    Guys, it will start a fire. It will help someone locate you. It will sharpen the blade on the Signal. It will smash things.. The tools do what they are made to do. Nothing on here is gimmicky. It is not intended as a primary tool for any tool. It is a backup tool when no other tool is with you. An inferior tool is the best tool when no other tool is with you. The Signal is an awesome multitool for those who spend time outdoors.

    I guess I see the sharpener and fero rod not as gimmicks but instead as last ditch emergency tools to complement my edc gear.

    I saw other reviews, a in them I saw a demonstration of how the ferrorcerium rod could be used. It worked. And other reviewers did a better job of explaining the survival tool factor. This review is not looking at this tool for what it is.

    I come here to do with the opposite of what this guy says just purchase the Leatherman signal and I never look back. Still going strong 4 years later

    I’m an outdoorsman and a scout leader and love my Leatherman Signal. It’s a great everyday carry tool. I don’t go into the backcountry or camping without it. The sharpening tool and whistle and striker are there for emergency purposes. But they all work great.

    If he lost his shit in the woods and only had this, he'd thank god for his gimmick fire starter and sharpener.

    it appears as a whole you are against multi tools in general. Want pliers, carry a full set, want wire cutters carry wire cutters, want a blade, buy a 6 inch kabar, want a hammer, carry a hammer, want multiple screwdrivers carry a full set etc etc. you're gonna have one hell of a time bringing a full tool box with you everytime you go out.

    holy crap this guy really hates this leatherman literally wth

  • @j.m.youngquist419

    In an emergency, you can use the sharpener for just about anything. You don't need to be so nitpicky.

    @lukeemery1635 Před 2 lety +1

    they are multitools mate they arent ment to replace proper tools, so ofcourse its not gonna be like a normal fire rod etc, just like any leatherman cant beat a proper set of dedicated pliers, i do not see your point here

    I love mine. EDC it every day. Is it perfect? No...never seen a perfect multitool. But for all the extras my other MTs have, the signal has what actually gets used. Not too heavy, comes with pocket clip. Would like an update with a plain edge knife and scissors.

  • @usmc1400

    I think the point of the signal is that you can have the rudimentary tools to survive. That’s probably the thought at least, since most people don’t carry a fire starting kit in their pocket. It seems sturdy built, and nothing is falling off.

  • @willallan6653

    I actually love the tool. I've had mine for a year now and I've always treated it as a backup item. Granted, an expensive item, but I've been pleased with its quality and durability. Bushcraft tools for me are my bk16, small forest axe and small folding saw usually a Laplander. I added this as my 4th tool and it lives in my haversack. Primarily used the pliers (for pots and grills) the awl and the can opener. Everything else is a redundancy. 2 is 1 methodology.

    The hammer is my most used tool… it’s awesome. It can even take on door pins. It also makes a great pry bar as one side overlaps and is narrow, it works good as a crow bar as you can hook and pull as well . I have 10 or so other leathermans but I always have a signal nearby as it has gotten me in and out of a lot of jams. It’s the only leatherman I have multiples of so I can always have one with me.

    I got the signal because I am what I believe the target market was for it. Prepper noobs. I don't own any multi tools and I imagined myself surviving with nothing but this on my belt. I don't go to the wilderness often and I thought it would be cool to have something that would allow me to tackle the elements. Don't judge me.

  • @sanmane7911

    I'm pretty sure that sharpening tool is meant to be run along the length of the blade similar to a file.

  • @akaliero7880

    Signal is the best

  • @michaellaird9262
    @michaellaird9262 Před 7 lety +1

    thanks for a better look at the signal. i've seen a few reviews on it but your review convinced me to stick with my ST300.

  • @cocoondesign
    @cocoondesign Před 6 lety +3

    The reason why the handle is loose is because you can swing it open with just one hand, and that's an important feature for an outdoor tool IMHO. I have been taught to perform many outdoor tasks with just one hand for emergency and survival purposes, and I have seen one of the Leatherman promotional video shown just that.

    its meant for emergency not constant use if you had no ferros rod you lost all your gear it would get you through i agree with chris of prepared mind 101
