Great Leatherman [Posted on 2008-01-23]
I work with weapons in the army, and so far this is a great letherman for small parts, it can take a lot of damage but not as much as a gerber, but i still like my leatherman because its smaller and it has what i need to do my job, for example it has a longer flat head, the gerber's is to short, over all its worth buying.
Great multi-tool! I'd redesign a couple things though [Posted on 2008-03-20]
I'm writing this in Iraq, where the Leatherman Fuse may not have saved my life, but it has saved me tons of time and frustration. Not everyone can lug around a tool box, and trying to get specific tools over here is a pain (or a rip off). I purchased my Fuse at a surplus shop before deploying and paid considerably more... but it did come with the nylon sheath which I prefer to the leather one.
The screw drivers helped me fix my bike, the stamped in ruler helps me measure 550 cord and the scissors help me cut it. I keep it on my belt, and on the rare occasions I get a care package, it helps me open it. :-)
Design thoughts: It's small and lightweight-just the bare-bones. If I was to redesign it, I'd have put a hole through the joint and gotten rid of the lanyard ring (who hangs a leatherman on a lanyard anyway?) to free up space for a saw or something else (there is already a bit of a gap there). It would have also been nice if one of the screwdrivers had a file on it, adding an extra feature without taking up more space.
Oooo! Ahh! [Posted on 2008-04-24]
A neighbor's son is a US Marine and requested a Leatherman for his upcoming second tour in Iraq. He stipulated it should be inexpensive as well. I ordered two Fuses, one for him and one for me, on the reccommendation of a previous review by a US Army sargeant.
I can understand why these tools are so beloved. I've only had this little device for a few days but I REALLY like it. It folds to a compact size, is reasonably durable, and has a huge number of tools contained within its frame. Its essentially a tool box on my belt. It has a place with my wallet, eye glasses, and keys.
#1 upside: I have large hands and the handle is just right for me. The grips are perfect as well, non slip without being sticky. Definitely engineered in America for Americans.
#1 downside: Sometimes you need to manuever around the wire cutters in the jaws of the pliers to grip a bolt. To me, it was a bit tricky at first, but that should be the worst thing about this fantastic little device.
Good Tool - "el cheapo" Sheath [Posted on 2008-09-05]
Good Tool for lighter work; needs a diamond file with groove like the PST II had. Sheath is another story; Customer Service from Leatherman Tool Group seems not to care much about the "el cheapo" sheath - just the "way it is" when contacted about it.

I like the locking components. I've had cheaper tools that didn't lock & had some close calls when the knife or saw/file collapsed.
