mind having replaceable cutters (though I only cut copper wire and never had an issue with my wave).  I saw a photo of a charge with older charge with new cutters.  Can anyone tell me if this was a crossover model, or whether the owner replaced the plier head?  Thank you
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Poncho65 on January 08, 2022, 09:16:48 PM
The owner either replaced the plier head or the scales more than likely :cheers:

A Charge is a great tool and any of them are great for edc, a Wave is also a great tool for edc, so you really can't go wrong with either :tu:

Let us know what you end up getting :popcorn: :like:

I love all these pics, and have been green lighted to join the club.  I really wanted an older style scales version, but they are harder to come by on online auction sites.  SO my wife used her nurse discount and got me the new TTi.  I wish I had known about that deal before I recently got my Free P2 (it wasn't free, but at least less than retail online).  I knew when I lost my wave that I wanted a Charge.  Shoulda ponied up, buy once, cry once.  Oh well.  My son is getting the micra (also ordered with discount) and maybe my P2 in June.  Now I'll keep my eyes open for a steal on an older verison if one comes about.

A late joiner, with a half Charge, if permitted to join the club. Ideas inspired by the MTO community with special credit to Poncho  :salute:. I carry the file with me as a separate item to touch up the blade whenever necessary. This thing is so light and unobtrusive I have been carrying this everyday with the pocket clip lately, even when not on the trails.

Ponch, I just realized in order to deploy the scissors, I need to deploy the bit extender first as otherwise the longer MUT bit gets in the way of the scissors handle. I don't have this issue with the standard shorter bit. Not sure if you have the same issue or I did not set mine up correctly. Thanks in advance.

Post by: Poncho65 on January 22, 2022, 03:26:26 PM
Same issue but it is so worth it for me having the extra reach of the MUT bit :salute:

I have dealt with that setup for so long now that I forget that it may be an issue :oops:

I use the screwdriver way more than the scissors but others may use the scissors more, it would be an irritation if one rarely used the bit driver but used the scissors lots :ahhh

Just watched a You Tube video on the Surge, concerning a hidden lanyard loop, and storage place.
https://youtu.be/hW7hKVuct5g
I don't know about the storage space, but the Charge also has a slide out built-in lanyard ring in front of the saw and next to the scissors. 😷👍
Since it is more secure than the add-on lanyard loop, I moved my DIY lanyard to it, and removed the add-on loop.

I dunno if y'all are aware of this lanyard loop or not, but thought I'd share. Forgive me if "old news" and I was the only one who didn't know.

Huh... Present on my Wave too, is this actually intended as a lanyard hole? It's very clever if so and they should actually advertise it, but as they don't it seems like a part doing double duty?
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !

In fact, they do advertise it  :pok: :

On the Wave they don't mention the quick release version, nor do they even show it deployed, just point to the rounded end of the tool. The instructional card for the Bond is just a Wave card and it isn't mentioned on that either.

So... they neither really advertise it (at the very least not clearly and not on all models it exists on) nor do they actually give you enough to go on to use it.

Wave+ instruction - #31 lanyard ring :pok:
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: GearedForwards on March 20, 2022, 10:41:22 PM
Now show me a picture of that manual in a Wave+ box  :pok:

The instruction card that comes with Leatherman packaging just shows a wave with how to open the pliers and use the locks.

Whilst they're shown online:

1) It obviously isn't clearly, or consistent, in how things are shown on the features section

2) Even in your example manual, which you sourced online, THERE IS NO INSTRUCTION ON IT, seriously it just shows it deployed and tells you what it is.

3) Unlike the rest of the tool it's not intuitive, at all. Looking around the tool it just looks like a fastener, and when you deploy it (at least on my non + wave) the entire bolster area around the torx comes loose and rotates.

Here's a video by Leatherman themselves showing you how to use everything on the Wave. The lanyard loop isn't mentioned. The quick release one isn't even mentioned.

