I'm a huge fan of Leatherman, I never leave the house without one! The only multitool I carry and trust. From the Bond, Curl, Super Tool 300 and Surge. I have multiple tools for different tasks and chores. God bless Mr. Tim Leatherman, Ben Rivera and all those employees at the company.
I LOVED this video, I LOVE MY LEATHERMAN! I have over 20, I collect and I never leave the house without one. The quality is excellent. Thank you for Leatherman letting us the diehard fan & customer to see how it’s made.
I bought some cheap walmart china knockoffs in the latter '90s, but the plier tine half would break off and I ended up only using the knife or punch, so i never got the real thing, but this is a fantastic tour and 300T press is short for "quality", that much forging pressure would make good stuff from iron or aluminum depending on thickness. Awesome still made in America, Japan has companies that are 500 years old, and while some might say the jobs we sent them went to vietnam/china, the fact is they're still there supplying domestic japan market, so less jobs yes, but still present.
How much fun would a factory tour be!! I sure wish you had a better camera man! I would've liked to see a lot better, closer, longer clips of what's going on there!
Hey brother!We have the best camara guy in the business BUT we also have to respect Leatherman's business and NOT show all their trade secrets to the people that are trying to copy them. We want Leatherman to stick around and not let some company overseas watch our video and do some knock offs.
The cnc equipment and preses they have and all the dies that form the steel aren't cheap. I did get a Wingman and a Sidekick recently at my local Ace Hardware for a around $46 bucks although the Wingman ranged up $69 but the price tag said $49 so they sold it to me for that price. I had an $7 Ace Coupon for both too lol
