Shifty suggested we start one as there was not one on here so here goes come on we all know there are plenty of these Freestyles out there bet everyone knows someone with one or 2 lets see em !
I will get my pics up on Mon morning to kick it off
-
I'm in; I bought the Freestyle before I bought the Skeletool. The Freestyle is what I carry when I don't want anything more than a cellphone on my belt (quick trips, around the house, etc.) I actually like the Freestyle better than the Skeletool, because of its size (it disappears in your pocket). Like others have said, I do wish the Freestyle had drivers/bit exchanger on board.
-
nice one rayraychil. :tu:
im in as soon as mine comes in the post.
-
Here are a couple of my pocket pals/buddies hope to get a 3rd an make it a trio soon.
-

great little multitool here. I call it a knife that just happens to have a set of pliers on it.

I'm in :tu: I really didn't like these at all but I've come to like it, I've carried it a couple of times in my bag, its very minimalist, great to carry with something else small and pocketable.
Standard Freestyle model.

I'm happy with it.

So the CX models have a fancy coating then, that I'd like :tu:
-
glad you like it. ive got the standard one on the way but the CX was very tempting. :tu:
-
Still looking for a hardware to connect to the freestyle if I can't find something I will be using one of the holes in the handles for a lanyard connection point was hoping to get hold of a clip of sorts for quick release lanyard but it may have to be a fixed one instead 8(

Welcome to the forum, Tomer. :waving:

There are only two pages for this club. :facepalm:

Officially a member of this club now! I carry my Freestyle in my pocket with a Micra on my keys. I find between the Freestyle pliers/blade and the Micra tool set it makes for a good light duty carry...I might buy a skeletool eventually but I'm not sure...

Don forget to add the new REI Freestyle to the ranks!!!
-
I found a place that still had a Freestyle CX, and it's now on its way to me. Like many I wish that the Freestyle had a bit exchanger. Did anybody susccessfully mod a Freestyle to include one? I've been searching but haven't found anything.
-
Here is mine :whistle:
-
My wife recently bought me another Freestyle. I think I stated before It's best to think of it not as a multitool but more of a knife ...with pliers. I think a small bit holder would have made this way more popular but here it is. It is hard to carry just the Freestyle based on its limitations but the knife and pliers carry their weight well.

Great Freestyles, guys! :like:
Effjaybay,
Is that an older plain edge version, or did you mod it?

Thanks gerleatherberman :cheers:. It's not an older model. I swapped the blade out of a KB knife. I like the plain edge better :tu:

Great job in bringing this old thread back :tu: I have a combo edge one and need to get a pic of it up and join this club :cheers:

Worth noting this is $23 on leatherman’s website atm, I’m guessing its getting discontinued. Things are a little updside down when a Squirt is 33...Style CS/PS is $30ish..and the freestyle is less... :think: :think:

A small Magnet holds the Little Screwdriver and a Needle , the Screwdriver works very good in the “ Mouth” of the Freestyle.
The Victorinox Tweezers and the Toothpik also are safty under the Edge .

Nice addition to the Freestyle :tu: Welcome to the club as well :woohoo: :like:

One that definitely gets overlooked :ahhh
I may try to carry mine some next month th as it's small size should pair well with a Charge Knife and Vic Executive :think:

Nice pic :like:
I am curious. Do you use those self-tapping screws for attaching corrugated wall ties to metal? Or were they on a jobsite and you borrowed them for the pic?
-
Thanks Adam :hatsoff:
We use them to attach 2x4 corner pole brackets to metal framing :salute:
-
Thanks buddy :cheers:
-
No problem :tu: they are handy for lots of other things but that is the main reason we order them :cheers:
Tek5 screws are my favorite though :ahhh they can drill and tap 1/2 inch steel while holding a masonry tie to the building :woohoo: they drill almost better than a lot of regular drill bits 8)
-
I typically use the Tek3 screws sold at Home Depot. If I have to fasten something to thicker steel, I use a drill bit and then a bolt and nut.
However, I would definitely order and use Tek5 screws if I had to attach a bunch of wall ties to steel that could be up to 1/2" thick :salute:
