Arn't you supposed to name the tool before the torture begins?
Nice thread JA :tu: I look forward to how the OHT works for you, but I hope your finger heals quickly. Personally I don't think the OHT is for me due to it's size and it just doesn't look like one that I would care for. I'm glad it's helpful to you though, and I am interested to see how you treat it ;)
She's looking good! Glad she's getting some use!
the second task it seen was using the blade to make a pointer steak
it worked well.

I swear, my first reaction when I saw that pic was "that's a nice looking awl", then it's "no wait, OHT doesn't have an awl, oohhhh right that's the knife".
Good job so far. I think you're one of the first people to put the OHT through its paces and not just write it off as terrible.

I really like this thread. A Leatherman being used for jobs that i would encounter! No IEDs, C4, ARs etc. Plus i lost the use of my left hand for a year so the OHT is a great idea, believe me ive been there! The irony of my left thumb being held togther with titainium plate as i tried in vain to open my Charge Tti was funny; now i look back! yeah, i want to see more of this.

Hey Mike
yes I used the Spyderco 701 medium / fine sharpening ceramic stones and a little water. Followed by a quick stroping on a leather belt.
Cool :tu: Glad to see it's treating you right.
So how you gonna open a sak one handed? :D
You should have just used a Wave or Charge AL for all the tools needed. :D
Sort update
I'm working on a trade for a sak with the file and scissors missing from the OHT.
I don't want to screw up my own topic buy adding another tool but if the tool can only do jobs the O.H.T. Can't I don't see how it can change my topic much.
I need my file and scissors.
I thought I had a trade worked out on a trail guide but I'm pretty sure it fell through on me.Sort update

Woo-Hoo! Love the wire cutting pics! We call that heavier wire 'bull-wire' over here. When i go out specifically to fix our fences i will carry a pair of snips made for that job. BUT as you know when your just out and find you NEED to cut wire ill use my Leatherman which has always got the job done. What about the screwdrivers? Are they as short as people make out? Oh and glad to see you havent had to disarm a bomb yet! ;)
Its also a great coupon cutter and the black finish is low profile in public.
The OHT has been absolutely no help getting my laundry caught up.

I am so getting an OHT :gimme:You will like it. Only thing wrong with it as JA said, is it has no file. Other than that, it is a sweet tool.
It is odd that there's no file on a tool like that. I would think something like the can opener wouldn't fit in with the idea of OHO tools, but that's just my opinion.True, but I have to say I like the oh can opener. Its pretty sweet ganking a can of pork'n beans with an OH can opener/bottleopener....lol

On plier size: I think the OHT head -seems- smaller, because you don't see the pivot. It's hidden by the handles, this contrary to any of the other tools. This makes the head look a lot smaller, even if it's actually as big or bigger.+1
This is a great thread. I hope there's more to come. :tu:

Kind of like we say Vic...
A little more oht info

it mentions leatherman and not a thing about Vicctorinox :rofl:
Not much to take apart. There are some C clips that need to slip off and a couple of screws. They are assembled identically to the Gerber MP400/600 dealios.
Might have to start doing LOHT and VOHT to help keep down the confusion.

It sounds to me like you're lovin' this tool JA :D
Does the OHT come with the molle sheath? If it does is there a sleeve in it, like the one for the MUT which can carry the Leatherman wrench? If it does it would be a great place to carry the file you need! Just an idea that i hope makes sense.
:think:
If the oht jams up with snow and locks up on me next winter I'm going to be pissed. >:(

I knocked it out pretty good before I tried to open it but even after a good snacking out the pliers where very gritty and rough to open. I didn't pack in full of sand either. I just dropped it and picked it right back up.

That's sucky >:( I hope it's easily cleaned.
One would think that since this tool has been marketed as a "tacti-cool" tool aimed at military types, that it would be resilient enough to stand up to generous doses of sand, mud, crazy humidity, and the whole spectrum of conditions that could be experienced on duty. A few years ago, I carried my Gerber MP400 with me to Qatar from Sept-Jan, and it suffered no ill effects from a few sandstorms, and some the highest humidity I have ever encountered.
Although, Minnesota mosquitoes may be something that Leatherman didn't plan on. Keep that baby on a chain!

I know I said I wasn't gonna try hurt this leatherman on porpoise. But I had to find out if it will lock up on me if it gets pack full of crap.
so here's my little experiment .
first I used it as a little shovel to fill it full of small pebbles and dirt/sand
(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/temporary_zps9adb2de0.jpg)
I had to take a pic with the flash to show how full of debris it was.
(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/temporary_zpse502c27b.jpg)
here's what shook out of it
(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/temporary_zps30fb92e5.jpg)
and here's the important part. The pliers opened up with a quick flick of the wrist. I usually slid the pliers open but in a emergency I'd flick them open because it is faster.

