- In this video I run through my Everyday Carry 2022 (EDC) Leatherman Free T4 and why I’m a little confused on why Leatherman made this and who exactly is it for?
I hope you enjoy.

It's definitely meant for leatherman fans who want more than a knife but not a full sized multi tool. If someone is already a victorinox fan they probably won't find this appealing. I carry a wave + daily for work and the t4 daily (well more than 50% of days as I do like to carry small slip joints only sometimes). It is bulky with the clip so I remove it and pocket carry it in the fall and winter. Come spring I put the clip back on and clip it in the back pocket of my shorts. While it is not heavy duty I have found it is very capable. Don't believe anyone who says the awl doesn't or can't work since it has a screwdriver for a tip. It easily made a new hole in my leather carhart belt and in cedar stakes for the garden. You didn't meantion the large flathead/package opener is also a mini pry tool. On a painting project last year i used it to remove staples and dig out old caulking during prep and to open the paint can each day. Just came across your channel and am looking forward to watching more. Your content and the commenters here seem alot more positive than other channels I have been watching.
I got one for Christmas as a surprise and I absolutely love it! its perfect for just everyday uses im so grateful for it
Great to hear!
The Leatherman T4 is for people like me who want to carry a separate pliers (e.g., Knipex Cobra) and a multi tool with a blade and screwdrivers. I have Victorinox SAKs but prefer the T4 due to the harder steel and locking implements. Thanks for the video.
Cheers Bob. I figured if locking was a priority, and you didn’t want a pliers, this Leatherman is for you 😊. How do you like it? Would you recommend it or do you find yourself using something else?
@@MarcusCreates I like and recommend the Free T4, though the file could be larger. I carry the T4 in a belt holster.
Hey Marcus, I see you brought back a tan from the break. No doubt but that you and the family enjoyed it. Great video again with a genuine no nonsense review. Have a couple of Leatherman’s in my collection, rotate regularly. Keep safe. P
Cheers P. Fantastic break from everything, and came back ready to make some videos! What's your most used or favorite Leatherman?
@@MarcusCreates Rotate a Leatherman MUT with my Leatherman Signal both carried with a Leatherman bit extension and bit kit. I also have a Raptor, that lives in a first aid bag I keep in my car, also used with an under 14 rugby team I coach with others. Rathoath, Co. Meath. Paul
Oh I want one of those Raptors sooo bad. Ideal to keep in the back of the truck!
One of these stays in my right pocket everyday. I wear baggy clothes and there is plenty of space in there, and I have lots of things in them....and.......I also (for many-many years) wear a Surge within a Deadskin leather sheath on the left side of my belt. I just love to have whatever I may need [on me...always in the same place...always], everyone is different I guess, and as far back as I can remember, I just have many functional tools on me.....always. Great review by the way, be well.
Thanks for sharing! I’m definitely one of those people that likes a place for everything. Becomes muscle memory. You have whatever item you need to use in your hand without even thinking about getting it. 😂
Leatherman T4 and P4 are my favourite Leatherman ever. The T4 is great for EDC when I’m not on the farm property where the P4 pliers always come in handy fixing fencing wire, tightening plumbing fittings etc etc
I bought a T2 after debating if it would be worth it. So far am happy with it as it has the main tools I use the most. Love that the tools come up easily and they are locked when you use them. Keep it in my car but move to pocket when needed.
Thanks for sharing. And glad it’s working out for you.
I carry this in my EDC J803 messenger bag. I’m firm on using locking/fixed blades only. The clip keeps the T4 from falling into my bag. One handed opening isn’t a priority for me. I guess this T4 is for me (:
Sounds like it, and glad you get good use out of it.
Hi Marcus, thank you for your Videos! I always like them very much.
Have you ever tried a Victorinox Swisstool as Leatherman alternative? I cant use Leathermans here in Germany because of the one-handed knife so the Swisstool is my multitool of choice.
Hey Da Se. I've never tried one but would like to. Maybe I'll add it to my birthday list 😀. Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm learning a lot while I make these.
I am waiting for a T4 remodeled with more focus on the scissors. I need a reliable and sharp well made scissors like with victoronox but larger size. Working in emergency field requires me to bring a raptor, skeletool and a victorinox at the same time. I need one and done and t4 with a larger size victorinox caliber quality scissors can do the job.
I love Victorinox and I love Leatherman. If I need a pocket tool for one handed use and locking mecanism in every tool. The answer is easy for me. Depends your needs.
Thanks for sharing and makes sense
I definitely love this. I’m a shipper, and I have my surge with me and I don’t need to keep it on my hip so I keep it in my desk. This is great to always have for that box cuter and basic tools without the entire multi tool.
Love that! 100% it’s a quality tool as you’d expect. And having it on your desk is a no brainer. Glad it works for you 👍🏻
What pocket clip do you have on the compact? I had no idea you can add one.
