It will save you money, and it is easier to use. The only downside here is the combo knife, and other than that, you’re pretty much sorted.
When you dig into the numbers, it might surprise you to learn that the most-carried multi-tool in our community by a large margin came out twenty years ago. Despite its age, the Leatherman Wave has yet to be dethroned as an essential EDC crowd favorite. After we played around with it for a bit we realized just how groundbreaking the Leatherman Free P4 really is. Our review will help you understand how the Free P4’s upgrades affect its functionality and whether it’s worth it to upgrade your own EDC multi tool. With that said, owners have also complained about the combo blade on the P2. A combo blade is never a good idea, and you will struggle to get the desired precision with this setup. Finally, let’s talk magnets. Leatherman’s team worked extensively to ensure the safety of the magnets, with respect to pacemakers or unexpected “attractions.” In short, the team said they dialed in the magnets to be just powerful enough to execute the tool’s needs alone, and not strong enough to interfere with the world around it. The best answer is maybe. We love the advances Leatherman made with the Free series but overall the actual tools remain the same.We’re big fans of substantial scissors on a multi tool and the Free P4 doesn’t disappoint here either. It provides a large pair of spring action scissors that showcase the same epic haptics Leatherman is so proud of. Replacement Parts– As with all their products Leatherman covers the Free P4 with their 25 year limited warranty. They’re well known for the commitment they show to the quality of their products and to customer satisfaction. If you have any problems with your Free make sure you send it in. Leatherman will take care of you. Fortunately, you won't have to worry about prematurely wearing out the springs in the pliers from deploying them 24/7. Instead of the usual steel springs, which take up lots of space and wear out or corrode over time, the FREE features entirely new non-metallic elastomer springs. As a result, break-in is a thing of the past. The P2's pliers deploy smoothly and consistently right out of the box, indefinitely. Leatherman tested this themselves, simulating deploying the pliers over and over again and comparing it to a brand-new FREE. After being unable to wear out the springs after deploying the pliers literally a million times, they concluded the test. Every other full-size Leatherman has a ruler stamped into the body, but the Free has a very short, useless ruler printed on a bit. But wait, the Free has the same type of edge that the Wave/Charge have it stamped on. Won’t a printed rule rub off but a stamped one won’t? Just more proof of hipster status here. The printed on rule is more noticeable even though it’s almost useless. It’s well built, highly advanced, and has the latest features in multi tool technology. Just about anyone can benefit from owning a Free P4. The exception to this is someone who frequently works around metal dust or small debris. If you’re a machinist or someone who works with ferrous materials it can be extremely difficult to clean them off the magnetic closure of the Free P4.
Leatherman is well known for the quality and durability of their individual tools. Our experience with the Free P4 has shown that they’ve kept this dedication to quality while upgrading the overall experience.While Leatherman’s Advance Development Team spent years reengineering the FREE, including big investments into automotive-grade machining processes, two key construction differences will stand out for the common user (like myself): magnets and an elastomer spring. BRANDON M FISHER · May 5, 2020 I can't stand hearing the word "hipster". I'm 40 and still don't know what it really means LoL 😁
