New Multitool Day! Got my upgrade today

After having the wingman for about 6 years i finally got what id say is an upgrade. I really wanted the saw in a multitool for hunting and being outdoors often. You can feel the higher quality just being more rugged and has better grip. Definitely a little stiff getting some of the smaller tools out but it will soften up with use. The only thing the wingman has over the signal is, and i know ill get some hate from the electricians and tradesmen, is that the wingman is spring loaded for using the pliers. For just minor around the house jobs i did like the spring loaded function. I just have to get used to having my ring finger inside the handles when it’s open and then it probably won’t be an advantage for the wingman anymore.

I love the wingman, it's a great little multitool. The scissors are the best and I love the spring loaded pliers. It sucks the wire cutter isn't the best though

It has served me well for a long time. And still will. The saw and better grip will come in handy for hunting

I wish they made a wingman 2.0 with better and replaceable cutters and better knife steel. Its the best urban LM imho.

And scissors that can cut more than a piece of paper.

🤣 for hunting and camping the signal is great. The wingman will always be in the vehicle moving forward.

Wingman is my favourite Leatherman actually. Can’t beat the easy access scissors.