I must admit, I had trouble figuring out what it was in the first place on my first wave (in 2013 I think, or maybe 2010)
Same as it is "no so easy" to deploy the lanyard ring on the Juice lineup...

Out of the ones freely available, looks wise I like them in this order.

Old Ti Scales
G10 Scales
New Al Scales
New Ti Scales
Old Al Scales (dislike the name plate design)

That said, will happily take any one of them any day. If limited editions are included the carbon fiber will top them all. Hope they make another run again.

It could possibly work for certain crimp connections that I have to do every once in a while. But I am use to the crimper being closer to the pivot, which provides more leverage. I am not sure how well it would work.

We got about 18" of new snow here at 10k in the Rockies of Colorado. Psyched to have found this TTi. I've been shopping for a Ti since before Christmas, I found this 2011 TTi with LM leather sheath and a nearly complete bit kit for a reasonable price. As an electrician, I can use the cap crimper, so I'm a happy camper. I love the old scales. This tool looks unused, just needed a clean. It was still stiff like my lost wave was when it was new.

I know I've read somewhere in this thread or another on MT.org, but can someone tell me when LM changed the frame or lock mechanism on the charge?  I think there was an issue with perhaps some of the 2007 and earlier.  I am, looking for a Ti, and wonder if I might avoid this flaw if at all possible. 

Also, I noticed that the blade on my new TTi + has a slightly different profile on the spine than the older charge.  Has anyone else noticed this?

Thx
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Poncho65 on May 25, 2022, 02:41:03 AM
I compared a couple PE blades and they look just a bit different :salute:

The problem with the first generation Charges (Ti and Xti) and earlier second generation Waves was the plier rest inside the handle, the pin that stuck up wasn't very thick and some of them had the tendency to bend, some even broke :ahhh after that the pliers would sometimes get stuck in the handle :facepalm: they did a recall and if you sent in a Charge or Wave with a date earlier than that, then you received a newer one with a beefier plier rest :woohoo: unless you wanted to keep the older one and it didn't have that problem of course ;) :tu: Most Ti and Xti will have the smaller plier rest though :think: The Tti shouldn't have that problem even with the older ones of those because they came out at the time of the fix or right at the same time :cheers:

I can't help watching the online auctions in case of a deal. But today I watched a newer tti sell for nearly $200 including shipping. It was missing bits, and used. Why not buy a new one in stock direct from the source

If they are in stock the G10 are definitely a much better deal at their respective dealers :salute: Plus you might even be able to use coupon codes and free shipping, this will definitely drive the prices farther down than ebay :cheers:

Depends on where :
the only dealer I know of that has G10 in stock and is shipping to France sells G10 Orange for 250€, and TTi for 220... It's not today that I'll buy a G10 sadly  :dunno:

Got a Ti from a guy I did some work for. He snapped the flat driver off, and the mini bit holder has a broken bit stuck in it. I like this older plier better. Also came with the sheath but no bit kit.  Tool is in good condition otherwise.  Anyone have suggestions on where to get a replacement flat driver?  I see them at the online auction site.

Ebay is about it for the moment unfortunately (loki-mobile is out because of the situation over in that part of the world) :-\ you can go to the tools needed section here at MTO and request one to see if anyone has one :cheers: you can take the tool apart to remove the small bit (I have had to do this before with a tool I bought, a Wave perhaps  :think: :cheers: ) I actually need a flat driver for a tool of mine as well :D and a large bit driver :facepalm: :ahhh :D

Hopefully you can find a replacement  :cheers:

Hello All! So first time posting here. I've been slowly getting into the multitool world over the last 5 or 6 years. I was rocking a leatherman wingman for around 4 years and I finally decided it was time to get into a serious multitool and ordered a Charge + TTI. That being said I'm looking for some opinions on the grind on the S30V blade as I have not seen any other Charges in person. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised that only one side of the blade has a secondary bevel, and the one side that does have a secondary bevel is rather extreme as well as sloppy IMO. Am I missing something because I was under the assumption that both sides should have a 16-degree secondary bevel?

