The Leatherman Free T4 is a multitool with the size of a Swiss Army Knife and the novelty that it uses magnets to keep all its tools in its casing. Is it as good as the legendary Leatherman multitool? Well... I am not convinced... Watch the video!

Dude, I love your gear reviews! Absolutely the best I’ve seen. Keep up the good work brother.
Wihaaaaaa! ;-)))))))) Thanks mate! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Gijs
just clicked on your channel for the first time, 10 seconds in i love the background! Awesome set style!
Thank you! Please subscribe and like ;-)
Very good review Thijs. Especially regarding the subject of the magents instead of using springs. It means you have intensively tested this tool with your knowledge. Greatly done!
Dear Mr Jackman, I do my best and had it in my pocket for about two months for daily use. And reviewing is not done behind a desk ;-). Enjoy the outdoors! Gijs
One of the best knife reviews i've ever seen. Thanks and suscribed
Thorough and honest review! Thank you!
Thank you Anja! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Very nicely done.
Thank you dear. This was one of the best reviews. Thanks again for your efforts.
You are welcome ;-). Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
I’ve had no problem opening my free T4 blade with one hand..
Interesting points, thank you. I bought a T2 since I never met a job for scissors that a knife couldn't do "ok" at. My biggest complaint so far is how difficult it is to open one hand, even after paying extra for the pocket clip. I suppose I can buy the aftermarket thumb insert but it's a shame to have to do that. I am trying to "force wearing in" by opening and closing it hundreds of times a day.
The rest of the T2 is great, especially the package opener. I use that a ton and it saves wear on my knife blade too.
Hi Solocanoe, Agree: the package opener is a blade safer! And I agree on the difficult one hand operation.... Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
I lost the use of my left hand years ago and the one hand operation is awesome with my one good hand
Hi, I would like to buy a Swiss knife and had looked into this product, hence watched your review. Kindly suggest your best opined product at similar price range. Thanks.
What do you want to use it for? The T4 is fine as a Swiss Army knife but just keep it clean when using file. Or take an other Leatherman and just a knife.
Excellent Review! Thanks
Hi David, You are most welcome 😄. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thanks for the video
Got a blue one
Excelente video. Me pareció la crítica más real de la Leatherman free t4. El simple hecho de afilar la hoja llenaría de restos de metal en los imanes, por lo que no puede usarse para procesar alimentos. No conocía tu canal, y me gustó como analizas la herramienta. Hoy tenés un nuevo suscriptor. Saludos desde Tucumán - Argentina.
Hi Rcardo, Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras y por compartir sus pensamientos sobre Leatherman. Y gracias por suscribirte. ¡Disfruta del aire libre y mantente a salvo! Saludos Gijs (Yes, I used Google Translate 😉.)
Nice video. Like the style
Dear Anthony, Thank you ;-) Gijs
Yes...very pleasing review style and background.
It's a good review but people always go too far in their reviews... why would you file down a big ass piece of metal with you pocket knife while being in your shed/garage when you got the right tool for it ? A pocket knife is something you use when you're not home with all you tools... people prying with the blade on something amd the they break it and then they say the tool is not good... a blade is not for prying(example)
And yes you can use it one hand only. People don't know how to use period. I'm opening Buck knives without thumbstuds with one hand.. people complain nothing.
Of course this is your personal review and i respect that but, it's not everyone's opinion and like i said.. there's a proper way to use multitools/pocket knives/knives...
Hi Grominator, Thanks for the comment and that you liked the video. I try hard to make good reviews. One thing I would like to explain is the comment on the filking. 'People always go too far', well that is a bit like 'people always drive to fast'. Just not true but... You mean that I go too far. No problem but let me explain the why. I do this in my shed because outside it was raining so hard I could not do it. I've use the T4 a lot outdoors before shooting the video and it started with filing a point to a flattened out nail to make a spearpoint. I discovered that the small metal parts sticked to the T4 and that is just not right. No other reviewer before me talked about this topic so yes, I go a bit further. In my shed I just tried to demonstrate something I could not shoot outdoors at that time. And no: blades are not for prying; that is why the T4 has a prying tool so we agree on that ;-). I hope you understand why I did what I did. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe, Cheers Gijs
Very detailed
Thanks Jonas 😄. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
"This is like really good quality cardboard!"...lmao 🤣! I'm still thinking ill get one, I got the Gerber lockdown pry-tool. Which is alright, except for the most important thing!, which would be an accessible knife. Same problem, I had to dremel some gouges into the ridiculous "notch"!!, we're somehow meant to get a decisive grip on! I'm thinking about drilling the blade and then putting a thread in it for a nice, screw in ,notched piece, like u showed at the start 🤔. Bloody Leatherman! How these magnetic differences can increase sales, well hell, id be doing the same!! Magnets hit people in the subconscious as magic, marketing 101 right there! And I'm on board! Can't argue with the price!! And a concave blade, perfect for me! Thanks m8, top notch review 👌! Im subscribed!..., and You have my details if anything other worldly comes up!! Lol One love brother
Thanks Phill, I like Leatherman and it's a good tool that only has its flaws.... Wondering how you are going to dril the blade 🙃. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
If you just hold the. Knife in one hand and open the knife with the thumb of the hand holding it the grove to open the blade works wonderfully
Hi Travis, Sorry to read you lost the use of your left hand and yes, one hand operation of the T4 is possible but for me it not as comfy as some other knives that I own with a notch on the blade. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Ok, subscribed! I'm a Leatherman lover so let's all agree it's beautiful!...but does the magnets make it the smoothest action in this range of ...tools 🔧!? Here we go...(:
Thanks! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
The intro got me.
