Wingman says Sidekick??
on: January 19, 2022, 02:25:37 PM
Has anyone seen or heard of a Leatheman tool with the wrong model name on the tool? I was gifted a Wingman but it says “Sidekick” on the logo. As you can see in the pic, it has the tools of the Wingman but says Sidekick. Not sure if this was a refreb or what. Any thoughts? Thanks all!

Welcome to :MTO: Chuck :cheers:

It could definitely be a factory error :think: The handles are nearly identical except for the name stamped into them :salute:

It could also be a mod that someone put together :think: does it have the Wingman combo edge blade or a plain edge blade of the Wingman as well? :think:

Thanks for the Welcome! Glad to be here. Yes the blade is the combo edge. The barcode on the packaging was also labeled "Wingman" I am thanking of contacting Leatherman direct. I am not sure what the best way to go about doing that to get a response.

Hello and welcome, like Poncho said most likely a factory error.    :tu:

Either go through Facebook Messenger or go to their website and at the bottom of the page you can go to "Contact us" that will give you a form to fill out :salute:

They likely won't be much help with the question, other than saying, you can send it in for Warranty and they will replace it :cheers:

If everything works correctly on it, like locks and detention on non locking tools - just keep it. I think it’s cool that way  :multi:
