I've carried a Wave for may years on the job that has saved me thousands of steps not having to walk hundreds of feet to a tool box to get the "right" tool for a quick repair. Now that I've retired and off duty most of the time I now carry a Leatherman Skeletool CX that clips inconspicuously in my pocket and takes care of most things that I need it for.

I'm unable to get the batteries out. HELP.

I took my charge plus apart and cleaned it inside out with Flitz then applied some Super lube, it turned out pretty good. The opening and closing is smooth with some fine tuning. Wish I had watched this video but I learned something new so not bad ❤

Belt is overpriced for what you get. I won’t buy again.

Only problem with leathermen is that they don't have a 1/4" bit holder great quality tools but their bits are junk and require workarounds

Only downside is it's too nice to have at work if it got stolen I'd be upset

I'd like to get people's opinion on this I'm thinking about using two box fans taped together really well and using a good HEPA filter

Hand sanitizer. I don’t remember seeing that. Wet wipes.

so, a $100-$200 tool and it doesn't even come cleaned or lubed??? 🤣🤡

Thanks for this, printing one now. Like you, I must have tossed mine

THEY MADE TITANIUM AND I GOT IT BABY

Thinking something similar but with my Esse 3. Good job 👍🏻

New category...edcs everyday carry sometimes..n

You used a fog machine ! You do realize that actual SMOKE has micro particulates in it that fog obviously doesn’t. So this really doesn’t help prove anything.

Just spray wd40 ang use it

Dang…. Super clear and presented! Already knew I was going to use it but wanted to see someone using it in action first. Thanks man!

Please try it on Leatherman arc and Leatherman garage

Literally looks like that little light thing from Austin Powers

Can you hook an External 1TB HDD and play movie files through it?

What you lose in the fire, you will find in the ashes....

I use a vintage wooden cigar box

The MSK chain can be doubled up and tied to your belt loop and the knife in your pocket with the sheath on!

Thanks for this

Is it 10x better? No.

How did the second one hold up ?

Very cool

Teeth are far to big for that wood, lucky you still have fingers🤦‍♂️

A bit apples to oranges compaarison. The Honeywell has a hepa filter, which is merv17+. I doubt the one on the box fan is higher than merv 11 or 12. The honeywell also circulates better throwing air upward and probably runs more efficiently with a radial fan. Still, in a pinch, a boxfan + filter is always better than nothing. I got a cheaper proairtech 9000 which includes carbon and prefilter (doesn't clog the hepa filter as quickly and can be cleaned) as well as hepa and ionizer, has sensors and can ramp up/down fan speed according to pollution. I also diy-ed a heavy duty air filter with 200W wall fan and prefilter+carbon+hepa for pulling clean air from outside in case of (wild) fires, pollen, diesel gases from heavy agri machinery etc. Better to have clean air in the first place rather than to try to clean it when the pollution is already inside.

Watched your video today and made this. Thanks!!

I tried with a regular straw. Epoxy stuck to the straw. Off to 7-11 to get a sluppee straw.

Hrm, not sure what the fogger shows other than air flow. Dust retention in the filter, airborne residue removal, and particulate control would be more useful information for our shops I'd presume. Especially with sawdust from sanding, or paint particulates that don't immediately get vented out by the exhaust fan.

I bet it was the drop that made the blades hard to deploy. You didn't open all the tools after the drop. Why did you think hard wire cutters could cut bolts ? Using the clamp was just stupid. The tool isn't designed to be used that way. What a waste of 31 minutes.

300 dollars and the 30 dollar box fan did better 😂. I have both by the way just because my wife doesn’t like the look of the box fan on the ground floor

Just purchased this knife today

i would have preffered to see how the filters handle smoke. fog is a good replacement, but smoke it far better to test.

the honeywell does not seem to perform better than the box fan filter you built. this is what i saw.

Thank you! you helped me a lot definetly deserved like! Keep up!

How much are the filters in the Honeywell you have to take that into consideration.

Never buy Leatherman Wave plus, they are not the same leatherman you used to know. I have changed these twice, but still the change even have a problem. It is not neat. saw stucks refuse to get in without adjustment with my thumb force, plier don't closes if I don't close them with my finger sperately before I close the plier, Man! My brandnew leatherman plier is full of scratches already before I use them by scratching itself when it slides into the hold! This is disaster! they increased the price decreased the quality, What the hell??!

Save money, buy a gallon of food grade Mineral Oil, muti-tools, knives, firearms, even cutting boards and wooden scales and stocks, it may be all you ever need for decades. I learned this from a gun smith long ago and it works great. Saves you a lot of money and most of those other products use mineral oil as there primary ingredient. The only disadvantage, some applications need grease, but not in the multi-tool world. BTW, Mineral Oil grease is called petroleum jelly and it works great wear grease is needed. Say bye bye to all the many many snake-oil companies ripping you off by just selling you mineral oil plus coloring agents or negligibly "beneficial" additives. Sorry modern snake oils sales people, the secret is out.

What are the washing instructions for it??

lmao! How to break in a new Leatherman using a q-tip dipped in really expensive food grade mineral oil.

From what I see in the video, the box fan's performance was better

You mentioned it saved your butt a few times. Would you be able to share the situations in which this multitool became useful?

What's your opinion on the wicked edge 66

Box fan filter technically should mount on the exhaust side to prevent the motor from over heating. Also, add a thin charcoal filter pad to add extra stank removal

Iv dremelled the original izula sheath down to the size for a little blade slip for pocket carry works great

Im an average guy, I work in retail and I carry the surge! And I love it, I figured if I was gonna buy a real leatherman, I might as well spend the money and get the big surge! (Go big or go home) lol I don’t even notice the weight on my belt! I love it!

What is the diameter of the screw? I am interested in purchasing an alternative ppt.

Awesome finally somebody getting the job done. A real review
