5.0 out of 5 starsSo Easy to Operate
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2024
Before this P4 model, I purchased the Leatherman Rebar. That is a very nice tool and I appreciate the toolset and form factor, but I could hardly get it closed even after trying out all of the suggested break in methods. Sadly, I had to return it, which was quite disappointing as I really liked it. Enter the Leatherman Free P4. A joy to use right out of the box, my aging hands and joints are rejoicing in this tool vs. the Rebar. It is hefty and bigger than the Rebar; but not so much as to be unwieldly. The can opener leaves a little to be desired as does the file, however, the rest of the tool is on point and there's an adapter that can be purchased separately that can be attached to the Phillips so as to use standard hex bits. Also, there are two small plastic pieces
that guard the magnetsand I am not sure plastic is the best idea in a tool, but I am no engineer. So far, so good. For my light to medium duty tasks, this P4 should fit the bill. I heard that Leatherman is discontinuing this model so snatch one up while you can.