Welcome to :MTO:  :cheers:

They should be sharpened similar on both sides ??? Must have passed by QC :facepalm:

I usually freehand sharpen everything and don't go by angles as much :think: just try to get both sides the same when you sharpen and it will cut just about anything in normal everyday cutting tasks :tu: or send it back and see if you can get a knife that is sharpened better because S30v is a bit harder to sharpen even with diamond stones :ahhh

Let us know what you end up doing :salute:

Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Jacob Stankowski on July 02, 2022, 03:16:08 PM
All in all I must say though that this tool is impressive. For the time being I couldn't bare parting with my TTI long enough to send it in. My only worry would be sharpening because of the larger cross section. For now though the thing is sharp enough to shave with. I did contact Leatherman to see what their thoughts are. Worst case I send it in when it does go dull if I have issues with sharpening.
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Poncho65 on July 02, 2022, 04:01:50 PM
Good on you for going ahead and contacting them anyways :salute: :tu:

They would likely just replace the blade with one with the correct grind :tu:

@ Jacob, I've not seen a chisel grind on a LM Charge that I can remember.  Its not a bad grind but the beveled side is a bit high for my tastes.  I bet it cuts like crazy tho.  Bummer that LM let this one go into the wild.

@Aloha, if nothing else I will just consider it unique. It definitely can cut. My main concern was edge retention  on a chisel grind on a pocket knife.
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: chrono on July 02, 2022, 11:14:16 PM
That I would consider a "rare find". I would not fix that grind if I were in your shoes. There would be people paying big bucks for "factory error"
 like that.
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Jacob Stankowski on July 03, 2022, 04:41:13 AM
I was indeed wondering along those lines. That maybe it's not such a bad defect to have after all. Seeing as there can't be many that made it out with this style grind on it.
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Aloha on July 03, 2022, 03:23:18 PM
Emerson Knives are pretty well known for their use of the chisel grind.  Here is what they have to say as to why they use it,

There are several reasons for the chisel grind. For any of you who have ever used a correctly sharpened wood chisel for woodworking, you know what a chisel can do. Although a knife is not a chisel, those properties, when applied to a knife grind have almost magical effect. A chisel ground knife, being beveled, (ground) on one side only, possesses greater strength, (due to increased cross sectional mass) and they cut with an ease not found on any other type of blade. This is because there is no parasitic drag produced by the flat side when cutting — no drag points. On top of that, they are much easier to sharpen — you only have to sharpen one side
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Poncho65 on July 03, 2022, 03:26:45 PM
I can totally go with that because I have sharpened some wood chisels crazy sharp with only a regular file :o :ahhh

As anticipated Leatherman confirmed that their blades should not have a chisel style grind like mine does and offered a prepaid label to recieve the tool back so they can send me a new one. As a manufacturing engineer, I only wonder as to how many other operations that this passed through with know one noticing the defect.

Awesome.  I had that TM version and loved it because it was the original Charge, but since I only collect Charge+ models these days I ended up selling it.  I prefer the look of the no logo version.  Not sure which I’ll pick up again to represent the early days.  Feels like I’m missing something not having one at the moment though.

So I sent in my Ti to get the screwdriver replaced. I marked as sentimental.  I like the old style pliers though I have no experience with the replaceable cutters. I got nervous LM might replace the pliers so I emailed them. They said if marked sentimental then only the identified and necessary repairs would be done. I got the tool back this week, and it appears that everything is new aside from the frame and scales,and maybe the can opener. I can't complain, because even the blade was replaced I think. The numbers and letters on "154cm" look darker. But I worry the new pliers are more prone to breaking. Can't beat LM warranty, but it makes you wonder how they can remain profitable.

Pretty sure he got the internals from an Earth but I will let him confirm for sure :salute: I believe he did that mod a little while back before the release of the Darkside (I may be wrong as I see lots of things come through and may be mistaken on the time-frame) :cheers:

// Leatherman Charge+ Camo

“Camouflage isn’t new to the Charge platform but with the graduated Charge+, 5 distinct variations can be found at the time of this writing. 

