Advice needed from the YD gurus, please
Hi All

I am looking to get a "Leatherman" style tool to carry in my wetnotes and have had a look at this.



Has anyone used one of these? How stainless is it? Any other makes to consider?

TIA
Mal

Just a thought - how useful are all those little blades going to be when you're trying to open them with gloves on?

Nice to see Mal, the Leatherman is the factory approved boris toolkit so I take it this means you're coming over to the no bubbles side

Very good point.

The pic is a gerber, I have the exact same tool. I dropped it into a rib and it got covered in salt water once, but I forgot about it for a week or so, when I cecked it was covered in surface rust, especially around the 'hinges'. It cleaned off easily enough, but they aren't cheap and I don't think they will stand up to sustained/prolonged exposure to salt water.

Even on the titanium ones, I suspect the pins and/or the springs are actually steel.

I have one and carried it for years in my former life It got drenched lots of times but not by seawater, i would be too worried about ruining it to take it u/w.

Have you asked Gerber?

Thanks for the advice....it was less for underwater whittling that I had it in mind....more for the endless surface fettling that's required, coupled with some underwater ability e.g. the pliers ... anything else that's usable underwater would be a bonus.

I got one wet on salt water = it did get a loverly covering of rust. I sent it back to the factory and they cleaned and greased it for me, then sent it back with a bollocking telling me not to do it again

Great bit of kit!

Mal,

Have got the earlier version, and the only tool that has got a sign of rust on it is the file, the blades etc have up til now remained rust free though after every use I give it a liberal spray of WD40.


Regards

StevieH
