Very worthy, darn you shot show, my list keeps growing as others has said, nice to see a more durable coating its amazing what a bit of colour can do to an established range of tools and the new users it will appeal to, freakin excellent Leatherman

[Accujohn]

Not that big on the color thing but this looks sharp!

Interesting, a headlamp with a cool 'looking' Fuse. Which headlamp model was it?

I might not be a Fan of the Leatherman Line like I used too...(I am very pleases with my Swisstool),but I really like the Concept of an Orange Tool with a Durable Finish..As a Driver I have no idea how many times I have used a Multi Tool on the side of the road somewhere in less tha favorable conditions..As in the Dark and of course Snow while making an Emergency repair to keep rolling. I have had a few "Oh Crap" moments scrambling to locate my Multi where the Orange Color would have been a Godsend..Please ask Leatherman if they would sit down with some Truck Drivers and design a Multi just for Us..There is a whole lot of us folks out here travelling up and down the Highways day in and day out...

Great points there D   I wonder if they can do one in Glow In The Dark?

[Dtrain]

I would love to have a Dialougue with Tim Leatherman or an Engineer..A few subtle changes and the addition of what I feel would be a Driver Friendly Sheath System and I feel he would have a hit..but I am just a lowly Driver..But one of thousands lol

Forgive me for throwing a bucket of cold water on the orgy, but I have a techno question.  Remember the problem the Red REI skeletools had when the paint started chipping off?

Was that problem recified with these new Fuses??

We certainly hope so.




The folks at Leatherman tell us that these tools will be given a cera-kote finish, which has a reputation as being much more tough and durable than ordinary paint. However, that being said, it wasn't clear to me if the colored Skeletools were also done in cera-kote...?

[AimlessWanderer]

Yikes - that's not a pretty picture Bob  I think with all coatings the key to it will be the key 

If they spray the standard polished finish expect one result, and if they bead blast it first expect another. It'll be more a test of adherence rather than the coating itself I'd imagine 

[MeadMaker]

That red Skeli looks good to me.  I like experienced tools.

[turnsouth]

Cerakote is a baked on ceramic finish, similar to Vitreous enamel but done at much lower temperatures.

[genevabuck]

I won't touch a painted tool.

Holly cera-kote batman, did they bast them in butter then paint them (do not show this pic to 5hif7y )I really hope Leatherman's new paint is better than what's on this red skeletool

[J-sews]

....baste them in butter....

[Ashley]

Well I loved the look of the ORANGE FUSE  & I got one the other day. I was really interested in seeing how this cera-kote coating holds up , it looks a lot like the same kind of coating LM uses on it's Camo MTs    , I think that is a type of film though  I was keen to see how the high friction areas would hold up on the orange Fuse. I think these type of coatings struggle on MT's non rounded edges  . I was having a close look at where the pliers come in contact with the handles & yep there is already a bit of wear. I think this is except-able IF it does not spread 





It does look GREAT & I do like it a lot , I just hope it does not shed it's skin too much 

[Poncho65]

Well now you can keep us informed on how the coating will hold up MM

I personally hope it holds up very well as they look very nice and if it does hold up we mite see a growth in the number of colored MTs that we see

[Grant Lamontagne]

Most definitely Mat!  We need to know how well this one will hold up, so by all means put it into EDC rotation and keep us updated!

Absolutely!! They did this as a test run for the upcoming OHT coating, and the world's eyes are on this forum wanting to know how this coating holds up. Leatherman's future is in your hands Mat, and the world is waiting

It's funny Al I was thinking of you when I posted that  you being a fellow collector & all 

I am afraid I am simply not the man for the job 

[AimlessWanderer]

 

I've no plans for getting one mate, sorry. All eyes still on you feller.
You can do it mate, we're all behind you

Yah Mat, let us know how it stands up to abuse...

I reckon about the same as your one is Bob

Heehee, so far mine doesn't show any signs of wear whatsoever!

Mat hasn't been around for a while.

[G-Dizzle]

It looks like there is a watch in the combo pack that the orange Fuse was in.   Is Leatherman selling watches now?

If they're as robust as their knives id buy one!

I think he is trying to catch somebody off guard and see if they don't notice how old the thread is

I do wish Mat was around though cause we had some good times
