Your favorite leatherman?

Blast is a solid reliable inexpensive tool that works well and has a ton of good features on it.

would you say that it compares with the SURGE?

Leatherman123 · **Reply #32 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:27:16 AM

Not at all! The Blast is a great tool for the money; but you can easily over torque it using the drivers and such! The SURGE, well you know the rest!

i sure do! the SURGE is my favorite, i can push it as hard as I want and it won't break!

I feel like the Blast is a great EDC/medium duty tool, while the CORE/SURGE are more designed to be work/professional tools. I love my Blast tho, certainly an underrated multi.

i also like the blade exchanger...i bought a t-shank for it from bosch...its over 5 inches long.

i haven't seen a multitool that can get a saw THAT big

Wenger Swissgrip should come pretty close in terms of saw size!

how long is the saw AND knife on it?

Leatherman123 · **Reply #38 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:36:28 AM

HUGE!

Rambo would be pleased

Roadie · **Reply #40 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:37:47 AM

Not got one but it's based on the 120mm frame so around that long!

rockyman500 · **Reply #41 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:38:07 AM

ok thanks

rockyman500 · **Reply #42 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:39:40 AM

its probably around the size of the wenger

cliosguy · **Reply #43 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:52:07 AM

Man, all this talk about the Blast is making me want to get mine fixed. The lock broke on it a while back and I gave up on it in disgust. However, I have been thinking about getting it fixed since I DO like the long drivers on it better then the stubby interchangeable drivers on the Wave, and I like the fact that it doesn't pinch your skin like the Wave does. It's also lighter, which is cool with me. I always liked the Blast, which although it isn't perfect, did what I needed it to.... until the friggin lock broke.
Maybe I'll get it fixed.
Maybe.

I'm surprised (and glad) that the Blast is doing well here. It never seems to get a mention otherwise. People always seem to talk about Skeletools, waves, SURGE, Juice, Mica....Or am I just being slow?

Nope, you're not being slow, it really doesn't get mentioned that much. In fact, the only time it seems to crop up is on "underrated" threads!

It's a really great tool, does pretty much exactly what the Wave does, but I think maybe it isn't very glamorous or something having no OH blades or clever bits.

I was trying to trade one on here a while back and noone wanted it, for months, quite bizarre. Then Dunc went Leatherman mad and it's his now

And the Fuse? Well that gets less coverage than the Blast !

Hey LatinoHeat? Get it fixed man, it's no good to you broke

gafftapegreenia · **Reply #46 on:** January 21, 2009, 02:12:58 AM

Surprisingly the Kick gets a bit of love.

I have the knifeless Fuse, wish Leatherman would make a knifeless Juice.

'Cos it's cheap!

I love the Fuse, and have 4 different variations of it now, it's a great little tool.

I own every basic model made and liek the charge best.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #49 on:** January 21, 2009, 03:07:31 AM

Which variation?

NeitherExtreme · **Reply #50 on:** January 21, 2009, 05:15:08 AM

KF4 for me. I'm pretty predictable by now.

Lion · **Reply #51 on:** January 21, 2009, 05:35:33 AM

My current favorite is the Charge TI. The KF4 is a close second. The Freestyle may upset that when it comes out though.

What? No love for the Crunch here?

Poncho65 · **Reply #53 on:** January 21, 2009, 11:12:27 PM

I love the Crunch and the Blast for that matter they are both great tools and until I went to a full sized MT for work I carried the Blast all the time

I most certainly would be carrying otherwise though

I thought I use to talk about it quite a bit myself but that was mostly back in the summer

I love the Crunch it's just not full featured enough to carry by itself but that's just my opinion

Otherwise I would carry it alot more

In fact I may just try to carry it for a while with a small SAK or a Squirt for a little while

and see what happens
