I always wondered why this channel doesn't have more subscribers. Maybe it's because it is UK based and not US?? Is it because the focus is not on knives (which is probably the epicentre of EDC videos)?? Who knows....Anyway, I get most of my ideas on EDC here and I thoroughly enjoy what to me seems the absolutely best presentantion of the products anywhere on YT. Thank you Jonathan, for yet another absolutely enjoyable and informative video. Can't wait for your next one....
I agree, and I like the fact that there isn't much emphasis on knives here. That content on some other channels leaves me a bit cold, maybe because here in the UK the knife carry laws are quite restrictive.
I from the US and love this channel. I don’t always need knife videos like here in the US. Sometimes i just want practical edc gear and affordable which i end up seeing here.
Something I like about your channel is that you don't just endlessly yap about random things that aren't even relevant. You got into the important stuff an about 2 seconds in the beginning. Straight to the point. Very appreciated! I subscribed! 😎👍
Volty Switch is a very useful instrument and it fits perfectly in my Leatherman ARC and in the Leatherman Wave as well. A very versatile and ultra-portable micro multimeter. Besides checking batteries, I used the EMF detection feat in order to make sure that the wall socket I was taking apart has no power in it.
Not teaching you to suck eggs but don’t use this or a similar device to check that something is dead, use it to make sure it isn’t live then use an appropriately proved voltage tester before starting work 👍 stay safe
@@nje657 Thank you for your advice. I used the Volty to check for the presence of EMF before removing the fuse, and then checked again, confirming that the power was off.
It's been sold out for ages. I have contacted Leatherman several times in attempt to get a solid date as to when they will be back in stock. The popular answer over the phone and via email is the they are "waiting" for the manufacturer overseas to figure it out. C'mon Leatherman let's goooo!
That wild I carried a Gerber for yrs till a yr and half ago I decided to buy a wave while ordering it I got a rachet driver also I got lucky as heck and never knew it
My best Leatherman Accessory this year has been a B/Bury. If you are really into adventure, you need a knife that you can risk that drop and bounce into the drink, from the top of the mast, but never mind, you have several others to hand out.
Once again an awesome job Jonathan. Great content, great job. I enjoy all things Leatherman and Victorinox. Thanks again, I will share your channel with everyone I know! Carl in the US (New Jersey)
Some great finds here! I have no use for a Volty but the innovation is great 😁 I like that the videos don't have a lengthy intro, straight to the point 🫡
If someone needs an every day toolkit, isn't it better to carry the Wera Tool Check Plus with you? Or anything similar. Thanks for the nice informative and entertaining video as always.
The thing is most people that are utilizing these toolkits have them built specifically to have everything they need, nothing they don’t and usually quickly accessible (I.e. available on their belt). Something like the Wers tool check plus is going to have excess tools and not be a minimalist option
I got a molle sheath with my Wave, I didn't want the molle sheath I wanted the regular one tho after the upgraded sheath and a bit kit the charge woulda been the better buy
The Volty link doesn't work. Other than that, great content as always. It is really nice to see uk based EDC content. A large percentage of US EDC kit (knives especially) seem unavailable/illegal here.
Lots of good info… I find the Leatherman pocket clip disappointing. I picked up an iGuerburn Surge clip on Amazon several months ago for around $9 and it is excellent.
I would LOVE the Leatherman Ratcheting Bit Extender but it’s perpetually sold out on their website. Tried buying one on a Leatherman Facebook group and got scammed. I even signed up for the emails for when it comes back in stock, and it will come back in stock on a whim, but they will all be gone in less than a day, and I never get the email.
The Wave and Surge have hidden lanyard loops. So that got me thinking what is the one with the pocket clip going to be usefull for. Well if you attach it to your backpack you have a place to mount your tool on the go and quickly release it.
Zapwizard Designs had a bunch of useful aftermarket LM stuff and some good holsters. The main add-on I use is the ratchet driver, makes the bit driver experience so much better. Volty looks interesting but I’d rarely use it over a standalone tool. I basically never use any bits other than the one that comes with the Arc, but a carbide glass breaker would offer a but more piece of mind
Very informative. Multi tool/Swiss army knife drops in a pocket or glove box, can't see the advantage of multiple pouches or bags personally. Thanks Jon.
The Leatherman Molle Sheaths were originally designed for the MUT and the MUT EOD ( both discontinued) you forgot to mention the wrench slot located in the molle attachment strap.
The clip-in lanyard loop used in conjunction with the (hidden) built-in lanyard loop on some models of Leatherman like the Wave and Charge can be used to make a Leatherman into a slingshot.
