Just went through here and it seems I never officially joined this club. Had my P4 out for a cleaning and lube when the mail arrived.

Don’t remember it being as heavy as it feels now. Curious to weigh it vs some of my other tools later. Still a huge fan of the pocket clip though. Makes me want a Bond and wish the Rebar had the same clip.

Welcome to the club, Harley :woohoo:

Great pics :tu: :like:

Is this open to T2/T4 owners or should there be another thread for those?

All of this talk about the Arc, along with Blade HQ saying the P4 is discontinued, has renewed my interest in the P4.  I have never been a huge fan of the Free series, because the magnets - while innovative for sure - just don't make deployment that great (for me) here in the real world.  It has always seemed unnatural, but it does work.  Still, props to Leatherman for coming up with the idea.

That being said, I am carrying a P4 as of late, and have two more unopened P4's in the Special Reserve Collection just in case they disappear forever.  I get a sick feeling when an MT is discontinued (goodbye, dear friend), and the only medicine is to have one or several backups in the Special Reserve Collection.  I emailed Leatherman twice this week asking if the P4 was discontinued, and they haven't responded though sometimes it takes a few days.  My experience with Leatherman CS is that they don't know any more than we do about the state of things.  One CS lassie told me recently that CS is only told about things a couple of days before it happens.  As I noted in another thread, I would not be surprised if the P4 were disappeared, since the Arc is basically a P4 with eyeliner and perfume to put us in a love trance - along with an $80 upcharge.


If nuclear war decimates the planet, the DNA from these P4's now held in cryosleep can be used to re-establish the MT Kingdom.  This is my gift to humanity.

Leatherman CS says:

Thank you for contacting Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. The Free P4 has not officially been discontinued. However, we sadly do not have an expected date as to when this item will be in stock again. Please sign up for an email notification on the item's product page on our website so you don’t miss an opportunity to purchase one when they return.

Having previously been told by Leatherman CS that they don't know if an item has been discontinued until a couple of days before the announcement, I translate the reply as meaning that either the PS4 has been discontinued, or it has not.

 :dunno:

But its better to have a few extras on hand - just in case.

For the longest time I had been very bitter about the P2. I fell for the hype, and asked for one as a gift. But the novelty wore off quick since the 3 useless tools (File, Flathead Ruler, Can Opener) kind of make you realize that you're not  getting the full benefits of the set. (and I'm too cheap to buy one of the zapwizard adapters)

However, returning to it and adding a bit of oil to the blade pivot, has made it more attractive to me. If you utilize it as a minimalist tool with an emergency set of pliers, it feels a bit better since I'm trying to cut down on on my carry.

I still think it's really insulting for Leatherman to finally release the ARC and include the bit drivers, long file, and smoother opening blade and make Free owners feel a bit robbed.

My FREE P4 is the best EDC multitool.
I was skeptical about it without holding or using it.
The ability to open all the tools without breaking my nails (Hello Swisstool!), is a huge improvement (for me).
It looks nice, the quality is great, and a big plus is that it can be easily modified for left-handed use.
