Title: Last Minute February Leap Year Challenge with Leap
Post by: FolderBeholder on January 29, 2024, 02:29:43 AM
Any takers for a 2024 February Leap year challenge carrying a Leap for 29 days?
There's no badge, but I'm sure I can come up with a prize or two for some in challenge challenges.
Sorry this is so late....and it's very likely some of you are signed up for February challenges already and I apologize.  :hatsoff:
Next time this could happen would be 2028.  :salute:

This is the tool, seen below. 
Post a photo of a Leap each day for February 2024.

Anyone in?

No worries.  I suppose a Leap challenge could happen any month, I just thought it would be cool to have it on a Leap year.

I'm interested, but not for February  :(  I need to buy another Leap so I can keep my current one in new condition.
Title: Re: Last Minute February Leap Year Challenge with Leap
Post by: FolderBeholder on January 29, 2024, 07:28:29 PM
I had a feeling Rich_SD, that this last minute timing wasn't a good call on my part.   I understand about keeping one pristine.  Sadly the price of these has skyrocketed due to being discontinued.
It looks like Vicman and I (so far) will press on for kicks and giggles.  :hatsoff:

Lisa,  your idea has merit.   
I remembered an attempt previously to do a Leap Challenge and did search.   
You maybe able to review this thread and possibly reach out with invites to responding parties.

AWL the BEST 👍🌹.  :popcorn:

Cool idea with the play on words as well :like:

Thank you Ponchy for stopping in.  :tu:  You have a day or so left should you want to talk your daughter out of hers for 29 days. 

I'm thinking I may end up liking the Leap.  I like tools that are accessible from the outside.  Time should tell.  :hatsoff:

Just a THOUGHT!

Since this is not  likely to result in a badge, there is not reason a member CANNOT contribute to this thread and be PART of another CHALLENGE.

JUST SAYING, there is no EXCUSE if you own a LEAP,!you can contribute, even if it means you borrow your kids tool for a few weeks🤪.  :whistle:

LC, I'm unsure about the rules on challenges. 
I think you cannot double dip, meaning being in two at once, but like you say, this isn't necessarily a true badge obtaining challenge, so I wonder.  :think:

Post by: FolderBeholder on January 30, 2024, 09:42:48 PM
Okay folks (well Vicman at this time) subject to change if we get more participants, here is your first challenge to ponder.

Days 1-4 have a mini challenge. 
On day one, post your Leap with an item that begins with L.  Day 2 post with E, Day 3 yep, you guessed it A...etc.

You can post anything you'd like on days 1 through 4, but should you meet/participate in this mini challenge, there will be a prize for the winner....likely Vicman, unless we get some more participants!

Giving you a day to put on your thinking caps.

Well… if it’s a 4-day challenge, I want in.  When does it start?  If this is only a 4-day challenge and the point of it is to be a Leap year thing, then I suggest the last 4 days of February.

A person can only go after one badge at a time but as long as they are following the rules of that challenge then a person could participate in as many challenges (conceivably) as they wanted but just no badge for the rest :cheers:

Is it a month long thing, or a 4-day challenge?  I need a break after that PST one.  I could handle 4 days though.
Title: Re: Last Minute February Leap Year Challenge with Leap
Post by: FolderBeholder on January 31, 2024, 04:54:14 AM
Legend, sorry it's a 29 day challenge. 
Within the month I will have little mini challenges for a prize.  In the past when there were more participants, I'd have random.org pick a winner for each mini challenge.

For anyone not in the challenge I have come up with a way for you to participate for a prize on February 7th!  :woohoo:

Your challenge is to create a Leap, out of paper or whatever, even if it is printed and cut out and post it in the thread on Feb 7th.  :tu:

The people in the regular 29 day challenge can participate as well as long as they create a Leap as outlined above.

The prize for the winning entry will be a $50 gift card to Amazon, or whatever place you shop.  This is open to international members as well.  :hatsoff:

DAY 1 (Extra pic for the fun of it)

I used the Leap's pliers to tighten the bolt on my microphone stand. :)

I find it interesting that, as seen in the pictures, despite the Leap's compact size, its pliers compare very favorably to the pliers of the Gerber MP600 Blunt Nose, Leatherman Wave and Signal,
and the Victorinox Spirit X.

I just recalled Steve Irwin educating his viewers that both the Salt Water croc and Fresh Water Croc had teeth visible when their mouths were shut.  An Alligator no teeth until mouth open.

I vaguely recall Salt Water crocs had a narrow snout.

To be honest,!I have yet to be tested in real life those interesting facts.   But will admit I always enjoy watching an episode of SWAMP PEOPLE, so much so, I understand what they say without close captioning.   Even in a dual with a large alligator.

