Poke fun at Gerber all you want, but at least they are designing new stuff and not just breaking their tools in half and selling them as something new.....   :pok:

  Noticed that. Leatherman died out of new ideas instead of listing to their customers?

Leatherman is a victim of their own success, plain and simple.

They aren't hungry anymore, and it seems the main customers they are listening to are the mindless zombie fanboys on their FB page.  There's no reason to improve any more because the feedback they are getting is that they are wonderful, they will always be wonderful and they can do no wrong.

I think that the R&D department at Leatherman needs to spend a few weeks studying Multitool.org and what folks here are saying they want- for example, more versions of knifeless tools for the ever increasing places where knives are unwelcome.

Sooner or later they will come to their senses and realize that they are missing something and they will work hard until they get it back.  Until then we'll have to deal with things like barely functional tool bracelets.   ::)

I think LM should have a look at what happened to BlackBerry...

I love my LM tools, I really do!  They really should listen, look and learn from what the members here are saying.  I know in the grand scheme of things we are a small group to them, but we are a very knowledgeable group, and we know what works, and what doesn't.

I respect Gerber for not putting out things like the Tread.  They seem to be sticking more to their roots, and improving on the great tools they already have.  I don't have the CD in hand yet, but everything I've read or viewed makes me believe that it'll be everything I wanted the MP600 to be, and right now the MP600 is one of my favourite MT's.

Well, they won't listen to us simply because every sentence here ends with ...and it should be cheaper.
That said, LM is evolving and with the Signal they made a bigger step than most realize. Personally, I'm looking forward to 3 gen Wave, based on the Signal.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

I got to see a CD in a package today, and it made me even more excited that I won it!  It looks like it's going to become my EDC MT.

I love my MP600, but the super short drivers, and the inside blades made me not carry it as much as I would have liked.  The extra reach on the CD, and the great looking main blade made me drool in the store! lol
