Diver One Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I have fein 110 and 240 clas Ohlson 240 and battery (2) my plumber mate has the makita 18v....very impressed with it clas Ohlson ( possibly deleted now ) only has a small battery BUT it is only used for cutting plastic, actually has enough charge to cut 6 floorboards on one charge with a decent blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 lidl are doing a nice looking one at the moment for £9.95. Don't know what its like but I have found most of their stuff to be very serviceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I really didn't want to like the leatherman. I thought it would be too heavy, too cumbersome on a belt, and that I wouldn't use the pieces on it. All of this was a lie. I love mine now! I have the wingman. The one thing I would say is get one with spring-loaded pliers. Not all of them have it, but it saves having to make a separate action to open them again whilst holding something fiddly in place!

team tractor Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just bought this for my best man as a gift for the wedding. I checked it over and it seems really well built . hes a farmer so I thought I’d get a useful gift . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacSxS Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 i have been using a Leatherman Fuse for the last 12 years and it has never let me down. I have gone through 2 leather pouches though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have the leatherman charge along with the extension bar and all the screwdriver attachments. Extremely useful and it will,even take standard 1/4" bits as well. The new variant has replaceable cutter blades BUT only one driver holder. Mine has 2 so I keep a flathead in one and a 1/2 Pozi in the other they do a nice looking SOG military version that I believe has some 'gun tools' on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longstrider Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I broke too many Leatherman multi-tools. Big mits and applied pressure resulted in bits of Leatherman ... Then I bought a Victorinox Swisstool and have never looked back. Superb piece of kit that has served without fault for many years all over the world. https://www.victorinox.com/uk/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/SwissTools/c/SAK_SwissTool?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiuGqrJuM4gIVyrftCh2cBQcZEAAYASAAEgIQdPD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibble Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) Broken a couple of cheap Gerbers, I now have a Leatherman Surge but it's a BIG lump to have on your belt. My Swiss Army Knives get more use. I have an original PST in my bike toolkit as well Edited May 8, 2019 by Dibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
