  • Reviewing the Leatherman Free T4 a lightweight compact pocket tools. this is a really nice pocket sized multitool with locking blade and tools. I really like the concept and thing Leatherman is onto something here that could eventually give the Victorinox Tinker tool a run for its money.
    the Pros are this tool is light weight with a great blade and all of the tools lock.
    Cons: the tools is a little spendy, and has a few small missed design opportunities Overall good tool I hope Leatherman keeps working on it!
    A great step in the right direction, with a little more work I think Leatherman could turn this into a great tool, it's just not quite there yet.

    I got one on the way. And about the file, for me this is perfect. In my hobby/crafting, this file is more then enough. It is all comes down for what you need it. The right tools, for the specific job!

    This is a nice tool, one of LM’s very best executions and it’s walk and talk is equal to anything from Vic, BUT its not nearly as svelte as a Swiss product. The scissors on the T4 are world-class IMO. That said, the T4 is a favorite MT of mine: LM or Victorinox notwithstanding.

      I have to agree they did a good job with this one and when I'm looking for something that doesn't have pliers, I find myself reaching for this one.
      Thanks for watching!

    I only use Scissors like this for thread, during repair sewing or cutting loose treads off clothes. And I only use the awl as a threading awl for repair as well, don't really like the blunt screwdriver tip on the awl, it's alright. I guess the awl would be okay to ream soft wood.

    I've been on the fence of this for a while. I always just carry a knife, multi tools tend to be a touch excessive for me. I will say my swiss army knife is CRAZY nifty though. Have been thinking about getting this as a do it all kind of thing. Would go with the smaller one but yeah, how does it not come with a pocket clip??? c'mon Leatherman..... great review!!

      I would get a SAK over this any day. They come in so many different configurations there's certainly one that will fit your needs like a glove
      Leatherman is better suited for plier based multi tools

    The scissors on the one I got failed after about 10 cuts into PAPER. Paper caused the scissors to bind up and not spring back. Maybe the tool I got was defective. I returned them.

    Nice review but still not for me. A Skeletool weight is close and I've never needed a scissors that a knife couldn't work...but a pliers is a must for me...use em all the time. I still can't really see why this tool weighs what it does...but hey, tons of Leathermans for every taste!
    I do like my Leathermans, lol.
    Skeletool clipped to my pocket, Squirt Ps4 on every keychain (Jeep and Harley), Wave in Wrangler glove box, Juice CS4 in my little bag that goes from briefcase to backpack to saddlebag, and PSTii in my tacklebox. (My oldest/longest serving - 1998)

    I agree about the design being excessively chunky. Especially comparing it to an SAK with the same number of tools.
    The file is really stupid ! The large flat blade, pry bar, cable stripper, package opener tool from the K4 would have been miles better !

      I think the Free T4 does a good job on the locks and the tools overall are more sturdy than the Victorinox version found on tools such as the Tinker.
      That being said I'd like to see where they go with it, it has potential.
