I'll just throw this out: I mis-used the pliers on my Leatherman Charge TTi, and broke the tip. Despite it being almost 10 years old, I sent it to leatherman, they replaced the pliers with *the new replaceable cutters style*, replaced the file, sharpened the knife and sharpened / polished the serrated blade, and replaced both the standard and miniature screw bits. For $8 shipping. This all on top of it being an incredible tool, I am a customer for life.

I had a very similar thin happen to mine. It was a US Army special edition. When asked whether I wanted repair or replacement, I choose repair because of what it meant to me. It came back like new...they even replaced the Army scales...what meant the most was in a envelope was my old scales and a handwritten note thanking me for my service...like you...I'm a customer for life.

And THIS is why I like this guy so much! "We're gonna test that!" 👍

Over 20 years ago I stretched the budget to buy a leatherman charge ti, the titanium cased predecessor to the current line. I was working on a schooner in the Caribbean and dropped it overboard, but being in crystal clear water could see it clearly on the bottom. I free dove and got it back but it was deeper than it looked and nearly burst my eardrums. In the ensuing 20 years, leatherman has twice replaced that tool with no hassles. Once a lock failed and another time the jaws broke when I twisted while cutting. The ergonomics on mine aren't great, and it can pinch pretty bad in cutting use due to the way the handles come together. But overall it has been worth the initial cost and earache!

You should consider adding a Rockwell hardness tester to your testing regimen. It would be really interesting to see the hardness values of the blades. If a blade uses hard steel and is not sharp, it could be that the factory did a poor job sharpening the blade, but that can easily be fixed on a stone, and you would be left with a great cutting tool.

As long as you don't lose it... or someone steals it. I had 2 of the original PSTs, and BOTH were stolen. That is, for me, the biggest drawback of Leathermans; They are so good that people are tempted to steal them. I've had several of the other models tested here and the thing that seems to divide the expensive ones from the cheap ones is that the cheap ones can be very, very variable in quality. I've had both the Ozark and Stanley and the blade on the Ozark was possibly the worst blade I've ever had. The Stanley certainly didn't stand up to the name. I know people who've had both SOG and Gerber and they're nicely made, but I can't think of anything that would persuade me to get anything that wasn't a Leatherman if money was no object. Unfortunately, money has been a deciding factor for me, so I'm currently soldiering on with my Ozark, POS that it is.

Really liked the video! Very relevant, and I appreciated how you found specific ways to measure quantitative aspects. If you ever do a followup, I'd love to see a destructive test that evaluated how much crush pressure the jaws could generate before failure. The final failure (before a hassle-free replacement under warranty) after 8+ years on on my Leatherman Wave was when squeezing wire crimp connections to make sure they had a solid connection. Another really interesting thing to look at might be how they hold up when gripping something and then twisting sideways. Basically, I'd love to see how rugged the jaws are in combination with the rest of the unit. The failure point when crimping with my Wave was actually in a portion of the handle at the connection to the jaw. I would be interested to know if something like the Charge or Charge Titanium with their extra aluminum (or Titanium) side pieces improve the durability of the tool for basic gripping with the pliers jaws. Overall, the layout and capability of the Wave (about the same as the Charge) is excellent; the best I've yet encountered. I do wish the scissors were built a little better too (a little heavier duty, and with steel that holds an edge better).

I've had a Surge (old model with t-bit diamond file/saw blade) for between 15-20 years now. I broke the awl, the small driver bit (glasses-sized), and eventually the straight knife before I decided I needed a new one. Since I didn't like the bits on the new one, I tested the warranty. I just covered shipping - they replaced everything I asked for plus the pliers/wire cutters that I'd worn down. That's how you earn a customer for life; they didn't even ask for proof of purchase to see that I was in the 25-year period (which is good because it was a gift from my dad). Leatherman is far and away #1 in the multi-tool game in my book. Mine's gotten me out of more than a few jams.

There are two theories for knife steel, particularly for a survival/multi-tool type blade. Some people really focus on the overall hardness and edge retention of the steel, however most of those steels are extremely difficult to sharpen properly, especially for novices or anyone inexperienced with sharpening - so while they’ll hold their initial edge pretty well, once it dumps many people have a problem getting it to the original sharpness, or improving the edge. The other camp is to use steel that can relatively take a really nice edge, but is a bit softer and much easier to sharpen, so while it’ll go dull a bit faster than the harder steels, they are extremely easy to resharpen, and you can use almost anything to achieve a very respectable edge relatively easily, without too much experience. Both use cases are valid. Just depends on which camp you fall in - will decide your preference for either style of knife steel. Traditionally Victorinox falls into the easier to dull, easier to sharpen camp, while a lot of the newer Leatherman’s that use steels like 154, etc., fall in the hard steel, harder to sharpen camp. Both are extemely quality multi-tools.