The zipped Leatherman case is a bit pricey - and a bit on the large side - for an EDC kit - but - there is Always a But, but this is a positive one - the case would be marvellous as a Camera case for most compact digitals with charger, cables, spare batteries, SD cards and any other accessories - even lenses for a body.
Hi Jon. Is the 934940 available in the uk ? I've tried to order it thru the uk leatherman site and they are saying £30 to deliver which suggests it's coming from the USA
The molle pouch is frustrating. The XL is too big for a Wave to fit well, it drops too far down and it doesn't fit the bit kit well or additional wrench or bit extender... it really isn't great. But the Large version fits the Wave great, but only 1 bit kit again and no side stretch slots... so weird.
Buy the large leatherman sheath with the main pocket and two thin pockets on the inside and the two elastic side pockets. It fits my surge with two bit kits, saw/file blades, extender bar, 711L ratchet, small tweezers and a torch! The extender bar fits on one side and the torch on the other. 👍🇦🇺
I dont understand why Leatherman's standard sheaths/belt pouches are so small. Every one i have is very tight on the tool (Wave+) never mind trying to fit a pack of bits.
unless your Leatherman came with those strange bits last I checked everywhere is SOLD-OUT 711L makes some NICE tools although a bit pricey but a GOOD TOOL is worth it!
That leatherman ratchet driver has been unobtanium for several years now. Nobody has them in stock and Leatherman has never done another run of them. Only way to get one is to spend 100-200 from a ebay scalper.
that’s not true, they restocked it recently and said they’re going to do another restock…but yes it’s annoying to get. i got the last one in stock on a different website
Yes they restocke a miniscule suppy and don't bother to send the email notifications I signed up for with THREE different emails Addy's. Getting sick of Leatherman....
Correction: the leatherman Molle sheath has another really good pocket just next to the one you showed. You have to squeeze the sheath together to open it.
I personally don't get a case for a Leatherman. I feel the point is to have a small tool with a ton of functionality. If you have a whole purse can't you just have individual tools you need? To each their own, just my thoughts.
how many LONG TERM - YEARS - out of stock LM accessories did you suggest? Bit Kit #1? Out of stock for over 2 years. Bit set #2 was out of stock for over 2 years, then beame available about a year ago. It MAY be out of stock again. I haven't looked recently. I bought it when it became available. I want a bit set #1, since mine is missing 4 bits. Whether it will become available again in my lifetime? who knows? LM has no idea when it will be back in stock.) Ratcheting Extension (coming up on THREE YEARS - maybe FOUR - out of stock. Currently only available USED on the big auction site -at 2x to 3x the suggested retail for new.) Standard extension? (I hear they are getting rare) 7-11L ratchet and equivalent? It gets sold out regularly, at least on the big south american river and jungle site. Good luck getting everything this year at a reasonable price. ($15 for the proprietary bit bit sets is NOT a "reasonable" price.) A 32 piece standard 1/4 inch bit set - or 128 piece 1/8 inch bit set with an adapter to use in a 1/4 inch bit driver is under $10.) LM has become an expensive joke.
Try using a Philips head screwdriver and a proper carbide glass breaker on safety glasses and you'll see if it makes a difference. However I can't see the reviewed attachment being particularly useful in the real world. Still it's not much money.
The Molle sheath can be had by anyone in the US for less than 10 bucks at any army surplus store as its the same thing as a spare 9mm magazine holder. Leatherman quality has gone to crap lately. I'd stick with Victorinox.
its not a case or a kit....its a small bag......and unless its made of gold i can guarantee its not worth anywhere near what leatherman is charging for it.
Appreciate. I see this is four months old. The kit and pouch have doubled in price and the ratchet bit extender is now $120 ish! We need to simple STOP BUYING THEIR 💩 until they come back to earth.
In the UK, it's only called a “wrench” if the jaws are adjustable or if it's a torque wrench, otherwise it's called a “spanner” or sometimes a “key”. ( google search ). So for the metric users it would be a Ratchet Spanner, or more commonly just one word a Ratchet. Money is the edit, I stoped watching this video after the second time you said the price of an item then said pounds or dollars. As of this comment the Australian $1 buys 0.53 pound sterling and USA $1 buys 0.79 pound sterling. So saying something cost £30 or dollars is a gross misrepresentation of price. Just say the price in pounds and let the viewer do the conversion for their own currency. I will the video is well put together and well done.
I honestly can't see the point of any of these things. EDC pouches are ten a penny, and if someone could put better things in it than these fiddly attachments. Buy a tactical pen which doubles as a glass breaker, a mini ratchet wrench, a voltage tester pen. The pouch is big enough for them. Leathermans are great tools, but their attachments & accessories are expensive and questionable at best.
Not gonna lie, carrying a whole leatherman kit defeats the purpose of a compact multi tool and is clearly just a stupid ass gimmick intended to fuck people who have more money than sense and never do any actual work. 🤌😂🤣😂☠️

