Handy gadget to expand the use of your Leatherman(tm) [Posted on 2000-02-01]
First, let me mention an important fact missing in the description.

The tool adaptor only works with the original Leatherman known as the PST(tm), the PST2(tm), the Sideclip(tm), the Supertool(tm), and the Flair(tm). It does not work with the WAVE(tm), Micra(tm),and Crunch(tm) which doesn't need it because it has the 1/4" drive holder built in.

The reason is that in order to fit the Leatherman tool the Tool Adaptor relies on a raised shoulder on the side of the handle on the pliers. Only the above mentioned Leatherman plier tools have this handle design. (SOG owners will just have to drool, as it doesn't fit.)

Now for all you owners of those Leatherman tools who have this design. This adaptor is great. It has a standard 1/4 drive head which holds any electric screwdriver head. There are inumerable heads that are available from hardware stores. You can now fix those tiny phillips screws, those torix head bolts, those robertson head screws, those allen head bolts. All with this adaptor. The best thing about using the adaptor vs the straight screw driver that comes with the Leatherman is the adaptor locks in place both up and down and side to side. No folding tools while you are levering away.

To use it, you open your pliers, slide the adaptor over the top, positioning the tab into the shoulder of the handle and close the pliers around the adaptor. Its now locked in place.

I recommend that you also buy the larger sheath that goes with your tool adaptor and the type of Leatherman(tm) pliers you have. If you can't find it here, look at the Leatherman(tm) home site. They don't sell the knives, just the sheaths. Being able to carry the pliers and this adaptor and a number of bits on your belt in one handy case is worth it.

This tool adaptor is a great addition for that tool person who already has a Leatherman.

A great, great tool, made even better... [Posted on 2000-02-15]
This is a wonderful tool. I picked up a leatherman tool just over eight months ago and just received the tool adaptor. It takes an already extremely practical tool and makes it even more so. The hex bit drivers are interchangeable with any of your favorite existing hex bits, and the carrying case snaps onto your belt alongside your other pocket tools. After getting the attachment, I am scouring local hardware stores for more great hex bits. Now if i could only find a great carrying case for all my bits...

Great Add on for Super Tool [Posted on 2002-03-27]
As a Desktop Support Tech I find myself tearing open PC's a lot. This attachment lets me keep my most essential screwdrivers and bits on my waist instead of me digging the right one up and bringing it back to the machine, or carrying the machine all the way back to my workbench and doing the job then bringing it back. I don't have time to do that so I like to do as much as I can at the users location. Well this lets me do that. My only complaint is that the bits are not magnetic so until I get some to carry with me I have to be careful about dropping screws. For those Techs out there still working on older Compaq systems the star driver comes with the attachment so you don't have to go hunting one down if you use this product. Well done Leatherman, well done.

Indispensable [Posted on 2007-05-04]
Can't live without this obligatory attachment! now this is a worthy investment that adds the ability to use 1/4" standard bits with your Leatherman tool. That added capability opens up the potential to use the huge array of widely available standard bits, which are also cheap to buy from any mechanical shop (it doesn't have to be Leatherman bits). This attachment is more essential than adding a small spoon or a cocktail fork to a pocket tool; this has some real world usefulness. I use it happily with my Leatherman Super Tool 200. If you have one of the older Leatherman tools then this accessory is very worthy of consideration.