I must admit, your team has spark and interest in this nifty tool, and a search revealed several options for purchase on the auction site.

You my surprise, NOS listings include a Knife blade option. If I read correctly this can be added at later time a child’s supervisor feels they are ready for the Sharp option.
Does this blade then get exchanged with the saw blade?

The other item I noticed is very few listings show the implements deployed, would this because they list the blade? 

How are your models fitted for implements?

TIA😎

From what I have seen you are doing an excellent job! :)
Thank you.  After writing the PST book, I wanted to do this one to see how much could be documented on one tool.  The PST book hasn’t sold out yet from the 100 copies available so I knew going into it, a Leap book wouldn’t sell.  Clearly a passion project and it will be a free ebook when completed.

Day 2 
Early spring according to Punxsutawney Phil!

Letter E for the mini challenge is Elephant.  Elephants hold a special place in my heart as I rode one in Thailand then bathed her in the River Kwai.  She held onto me by wrapping her ears around my legs as I scrubbed her.

I used the knife blade to cut up 3 boxes.

Even though the cutting edge is only 2 1/16th", it is a very capable blade. It takes a great edge and is a well-designed blade . It zipped right through the  cardboard.

I included a couple of pictures for size comparison to other blades.

I used the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the strike plate for one of my doors.

You can open the Phillips screwdriver one handed using your thumb to rotate it.

Here are a couple of pictures comparing the  Leap's Phillips screwdriver with several other multitools. As you can see, it is actually a practical length.

For as compact as the Leap is, it is a very useful multitool for EDC.

For anyone not in the challenge I have come up with a way for you to participate for a prize on February 7th!  :woohoo:

Your challenge is to create a Leap, out of paper or whatever, even if it is printed and cut out and post it in the thread on Feb 7th.  :tu:

The people in the regular 29 day challenge can participate as well as long as they create a Leap as outlined above.

The prize for the winning entry will be a $50 gift card to Amazon, or whatever place you shop.  This is open to international members as well.  :hatsoff:

Thank you for following along with us, gra_farmer!

I don't know why it was discontiinued. Legend will probably be able to tell you. He is writing an ebook on the Leatherman Leap, so check back a little later today,

It was originally designed for children, so that they could learn to use multitools and when you first get it, it comes with the blade separate in the box, so that you can install the blade when the child is ready for it,

Although it was designed for a child, it is actually a very good EDC for adults too. :)

I do think Leatherman approached the marketing of the LEAP awl wrong.
It should have been included as a bundle, a WAVE with a LEAP, package with boys and girls displayed this helping DAD or MOM.  And, let be a loss leader product.

VICTORINOX has their first knife product. Opinel as well, directed primarily to kitchen duty.
Even MORA promotes youth knife education.

Imagine the repeat sales LM could have cultivated🙄

Story time:   This reminds me when I started my P/T job at the Y’s maintenance dept. The first day, given a tour of the grounds, kids are playing outside, and noticed several pulling and swinging a broken branch on a  tree.  I walked over, pulled my  REBAR, from the sheathed and deployed the saw blade and removed the lil token branch. Immediately a boy, stated “HEY HE HAS A MULTITOOL!”,  immediately I had 8 or 10 sets of eyes watching me.  Then that same boy says, “we gave one to my dad for his birthday, it is in his sock drawer🥺”

The next time I encounter that group, they approached me and said, “YOU HOING TO USE YOUR MULTITOOL? Can we watch?”

Occurred several times…  KIDS WANT TO LEARN!!!

Therefore, and in no particular order, are:

Legend with the LEGO entry on day one.  I love LEGO, especially the ones after the 70s and 80s...the current ones are so fun to build.  When I was a kid they were mainly rectangular bricks.

Vicman on day 3 with the Fender Amplifier.  I bet it makes cool sound and makes me want to become a groupie.  :cheers:

Honorable mention to Legend's daughter for being a good sport and Daddy's little helper on day 2.  :tu:

Congratulations to the winners!

But wait FoBe, what do they win?   :pok:

Each winner has the choice of having $20 put into their PayPal or Amazon account  OR a lunch delivered to each winner by DoorDash (to me the better deal), but you must decide!

Thank you, FB!   :cheers:

DoorDash sounds fine to me.

I agree about Legend's Lego post! :)

I love Lego's!

I always had trouble with consistency and pressure.  Nibs would bend or separating causing GOBS and blobs.

Always wrote with hand under the line,  never with the bent wrist technique 😉

Work forms always involved Carbon copies, so ball point pens the norm. 
Today, I have fun with Birthday cards,  eloquent penmanship that is a hybrid of cursive and print .