That volty is something I was JUST thinking about needing. Thank you so much for bringing this product to light!
I love my Volty switch. Just keep in mind you have to charge it with alligator clips...
Volty Switch is a very useful instrument and it fits perfectly in my Leatherman ARC and in the Leatherman Wave as well. A very versatile and ultra-portable micro multimeter.

Great video as always. It is so frustrating that the Leatherman ratchet driver is sold out. I really want one.
It's awesome I put a rubber band below the Grey switch and it is better than if it'd been narled
It's been sold out for ages.

You used the same link for the molle sheath and the voltybit👍
Tan sheath is for the M.U.T. Built specifically for the M4 platform and the military. I have been using it for over a decade. Excellent tool.
My best Leatherman Accessory this year has been a B/Bury. If you are really into adventure, you need a knife that you can risk that drop and bounce into the drink, from the top of the mast, but never mind, you have several others to hand out.
I’m glad you are looking at a Pacsafe model. Please review more if possible!! Excellent video!

8:47 I have carried a Charge TTI with the pocket clip for years, it's a bit fiddly to install, but it's rock solid with no play once you get it right.
If someone needs an every day toolkit, isn't it better to carry the Wera Tool Check Plus with you? Or anything similar. Thanks for the nice informative and entertaining video as always.
Not on your belt or in your pocket it isn't.

Always really high quality videos, nice 👍
Great content again mate. By the way you included the same link to the Leatherman molle pouch for Volty as well.
I went to buy the Leatherman adapt kit a few days ago but was put off by the £30 additional shipping costs
I’ve waited over a year for the leatherman Ratchet driver to come back in stock
You're not alone....
Leatherman is encouraging scalpers. Idk why they don’t continue producing it with so much demand. Doing a huge disservice to us consumers
It’s currently in stock for 39.99
@@BlazinCaucasian thank you. Really appreciate the heads up!