Sweet! Thanks Pol. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Did you keep yours?
Hi Patriot,
I still have it since I always bring stuff back to the people who loan it to me and I did not meet up with the Dutch distributer because of Covid. But... it's time to make an appointment because I know that they are doing some new things that are interesting for me to review. I miss the contact on a person basis in these times... Cheers, Gijs
Well I found your review to actually be a useful one. Some of the ones I've seen just didn't give any real information in my opinion. I feel the use of magnets to be an example of innovation and find your con for them a bit nit picky. I have spring locking pocket knives and multi-tools that pick up all kinds of debris when I'm using them and its really nothing to clean them off when done with the work I'm doing. I feel you were a bit harsh calling their magnet idea stupid. To each their own though. The one thing about weatherman I definitely like is their warranty. Again great review sir.
I have one and really, its harder to clean debris bec of the magnet. But i can live with it
Dear John, Yes, I was a bit nit picky about it. I like the magnet idea but don't put a file in the tool then. To me it works a bit like. a red flag on a bull (is that English?) Also because the file is small and not that useable. I had rather see a different tool. But... I like Leatherman don';t be mistaken about that. I use one almost every day. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Gijs
Subscribed….and bought this knife.
Thanks for the sub Lyle! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thank you.
You're welcome! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Make sure the sound of your voice is turned up... I have to turn up my speakers really high and then the music is ridiculously loud. Great review though, thank you.
Hi Evan, You mean the music of the intro? I turned it down in my last video because somehow it was turned on pretty hi in the edit indeed. Thanks for the compliment! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe. Gijs
Yes exactly the music in the intro. Your voice was so quiet after the music finished, so I had to turn up the volume. It’s a simple fix just make sure to “normalize” the volume of your voice in whatever editing software you are using. Or alternatively, turn up the gain on your microphone to get a higher signal. Look at the metering of the audio on the master track throughout your video and make sure it’s relatively consistent throughout. I think your set is beautiful and I really enjoyed your approach... just want that audio to match.
Here’s an excellent article:

@@et4able You are helpful! Thanks. Is this one better? ua-cam.com/video/LSRZeKw1Sl8/v-deo.html
0:09 LOL omg i like that 🪧
😀Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Excellent multitool
Hi Smith, Thanks for the nice comment! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
I've got to say I actually think it's pretty middle-of-the-road on looks, it's not ugly but it's definitely not good looking in my eyes. I feel like everytime leatherman tries to introduce 'style' into their tools it's a massive miss; the PST is a thing of beauty because it's so utilitarian and pure in its purpose looking.
Ja leuk hoor 🎉
Dankjewel BRJ 👍. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
This guy looks like the Polish scientist from the Tick on Amazon Prime.
The blue guy? If it makes you laugh and stay happy, you're welcome ;-)
Great review, but your music session is too loud, and the talking session is too quiet.
Hi, Yes, made a mistake there. Sorry ☹. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Net je kanaal gevonden! Erg jammer dat alles hier in Nederland zo ontzettend duur moet zijn, in vergelijking met Amerikaanse prijzen. Zou het graag willen. Maar niet met deze prijzen. 😊
Nieuw sub en volger op IG! 👌
Hoi Anita, Ik snap wat je zegt maar ik snap ook dat dingen uit Amerika hier duurder zijn, zit natuurlijk wel wat transport kosten bij. Overigens is niet alles uit Amerika hier duurder hoor. Er worden ook een hoop 'Amerikaanse' dingen gewoon in China geproduceerd. Leuk dat je me gevonden hebt ;-) Groet, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews ja er word veel zogenaamde Amerikaans spul in China geproduceerd. Niks op tegen, zit prima spul tussen! Ook in mijn verzameling. 😊
Lovely carvings you do 😘
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews dank je wel! 🤗
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews heb intussen een grimson red onderweg. Via via en scheelt een hoop geld. Heb ook de P4 in mijn bezit sinds een week. En ik vind het een geweldig ding!
I recognize that accent uit duizenden
Mooi zo! 🙏. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
So basically, don't drag your multi-tool through the dirt. Okay.
Hi Jim, No: don't use the metal file for what it is supposed to do ;-). Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩💓💓
They should have replaced the file with another tool. A metal file and magnets are a bad combination. 🧲
Agree!
