I like the wingman used it for years and never had a problem the plyers worked well not a big fan of the skeletool but it’s not made for heavy duty work
I’ve heard a lot of people who own the Wingman like it. I liked its toolset and spring loaded pliers are nice. I wouldn’t personally recommend it because I felt the wire cutters and scissors were a step backwards. I did a whole video on the WM if you’re interested czcams.com/video/D3XAKyL2gkE/video.htmlsi=fh6Y_mj9Ed3VOKpR Yeah the Skeletool does have some compromises, the pliers are thin and the handles are only comfortable if you don’t have to really squeeze them
@@Kayakatools I’ll have to check out the video
This is exactly the video I was looking for about a month ago. Ended up buying the skeletool, very nice piece of kit, not really the best at doing anything, but it gets the job done for what I need it for and it’s the perfect size and weight for what I wanted.
I’m glad you found one you like. The skeletool is really handy. Starting with the Skeletool also gives you room to upgrade if you ever want to try another one lol.
Was ist denn mit dem KICK , FUSE, BLAST, CORE ? Die werden in diesem Stammbaum ja gar nicht erwähnt. Kommt da noch ein anderes Video zu? Oder sind das keine Kaufempfehlungen?
This video is about explaining Leatherman’s currently available lineup. Even though I didn’t cover retired tools you can see the Kick, fuse etc. mentioned in text at 1:05 , and the rest of the plier tools are shown in an image at the end, OHT, Crunch etc.
@@Kayakatools danke für die schnelle Antwort.
Amazing video, just what I needed.
I’m glad it helped
Your video is of great quality! I Subscribed instantly.
Welcome to the channel!
no one uses an awl.
I use one probably once a week and is why I have to carry an Alox Victorinox along with whatever tool or knife I have. No one does the awl/reamer like they do. Leathermans are ok if your goal is to caveman your way through something soft. If you want to actually drill something then the Victorinox specifically the inline reamer only on the 93mm line is the way to go.
i use it quite a lot, for leatherworking and for drilling stuff if you dont have power tools when you need them, that being said, i mean the victorinox one, the leatherman is not quite as useful
I’ve used the Free one for drilling a hole for a drywall anchor (and hammering it in). Also used the threading and screwing functions of that particular one.
Im surprised you did not mention that the skeletool is a huge waste of money. Mine broke the plier part off twice. I went and bought a gerber that has yet to need to be returned.
The skeletool has the weakest plier head. The Surge/Supertool plier head, Free, and Rebar/Signal are the strongest I believe.
The Curl''s a really underrated tool. Shame it didn't get included.
I cover the Curl at 2:24 , it is a good option.
@@Kayakatools I watched the whole video, yet somehow I missed that!
The video I was looking for !
Great work summarizing a lot of information in a very easy to understand format. Thanks for putting it together 👍👍👍
Pretty good doodle
I love what you said about a watchmaker multitool. I would buy that in an instant
running your fingers down a bit like that was chaotic at the least
I should have got one when I had the chance. Snooze you lose I guess.
Check around any local fishing/hunting/farming stores, there’s still a couple left out there!
Leatherman Charge Tti
Love mine!
My God your thumb is so long it's freaky
I just use a zip tie
All trash. Leatherman is better.
True but Leatherman discontinued their Juice and squirt series, leaving only the Micra. There’s still a market for keychain and 3” tools
Wow, therapeutic.
I dont need one. But i def want one. But resellers are acting like its made of 14k gold
I feel ya, the Crunch is the only pair of locking pliers I own so it gets used, but a regular pair of vice grips would work just as well, Just nowhere near as cool or compact. Check around locally, some less-trafficked places still have them
Very nice work! 😎👍🏻
Nice vid. Weight in gramms would be helpful as well :)
I loved the creativity at the end: “subscribe”
You should sale those scales to the public. I would buy one for sure!
I should do that, I need to finish the shield logo, I’m considering using wood instead of brass to simplify the process
@@Kayakatools you do a fantastic job on them. Telling ya they would sell like hot cakes.
I have no use for pliers the size of the ones on the sog. Love my mini sailor
I like the mini sailor as well, I carry a Victorinox Signature lite for my mini tool.
I just ordered one, hopefully it turns out to be good
The Spirit package opener does work really good but I like the Leatherman Rev/Wingman package opener the best. The new Victorinox Companion has a very good package opener as well. I open alot of plastic packaging and I like changing up my multitool carry. If my plier multitool doesn't have a package opener, I carry my Victorinox Companion. They all make it so much easier and it's both safer for you and your item inside. I used to go slower with a knife, and I never damaged or cut myself, but with these, it's so much easier. As a whole, the Spirit X is the best multitool I own. My Rebar is my most used and my Rev is my most casual carry, since it's thin, lite, and has a solid pocket clip, but the tools are not the best, besides the package opener, which should be on other tools.
Mmmm, why?!
A few years ago, a customer of mine wanted me to build his iPod into his Swiss army knife, and I put it together with a wooden cover in such a way that it also functioned as a money clip, because I screwed and glued the part of the clip into the body.
An iPod in a SAK is crazy, that would be cool to see
Not sure if its the tool for me but i do really like the xzacto blade bit
Same
I think polywatch would work nicely without the need to use sandpaper
Very nice
this is awesome! I made a set of wooden ones but didn't think about doing 2 layers and cutting them out with my laser. Do you have a good place to source thin exotic wood like that?
Hey thanks, yep I got all the hardwoods from this website ocoochhardwoods.com/scroll-saw-lumber/ and the veneers I got in a pack from someone selling on Amazon
@@Kayakatools Awesome, just ordered some from them and mentioned your youtube channel in the comments section of the order. Maybe they'll throw you a discount on your next order or something! haha
That package opener was on a the Victorianox spirit?
Yes, it’s on the corner of the chisel, technically it’s for cutting wire laterally. There are two wire stripping notches below it as well.
SPLENDID MAESTRO
Gross..
I liked the part when you expanded the hole ;)
RIP Leatherman Crunch 😢 I hope that they are working on a new version of it.
Me too, although I kind of doubt it, most people aren’t looking for locking pliers, and the mechanism takes up space, maybe they will tho. I found mine in a small fishing store 2 months ago so there’re still a few out there!
Impressive!
There isn’t any thought about the SAK Felix Immler hasn’t had yet.
The package opener is good... that's it for the "pros" of the Wingman
Very excellent work, a lot of ideas and tips! Thank you for sharing! And as someone who enjoys tinkering for the sake of tinkering, One, is never enough...
Super Video!... Thank you very much for mention me!!
Hey Felix, I’m glad you liked it
I'm wondering if installing the thumb stud was worth doing...
Not really, I like the way it looks but it doesn’t stick out enough to use one handed, and it shortens the usability of the blade. I prefer my swisstool spirit MX clip though anyways
Beautifulwork mate
Sehr schöne Arbeiten. Grüsse aus der Schweiz 🇨🇭
that was a lot of work man :D But the result was satisfying. well done.
Good job
I like this but im curious. The leatherman bits are the reason i stopped bying leatherman. They are soft and don't work unless whatever is already loose. Have you tested these bits? I recently bought a bibury 19-1 multi tool for the first time in many years. Leatherman has lost it's way in my opinion. Any mechanic will tell you plyers should never be made of stainless.
I have not, I doubt they’re any better. I don’t have much experience w LM bits because I mainly carry my P4 or a swisstool spirit. I like the reach of a dedicated Philips
