The best for everyday use.

Rating:****
First let me say that I own many Leatherman multi-tools. Most of them are older models that have been retired but they are still great tools. I keep them in various appropriate places, one is always kept in my camera bag, one is always kept in my motorcycle saddle-bag, etc. but this one has been on my belt for many years now. It's the first tool I go to. I don't think you could ask for a better every-day multi-tool from Leatherman. True, it is not as heavy-duty as my Surge or some of the older models but that's not what I need it for. If I need something heavy-duty I will get my Surge, which is never far away, but for all of my day-to-day needs this Leatherman has been the perfect companion for many years. The variety of tools available is perfect, from the scissors and the corkscrew to the saw which could cut through bone to the screwdriver bits. It has everything you need for every day use. I have not had a problem pulling any of the tools out and breaking thumbnails as some of the other reviews have mentioned but I make sure it is lubricated at the pivot points. If I lost it I would cry for a week then buy two more so that if I lost another one I would have a spare.

Tool chest in your pocket

Rating:*****
This is the best mutli-tool due to its size, tools included and durability. I have had three of these tools all lost (TSA got one and left other on a job). I use them for everything; I have used them as a carpenter and data/communications installer, mountain biking, camping, auto repair, etc… If the tool were any bigger I wouldn't carry it with me all of the time and any smaller and it would lose functionality.

I have no idea how anyone would break this in normal usage. I have used them for many, many years and am very happy with their durability. The only thing I would improve is the opening of the flat head screwdrivers which have stabbed me in the back of the thumb and broken fingernails many times.

"Excellent"

Rating:*****
Bought for Geoff, (14 years) he tells me that it is absolutely awesome, has tons of cool tools on it. (you got to check out this awesome saw mom!) Incredibly put together with a tool for every emergency, real or imagined. We are confident with the Juice we can Macgiver our way out of any disaster. Not to mention that it purple - how cool is that.

Versital and tough.

Rating:****
Looking past the slick feel, the size fits well in my hands and is easy to use. I cannot get over how sharp the blades are. The serated blade makes short work of any cordage. (keep your fingers clear!) Very durable. I have not had a use for them yet, but the straight blade screw drivers are difficult to access.(pull out) My final words: Great Tool.

"everyone should own one"

Rating:*****
everyone should have one of these! :-) I love it, and there is NOTHING this little guy can't do. I can't even count how many times it has come in handy. The multiple blades, corkscrew, and pliers are all awesome. Love this. It's great for in a car glovebox, or a purse. One of the hardest working tools you can buy.

"Great Tool!"

Rating:*****
I used this on two trips this summer. Considering I was the only person who thought to bring a knife it got alot of use. Easy to clean and the saw, serrated knife, and regular blade made it easy to do anything. Cut maybe 10 summer sausage sticks and lanced several blisters with this thing. Its awesome.

"HANDY TOOL"

Rating:*****
SMALL, COMPACT AND EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED IN A TOOL FOR THE TRAIL. JUST DON'T GET THE PURPLE ONE. I BOUGHT IT AND A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO MY FRIENDS SAW ME WITH IT. THEY BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF ME AND GAVE ME A WEDGIE. SCREW THEM PURPLE IS COOL!

"Best looking and most useful tool I've ever had!"

Rating:*****
This tool is so awesome! It has everything on it that I could possibly ever need while I'm outside and then some. I especially appreciate the corkscrew -. It's a little on the heavy side, but I think it's work it. And the color is great!

Love it, just what I was looking for.

Rating:*****
i love it. I find something to use it for all the time. I work at a camp in the summer, and it's a very outdoorsy camp, a lot of camping and survival, and fishing too. It's great for everything.

"OOh, shiny object!"

Rating:*****
This is my first "real" tool. I decided to actually get a nice one because the cheap ones always break. I am impressed with the durability and beautiful puple color. You can't go wrong with a leatherman!

Negative Reviews:

Give me back my old Leatherman

Rating:*
Although this product is loaded with features, it has broken twice under casual use. I bought it for the features and the Leatherman name, as I own an old-style Leatherman tool. However, this just doesn't have the quality of the old Leatherman products. The blades look cheap, dull easily, and as I said, the pressure-spring in the back of the tool has snapped twice. I sent it back the first time and Leatherman replaced it, free of charge, but after breaking again, it's sitting on the table. Too much hassle to package it up and send it back again. [...]