A ‘Woodland Camo’ pattern was released first and can only be found with their turn of the century logo.  Variations include white text or black test written on 154CM blade.

‘Forest Camo’ was next to be released and featured the same variations above but also had a release with the company’s new logo featuring white text on the blade.

Both models are now considered retired and its anyones guess as to what pattern may turn up in the future.”

so Legend, last year I bought a new charge plus. stupidly I put tuffglyde on it right away not realizing how gritty the pliers pivot is.  I had to send it back in, and the tool they sent back was completely smooth and did not lock up when I reefed on it which every other new style plier head does. Any suggestions on how to break in the plier pivot faster aside from sending the tool back in?
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Legend on September 20, 2022, 10:56:25 PM
If you open the tool up, then grab both handles and torque them with a medium to hard push-pull it will loosen it fast.  Don’t pull outward, pull one handle towards you, while pushing the other tool away from you.  That should work.

I try to be as careful as I can and quick about snapping if it seems like it might fall in :D

that will temporarily release them, but I am talking after you use them to cut hard wire and still be loose and not locked up.

I have a dilemma...

I have been wanting to make a "Half Charge" like Adam and Poncho, so I have been looking for a used Charge in good shape for a good price.  I finally found exactly what I wanted; however, now that the Charge has arrived, it's in far better shape than I thought... it's in fantastic shape and it works perfectly.  I don't think I have a heart the disassemble it to create a "Half Charge"  :ahhh

I started out with an AL as a base for mine :whistle: as did Adam ;) nowhere near as hard to take one of those apart vs a titanium one :ahhh I tracked down the scales and pivots to change one of mine over to the titanium one you see 8)

That Charge is a bit to pretty to tear apart :ahhh plus it is a Ti and they are more collectible than the Tti versions :ahhh

It has finally arrived and luckily I got the old pliers. The handles are stamped this April, but obviously there can be later pieces with the new pliers.

Was randomly looking for something else and found this. Looks like same seller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/274623720747

That particular seller is offering some interesting MTs, but at the prices they ask you would need a very well endowed credit card for sure if you intended to buy more than 1 or 2.

I dont post much in the LM threads unfortunately.  Here is my home carry Charge kit.  I forget why I added shrink wrap to the bit extender?  The pocket clip is so its stays put in the sheath.  One card is enough for around the house but the Pocket Wrench does come in handy so in it goes.

We got a kitten this summer. She might be tiny, but she can deal some damage. I might have to hang the tree in the roof or something. My fiancée is destined to have it this year :ahhh

Post by: Poncho65 on December 02, 2022, 05:41:04 PM
I'm not Aloha :whistle: but it is a Charge ALX :D looks to be black oxide :think: :tu: It and the AL were both discontinued when the Charge Plus came out :tu: they sort of combined the two to an extent :tu:

Here is the Plus model that replaced it :salute: mine is also black oxide but doesn't have the cap crimper or the dual bit drivers that the ALX had :salute: but they did add replaceable cutter (some like them some don't) :D

Received mine today, both sides are 8/21.   I’m speculating it was a Leatherman  instructed price reduction, and Sportsman Warehouse is receiving a Fee for each they sell to compensate for the retail brick that set in warehouse.  My local store had none in stock, yet mine was shipped from that location yesterday.

Here is what the hundred dollar and change set of orange scales looks like after a black RIT dye treatment. Decided one set of orange scales is enough for my Leatherman collection. Can still see a bit of orange, which is enough for me.

Nice job there, pa; love how the color combo looks! :drool:

If you don't mind me asking, did you used the regular RIT, or the one for synthetic fabrics?

TJ, My guess is that it should be durable, as it penetrates into scale/fabric instead of just coating it but, lets wait on someone more versed than myself chime in.
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: pa_strunk on January 20, 2023, 05:55:43 AM
I used synthetic and gave it a 30 minute treatment. RIT dye does a great job penetrating and you can always do a touch up if necessary.

