Got one on closeout at Fleet Farm for $79.00 and love it. People you've got to remember. These multi-tools weren't designed to build a house or overhaul an engine. They were designed to save you a trip to the tool box/shed or get you out of a rare jam in a remote location. I just don't require so much out of it that I need to overhaul the tool itself.

I agree on making the tool yours. I got myself and ARC and it does everything I need for work. And having the bit kit is great since I use many different ones there. The things I never will use is the can opener, saw, and awl. I want something of better function for me in place of those. The scissors are kinda useless for heavy work. But I find them great for a couple tasks like when I crimp an ethernet cable. The scissors are amazing for trimming the insulation sheath as well as the wire to length since the wire is so small. I use the knife to strip and scissors to clean up. Every other tool I have either used already or can think of uses. To me it is the best tool for my use as is. My saying would be cut, grind, destroy until it is perfect!

Something I did to my P2.... reduced the locking levers. I ground them down quite a bit so they don’t dig into my hand. Makes the tool much more comfortable to use and didn’t effect my ability too put the tools away at all.

Hello. Good video, thanks for all your work. In my opinion i'd turn the can opener into a small flat screwdriver (by grinding the round part), and would modified the flat-awl into a true awl with a real sharp point.

I have owned and carried the Leatherman P2 for over a year now and generally like it for my daily, around the house tasks. In fact, my biggest complaint is the combination blade. I was looking for the plain edge blade from the P4 on eBay and was somewhat dismayed at the premium those are bringing. Apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't like the combo blade! Anyways, I saw the blade from a Leatherman T2 on there for a much more palatable price and wondered about compatibility? The specs on leatherman's website indicate that the T2 blade is about a half inch shorter than the P4 blade. That might be a sacrifice I'm willing to make as long as it drops in without any sort of profile modifications needed. Anyone know if that would work?