Sad that some of my grandkids can not read cursive.  It is  foreign to them.  A secret code. 😁

I’d love to do more cursive handwriting, just haven’t done it in awhile.  I use a pencil for most writing though.  I don’t use pens that much anymore.

Thanks to FolderBeholder I was able to finally pickup this leather bound journal from Amazon.  I have a lot of keepsakes and whatnot related to Leatherman that I wanted to scrapbook into something like this.  Perfect opportunity to finally go for it.

Thank you for stopping in Rich_SD.

My fault for thinking up this challenge at the last minute.  My apologies.  :hatsoff:

Oh!  Almost forgot.  I'm doing a challenge on the 7th for anyone!  Read below:

For anyone not in the challenge I have come up with a way for you to participate for a prize on February 7th!  :woohoo:

Your challenge is to create a Leap, out of paper or whatever, even if it is printed and cut out and post it in the thread on Feb 7th.  :tu:

The people in the regular 29 day challenge can participate as well as long as they create a Leap as outlined above.

The prize for the winning entry will be a $50 gift card to Amazon, or whatever place you shop.  This is open to international members as well.  :hatsoff:

DAY 5

I used the Leap's saw to cut a notch in a piece of wood just to see how it works.

The cutting edge of the saw is only 2", so it limits the length of the strokes, but it works fine if you just need to saw a small piece of wood or cut a notch in it. :)

I have included a couple of pictures for size comparison to a few other multitool saws.

Day 5

Good question, LC, currently raining.

Concerns, as I have observed predictions for heavy rains, now being compared to 2023 levels..

From your pictures, i suspect you to be east at base areas of the mountains.   So, if you were good last year, hoping the same for this season.

I know San Francisco area was drenched and likely still getting rain.  I have a auction site purchase reported to have departed SFO on 2/01, then 2/02, and then 2/03.   Now today revised for3/05 with 3/09 arrival.  Was 3/03 all reports prior. :think:

The teeth on the Leap are little shorter than the other saws. There are 11 teeth on each side of the Leap blade, and on the  SwissChamp there are 15 teeth, the Wave has 15 teeth, the Rebar has 13 teeth, and on the SwissTool Spirit X there are 14 teeth.

DAY 6

Here are some comparison pictures of the Leap's tweezers with those of some other multitools.

The tweezers on the Leap are fairly robust and work very nicely.
The ends come together perfectly and grip very well.  :tu: :tu:

I took a very fine piece of sewing thread and gripped it with the tweezers and then pulled on the thread with my other hand and the tweezers held it fine.

I also did the same with a thin piece of paper and they held it without slipping.

The tweezers would definitely work for pulling a splinter out. :)

Nice picture, so tempting to just buy one so I can fiddle when ever I want😁

West coast as well?

Stay safe!  Heavy rains can wreak havoc.  I saw first hand while visiting Arizona several years ago!  Hiking NW of Phoenix a storm was several miles to the North. Came across a group of younger hikers setting camp in a smooth flat area.   My friend (from the area), advised them not a good area for camp, especially with the storms north in the hills as this was a rain gulley.
They ignored his advise.  He preached it with more determination, but no avail.

We went another few miles, to higher ground, set camp and enjoyed the lightning show and thunder to our north expect some rain overnight if the weather moved south.
Never received any rain, the entire area remained dry as we arrived.  To our west we heard a roar, a short walk brought us to a  rapid  river!!!

Water rushing from hills, mountains to our north rushing to the south, to the lower lands.

Instinctively, we awl thought the same thing.  We left our camp intact, grabbed some supplies and went back to where we encountered the kids. 

Everything was washed away ,  their camp, the tents awl their gear, and three on the kids were gone.
Two campers were on our side,  four on the other bank. Just in a daze.   We helped, fresh  water, emergency blankets and after a couple hours the waters were just a trickle and their camp area was just silt and waves of reddish mud drying in the hot sun.

Not a good experience, they said, they watched the same show we did, then when asleep , it  roar was heard, and next a wall of water. No warning!

The missing friends were found, three miles down the valley, not good!!!  By rescue crews.

Water has a lot of power…

    I saw where Lisa wanted to see some do-it-yourself ersatz Leaps.  So I figured why not?  This a a photo of two of my make-believe attempts.  First is my partially successful SwissChamp.  I made it from two lesser members of the Victorinox species and used latex connecting modules to complete the whole mess.  It has plenty of blades and things, but some of them are a little hard to access. 
    Propped up against it is my Leap.  I decided that I wanted a blue Leap.  It has oodles of little gimmicks and jabbers on it.  Very useful.  I had lots of fun making it.  Best wishes.  Gary (IMR)

I have found cutting a thin strip of a plastic Mike carton and cut to length works well at giving the screw new bite surface.

