4.0 out of 5 stars Great Addition to the Leatherman Line, November 14, 2006

By	William J. Bennett (Ft. Bragg, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath (Tools & Hardware)

I am a paratrooper in the United States Army and I use a multi-tool every day. I have been issued tools from Leatherman, Gerber and SOG and all have their good points as well as bad.

The SOG rusted quite easily after being exposed to perspiration in Afghanistan. It was also not easy to expose the blades in the handle.

Gerbers worked well, but the screwdrivers were not beveled well. Also the bottle opener was so short that it was difficult to open a cold Sam Adams.

This assortment of bits works extremely well. I have never been a fan of leatherman multi-tools because of some poor design flaws in the early leatherman models. Specifically the original Leatherman tool was pretty hard on your hand when using the pliers. The "blades" were on the outside when the pliers were in the open position. If you ever had one, you know what I mean.

Leatherman corrected that with the Wave series by contouring the handles, but the bevel on the screwdriver (flat head) left much to be desired.

I used several Gerber models and was pretty satisfied with them (except for the LEDEND model.....no can opener) Gerbers also will pinch you if you are not careful when using the pliers.

The Victorinox Swisstool is built well, and with MINIMAL care will never rust. The blades are sharp and their placement is well thought out. It has rounded edges in all the right places and as such is comfortable in your hand. It will never pinch you when using the pliers.

I got a Leatherman XT-i as a gift and found it to be well made and comfortable to use. With the addition of this bit kit it should be even more functional. The bits seem to be well made and durable. I still find myself carrying my swisstool more often than the Leatherman, but that is out of 6 years of habit. I'm not ready to retire the Swisstool, but I will give the leatherman a chance.

I also put the bits I thought I would use the most on one card and carry that in the belt sheath that the XT-i came in. That seems to work well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to my Leatherman New Wave - useful and compact., March 7, 2006

By	T. Hassler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath (Tools & Hardware)

I'm quite a fan of the modified Leatherman bits. They have come in handy more often than I thought they might. In fact, just the other day I found myself changing a taillight (in the freezing cold) on the truck with these.

The kit isn't cheap, but you are paying for the formfactor and convenience. There is another Wave add-on which allows you to use standard driver bits, but it's quite a bit larger than this system.

To start, they've shaved off about 2/5ths to 1/2 of the thickness of a standard bit. This allows them to configure a driver slot in with other tools without taking up the entire Multitool handle for a screwdriver. This kit comes with a nice nylon sheath, but I've found that to be a little too much for me personally. The configuration contains 2 hard plastic holsters for all of the bits. They even include a spare eyeglass driver.

I've changed up my every day carry to include the most commonly used bits on one of the two plastic "cards". I put this 1 card into the back pocket of my New Wave nylon sheath (I've heard of others doing this on their leather sheath, but I don't think there's enough room, personally.

So I don't really use the included sheath with both toolbit cards in it. I just move them around until I get the desired mix and carry one card with my Wave in one sheath. A very nice way to do it, and Leatherman obviously had this in mind when making the cards.

The only real detractor is that the sheath that comes with these isn't really fitted perfectly, but after some use, it probably would be better. I just didn't give it a chance.

The cost is a little high, but the steel is very high quality and I haven't noticed any stripping or spinning out yet. I wish it was cheaper, but this means I don't have to carry a large and heavy pack of bits and I'm willing to pay for that convenience.

5.0 out of 5 stars great accessory, January 25, 2005

By	J. Gellman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath (Tools & Hardware)

The first reviewers complaint is like saying cd's suck because you have a turntable! He can actually get an accessory to attach to his "old" Wave to use these bits.

This kit replaces the screwdriver style bit driver and hex insert set I used to carry in my kit. Knowing I got it all there is great. I only wish they would sell replacements piece by piece in case of loss or damage.
