Leatherman

[CowboyRam]

I keep breaking the belt clip off my Leatherman every couple years or so. Anyone else have this issue with the Leatherman.

Never had one long enough to break anything. Too many kids and grandkids. Same with fishing tackle and ammunition.

I don't wear one but I've seen leather cases for them.

No issues here.

Broke a blade one one of them. Sent it to them and they sent me a new one free of charge. Went through several leather sheaths. When we moved it got lost somewhere along the way. I think about replacing it but haven't to this point.

The worst and best thing I ever had was an older (mid 70s?) Case 450 backhoe/loader. It was a workhorse and could move round bales where tractors couldn't. I also used it muchly cleaning up my father's estate when he died, loading around 30 8x8xx20' rollon/rolloff trash containers. Loaded LOTS (over 35) of old cars and farm equipment on a trailer to carry to the junkyard. It had a set of really heavy built forks on it but the way the forks were attached, with pins at the top of the bucket and forks if you had it very high and tilted it back too far, the forks would swivel back and dump your load onto the rear of the hood and the solid top rops. If, you didn't have it very high, and were traveling with the forks empty, the forks would flip back and puncture both front tires if you tilted it all the way back. I came close a couple of times of dropping a round bale on top of me and the rops but not quite. I did learn early on tho about what 2 new front tires cost, and learned to chain the bottom of the forks to bottom of the bucket if I was gonna use it very much.

I have one but never been fond of it . Think it’s in my duck hunting blind bag . If you ever use the pliers it will pinch a blood blister on your palm .

Is it an actual Leatherman wave? I really liked mine and used it a lot. So much better than any of the other multi tool I have ever picked up.

I had a leatherman wave for several years and liked it. I now have the leatherman Arc and like it even more. Seems like every time I forget it I wish I had it.

I have sent in my Leatherman sidekick several times to have the belt clip replaced. I did break the tip of the knife once while doing something with the knife I should not of been doing. I guess I'm going to have to send it in again. The scabbard I have now holds a small flashlight, my Leatherman and a box knife. I use the box knife to cut bale twine most of the time, but there are times I like having a set of plyers on me, and feel naked without it. After caring a flashlight I was kind of surprised on how often I used it; it's a lot more handy than the flashlight on my phone.
