Everything you need! : Leatherman’s new knife “FREE P4” review

Shieldon EDC Knives market information Collection, Shieldon

It seems to be a reliable companion in various scenes.

 

Leatherman was born in Oregon in 1983. They are a factory that specializes in multi-tools, such as the butterfly knife type functional knife, and recently they are planning a new model and a number of subsequent series. Adam Clark Estes of Shieldon, who is a loyal user from 16 years old, reviewed the impressions he actually used.

 

I remember when the first Leatherman I bought was unusually clear. At the time he was 16 and had no money, he still had an amazing passion for trekking in the Great Smoky Mountains, where his family lived.

 

Around that time, Leatherman announced a new multi-tool called “WAVE”. What is cool is that it can be opened with one hand (some people). If you can use that trick, you might be able to put it in front of your climbing companions who devour nutritional foods. I thought. So save some pocket money by washing the dishes and get second-hand goods on ebay from the dial-up connection.

 

I’ve been using it for over 10 years since then, but I never could open it well with one hand.

 

LEATHERMAN FREE P4

Shieldon EDC Knives market information Collection, Shieldon

What is this? : Stylish multi-tool

 

Price: about $153

 

Favorite place: Easy to open and fun to use

 

What I don’t like: High-priced, high-performance pliers

 

A slogan

Finally, Leatherman has released a completely redesigned model “FREE P4”. The factory sent me one for review, which is a “revolutionary magnetic force structure” where a “whole new spring” brings a “great feel” and “among other things ever made”. It is said to be the most advanced multi-tool.

 

Without worrying about promotional jargon, I challenged my old dream of “one-handed opening action” … and for the first time (with one hand), a shocking level of grace and simplicity. I was able to remove the tool from the grip.

 

The usability is the best

After trying this knife for a few weeks, I’ve come to recognize that the $ 140 Leatherman FREE P4 is an amazing gadget.

 

When I opened this multi-tool with “one hand”, the slogan about magnets quickly fell into my head. It opens and the pliers appear, and then clicks to close and fit. In fact, all tools open and close like that. Both the knife and the saw are locked when they are fully opened. Even a Phillips screwdriver, which has a small side and is a cute ruler, makes a clicking sound when opened.

 

The “great feel” feels too exaggerated, but the simple experience of pulling out a multi-tool with FREE P4 is surprisingly satisfying.

 

Differences from other models

What’s amazing is that the FREE P4 can be used with all tools except pliers with the grip folded. But that was something that early Leatherman couldn’t do.

 

In the original WAVE, all the tools could not be put out unless the grip was turned over and the pliers were opened, so it was often operated with both hands. After that, Leatherman creates a model called “OHT” (one-hand-operable) that can be handled with one hand. This meant that the pliers would slide out of the closed position, allowing other tools to open and close from the outside.

 

Subsequent models, “WAVE +” and “SIGNAL,” have a design that is about halfway between the knife and saw from the outside, and the small tools after opening the pliers.

 

Movement to take out large and small tools

The name “FREE” implies that you have easy access to all 21 tools. The four large tools that open from the outside are a straight-edged knife, a wave-edged knife, a saw, and scissors with a grip that opens with your thumb. Small tools include can openers, awls, and screwdrivers. They can be popped up by pushing the protrusion near the hinge of the grip with your thumb. I understand the designer’s intentions, but the protrusion system can be annoying in another sense.

 

Early Leatherman and pocket knives hooked their nails to pull out the tool. The design of the protrusions is different, but you still need to custom small movements to get the tool out of place.

The comfort of the lock mechanism is the highest ever

This isn’t completely intuitive, but all tools lock when fully opened. This is more secure than WAVE +. FREE P4 has a lever that works with the tool to fix the open tool. Slide the lever toward the center to unlock it. However, the lever is a bit exaggerated, and it seems that a small metal knob actually moves when pushed.

 

In any case, I prefer this type to the WAVE + button lock. With WAVE +, you press the button between the knife and the storage area to unlock it, but that’s where you don’t want to put your finger in (the knife blade passes!).

 

With that in mind, FREE P4’s design improvements are pretty handy when using small tools. With FREE P4, the tool pops out when you slide your finger, and you can easily find the tool, insert your fingernail into the hook, and pull it out. What’s more, WAVE + has a small tool with an independent lock that pushes a separate button from the outside of the grip, which took some getting used to. Besides, if you press the wrong release button, you could cut your finger in a hurry … just like I did.

Became an indispensable companion

What makes FREE P4 so happy is that it’s easy to use overall, so I wanted to use more multi-tools. It’s kind of weird to explain this, but … even if I had a multi-tool, I gave priority to using a special tool, such as using a Phillips screwdriver if I had one. But FREE P4 now feels hesitant to use less convenient tools.

 

Friends appear one after another in the “FREE” series

There is no doubt that Leatherman multi-tool has brought many tool experiences in the past. In short, that makes Leatherman more than just Leatherman. The FREE P4 will wholesale for $ 140, but it seems something special. And it’s part of a new family of multi-tools created by Leatherman.

 

Apart from the P4, which has 21 types of tools, the “FREE P2”, which combines two types of knives into one and has 19 types of functions without sawing, was released together. Leatherman will also add a Swiss Army knife-shaped “FREE T” series. Furthermore, the “FREE K” series, which is similar to the old pocket knife, is about to be released. The “FREE” series breaks new ground in Leatherman design.

 

Think about the future when you are young

I’m not a heavy user of Leatherman every day, but I’ve been a longtime enthusiast. Picking up the FREE P4 through several multi-tools reminds me of the moment when a new world opened when I switched from Swiss Army Knife to Leatherman many years ago.

 

Except now, you will be less likely to get injured yourself (due to operational mistakes) and have more opportunities to solve problems in the city or in the woods. Perhaps it means that it will grow.