The oht got put to the test today.
first this morning I installed two mailboxes with it using its Phillips and flat drivers also used the small driver as a awl again.
then it got to work on a old plow truck we keep running to abuse snowplowing. Pliers tightened the battery clamps flat driver to adjust the carburetor
after lunch me and the oht had a used home to install. The strap cutter cut the straps holding bundles of wood shims and it cut many feet of 6mil plastic. Also cut some wire ties .

i use it for smoothing out styrofoam skirting on homes also I work with metal duct work.

also making a clean metal surface for ground wires .
a file is just handy for me in my tool .
its one less thing I can forget.

The Blades might be a little short, but they work rather well and sometimes you just need a small blade to get into tight places. As for the saw, it is a beast. I tend carry a regular blade with my multi and it seens like the LOHT was made to compliment a dedicated knife.
One of my (and other people's) criticisms has fell on the shortness of the blade and saw, although in truth I have personally found the short blade on the MP700 to be perfectly adequate for many (urban) chores. We can see the length is rather stubby compared to the body of the tool, but is there any chance of comparison pics to the length of the blade & saw on a 91mm Vic and 85mm Wenger please anyone?
:cheers:

and here's the requested pic for 50ft-trad
(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/temporary_zpsb6bd6456.jpg)
surprisingly the oht's saw is shorter than a 84mm wengers by a centimeter or 2
the Vic saw is quite a bit longer.
edit
saw thoughts
I would have never thought the oht's saw was a little shorter than a standard wenger
It's never felt like it was to short when I've used it.
the handle is comfortable to use / easy to grip and hold when sawing.
I'd prefer a replaceable blade but the saw it has works and seems to stay sharp .
one hand opening kicks ass :tu:

the flat driver worked to get them open with no damage to the tool.
the only other tool I've used to pry them open was the crate opener on a swisstool.
this is one tough leatherman.
I used a lot of force /border line abuse/
ive bent cheap screwdrivers trying to do the same thing.
Shouldn't all Leatherman's be tough?

Hey Joel,
Just wondering if a bit adapter that was made for the Juice line as well as others would fit on the philips driver so you can use a vairiety of bits!
If so, that would be great! :D
Has the length of the Phillips driver hindered you in use so far? Any changes you wish for except the obvious one - put a file on it.

well styx
I haven't been hindered by the Phillips driver its plenty long. The flat driver on the other hand is to short.
hmm changes besides a file. Hmm
ditch the can opener for a awl would be my first suggestion.
I'd like to see a scissor offered by putting in a combo edge blade and losing the serrated blade.
leatherman should really make a civilian oht. This is a good tool. It just needs a little work to be a excellent one.
I bought the file I need today for the oht.
I hope to get it fitted today or Monday.

I don't think they are the same even if they have the same 154cm cutters.
The spring loaded plier head is quite a bit different I'm sure it changes how they feel when there cutting.
A few quick questions for you JAfromMn.
How does the length of the tools on the OHT work for you. I have been reading a lot about how short all the tools are including the blade and saw. Honestly I have been going back and forth if I should save for one, but the tools being so "stumpy" is making me second guess buying one. Just wanted to get your opinion on it. Thanks. :tu:
Doesn't the OHT have the same wire cutters as the ST300?
I'm not sure I only have seen the oht.
does somebody have both. ???
I'd like to see a pic if they do.
I don't think they are the same even if they have the same 154cm cutters.
The spring loaded plier head is quite a bit different I'm sure it changes how they feel when there cutting.
How did you scratch up the pliers so much?

How did you scratch up the pliers so much?
there not scratched they had a bunch of aluminum lines from twisting the outside wires off a 220v cord.
no worries they look fine now. A little black oxide damage.

How much would you sell them for? :rofl:
It was to long so I cut it down a little.
I got to thread it again but I should have it done again today.
why do I need a file. For making sharp metal ducting easier to work with and to smooth out foam.

wouldn't it just be easier to carry around a small file, perhaps even without a handle?

