Ordered one :P

Nice. Are you going to try to put scissors and a bit holder on this thing right off the bat, or are you going to let it be for a bit?
I am going to hack it.

Hack it you should, young Jedi.

A half-decent tool then you may own.

Since it has an awl might have to try one.       :D

Referring to that mini implement as an awl could be a little stretch, though  ;)


Awl right. But its better than no awl at awl!    :D      :D

It honestly doesn't look too bad. But now that I've seen more of it, I really don't think it has much to offer over a Rebar (Which can now be found online for 21 USD as a set with a Micra!!) with a separate firesteel and whistle worn around your neck. And perhaps a Fällkniven DC3 in your pocket.

I mean, the extras on the Signal supposedly WORK. But the firesteel is sunk into the plastic and it looks like it'll be unusable after a little while. The whistle looks cheap and the diamond sharpener looks hard to use. For emergency use it's better than nothing. But how do you get stuck out in the woods with just your Signal anyways?

You think someone could take apart a Nitecore Tube and retrofit a peice so it fits in the signal?

Actually, I've tried the Schrade. IMO the tool isn't nearly as well made and the knife is actually worse. The ergonomics didn't work for me as well. I think the competitor is more likely either the Wave or Swisstool. YMMV

Leatherman Signal - is LM making a survival multi?
Reply #1210 on: September 25, 2015, 04:24:38 AM
Nope. The one That I had had the electronic compass. Been two or three years though.

Back on topic. I lent my signal to a friend who manages some hunting plantations here. He told me today that he really liked the feel of it. Neither the carabiner "bite" nor the fire steel bothered him. He's not a knife person so he said the blade works well for him so far. I touched it up a little for him but it had a surprisingly good edge left. He's got it for a weekend hunting trip. I'm curious as to how well it does.

Remember LM reportedly stated some issues with the Signal packaging few weeks ago, it may still be something they're struggling with at the moment.

Called LM, they said they shipped it.
Called UPS, they said LM never gave them the package.
Called USPS, they said they haven't got the package from UPS.



I believe the UPS Mail Innovations is screwing everything up, the package is in fact moving, just lack of entry to the tracking system.

After handling a Signal for the first time at the local shop yesterday I was actually thinking about getting myself one ... But now, after reading up on this thread I'm starting to think that there must be something very wrong with me :think:.

I mean, yes, it has limited functions (but same goes for the other tools in that family, like the MUT/Skeletool/Style CS), but it looked well made, and it felt quite good in my opinion.  And I know that my "light my fire" firesteel will last a lot longer than the firesteel on the Signal, but isn't a multitool always a bit of a compromise compaired to the dedicated version of the same tool ...  :think:.

Anyway, I'm going to give this a bit of thought before I make a decision  ;).

Your right it is always a compromise, but I think what has people not excited about it (correct me if I am wrong) is the whistle and ferro rod can be gotten cheaply and inexpensive. They are already small implements so to limit their function even more at a steep price makes it undesirable. If the signals price point was closer to $60, I think the reactions would be more welcoming. For $120 you would expect all the bells and whistles   you don't get that with this tool. I could be wrong but from what I've been reading that seems to be the problem.

Leatherman Signal - is LM making a survival multi?

I agree but would add that the file and whistle/fire starter take up space that could have been much better utilized. Further, the file can actually rub your hand. There's still a lot of potential here though the carabiner pinch really bothers me.

I see your point  ;).

It's maybe better that I don't mention how much the Signal costs at our local dealers, I fear some of you might have a heart attack ...  ::)

You think someone could take apart a Nitecore Tube and retrofit a peice so it fits in the signal?

I like that.  Definitely missing a light!

We are less than 700 miles away from LM and we don't have a single Singal in store yet.  :think:

Signal is here :mail:

First thing I noticed, even the pliers head appears to be a rebar head, but signal handles spread wider than other LM tools, very uncomfortable to girp. That would be the first thing to hack.