Multiples Challenge for Vicman and Legend.

For day 14, post your Leap with 14 items that are the same or similar.  For instance 14 raisins, or 14 Harley's...it could happen ask my Uncle.  :ahhh

I'm announcing it early so you can get your multiples together.

Not sure if there will be a prize, but it should be fun.

Multiples Challenge for Vicman and Legend.

For day 14, post your Leap with 14 items that are the same or similar.  For instance 14 raisins, or 14 Harley's...it could happen ask my Uncle.  :ahhh

I'm announcing it early so you can get your multiples together.

Not sure if there will be a prize, but it should be fun.
That does sound fun!

I reexamined your picture of the LEGO display and noticed the reflection. Gives the appearance of twice as many😎

I will have to consider expanding my display area to a spare bedroom and dresser. 😜

More uses today.  Bought some new boots, third set I’ve tried from Amazon.  These Timberland boots felt much more comfortable than the rest and when I laced them up the plastic eyelits immediately popped out.  So I pulled out the riveting kit and set my own rivets in there.  Used the leatherman leap to rip out the rest of the plastic eyelits.

DAY 20

Here is my Leap with my Snake Wood Opinel #8 and my Nitecore Tini rechargeable flashlight that has 4 settings...1 Lumen, 38 Lumens, 145 Lumens, and 380 Lumens.

And here is my DAY 20 post for WHAT WOULD YOU TELL YOUR YOUNGER SELF?

If I was to talk to the younger me, I would advise me to be wiser about the money I spent leasing new cars over a 12-year period. I could have saved quite a lot on car payments and insurance if I would have just bought one good used car.

I have never done a lot of driving, so one good used car would have easily lasted during that 12-year period. During that 12-year period I only averaged around 7,000 miles per year. There was no need to have the new cars.

I’d tell my younger self that everything is gonna be alright and to do what you love to do so well, that someone eventually pays you to do it.  Focus on experiences, rather than possessions.  Chase knowledge, and take time for yourself.

What would I tell that young girl? 
I’d tell her, you’ll be okay.  People will look after you when you go through some tough times, even the lunch ladies at the high school will give you free lunch tickets when they know you don't have any money.
You will have a rewarding career where you help people, just like you always wanted.
You may move around a lot as a kid, but once you get your first house with the help of your dad (thanks dad), you’ll stay there for over 40 years and counting.

I just read 5 pages plus, since 2/12(?)

You three are NAILING this challenge and I truly luv the Challenge within the the Challenge FoBe keeping it real.

Since this is the 20th,

My younger self would be instructed to never waste time trying to impress others that criticize  or  are negative toward you  or love ones, even if family.

And, you can NEVER tell your loved ones to often how  much you love them.  Never know the last moment that may be shared.

DAY 22

Here is my Leap with the main tools I use to keep all my using
blades shaving sharp. :)

The 2 double-sided leather strops each have a coarse side and a
fine side and will remove a very small amount of metal to restore
a razor edge.

The black handled Whitby & Co. Sheffield Pocket Steel, when used
regularly, will maintain a sharp edge very nicely. The steel
reallgns the edge without removing any metal from the blade and
it will keep the edge razor sharp.

The Buck STEELMASTER  has a coarse side and a fine side and will
remove metal fairly easily if the edge has become dull. Also the
side edge of the STEELMASTER can be used like a steel by using
light strokes to finish restoring the edge.

The bottom one is an EZE-LAP Model "M" Diamond rod sharpener. It
is 600 grit and will restore a dull edge quickly. It is the most abrasive of the bunch.

Thank you, LoopCutter! :cheers:

 :iagree:      A strop is definitely better for maintaining an edge than a stone.

Scissors on Leatherman, besides the Micra, are the least accessed tool for me.

Most recently, PA_Strunck was sharing a mod he done on his Wingman, including adding a piece of heat shrink to the scissors tab. My first thought, does my  Wingan even have a scissors. Forgot is was outside accessible.

A time before in a SURGE challenge and the first time some posted use of the scissors, I felt stupid, like who knew that brick had scissors too!🙄

@  Vicman - you now need a Green Leap😉

@ FolderBeholder - My mom’s Curio cabinet is filled with dolls, mostly China (head) dolls!  She has each named.
She  was denied dolls when growing up, none of her sisters (3) had dolls.   So when she began drawing SS,  my  dad told her that was her ‘mad’ money.