and here's the requested pic for 50ft-trad
(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/temporary_zpsb6bd6456.jpg)
surprisingly the oht's saw is shorter than a 84mm wengers by a centimeter or 2
the Vic saw is quite a bit longer.
edit
saw thoughts
I would have never thought the oht's saw was a little shorter than a standard wenger
It's never felt like it was to short when I've used it.
the handle is comfortable to use / easy to grip and hold when sawing.
I'd prefer a replaceable blade but the saw it has works and seems to stay sharp .
one hand opening kicks ass :tu:
Thanks for that JA :tu:
That saw is actually even shorter than I though :o :o BUT at least it's outboard on this tool, which means that more of the blade is usable (unlike the Rebar / ST300 etc)The Blades might be a little short, but they work rather well and sometimes you just need a small blade to get into tight places. As for the saw, it is a beast. I tend carry a regular blade with my multi and it seens like the LOHT was made to compliment a dedicated knife.
sent from my mobile
But it's tiny! >:D All this praise for such a small saw :P It must be like the vicious bunny in The Holy Grail :D
Many thanks for the pics and comments guys, you've convinced me it's really not for me (thank you :D) but I'm very glad it's working so well for you two :tu: :salute:

the rebar might be the tool that kills this thread.
I bought a new bo rebar a day or two before I broke my finger and started this topic
its in my safe now and it really wants out. It needs to be used.
I'm not going to yet. It can suffer. >:D

While the OHT isn't for me (too big/heavy for my typical daily needs), I can see how it would be very useful to someone whose daily work requires the more convenient access to the tools (like you). That's where it would beat out the Rebar or SuperTool, but you must see a reason for switching in the winter. Perhaps because the tools will be more protected from snow, etc?

Il need a complete tool kit on my person. I don't always have a tool box with me.
also I have to see this winter how the oht will handle being packed with snow and ice until I do I don't trust it. :(
Winter is coming if we want it or not.
part 1 of the challenge is complete . 27 days of oht action.And we loved reading all of the updates on how it performed! :tu:
I'm one of them. I still can't decide between tan or black though ::)part 1 of the challenge is complete . 27 days of oht action.And we loved reading all of the updates on how it performed! :tu:
Because if this thread, I'm sure there are a few people that now want an OHT that otherwise wouldn't have considered one.
Now for JA's next challange.......... :D
I think you should just keep using the OHT as it seems to be working well for you and it seems like you dont need to carry alot of other stuff with it. :D

I've really enjoyed watching this thread :cheers: and it's great to see folks paired up with a tool that works so well for them :salute: Personally, I still dislike the tool, but that doesn't stop this being a great thread :D. For me the tool is too big, the blades and saw too small, no awl, no scissors, I have no need whatsoever for the strap cutter and O2 wrench ... and it's bloody ugly :rofl:Couldn't have said it better!
I'm still going to keep watching this thread though - keep up the good work mate :salute:

I don't want this thread to turn into a Gerber vs Leatherman debate
there both good tools
some better than others
Made in USA always preferred
I'm going to shot leatherman a email and ask how much of the oht is made/assembled in USA.
Il let you know what they say

I had to get a pry tool to open a door today.
I first used my oht but it didn't work I would have broken it trying.
my swisstool would have done it with its large pry blade.
I'm also still waiting on a reply from leatherman.
I wonder how long it will take for LM to reply...I've gotten reply emails two weeks after I emailed them so it could be a while.

I emailed them about this thread when I started it so they should be followed
apparently not since I haven't got a email
or they don't want me to know the answer.
the oht kicks ass that I know >:D

If you want the "new" Leatherman Tool company to respond quickly you'll need to post a picture and link on their Instagram or Facebook page, preferably both. Like most businesses now they are very responsive to social media.
Is that an old Case?

I need to invest in one. I sold off most of my pocket tools to pay bills and the ones I still own are special and I don't want to wreck them at work.
maybe I might try making something.
shouldn't be too hard to make. I hopeThey're not too hard to buy either at around $2. If you can afford a OHT, you can afford a keychain pry bar...
County Comm has a few with better prices. I have one and it is nice!Yes, but they are bandits on their only 1 offered shipping method! :rant:

They only offer UPS and I believe that's a ploy to get you to buy more stuff to justify the high shipping cost.

I dont remember what I got charged for shipping way back when I got mine but it does seem alittle steep now! What's up with that?
I hope you feel better soon Joel :tu: You can at least fiddle with the OHT if nothing else :think:
Sorry no action today.
I got my self sick.
Good that you're starting to feel a bit better.
Considering that now you have to switch sheaths the pry tool shouldn't be a huge problem
Nice job on that mini prybar man :tu: You must have a nice little workshop or something as you seem to be able to make your own implements like that file and pointy rod, and now the prybar.
you need rakija. then you'd feel better. šljivovica cures everything except pregnancy (it actually causes 'em)
yep it's alcohol. and the good kind. if made properly ofc
about the OHT, do you miss not having an awl and how would you fix that

I'm working on getting a decent shop at my house. I'm gonna move a big shed in. Then I'm going to buy some tools I've always wanted but never had room for. Belt sander , drill press, maybe a band saw that can cut metal. Also a big maybe is a annealing oven.
I have got a few plans
time will tell if I get it done:)
Thanks MonrogueHere's hoping you can make it work! Nothing beats having your own space to be able to go out and tinker in, and have setup just how you want.
its take a lot of work and more $ than I have but I'm hoping I can make it work.

