LM Multitool Signal bk&sr | 832265

Grt multi tool with extras. Very pricey though

Lo recomendaria un 90% la calidad de los materiales es excelente el peso es muy comodo hasta para traerlo en la bolsa de los jeans 👍👍 lo unico que no me gusto fue que para usar el desarmador no se puede cerrar porque estorba el martillo y que no tiene iman para sostener las puntas hexagonales de cualquier marca que venden de ahí en fuera está perfecto 👌

This is a great bit of kit for what I bought it for: a backup survival tool. I’m primarily a solo hiker and paddler who favours areas where I’m not going to see other people, so I can’t rely on others for gear redundancy. It won’t replace a proper knife, saw, whistle, steel, fire starter, etc., for back-country camping. But if any of those things fail or get lost, it gives you options that are good enough to get you home safely. It’s equally convenient if you’re doing a day hike in a remote location, or as something that can go in a paddling jacket and save your hide if you take an unplanned swim and get separated from your boat in a wilderness context. It has everything you would need to get a lean-to shelter and a campfire going in boreal forest. It would probably be equally handy as part of a glove compartment emergency kit for people who drive remote routes on an occasional basis. Of the various tools the whistle is probably the only nearly useless one as it’s too small to get much volume. It could help someone who already had your GPS coordinates find you if you’re close but out of the line of sight, but it won’t carry any distance if there’s wind or moving water around. The hammer is probably the most unique element and is quite useful. While you’re not exactly going to build a house with it, I’ve never carried a hammer of any type in my hiking or paddling kit, and it’s perfect for light jobs like driving tent pegs, cracking nuts, etc. I’d like to see it offered in a much brighter colour. Leatherman tends to use macho black or stainless steel by default, but for outdoor equipment something that will stand out against dull backgrounds is much better. The tiny yellow highlights don’t do much for that. Build quality is just ok for the price. Lightness was prioritized and it shows. Action isn’t butter-smooth and I wouldn’t use it as a pry tool. On the plus side, it’s held together with torx bolts, not rivets, so presumably all components are replaceable. Unlike some reviewers I had zero issues extending any tool — much smoother action than the average Swiss Army knife. Again, it’s fine for what I bought it for, but don’t expect it to push much out of your hiking pack.

Excelente multifunção, robusto e bem acabado

Top Werkzeug für Jedermann.

I purchased the Signal for EDC. I love my Leatherman Surge, but find myself debating whether or not to put it in my pocket before walking out the door. It is just too darn heavy. First impressions of the Signal: The Signal is nearly identical in length and width to the Surge. It is somewhat thinner and much lighter. The lock works with a snappy, positive action and must be used to keep the tool closed if carried by the carabiner. Overall fit an finish looks excellent as I have come to expect from Leatherman. Outside: The handle has an indentation for the pocket clip which is well designed and works perfectly. Carabiner / bottle opener and box wrenches have a nice matte finish and look well suited for their tasks. The sharpener is well secured and while it is small would be fine to dress an edge in the field. It is obviously designed as an emergency tool and reviewers that complain about it simply have the wrong expectations. That said, I'd like to see it with an aluminum handle instead of plastic and it could have been made 1/4" longer. The ferrocerium rod is also obviously designed as an emergency tool. It is similar in size to ones I have had glued into magnesium firestartarters and won't take a lot of use or abuse but will certainly work when needed. I'd like to note that it is very cleverly designed so that if you had a separate striking tool, it would work perfectly while still attached to the Signal. The partly serrated blade opens easily with one hand and locks into place without any play. I am a big fan of partly serrated blades for EDC and this one seems just about right. The blade is very sharp and quite sturdy. The saw is classic Leatherman, being well designed and very sharp. It too locks into place without any play. Inside: The pliers open smoothly and have no play in the joint or handles. The jaws line up perfectly. I love the replaceable wire cutters which look identical to the ones on the Surge. There also appears to be electrical crimper below the joint which is not mentioned by Leatherman as one of the tools. I'd guess this is because someone would say "Who needs an electrical crimper in the woods?" The ferrocerium rod / whistle is is well secure but easy to get out. The whistle is, well, better than none. As I said about the sharpener handle, I'd like to see this in aluminum too. The awl is very sturdy and the knife will close and lock with it extended. While the bit driver and can / bottle openers are also very sturdy, the tool will not fully close and lock because of the hammer. While this may seem strange I am not sure if it will really cause a problem when you actually go to use the tools.The Signal will open in a nearly linear fashion which makes is really easy to use it with either 1 or two hands. Missing: Scissors & Tweezers! Summary: I like this tool and while I don't expect to be using the ferrocerium rod / whistle and sharpener on a regular basis, it is good to know that they are there if my truck ever goes off the road and careening down a cliff in the winter time. I would have liked to see scissors and tweezers but since I carry a Style PS on my keychain it is not a deal breaker. I bought this because it has all of the tools I use regularly plus a hammer and is much lighter than my Surge (which is now going into my truck center console with my bit kit and assorted saw blades). By the way, a lot of reviewers wonder about the awl and what it is good for beside punching holes in leather. How about punching holes in nearly anything? I have used mine scores of time to start screw holes. It lets you start the screw by hand. You never get frustrated by trying to start it by pressing down too hard with the screwdriver and having it pop out.