He bought her the cabinet when the fifth or sixth doll arrived.

When she started, it brought out the little girl in her🌹

After a while, I think she did it to irritate my DAD as the cabinet was full😏.  Because after he passed away she no longer acquired any additional dolls.

They grew up during the depression and WWII, lived with in a half a mile of each other and actually met in high school. Married, built a house north of town just a couple miles if that from where they grew up. Mom still lives in that house. Strong Dutch heritage!

Still rural, a trip to the grocery and not much of any restaurant offerings for miles.  Life is good for her!

I first tried this with the Leatherman OHT, thought I'd see if the Leap can manage it.  Sure enough!

Leap year, an explanation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd1i3vkkh-0

A math teacher in high school attempted to explain this way back when. Understood enough to know that year 2000 did have a leap day!  Just could not explain it simply and was not interested enough to look up. 🥺

Only about 20-30 minutes in.  I like it.  It is a game that guides you through, at least at the beginning.
Of course if she gets stuck, there's always "play through" videos to watch.  :tu:

Nice comparison Vicman!  :cheers:

Sure has been fun.  I do like the LEAP a bit more than I thought I would.

Tomorrow's optional mini-challenge is to post your LEAP and tell a story about receiving something free, (not something from me). 

And speaking of FREE, LoopCutter is going to receive the red Leap I used during this challenge.  Congrats to you LC!  PM me your address.

The Mini Challenges within the Challenge added to the fun.
Thank you for the prizes! :woohoo:

It has been a lot of fun and it has been extra special since you hosted the Last Minute February Leap Year Challenge with Leap during the month of February of a Leap Year. It is a memory I will always treasure. :)

And thank you, Legend for participating with FoBe and me in the Leap Challenge.

I enjoyed everybody's posts and comments.

This is my DAY 29 optional post for the Mini Challenge to post your
LEAP and tell a story about receiving something free

I lived in my first apartment for 32 years. It was a furnished 'apartment. I lived in the upstairs apartment and my landlord lived downstairs.

My landlord had been married to his wife over 50 years when she passed on and his 2 sons and daughter all lived in other cities, so I made a point to visit with my landlord for an hour every night after I got off work since he had no family in town.

He would occasionally invite me for dinner or a snack.

When my landlord passed on his family gave me all the furniture in my apartment in appreciation for the years I had spent visiting their dad after his wife passed on.

That saved me a lot of money that I would have had to spend on furniture. The dressers are all solid wood and very well made.

I still have all that furniture to this day which means I have now had it for 46 years counting from the time I first moved into the apartment.

I really appreciated their kindness. :)

Day 29

It's kind of difficult to narrow down the free items I've received thus far.  From the "give a penny, take a penny" tray at the mini mart, to lunch tickets at my high school, to my master's degree and more.  Though, in hindsight the master's helped me quite a bit, allowing me to understand more within my field and ultimately earn more as a teacher. 

I was at a teaching conference hosted by my district, when I overheard the clerk stating to the teacher across from me that her reimbursement check is ready and that she only needs her transcript for proof of finishing the coursework.

I'm thinking what is this about?  So I waited a couple of minutes, located the clerk and told her I was in classes at the university.  She told me I was in luck because the district had excess money and was paying for anyone who was willing to put in the work, their master's would be 100% reimbursed.   

Wow, sign me up. :woohoo:

I understand!, if you wish to keep both that will be perfectly understandable. 
I went through the same feelings when I gifted my OHT to Rapid Ray after the 2019 November OHT challenge. About February withdrawal symptoms hit and by summer I bought a replacement.  (Am I repeating myself🙄)

Funny I had trouble sleeping too!  Please keep yours and the new one as well.   😉

I will borrow a picture OK👍

Day 29 - Mini Challenge

Knowledge is free, and I have received so many bits of wisdom over the years so I wanted to share one of my favorites:

“Do what you love to do so well, that someone will pay you to do it.”

That’s so motivating for me.  I just love it.  Also this one, “Use the weekends to work towards what you want to be doing in life, not to recover from what you have to do.”

Day 29 - Mission Accomplished

I have deeply missed my normal EDC, but like I said in the beginning… once every four years, I think I can a month long Leap challenge. 

Thank you for everyone participating and following along.  Huge thanks to FoBe for setting this one up and keeping it fun as I mentioned in my previous post.

Best wishes to all.


A Mission well done, Legend! :cheers:

Although there is not an official badge for this challenge.  I have collected some from a royalty free website to celebrate.

Great Challenge.  I enjoyed following along.  I feel confident anyone who also followed along can see the LEEP isn't a toy.  Leatherman bring this neat tool back  :pok:.