Did you take it apart to dye or just dunk the whole tool ?
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: pa_strunk on January 20, 2023, 05:18:35 PM
Broke the tool down and dyed the scales separate. Seems like I have been breaking more of them apart than I used to even if I am not customizing. They do not dial in the pivots very well from the factory anymore so I heat up tweak and then use a little blue locktite.

I know, mine have not seen any true work use.

I must say, my Rebars, SuperTool 300s and OHT are my work horse tools. And the sheaths show wear as well.

I did try my Wave models, and my Single Surge, yet for me they do not provide the confidence for measuring up to daily needs😔

My JPST, awl shiny and clean will be shoe and tell piece.  The PST will get pocket duty. And my Pulse and Bond ride shot gun in my daily dity bag for plier function when my fingers fail me.

Also, a Wingman, does help me with an occasional Lego project, to handle the tiny bricks that my fingers no longer can manage.  (Lack of feeling!) The spring loaded pliers are very useful for this purpose. Not heaven duty though. 

Yet your RED G10 Charge is sure PRETTY😜 Just Legend’s Camo OHT. Two for the display shelf. 👍🌹👏

Back a few years ago when traveling (gone Mon - Fri), when I arrived home my wife could just tell!  And, when least expecting, she would ask, “buy a new knife this week?”

After, fielding this question more times I can remember, she always knew😜

I asked how? I always paid cash or Cabela’s gift card.  She said I had missing patches of arm hair!!!

Plus I knew better than try to fib, she always knew…

I did have a Ti stamped with TM but I traded it away in 2022 for a deal I couldn't refuse :facepalm: :D

I still have quite a few pics of it though :cheers:

(https://i.imgur.com/94uGLN6h.jpg)

And it did have the PAT Pend stamp :salute: it was made for a few months and I am sure I had the datecodes somewhere :think: I now have an XTi that had barely a few months newer date that just had the R instead of TM :cheers:

Good luck in the Charge collecting as well :salute:

Are the Ti Charges noticeably lighter then say a AL Charge or a Wave?

Sent my 1st original Leatherman Charge AL in for warranty due to messing up the knife blade and breaking off the eye glass screwdriver, here Leatherman fixed it all up and even replaced the pliers head for me! This tool is over 16 years old!

The charge Al is my favorite, but I don't buy duplicates, so how to get around that?

Costco SLV  with the matching sheath, that I'll never use and the pocket clip I will use.
$86 on eBay. Very little wear and actually feels like it needs to be broken in yet. Knives have factory grind, no wear on the file or saw. And even no paint off the large and small bits

Charge XTi Date Code 0204 / 0204

I know many of us have speculated about this and uncovered at least one 0204 handle charge.  I recently found this one that confirms 0204 on both handles.

It is so broken and beat up, I’m definitely going to send it back since I paid a decent little bit of money for it and none of that was stated in the auction.  Plier head and knife are broken, and the plier head rests are both broken off.  It’s nice confirm the existence, but I will wait and find a better one.

The fun was in finding it. 
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Poncho65 on June 14, 2023, 03:30:47 PM
They may change from 5 point to 6 point fasteners  :think: you may want to hold on to it and fix it with older parts yourself. I made the mistake of sending my older one in and it was in bad shape as well. They changed some of the stuff that makes them more interesting and authentically old :ahhh

You should know a collector would rather have an original tool in bad shape than a refurbished one in good shape :whistle: :D
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Legend on June 14, 2023, 03:37:39 PM
Definitely.  I meant return the item to the eBay seller who didn’t disclose or photograph the broken parts.

I can’t fix the broken plier rests inside the handle and the handles are the real rarity so I’m sort of stuck.

New here, this was actually my first ever multi tool gifted to me by my late grandfather years ago. Thought it was lost but recently found it in a move! Looks like the precision bit driver and the flathead are missing and someone (likely a much younger version of myself) tried taking it apart. Anyone here know of a service outside of leatherman for repair/restoration?