@chadh3441

So spot in with this comment. The hard steel usually makes one have to resort to diamond or tungsten sharpeners to make any progress, that is unless you really want to spend a long time sharpening one with a regular whetstone. There's nothing at all choosing the long slow route, for me personally, I find it very therapeutic and relaxing. A lot of the regular over the counter knives,and such, are made from 440 steel. This has been used since the early to mid 1990"s that I'm aware of because it's more of a universal type of steel. It holds an edge pretty good and is not that difficult to sharpen. If a steel is heat treated,(tempered), too much and has a Rockwell hardness over a certain amount, it can become an issue. Although it is strong, this can pose a problem by causing blades to actually snap in two because of it being so hard. The desired goal when making a knife or tool, is to have the best of both worlds. Ease of sharpness(repair), edge retention so it doesn't dull very easy, and enough strength that when force is applied to it that it will have a small amount of flexibility while remaining tough and durable. As with anything else in life, depending upon ones attributes that they want an instrument to contain, sacrifices have to be made one way or another. If you want a knife that holds an edge very well then the blade is probably going to be made from a harder type of steel, which means a more difficult blade to sharpen and is less flexible. The only blade that I know of that has the perfect all around combination, was a sword that is attributes to the Vikings. It was called, an Ulfberht, if I spelled it correctly. Historians and metallurgist alike consider this to be the best of the best and most top of the line blades found anywhere in the world because of the almost perfect molecular structure, and the expert processes that were used to make and forge a steel that has almost zero slag(impurities). This is something that is a challenge still to this day with all of the available texhnology that we have. There is a PBS episode where a blacksmith was contracted by the Viking Museum in Sweden,(I believe), to attempt to make an Ulfberht, and I cannot recommend it enough to see all of the things I've mentioned above. Believe it or not, it is still fascinating to those who are not blade nerds like myself. Lol. To see the end result and witness just how much skill and time it takes to create such an extraordinary piece of history and work of art. It was the first known sword of this name to be made in over 600 years and it makes you wonder. Just how in the world were they able to do this so long ago if they were so, "primitive", as we are often led to believe. Who knows, maybe they weren't so dam primitive after all.

That's one I'd like to see. Years ago, we made the outlay for American Standard Gutter Helmets that came with a warranty. After a couple of years of Douglas-fir needles, they were completely clogged. So we attempted to use the "lifetime" warranty. AS told us that the warranty was the responsibility of the dealer--but our dealer went out of business. So much for warranties. A later vendor (name escapes memory now) started advertising and I wrote them asking how they did with Doug-fir needles. Never did get a response. I think the current round is just another chapter in the "never clean your gutters" scam game.

I bought my dad a Gerber multi tool (I think it's the Suspension) as a Christmas gift in 2005. He did maintenance at a large government building. He carried the tool every day on his belt and used the heck out of it. He dropped it in a bucket of white roof paint once and cleaned it the best he could, but it was ugly ever since. Still worked fine though. He died in 2016. I started using the tool myself, but only rarely. One day I was using the pliers and one of the jaws snapped clean off at the hinge. I was sad. I was going to toss it, but I figured I'd give the warranty a try. I wrote in to Gerber saying it was my dad's from 2005 and that I wasn't expecting them to do anything for me. I told them if they could repair it, I'd be very happy. I told them if the model was discontinued (couldn't read it under the paint so I didn't know) and parts were not available, they could just throw it away for me and save the cost of shipping it back. I wouldn't need it back. I wasn't expecting much. I had no receipt from 2005 and it was a very old tool. A couple weeks later I got a box from Gerber in the mail. A brand new Suspension was inside, with a packing slip. "Received broken tool and note. Warranty replacement authorized. 1x Suspension provided, inc. return shipping. Cost: $0.00 Ticket closed." I was shocked and so happy. Brand new in the box with a new holster. They looked at my fugly broken tool from over a decade ago with no proof of purchase, and replaced it with a brand new one including the cost to get it to my door. I will always buy Gerber multi tools and knives because of this experience. Contrast this with the 8 months it took Taurus Firearms to replace my revolver, and they refused to pay for the FFL transfer so I had to pay $10 to get the new revolver from them. 😠 Gerber takes excellent care of even decade-old customers. I highly respect that.
