Thanks for putting out this video. With the holiday weekend everything is up in the air with not knowing if folks are just not there to answer questions or if operations has stopped. Simply unknown. For now I am taking stock (literally) of what I have on hand, and what route to take next.
@ZapWizard I really appreciate what you have done for the multi tool community!! Hopefully you can find another supplier. I appreciate your desire to verify and make sure you are selling quality products!
I now have 3 of your holsters. I'd really love to get a slim model to fit my garage 5. I hope you can find another service and continue to sell your great products.
Such a bummer and I think it’s gonna ripple through the community. If there’s anything MultiParts Store can do to help with distribution etc, feel free to reach out.
1985 is the year of my birth. I feel pretty worn out. Wish I had one but victorinox is about the only brand I don't have in my collection. I'll have to change that asap
Thank you so much for sharing this news, I’m a big fan of pc doodle, I managed to get the flashy and volty switch, discovered that PC Doodle may be coming out with a new / redesigned flashy for the Leatherman ARC, I agree with you in trying to help these small businesses, I’m hoping that the people will like the redesign. I’m looking forward to getting the redesigned flashy!! Love your channel and content. Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!! Your awesome and doing and outstanding job. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🏿 from Washington state.
All is not lost. Zap will zip around when least expected. We need competitions to keep the standard up there. Possibilities are endless when there's visionary rebels. ZW is king of mods.!
If he sells the stl instead, you could either print them yourself or use a service like JLCpcb or PCBway to make them. Its sad that Shapeways died but there are still options
Thanks for mentioning my designs. I hadn't heard about Shapeways shutting down. I haven't used Shapeways for the last 10 years or so, as I was never happy with their print quality. Also, I prefer to avoid a middle man and produce my own parts. The main things they had going for them was drop-shipping, and a well known retail platform, but there are other companies already working to fill the gap. It won't be long before the designers who have been using them come up with another solution.
Sad news I have two Leatherman's. A PST that I got in the 1980's and a new Leatherman ARC. I have not used the Arc more than 5 times but keep it around because of the Holster. Tax write-off is probably higher than 5 million.
Like that sheath design at the start of your video here. If only could have it a full faced design for a Garage #5. Kept asking Zap Wizard for a build to purchase, claiming it would be available before too long, yet never happened. Then saw Shapeways went belly up. Trying to get a leathercrafter to made an Arc/G#5 sheath with pockets for 711L Flex, LM Ratchet, Volty+ and perhaps have a small side area to add a couple of bits (no card).
Hey could you possibly supply a link for somewhere to get those cool thumb studs you have? Im looking for some for my wingman and my surge! Thank you in advance! Love your channel and the content you make and cover!!!
Sorry to hear that. I got the hammer attachment and thumb thingy for skeletool and completed the tool - never liked the open end ,too flimsy.Didnt know he did scalpel holder for the Sog powerpint- would have been interested in that😢
@Maixo The scalpel holder for the power pint was made by someone else, that's what was great about shapeways. People, the community could sell their ideas.
I would really like to know your thoughts on the powerpint scalpel holder. I'm the designer who made that and I've been trying to get feedback to improve the design. I would like to keep the model available if I can find another similar service.
I love skeletool! I have micra, wave, surge, charge, crater... some swisstools... sogs... a lot of chinese stuff... but skeletool is my favorite. I bought a hammer from etsy and made a mod myself. I added a scissor on my skeletool.
I'm gonna be honest Right now I don't have an income But once I do Your videos and reviews on mutitools are helpful in choosing tools that i will buy in the future. Altho some of the products may be deshelved or they won't make them anymore or deserviced still they help give me the information I need to make better decisions on what to buy and what I'm looking for
What is the big difference between having a regular blade and the original? I mean you don't have to change the blades and also most people who carry a multi tool also carries a knife. Just don't seem like a big deal
Why only tell after they're insolvent... seriously... never heard of them before today.... !!!! Not sure why you didn't promote them while they were still in business!!!???😢
Leatherman is done and gone for me anyway as a fossil only pushing for Highscores in price with stupid color variations. Proxon put the last nail in the coffin. But they have to start make things available outside US. That really annoys me.
