r/multitools

This is the first leatherman I ever bought, is it a good deal? feels like it'll be a great fishing tool.

My Wave Plus with a few mods…

Hammer Mod

T-shank adapter. Replaces original saw.

Titanium pick. Stored in slot where hidden lanyard ring used to be.

Rebar pliers. Just added today.

For better plier fitment, all I did was grind the small raised tabs in the handles with my dremel, and they fit near perfect. Didn’t have to touch anything else. There is a little bit of rubbing against the can opener, but that’s about it. Nothing’s keeping the handles from closing all the way.

Oh yeah, I did use a shim between the bit-holder and can opener when I 1st installed the hammer mod. That probably helped provide a little more clearance on that side.

Contrasts.

New arc vs 75 year old folder (lütters)

Both are awesome and have retired other knifes I have.

Where’s a good place to get gerber mp600 heads, I’ve been looking for the fisherman head and the bone cutters under 100$ but I can’t seem to find them.

Upon receiving my X1 multitool, also got a message from the owner of Dakoyu. It was written in Chinese, stating its new website will be dakoyutool.com , the old website, and current seller of Dakoyu tools on Amazon, is no longer part of the corporation.

So this immediately made my package box more rare and limited than the X1 multitool itself LOL

BTW there must be some hidden knife guy in this company...my X1 main blades all come at a 40~50% lockup out of the box, at any random flick. My other multitools like the Charge, TTi and Surge all go like 90~100% and gets stopped by the scale or the screw. Considering how Chinese manufacturers tend to cuddle together in nearby industrial parks, the knife and frame part of the X1 may actually come from a supplier that makes knives for reputable knife brands. A very pleasant surprise :D

Hello everyone! I know that small Cobra pliers are a designated tool, but I have seen many posts here where people are including them in their EDC pack. Usually the XS 100mm version.

They did look practical to me, but I never really saw anyone explaining or confirming where they used it. Or, which size would be the best fit. So, after a few clips on yt (and also on instinct) I decided to buy the 125mm one. The reason I made this post is because I wanted to share my experience.

So, yesterday I went to my sister's new apartment to do some handy work. One of the jobs was connecting water hose to the kitchen sink faucet. I had the designated big pliers and wrench, but decided it was the perfect opportunity to test the small Cobra. And it was actually up to the task. It was easily one hand adjustable, it felt like a wrench in my hand, and I could turn it quite comfortably, with force.

The second time I used it was while adjusting the washing machine "legs" in the bathroom. Once again, I was surprised by how one can easily use them, holding them with just fingers, to make a small adjustment. And it was better this way, because it allowed me to leave the machine unsupported and just turn the wheels while getting it leveled.

As for the reason I went for the 125 mm version of the Cobra, the guy in the video explained that it was actually more convenient for the hand vs the XS Cobra. Not just grip wise, but rather because of the force, you can hold it firmly in the palm and have some leaver. And I agree with him, if it was shorter, it would hit the middle of the palm.

I added pictures for size reference.

I hope this is helpful to someone. Have a nice day.

Some of the best EDC multis you can carry. Whats the consensus on best bigger multi tool? I haven’t gotten into that realm yet but don’t want to waste my money on marketing schemes. Arc, Wave, Wave Plus, etc?

Also, banned from the LM sub lol so this must be my new home ha. I also have pliers with a crescent on one handle and a pry bar on the other, will post that later

My Center Drive was a gift. But for my job its probably one of the most useful multi tools I have. But it would get destroyed after a year of use there. So I tend to use my Duel Force since its a bit cheaper to replace and the driver is the same.

For edc my preference is the skeletool.The knife and pliers are better then power pint. It feels more comfortable to use. But I swear every other time I carry my skeletool I end up needing the scissors or the tiny screwdriver. Or when I carry the sog it seems like I end needing a knife primarily that day. Which I feel is the power pints main weakness.

This looks much better than I expected. It works really well.
