Yep price is always my biggest deterrent If money wasn't an object I would have a very large collection
It may not be very large, but it is quite enviable Like you, price is my biggest deterrent. Otherwise, I would have a PT-540 and a Cable Dawg in my electrician's MT collection. I have just bought a Radioshack E4 because I finally found one that was priced at about 1/3rd the typically amount and appears to only need some cleaning.

Unless what they come out with is revolutionary or something out of the norm, not just upgraded materials and extra colors on existing models then I will probably pass because they won't be cheap
It may have to do with how people went crazy over the NASA Charge I won't ever be able to afford any of them probably but I did get an email and signed up for updates
aVE on YouTube got one and used it when he was putting chains on his tractor rashed up the pliers and bent the file,
Some Youtubers make a lot of money...and from what I have seen...buying expensive stuff just to wreck it is a thing...one that draws a lot of viewers..making even mote money.
I had to look that guy up and watch the video. That was a little painful to watch. As an aside, every time I see a broken Leatherman on Reddit, I almost always suspect it was caused by similar abuse.
if you are going to send it in for warranty might as well make it worth while, no?
One that springs to mind is JerryRigEverything, an engineer and reviewer who seems to actually provide useful and structured feedback as to the durability of the product, mainly phones and tablets in his case. He also details some repairs, as well as other videos where he just builds really cool stuff.
I don't think so. Abusing a warranty is almost like stealing.
I agree. Intentional abuse and then claiming a warranty is definitely wrong. But this younger generation have very few scruples and seem to think they are entitled to it. Is what is probably killing a lot of warranties, and higher costs of tools. Then there are some people that really should not own a multitool... Wait till their generation takes over, Chaos will ensue! What was that one movie called again? Idiocracy.
Well just like those heritage pst they brought out for however much. They showed they could move those, so there is some money out there.Speaking of the Tom Sachs charge, aVE on YouTube got one and used it when he was putting chains on his tractor rashed up the pliers and bent the file, and the scribe was broken when he first opened it. He thought the bead on the lanyard was plastic and scratched it on something metal and was amazed it was ceramic. And I'm sitting there saying omg what is he going to break next That one won't end up on a shelf
Anyone else just read this as: it's going to be expensive?
Yes, that is what I got out of it Just passing the news along though
I don't think you understand what we do to messengers 'round these parts
Why don't we assume that someone's age/generation has nothing to do with this or the needlessly high price of the tools in question?
.. so maybe this could be an example of a prototype experiment that the masses may had wanted, and Leatherman could of sold the design off in limited numbers? Only drawback I can see on this is a warranty issue...
