The Odd Leatherman Carrier Club.
on: January 30, 2019, 05:09:40 PM
OK, so lots of folks here carry your popular LMs like the Wave, Charge, Rebar, Surge and Supertool.  There are also a lot of us that still like carrying classics like the PST etc. and all with good reason I'd say.  But what about the rest I wonder?  Who here carries a Leap?  A Raptor?  Heak, maybe a Genus?   :o

Now, as the title suggests, this isn't about just owning some odd ones, this is about actually carrying and using them.  I guess my criteria would simply be; do you regularly see others posting about your choice of LM.

I'll kick this off with my choice for today; a Juice SC2.

This is an interesting thread Gareth :o :like: I hope we have some participation in this and I may just carry an oddball different one now and again just to post in here :D

but we need a more definitive list on what can qualify :think:

So as of now it can be

- Leap
- Genus, Hybrid or Vista
- Raptor
- Juice (any model? or just some of the more obscure ones? )
- The one piece type tools like the Piranha and specific similar types as the Pump and Rails?

Any more? :think: The ones with question marks are more left up to you Gareth as you started the thread and have in mind what types of tools need to be in here :cheers:

I wasn't going to try and make it too definitive or exclusive. :dunno: So taking the Juice as an example; just how many, of any variety,  do we see being carried regularly?  Not that many I think, so I'd say they qualify.  Others are free to disagree.  Hell, AFAIK not that many own up to carrying a Sidekick all that often, so even though it's current production I'd be happy to see them.  Not to ignore the old flashlights, the one piece tools etc.

Wasn't trying to be exclusive as much as inclusive :salute: many might think that what they carried might not qualify, so I was trying to get as many models listed as possibly into what might qualify :tu:

I use it occasionally daily, i just love wrench and bit driver. I have made also other head more sharper cause i use it as scraper or prying open something.
First i thinked that i wouldnt use it but its more useful than i thinked

Also, on top of the already listed tools, how about the Flair, Pulse, Crunch, Core, Rev, MUT, Signal, and FreeStyle?
Don't see much of those EDC'd. :)

OK, so here's another one from me, the Mini Skeletool. 8)  (aka Style PS)  Sadly just noticed the scissor spring has gone on this one, so I might sacrifice a Style and either replace the scissors or swap them out for a blade.

Once upon a time the Core was a MT that I saw people carrying on here a lot.  Not so any more though and it seems all but forgotten about.  :-\  Poncho, am I right in thinking none of the tools clump together?

It was a very carried tool on here when I first joined :salute: That is correct Gareth, none of the tools clump and I remember the argument on both sides when the ST300 came out and it did clump :o :D In ways it does seem like a step backwards but I have never found it to be a problem with my ST300 :think:

Wonder what the ST400 will have to offer when they bring it out one of these days :dd: :D

I know I always thought calling the clumping a "feature" was an excellent bit of marketing if nothing else. ;)

Very clever indeed :cheers: plus when putting them together they saved money on both washers and labor because it would have been easier to put together :o :D