Welcome
Hi Jon. The Volty link shows the Leatherman Pouch.
Zapwizard Designs had a bunch of useful aftermarket LM stuff and some good holsters. The main add-on I use is the ratchet driver, makes the bit driver experience so much better. Volty looks interesting but I’d rarely use it over a standalone tool. I basically never use any bits other than the one that comes with the Arc, but a carbide glass breaker would offer a but more piece of mind
I think the learherman molle pouch is designed for very large leathermans like the MUT, signal, etc.
Really appreciate the vid!
Very informative. Multi tool/Swiss army knife drops in a pocket or glove box, can't see the advantage of multiple pouches or bags personally. Thanks Jon.
Hey, a question about Skeletool! Does the bit extender fit when the tool is closed? Seems like it would be easier to use that way.
The Leatherman Molle Sheaths were originally designed for the MUT and the MUT EOD ( both discontinued) you forgot to mention the wrench slot located in the molle attachment strap.
I wondered what that slot in the Molle strap was for! Thanks for sharing 👍
the MUT and MUT EOD aren't discontinued.
Благодарю! Очень интересно. 👍🏻
Hi jon, what flashlight was that you had in tale of knives holster?
Tale of Knives makes very high quality items, and I have two of their belt sheaths.
Yes, great quality 👍
The Leatherman MOLLE sheath is used with the MUT EOD Leatherman tool.
Nasty tease there on the ratchet. It hasn't been available for a long time!
The clip-in lanyard loop used in conjunction with the (hidden) built-in lanyard loop on some models of Leatherman like the Wave and Charge can be used to make a Leatherman into a slingshot.

Hello. Can the Leatherman Raptor Rescue fit the Tool Pouch ?
Hi Jon. Is the 934940 available in the uk ? I've tried to order it thru the uk leatherman site and they are saying £30 to deliver which suggests it's coming from the USA

8:55 are you aware the wave+ already has a hidden lanyard loop as standard?
mate, you missed out on all the hammer mods for the Skeletool
Pretty sure those little socket wrenches will break in most practical applications. Nice demo though.
Size has to be factored in for sure…
Where in the uk can I buy the ratchet bit driver ?
I dont understand why Leatherman's standard sheaths/belt pouches are so small. Every one i have is very tight on the tool (Wave+) never mind trying to fit a pack of bits.
Have ManSak will travel ? 🇨🇦😄
The Learherman Molle sheath was originally designed for the OHT
unless your Leatherman came with those strange bits last I checked everywhere is SOLD-OUT

IF you can find the Ratchet Driver - Leatherman has showed it not available for many months now.

@youtube unsubscribed me from your channel but luckily I re subscribed
I personally don't get a case for a Leatherman. I feel the point is to have a small tool with a ton of functionality. If you have a whole purse can't you just have individual tools you need?
To each their own, just my thoughts.
Hi Jon, is there a way of contacting you apart from comments on UA-cam? I have something you may be interested in.
FYI: The leatherman ratcheting bit driver is sold out for months.
Years, been trying to find one for 2+ now without paying 5-10x retail on ebay
It's been forever.
Leatherman is becoming more and more useless every day.
Testing the Volty on a Carbattery ... dangerous... If you short that battery, you got a hot tool in your hand.
how many LONG TERM - YEARS - out of stock LM accessories did you suggest?
Bit Kit #1? Out of stock for over 2 years. Bit set #2 was out of stock for over 2 years, then beame available about a year ago. It MAY be out of stock again. I haven't looked recently.

LM has become an expensive joke.
No mention of how some items (Ratchet Bit) are like rocking horse 💩 to get hold of 😔
Don't understand the need for the glass breaker bit. Philips bit would do the same job, all you need is a pointy thing.
Try using a Philips head screwdriver and a proper carbide glass breaker on safety glasses and you'll see if it makes a difference.
However I can't see the reviewed attachment being particularly useful in the real world. Still it's not much money.
I think link for volty is broken
I’ve just linked to there website. Try a basic google?
@get no you didn't, you put same link in Leatherman Molle Pouch and Volty
if you look theres a lanyard hoop already in the wave. its tucked away
That first "Kit" looks like a lunch box.
It does rather - a kids one!
You are right!
9:26 would be more viable as a scribe tbh
That looks like my kids lunch bag

A leatherman lunch bag...
Ah yes the Leatherman ratchet driver... anyone been able to get one less that $100 in the past year?
The LM pocket clip is brittle and absolutely trash. Do not rely on it to keep your LM close and safe.
