Uh oh, now you need the new TTi without the cap crimper:)

Thanks for great video. Little silly story: I have three leathermans (charge tti, free p4 and rebar) and I really liked them and didn't want scratch them up or damage them so I kept them at home. One day my buddy asked me to help him change his car battery. We got the battery, drove to his house, open the hood of his car and realized we don't have a single tool to do it with.... Now I keep rebar at home, charge tti in my car and carry free p4 at work. And I truly enjoy using my tools! Because I realized that these are tools, they are not meant to sit on shelf collecting dust. Leatherman gives you 25 year warranty too. In your case, however these are some really rare and expensive collectibles. So it's different story

I bought the original Leatherman many years ago at a store called Tool Crib of the North in Grand Forks North Dakota. I bought the tool cuz I never seen anything else like it. I shopped Cabelas frequently but don't recall seeing any Leatherman products until much later when I already owned mine. Perhaps there were smaller dealers who peaked the tool interest to Cabela's. Thanks for the interesting info that helps those of us with a limited budget to explore what is available.

DROOOL...!! Lovely collection there, Ben! I have 'only' my orange G10 that was a must have to replace a trusty Gerber that passed on intact to my grandson! Not a wealthy man, I've just got room for the one, so it's an EDC treasure in my man bag. Thanks for the show & tell, especially love the rare pieces! Regards, RRC

You're missing the Costco edition, bro. Nice collection 👌 UPDATE: I've also seen a third winter cammo cabelas exclusive, the 30th anniversary with gold color accents, the year of the monkey edition, etc. Very expensive hobby. I need to stop 😆 🤣 😂

I too prefer the 154... I could sharpen it with a few passes on the ceramic and I agree on the crimper too...I've had the blacked out plus for 4 yrs and it's been serving me well

Great collection! Really wish they just implemented the scale tools in a production Charge instead of wasting the idea in the Darkside. I can't imagine anyone NOT wanting the scale tools in a production model Charge (call it the Charge 2 or Charge ++ or whatever Leatherman wants), so I don't know why they had to use a limited Garage release to test out the scale tools AGAIN.

You have 10 multitools to take out that piece 😂

Thanks for sharing. Since your first review of the orange g10 version, it was on top of my wishlist, but I ended up buying the titanium version because it had a temporary price drop, nearly down to 110 dollars range in the local online market and g10 was still in the 200 dollars range. Now Wave plus is more expensive than the price I got charge plus TTI when I got it. Charge plus TTI had a sharp edge on the plier jaws and I got a small cut by the edge while opening it like a butterfly knife. It’ got my blood and I feel a strong bond with it now.

Definitely like the idea of the added pen and pin… hope we see those in future pieces. Still an awesome collection, and I appreciate you sharing it with us all!

Great collection ! Thank you for sharing your experience! Respect !

Lovely collection. The hipster in me is in love with the wood version of it! 😍

The NASA one is probably the only special edition tool not in my collection, aside from the Gold PST. Having a hard time convincing myself to spend what it’d take to get each of them on my shelf

Waow crazy !!! I just bought my first Charge leatherman !! And i m so fan!!!

I have a Ti Titanium from 2005. I use it every day. Only the small eyeglass screwdrivers have had to be replaced. And the case a few times

Awesome collection man!

This collection is very nice. It looks as an investment to sell after years. None of these tools were ever used :)

Nice collection. Bought Charge to work, nontheless got multiple sclerosis, so I am not able to work and the knife neither. Had Juice cs4 for couple years before. Like those.

I agree leatherman should make these tools available

You've got more Leatherman Charges than I've got watches in my watch collection ! LoL The wood and brass model would make a beautiful gift for Grandad 👍 I really hate that they used tamper proof heads on so many models 😠

The newer 2022 TTi Charge did away with the plier crimper.

So far the best collection I know I will never have. I want to have a charge as well. Wave charge and surge. I believe the charge is like Lexus for Toyota.

Wish the nasa version was standard... it really irks me that they can easily do it but don't! It's why i keep going back to Victorinox... the plus scales and tools can be purchased for less than $15... and its an upgrade i can do my self! This concept has a proven track record in the market place it seems like an obvious business move! Can't understand why they don't pursue it! Great video of your collection, thanks for sharing!

leathermans leadership doesn't make much sense like when they discontinued the juice lineup and ever since then never made a tool to fill that role mostly now it feels like leatherman has gone to far into gimmicky features and sprint runs cause not gonna lie the free series tools is the single most gimmicky disappointing set i've seen. Plus being realistic when you compare fit and finish victorinox is on another level especially with their swiss tool series leathermans new ideas look like an intern who forgot that in order for a tool to be useful it needs a useful tool set...not 4 flat head drivers and no bit exchanger and sub par blade steel.

You can add Charge Tti (Year-of-Monkey edition) to your collection.

I sent my gen 1 in for warrantee due to a broken flat driver and the new titanium one they sent back is significantly thicker than the gen one I sent and seems to weigh more. It also seems to weigh more than a wave +. I didn’t realize they changed this. I’m quite disappointed.

Hi Ben. Not sure if it’s the model you are missing, but there is a Damascus one for sale on Lamnia website in finland. Pretty expensive though at over £600, not sure what that would be in US dollars. Cheers

Neat!!!

The camo ones are technically special editions also because they are hard to get and go for a premium price nowadays

Thank you Ben for another great video. 👍🏻 Question: I don’t hunt or fish but could you use a gut hook to open a clam-shell package? Cheers.

Absolutely, I used it for that purpose many times.

And I thought I was cool with one Ti version... Like DANG! I really like the camo models, never seen one before...

I still don't get why after all these years, Leatherman still has to use their proprietary screws on some of the Charge's pivots, which easily gets damaged and can't be removed for basic servicing... really love that wood model though!

Where can I find limited edition leatherman’s? I have seen the Orange Charge + on the Leatherman website, but that’s it.

Did they delay the release of the NASA version?

I just got a Charge TTi yesterday and there’s no crimper on the front of the pliers. I did a search and found they stopped doing that last year.

Thats a nice collection you got there. Do you have any opinions on the charge alx?

I owned one a very long time ago, I ended up gifting it to my cousin. I ultimately found the double driver to be redundant and I didn't care for the crimper in the pliers. That crimper seemed to get in my way more often than not.

You’re also missing the sterling silver 30th anniversary edition of the Charge TTI. And I think there’s a Year of the Monkey limited edition. Not sure if there are others you need to make the collection complete.

Nice collection. I m a big fan Spyderco knife like Shaman or Manix. I was affraid that the blade length will be too small in multitool. A few month ago i bought Charge + black aluminum sklills, and the blade length is acceptable. I am using this multitool every day, its really heavy duty tool and pocket friendly. Leatherman did great job. I wish you collect rest version of Charge +👍