Hey I got the Rebar. And the Skeletool. And the Micra. >:D

I've been following your utlikey thread.
the main reason I want to give the st300 a try is because it looks like a bigger rebar.
I haven't used my rebar much but I know I like it.

Why don't you make a thread called JA's Rebar Challenge? :tu:
I can't wait for your next challenge thread JA! Did you decide on the ST300, or are you still going to try and get a MUT? Either would be a great read!

Yeah, it really does have a better toolset. I wish they'd add the hammer to another MT though. I've used mine a couple of time at work to tighten up nails in crates and it worked great for that.I can't wait for your next challenge thread JA!

I'm not going to void the warranty of any challenge tools.
I am going to just stick to stock tools.
I know sorryApology accepted :D Just use it a lot and we will be happy.
Another vote for the SwissTool.
I would like to see you do the Swisstool. I've always been curious about that one.

It's convenient that the Rebar isn't on that list, because it's probably going to be my next Challenge tool.

id like to see you do the rebar and a spirit.
I think they both could handle some real world work.
Definitely the Crunch. I love mine. Use it all the time.
What tool would you all like to see me use next
Leatherman Super Tool 300
Leatherman Crunch
Victorinox Standard Swisstool
Gerber Grappler
Bear Jaws Super
all of the above I plan on challenging soon or later.
Just so we're all on the same page.
I won't be starting another challenge for a month or so.
I have a feeling there's a rebar challenge that should keep your all entertained.

JA, just wanted to say thanks for the review. The OHT is missing a couple critical tools for me, but I enjoyed the thread and followed it daily! :salute:

nope I traded it off for a super tool 300
I still have a tan oht I won here from mto,s 5000 member contest.
it is still nib .
I've been carrying a sog powerlock or a swisstool mostly.
the super tool is waiting for my next challenge.

Don't let the oht challenge 2 make you think about I'm going to do a review of it and all I got in it
Mike.
I'm doing that one for fun. The challenge of the perfect carry for me after work.

Between us id rather do the swisstool but I don't think using my old one would be fair.
OK I need a excuses to buy a new one. :facepalm:
I think I will try get my hands on a grapler
id really like to see how it compares to the crunch.
I should be getting a crunch today in the mail.
Between us id rather do the swisstool but I don't think using my old one would be fair.:D I know what you're saying. Some MTs are just :gimme: . Sadly, I can't justify the funds for further MT research for the time being, nor can I say that I use the ones I have a lot. I keep them for the times they'll come in handy, which means sporadically. It's good to know what can be done with a given MT, so I'm grateful for these reviews/torture tests :cheers:
OK I need a excuses to buy a new one. :facepalm:
I'd be very interested in seeing a Crunch vs Grappler go head-to-head though :salute: as many people write off the Grappler immediately due to the plier capacity or slightly more fiddly means of adjustment, therefore "protecting" the failings (in my eyes) of the Crunch from appearing overshadowed by the Grapplers strengthsAs usual, you raise a good point. For me, those two MTs have >:D too many moving parts >:D and that's the devil's lair for me. :-\ :salute:
The OHT challenge is back! :woohoo:
So what is the next MT that you are going to do a "30 day challenge" on? :D
Swisstool? Super Tool 300? Swisstool X? :tu:
Well my cold weather test on the oht came out a little unexpected.
(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/temporary_zpsf964e85a.jpg)
I might have got a little carried away but it could easily happen my world
(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/temporary_zpsb8f35d09.jpg)
I tumbled the oht around in snow while packing it into the blades and the body. THEN I Used a bottle of WATER with a spray head and sprayed water all over the tool. Inside + outside
results
the oht pliers would not fully open after I smacked it around to remove the ice I could
(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/temporary_zpsdc9e40f3.jpg)
I tried very hard using gloved and bare hands to try get it open.
it would not open until I brought it inside.
the outside opening blades and tools all opened / locked after a little struggle .
I didn't get a pic of the outside tools because I dropped my phone in the snow. Dam it. It works but still pisses me off.
well I think the oht will spend its life inside in the winter.
its way better that I know now than find out later.
still sucks. I was going to start edcing it.
if one of the mods could fix my pics it would be much appreciated. I can't get anything but what I posted.
A powerlock has been coming to work most days Mike.
I somehow missed the offensive advertising. Can someone point it out?

I didn't think it was funny.
It's all good though.
In saving money to spend on better tools and not soggy junk.