I recommend and use this one. Game changer. Will add to description but linked here for convenience. amzn.to/3ODL88f
As someone who's got the Surge about just over 2 years ago, I love it a lot and find uses for it quite frequently, and can't believe that I never had a multitool to start with. I know people complain about the bulk, but for me I can't say that I've got a problem with it because I don't know the weight and bulk of other multitools 😂 anyways, I have a slight issue with the Leatherman bit changer and kit in the sense that they're not "far reaching" compared to the medium flat that comes with the surge, and since that part broke about a year ago, I've been having to get out a dedicated medium flat from my toolbox, which has become a bit of a problem, knowing that I used to have the ease of access in my pocket 🙈 despite the ease of access I had, the ergonomics of using the tools for screwdriving has been a bit cumbersome as they're off center, which from what I can see on this T4 is actually a plus for a change, so since I need to send in my Surge for repairs on that medium flat, this T4 might come in handy as a compliment to my Surge. Only time will tell, but after some consideration I've decided to bite the bullet and get it anyways, so yeah. Thanks for the review and opinions raised in the video though, I appreciate people's reviews of gear as it does give a different perspective and reasoning as to my own set of ideas and experiences with it. Keep it up
Thanks for sharing
I’ve got that one and it works good for what I need it for
Great. It’s high quality as you’d expect from Leatherman. Glad you enjoy it. 😊👍🏻
Greetings Marcus, great video. Just subscribed to your channel. I don't have the T4 but I do have the T2. It was a gift from my daughter because she knows I love Leatherman and it was in her budget plus she had an inscription put on it so I've been carrying it ever since. I'm a huge Victorinox fan too and have a nice little collection of those so I can say in comparison do I love the T2, no, I prefer a SAK for a pocket knife but do I hate it, no it is useful but I probably wouldn't have purchased it on my own. Do I use it, absolutely. Will I continue to carry it? Yes but would I recommend it?... probably but for the very same reasons you did the T4. Anyway just my 2 cents worth from a new subscriber. Look forward to more of your videos 😉
Thanks for watching John and really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Leatherman is a phenomenal company and I have something like 8 of their tools. So I’m definitely a big fan. Also, if my daughter inscribed my name onto a T2 I’d carry it every day too. 100%
@@MarcusCreates you're welcome. She had her brother's name inscribed in it. He passed away in 2020, he was 16. I also used to EDC a Surge but my mother - in -law gifted me with a Charge TTI with an inscription about him a few months back so I carry those daily. My only fear would be losing either but I'm pretty self conscious when I use them to make sure I don't,😉 anyway looking forward to seeing more videos 👍
@@SpacecityEDC Sorry for your loss. And be careful with those leatherman. They sound like more than tools.
I’ve noticed that if you keep the tool lubed it’s much easier to open not only the knife but each tool.
That’s a good heads up. A lot of people have responded on here that they love the Free T4 and I completely get it.
Wanting this T4 for EDC, but being in the UK I would need to disable the locking mechanism or remove the blade.
If you do, make a video would be interesting too see!
I have a suspicion there is no back spring or detent to give some resistance when open so I think I will close very easy.
Might have to use a dremel to make a choil on the blade.
All I know is I got mine for Christmas cause I asked for a knife I could abuse and use heavily all the pros and cons I could really care less I’m gonna use it and be happy with it
It’s a great knife from a premium brand. You can’t really go wrong to be honest. Hope you enjoy abusing it. It’s built to last.
I just ordered one of these -- I like victorinox knives but none of the alox models offer a tool set I truly desire. It's either too little or too much. I refuse to use the models that aren't alox Because they just feel cheep. I have tried to carry larger tools and I just end up losing them. I use pliers so rarely that I've decided to just have dedicated pliers..
Let me know what you think of it when you’ve had a chance to get used to it.
@@MarcusCreates The scissors are a bit lacking, they struggle with Paracord and some fabrics, a little oil helps. Blade is amazing, cuts super well, and the action on all of the tools feels just so freaking good. Overall I'm really impressed and don't regret my purchase.
It's for me that's who. I bought one I stuck it in my pocket and I use it. I have gone crazy looking for the perfect tool. So I just used this thing with a automatic knife call it good
Great 👍🏻. Glad you’re happy with it.
I'd love to carry more Leatherman tools but the UK knife laws make that somewhat difficult
I remember. Lived there for 5 years.
@@MarcusCreates haha something about the accent 😁
You just have to loosen the screws where the blade it’s mounted in the grip.
Thanks for the heads up. Will give it a go
I don't get it. 1 hander =skeletool. the knife is fine and opens good with 1 hand. and you get pliers. its thinner. I guess its heavier but its still less chunky then that free tool.
I bought two and gave them away the are just a little bulky
They're not for everyone for sure
Needs a toothpick.
Nice videos, just one little advice: the items in your hand should be in focus not just your face. its really annoying that i cant really see the gadget youre speaking about.
Wow, why focused on a face not on a hands(
Beginner mistake 😬
yo what the fuck its like the Oprah of multi tools.
Impossible to watch. The camera is focused on your huge beard, so the tool in your hands is hard to see.
Hahaha. Sorry Bob. Am still only learning how to do this youtube stuff.
