I like many of the retired Leatherman MT's, so even though I already have one, if I see one on eBay in NIB or Mint condition that catches my eye I will bid on it. Recently I bid on and "won" a Leatherman Value Pack. I had never bought a Leatherman MT in any other type of Value Pack other than the occasional MT & Flashlight Combo. So when I saw this Value Pack I bid on it and won it for a decent price, $61.
It made me wonder what other types of Value Packs Leatherman has sold over the years. If you've bought a Leatherman Value Pack in the past let's here about it, unless you haven't opened it yet, then let's see it. If you buy one in the future, post some pictures. I'd be interested to see what other Value Packs Leatherman has produced over the years.
This Value Pack was a Super Tool 200 with a Nylon Sheath, Barska Trend Field Glasses (8 X 21) and a Butane Storm Proof lighter. The Storm Proof Lighter is made by DAC Technologies. I have never heard of them before. Both the binoculars and the storm proof lighter aren't top of the line in their fields but both seem to be decent quality. All in all I'm pleased with the Value Pack. Especially enlight that I probably would have paid $61 for the Super Tool 200 NIB alone. :D

That's a really nice find! :salute:
(I'm not a SuperTool 200 fan, but still that's a fabulous price)
-
Thanks 1jump, that's a great find IMO. :)

Thanks 1jump, that's a great find IMO. :)
Now that I've had a day to play around with the other items I can say the lighter is a bit cheesy. It works but I don't think I would rely on it. The field glasses/binoculars are decent for their size. I actually didn't expect much but they turned out to be better than I expected.
I was hoping others had purchased Value Packs in the past but evidently, due to the lack of response, that isn't the case. :D

I've not seen any, but if it makes you feel any better, I dreamt I'd found over twenty combo packs of Victorinox SwissTool/SwissTool Spirit/Leatherman Micra for $40 at Big Lots... damn these evil dreams of mine. :cry:

MT value packs are hard to come by where I live. :( and Sazabi.. I think that is what we call 'obsession'. >:D

Yup, but what can I say? I'm a thrifty sale-bum, always keeping my eyes open for good prices... which is why I hate Craigslist... someone wants $35 for a NIB SuperTool, but I don't want to drive 45 minutes to pick it up. :/
-
The best value pack of all time in my opinion was the Core, Crater, Bit kit combo at Home Depot two Christmases ago. If I remember it was 35-40.00.
-
I don't know if this was a "value pack" or not, but I just bought my son a LM Blast and Micra packaged together as a special deal. On the package it said "$75 value" and it originally sold for $49.99.
This month they were reduced on clearance to $34.99 and my son had a $15 gift card, so he got 2 new LM tools for a total of $22.76.
I thought that was a pretty good deal.

Now you've gone an put some dream fodder in my head. I'll probably have visions of Vic MT's dancing in my head tonight. :D

Welcome to MTO :cheers: That sounds like a Value Pack to me.
-
I love a great deal. Not a value pack but a heck of a great deal on Vic Soldiers. Several years ago they were closing them out for $10. Bought a bunch! :climber:
-
Over the past few years
Core with LM knife and bit kit $40 X2 one went to my uncle
Kick with Micra $30
Fuse with Monarch 200 $33.39 the light went to my coworker
:cheers:
-
My Blast came in a nice metal tin with a clip watch that I have carried clipped on me everyday for the last 2 years :o :D Seems like I gave around $59 for it and that is a good deal considering I got it at a knife store that is expensive on LM :D
-
My very first MT , a Surge Pack came with a cool watch which I use at work, it came in a LM tin. It was a gift from my wife & I think it was a OZ market only set :think:

I also got the Core pack which included ; a Core :P :D , E301 LM knife , bit kit + bit holder & a extension tool bit. At $39us I thought it was a steal but I think these sets went as low as $20us in the shops in the US :o :o :o :o :o.
I saw a Kick & torch combo for around $30aus on OZ Ebay , Tinnie bought a couple. I think it had a silver colored torch (early LM torch :think: :think: :think:).
That price was a steal for OZ prices. I was tempted to get one for the torch but did not , the Kick is about the only LM I am not interested in :think: :think:
-
Mat,
That watch is very interesting. Is that a carabiner? I like the light and compass on it too. :tu:
-
Yep it is a carabiner :D :D, not sure how accurate the compass is though :think: I could check it against our GPS :think:
It is a nice watch made in Japan , the first one I had was broken out of the box >:( but the OZ importer replaced it once I sent the broken one in.
This OZ ebay seller has similar ones for sale

I think Joe mentioned Zen Imports(OZ LM Importer) has permission to sell these LM watches.I do not think they are available in any other markets :think: :think: :think:
I like the silver wrist watch myself :D :D. Go to products , accessories & then watches in the link below. :D :D

That is interesting. I wonder why they are just limited to the Australian market? :think: I would buy one if they were available in the US. Great information, thanks. :tu:
-
I like the look of this one a lot. :drool:

And they have "new" lights as well! ;)
-
Does anyone know who makes the watches for Leatherman? Is it a company like Casio etc. or are they contracted out by Leatherman? I've got some other "irons in the fire" I'm looking for but now Mat has sparked my interest in these too. Does it ever end...... :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
-
Paperwork that came with my carabiner watch was decidedly sparse , 12 mnth warranty + very basic instructions. The watch does have made in Japan on it but that is it. I think they are a 'good' quality watch not 'great' quality watch :think: :think:

Awww......and here I was hoping Rolex made them. :D I'm sure they are decent enough quality. I will most likely get one but I've got a few items to check off my list first. I still think they are cool, especially in a Value Pack.

I have one of those also MultiMat. I bought it at the local gun shop. I don't think it was an Australia only item.
Here are a few other value packs.

Here is mine. It is a neat little watch, that is for sure.

Hi,
This watch was available with a Stainless Blast in a tin case in the US in 2006. The product number for this set was 830757.

Joe do you know if the wrist watches available through OZ Leatherman, are they sold in any other markets :think: :think:.
:cheers:
-
With the exception of the carabiner watch that we've discussed, I haven't seen the other Oz watches anywhere else. I will say that their wrist watches are huge.
Best - Joe

Thanks Joe , I thought as much :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Mat,
I've seen a couple Value Packs online that have the carabiner watch and a Blast. It's the same carabiner watch you and Chako have. I think the Value Pack was $55. I don't need another Blast though, so I will probably wait. I like some of those other digital clip watches better.
-
I recently got a kick/micra combo for $26. I think around Christmas time they were going for $40-45?
-
About 2-3 weeks before Christmas, Academy Sports and Outdoors, had Kick/Micra combos for $19.99. True story.
