Discussion What is titanium most appropriate for?

2 Upvotes

I got a tiny knife that refills with an x-acto #11. It’s marketing is all about how it’s made of titanium. The knife slides out very poorly and feels likes scratchy and jams. I’m then looking at kickstarter and it’s titanium after titanium after titanium (not necessarily the knives though). It’s lighter, it’s rust proof, and so on. I believe it’s rather soft so blades is not a good idea. Can it slide across itself such as the swivel joint in a plier multitool handle?

Does anyone have any c33tx that they are willing to part with. Cross posting

2 Upvotes

My sergeant gave me mine. And what I want to do is make sure that I have parts and components to replace things as they wear down. I’ve had it repaired with Leatherman a few times in the past keeping the same handle and screwdrivers, and just replacing the blade, but what I want to do is make sure that I have an extra one so that I can put the one that actually has sentimental value away and keep it safe specifically I’m looking for the C33TX in all black.

I want to clarify I’m not trying to buy a knife, sell knife or trade a knife. I’m just seeing if somebody might have some parts. I apologize if this ends up in the category that Leatherman doesn’t allow.

My dad just bought this tool, and we can’t figure out what this hook on the back of the eternal pen is supposed to be for. It’s not listed on the ten uses on the tool’s box. Any ideas?

Love this thing. It saved me today, I had to saw though a Accor Tech Flowtite valve. It's already had a warranty replacement a few years ago.

(the jaws snapped. I literally put in the warranty repair that I didn't have a receipt anymore. The thing was super old and it was more sentimental than it was to get it fixed, but just in case could they fix it?)

I guess the question I have is, if you have this. What's your next one that you should get?

Recommendation Request Affordable EDC tool

4 Upvotes

I am not a person that works in trades so not a heavy user but would like a multitool to keep around with me. I really love the functionality and look of the Leatherman Skeletool CX but I just can't spend that much on a tool. I am into the EDC culture stuff but still want something functional (not keychain size). Does anyone have outside the box suggestions? I was thinking under $35 but that might be tough.

It is pretty basic but this from Amazon caught my eye: WORKPRO Multitool-11 in 1 Camping Tools with Pocket Clip and Sheath, Blue

This also looked interesting, just wish it was a different color: Maarten Lightweight Multitool Pliers, 11 in 1 Suspension Multi-Plier with Carabiner, Stainless Steel Portable Pocket Keychain Multi tool with Spring Pliers, Folding Saw, Bottle Opener and Sheath

Recommendation Request Small knife and scissor combo?

6 Upvotes

I'm looking for a small knife and scissor combo that has more room to grip the tools to open them.

I cannot stand the little nail nicks on the Classic SD, so I'm looking for something similar, but has tools that are less frustrating to open, if that makes sense.

Recommendation Request Multitool/key organizer

2 Upvotes

Hi, everyone. My Leatherman skeletool broke and I want to use this opportunity to find something new. I'm looking for a multitool with kinda same dimensions as the skeletool, maybe a bit smaller, with pliers, screwdrivers and a ruler, no blade and a way to put my two keys inside. I'm in Germany, if it changes anything. Thanks!

Any Compatible Sheaths?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hi all.

I'm relatively new to multitool ownership, what with having my Wave+ for a short while now. I'm interested in modding the Wave+ with the hammer mod from Modryte. However, because I'm also interested in ZapWizard's sheaths, I've halted on making a purchase in either direction.

Do either of you know if this mod and the ZapWizard sheaths are compatible? Or any other sheaths with some modularity, or carry capability beyond just the multitool?

Heard good things in this group about Dacaimping so i ordered one to check it out. Love the finish and tolerance so far but,half the time, the blades are making contact too directly and stopping pliers from closing properly. Could this be a simple issue i can solve by tightening/loosening the proper spots?

Just a set of photos to show another example. Looks like these were made for https://profi-star.de/ base on the markings.

Here is the 5 minute review.

It comes bone dry and stiff.

The vice grip works as intended. Screw works better with a little gun oil.

Getting the phillips out the first time was tough, same with the rest of the tools, including the knife on the other side. After playing with it for a few minutes everything loosened up a little. Then I added a little gun oil and it got better.

The knife is sharp. The knife has a little wobble to it.

The file looks ok. I wish it was rougher, this is closer to a nail file, but should do the trick.

The phillips and flatheads are fine.

The can opener... odds are I will never use it. IF this was going to the woods I would change the angle a little to make it cut in easier.

For new old stock/10 year old design, it is a good tool. I have to say having it in hand only makes me want to talk a manufacturer into making new ones with a slightly different design and tool set.

I’ve been carrying my Leatherman in this holster every day since 2021

44 Upvotes

originally designed this holster for myself back in 2021, and I've been wearing it daily ever since.

I've made a few small tweaks to the design over the years, but the basic design has stayed the same. It's been rock solid through daily use.

The main thing I wanted was something simple that would keep the Wave secure on my belt without completely covering the tool. It uses the wave's push-button lock to hold the Wave in place and release it when needed.

I recently made versions for different belt widths and for both the Wave and Wave+.

Curious what you guys think of it. Would you use something like this, or do you prefer the standard Leatherman sheath?

Question/Advice Looking for feedback on the Roxon Flex Companion

5 Upvotes

I am looking for a light weight, easy to carry multitool. it will mostly be used for grandpa duty and in support of my 3-D printing. I need a knife, pliers, scissors and bit driver. A utility knife /scalpel would be nice.

The Flex Companion can be configured this way.

I’m looking for feedback from people who have actually used the Companion as their EDC. How was your experience with the device? Are the undersized scissors and pliers useful?

I used to have one of those Gerber multitools from my grandpa and really liked it, does anyone have a recommendation for something similar? I'd like to try branching out and seeing some other brands too

Recommendation Request Looking for recommendations - Resort Travel Tool

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a multi-tool that I can put in a checked bag and find useful at a resort. So... I'm not going to be using this for survival, but for anything I might need while waiting for room service. 😄

What would you recommend OR what specific functions do think I should be looking for. I've given up on a wine opener as basically nothing has that anymore. But besides the pliers, selection of screw drivers, scissors and a knife, what else should I be looking for functionality wise?
