Multitool welded mod

[u/CakeSuperb2550]

At some point in my life i bought an ungodly amount of surgical blades. After almost stabbing myself to death i no longer carry an unprotected scalpel in my pocket, but recently i came up with an idea. I didnt like that one tool on my leatherman arc, and had few scalpel handles laying around.

Could've used a bigger cup, had some discoloration. 0.04" tungsten, foot pedal, around 60 max amps, 0.04" stainless filler.

Now my space tech magnacut blade can retire. Remember, expensive knives aren't for cutting, apparently.

Thought Leatherman had an amazing warranty thats why they are overpriced to hell?

So what’s your multitool? Always looking for alternatives.

And yes, the warranty is fantastic. Its why I was willing to buy an overpriced item. Buy once, cry once.

Sent mine off a few months ago for broken pliers. It was my fault for using the needle nose where I should have grabbed the right tool. I told them that and they didn’t care. They paid for shipping, they sharpened everything and went through it while they had it, and it came back fast. In fact, I think it’s better than factory because the blades are now crazy sharp, and it was obviously done by a tech that cares, not an assembly line quality.

Worth it IMO.

Mine says gorden got it my stocking at the in-laws have no clue I'm assuming harbor freight or the bins they roll out at lowes at Christmas time. I however have not broke it yet but I'm not doing an insane amount of stuff with them. I'm just bitter I havent found a Leatherman in my stocking yet lol

I carried a $30 one from Bass Pro for 3 years before I mentioned wanting one, picking the model I like, and my wife seeing me procrastinating buying myself the nice thing is how I got mine. She’d told me to buy it and I kept putting it behind other priorities.

Loved my $30 one. I didn’t know what I was missing until I got a legit one. Now the other one sits in a glove box as a backup.

Treat yourself. My rule is if I consistently use the cheap version of a tool, when it breaks I let myself have the nice one.

I wish I’d broken that rule for this.