Welcome to :MTO:  Bill :salute: nice Charge Al or is it and Alx (does it have scissors? ) if it does then it is an Al :tu: Glad you found it :like: always great to find a lost tool, especially since it had sentimental value :salute:

Most here maintenance their own tools, so I reallly don't know if anyone has a service  :think: you can buy wrenches on eBay to take them apart  :tu:Search for Leatherman parse wrenches :cheers:

Didn’t know about the wrench so that definitely helps and I found some replacement parts. I believe it’s an Charge SLV which from what I’ve gathered was a Costco exclusive.
Title: Re: Charge Owners club !
Post by: Poncho65 on July 11, 2023, 12:10:39 PM
Definitely can see that. The color is a bit off but I have had the same color of the scales in pictures due to lighting with the one I have :salute: the only difference between a SLV and an AL is that the SLV (Silver) has grey scales :cheers:

Very nice one to have :salute: :like: :like:

My first and favourite LM: a Charge Ti (0204/0404).  Purchased this 19 years ago and it's never far from my side.  I still have all the double-ended bits it shipped with; amazingly haven't managed to lose a single one!

(https://i.imgur.com/gDCfuPR.jpg)

The picture pays homage to one of the more grisly tasks I needed from this tool: cutting the jaws from a Shortfin Mako I hooked in False Bay (South Africa).  Took me three hours to land the fish and another three to (carefully) remove its jaws.

Still my daily driver after several years, carried and used daily.  I really want a new one with the replaceable jaws since I use those a lot and mine don't cut so well anymore but can't justify the price.

and the springless eyeglass screwdriver
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
moving on to my favorites the AL and SLV. Solid tools.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
and the plus crew 2 plain plus's a g10 turned into a glow in the dark carbon flake, and the newest, a woodland
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
One of the plain C+ is a first run tool. it has the old logo and is missing the + on the scale

Post by: cnlson on December 28, 2023, 06:14:08 AM
and the last 2
This was a g10, but i never cared for Orange so when i saw someone on reddit had green glow in the dark scales I thought, blue would look better
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
and a week or so ago I happened to see a woodland at a pawn shop for $179. finally wore them down to $125 + tax today
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

I am looking forward to resting the Glow in the dark and rocking the woodland for a while. Just need to get a black clip for it. Thinking about ordering a https://www.amazon.com/Donk-Pocket-compatible-Surge-Charge/dp/B0893XQC94/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Donk!&qid=1703720244&sr=8-2&th=1  (https://www.amazon.com/Donk-Pocket-compatible-Surge-Charge/dp/B0893XQC94/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Donk!&qid=1703720244&sr=8-2&th=1) clip for it. I ended up getting it for $125 plus tax which is a steal, most of these are over $300 on the Bay

The $125 is the most I have paid for any of these, The TI , original scale TTI, AL, and the original run charge + were $50 each, SLV $86. The brand new from Leatherman charge + was $89 after veteran discount (40% that year). The G10 was $108 from sportsman's warehouse last January. The New scale TTI was a gift so i have no idea how much it cost.

i'll keep that in mind. The black leatherman clips are 50% more than the silver which puts them in the Donk price range which is why I thought to try one of those first. I keep waiting for the ratchet or something else to come back into stock so i can do a veteran discount order that is worthwhile. but the things i want (ratchet, crunch) are either out of stock or no longer sold. And the things i have no interest in (arc) are.

I actually prefer the aluminum scaled Charge over the Tti and the Wave but it is just preference  :cheers: The Charge series is a little wider than the Wave so it just feels better in hand to me is all :salute:

It really depends on how many cuts you would need to do in a day, and are you happy to sharpen more often.

https://youtu.be/G-pGckfXhWk?si=6i2s0Pa7nsjSSQ1W

I despite owning many charges have always opted to carry the wave for work, because I worked it hard everyday for years and simply could not bring myself to beat up on a charge the way I did on my wave.

The wave never failed me as I am sure neither would a charge. My waved did get sharpened regularly, but I was fine with that.
