Hi Andrew,What can you tell us about:-Re-releasing the Mini-Tool-The next generation Wave
I just want to say Andrew, I hope you don't get turned off by any comments made here. We're passionate about our tools, and through daily use, know what we want, and what we like/dislike.

Hello Andrew, welcome! Please suggest Tim some new allied product:-Leatherman+Victorinoxor-Leatherman+SOGor-Leatherman+GerberA new model in colaboration with another company would be a fress air touch, a winner, the best of two worlds! (for example, customizable multitools and compatible spare parts for mods)

(for example, customizable multitools and compatible spare parts for mods)My idea has always been to make a modular tool with user changeable parts. Have a basic tool with empty spots that you could then customize by adding a wide selection of tools to. Add only what you want and pay for only what you want.

I'm a little confused by all the Signal hatred. I personally love the look of it and plan on getting one to replace my Skeletool. The whistle/fire starter and sharpener are all removable, so if you don't like them, then just take them off. That eliminates all the plastic.As far as the Tread goes, let me just say wait until you have seen one in person to pass judgement. It is very cool and as long as you aren't trying to compare it to a "normal" multitool, it is very capable. Lots of cool stuff that isn't really distinguishable just from pictures.And I meant do what we want with them in that they are our tools, not just loaners or something.
You have to look at the Tread like this; it's a cool looking bracelet that is also a multitool. Not a multitool that is also a bracelet. Then it makes a lot more sense.

Hey, my name is Andrew and I just signed up. I work for Leatherman as a machinist where I setup, run and adjust many of their CNC's that create multiple different parts for many different tools. Lately I've been working on some new robotically loaded cells that machine jaw halves.Anyways, just wanted to say hi! Feel free to ask me any questions about how Leatherman products are made. I certainly don't know everything and can't tell you everything, but I'll try my best. Alternatively, you can take the factory tour if you are ever in Portland. There is some very cool stuff to see.
Very nice to have you with us Andrew. Don't feel too pressured to represent Leatherman, you're more than welcome to simply be another multitool nutter like the rest of us.
