Customer Reviews:

it's a good buy at $33 [Posted on 2008-03-05]
I wanted to buy one when it first came out, at full price. When the price dropped to ca $33 I bought one. I like the brand and their line of multitools. This is a great tool with one exception. The bypass pruner is not as robust as the new Genus model. With a hard to cut branch I found that the cutting blade twisted out of line and would not allow a cut. I guess this is the reason they decided to cut the price and clear them out. The new Genus looks to have a more robust cutting blade and probably won't twist out of line like this model. The other tools are just great and I would recommend this as an accessory tool and not your main pruner.

Garden clippers [Posted on 2008-03-27]
I enjoy having this all in one tool when doing my weekly gardening tasks. The saw can cut a 1" limb. The weed fork wacks those weeds off at the root. My only minus would be that the shears lock will slip back into lock sometimes. Keep it oiled and this tool works well. It's great to have the holster, it keeps it at my side after each use, ready to go!

Great tool to have in the garden! [Posted on 2008-04-05]
The Leatherman Hybrid Gardening Multitool is one amazing tool! The shears are sharp and lock into place to allow the tool to be folded up. The multitools all work very well. The only two complaints with this tool are 1) The weeder does not lock into place, which means it will fold under while trying to use it. Not good for stubborn large weeds (No snide comments about why I allow my weeds to get so large! Everyone gets them... at least I tell myself that.) 2) You cannot open the side tools with gloves on. Maybe with latex gloves, but anything with any thickness and you'll have to take the glove off to be able to open the side tools.

Overall, I really think this is a great product. Those complaints are minor and I highly recommend this product!

uncomfortable hand grips [Posted on 2008-04-05]
I found the tool heavier than anticipated. The largest drawback for me was the lack of a cushioned handgrip. I returned the product.

Great little, yellow, power house.  [Posted on 2008-04-27]
When I first received my Leatherman I was not sure how well it would perform. It is smaller than any other tree lopper that I have used before. I would classify it as a small hand lopper. It is small enough to comfortably place in a tool belt or attach to your belt using the included belt carrier. It seems to work on branches up to 1/2" as long as you know how to use them correctly. If you don't know what you are doing any tree lopper will bind and not give a clean cut. The hardest wood it was used on is an Ash tree that needed some pruning of low branches. The 1/2" inch diameter branches where the most I could easily cut on the ash. Very sharp and very clean cutting. It works great for the more fine to medium trimming of tree branches, shrubs and rose bushes. It also works great for trimming in places where the larger 24" or 36 " tree loppers are a little ackward and tough to menuver between branches. My opinion is a great addition for the finer trimming and for the average home gardener. But if you work with trees, hardwoods especially like oak, walnut, etc., and need to lop off 1/2" or larger branches you will either need a saw or the Leatherman's big brother, lopper (24" or 36"). Now you say there is a saw included...well have you ever tried to cut a branch with a 3" saw that has two movable handles?
