They would probably cost at least double as much, because they’d probably have to have physical labor added that isn’t already in their cost of production. Economies of scale, etc.
A suggestion... I came up with the idea to align everything by using a small piece of string. (Like a single strand of paracord core.) Thread everything onto the string such as, scale, liner, washer, blade, washer liner, scale. Pull both ends of the string to align all the pieces in between the scales. I do this every time I take my bugout apart for cleaning. Pop out pivot, replace with string, clean, reassemble, use string to line everything up, pop pin back in. BONUS: You literally can't drop/lose the tiny washers if you tie the string ends together.
I've actually said before that Leatherman should simply let you customize your multi tool how you want. One person said that it wouldn't be possible to have every tool combo due to the different sizes and shapes. So because they couldn't have EVERY possible combination, it's not worth doing. I very much disagree with that. I think it's better to have a lot of customization options, instead of none.
@@excat I literally argued with the video production company about that line!😅 they assured me it was the best way to phrase it for the masses. Handles and most the tools are 17-4 PH, blade is 440c. Upgrade options down the line for S30V. 🤙 Hope the marketing lingo didn't put you off too much!
I had the wave and sold it for a P2! AND I love it for my style of edc! I actually purchased this insert along with the new leatherman ratchet! It’s going to be $ for my edc!
I did this mod to my p2 a few months back (the leatherman bit one) and have been loving it. I work in the IT field, so the p2 is damn near perfect for me now with that mod, leatherman bit-kit, and the new ratchet! The combo blade is a non issue for me since I usually have my benchmade 940 with me. Great vid, sir.
I don't get the need for a Leatherman to have changeable bits. The point of a multitool is to have the most commonly needed tools, most of the time. If I'm carrying more than the leatherman itself, as in, extra bits, then I might as well also carry a small ratchet or driver. If I need anything other than a flathead of phillips then it's not a job for the leatherman anyways. As you pointed out here, with this mod you're only carrying the phillips at all times, so you've given up the flathead in exchange for being able to carry more bits with you. I much prefer the stock P2/P4 solution. The tools are well shapes, work well, and cannot fall out and become lost. That said I do appreciate the work Zapwizard has done, more customization options is always a good thing. His scalpel mount option is really appealing. Worth checking out his youtube channel. 100% agree on serrated blades. Never needed or wanted to have one with me all the time.
This was great, I don’t think leatherman would advise it but I use the pliers to pry things apart and the amount of force you can convey through them is pretty substantial, I have since stopped carrying them and moved to 4LR vice-grips. Love this community.
Serrations suck for my uses. I like your mod to make something that works for you. I'd take the extra serrated blade to my belt sander and turn it into a Texas Toothpick and resharpen it for something different and light weight. I have modded a socket with neodymium magnets to hold micro bits and I ended up using 2 magnets together to have enough holding force. Press fitting might crack the magnet if to big. I ordered a bunch of different sizes and thicknesses to have for future projects so I was able to pick the right combination. I lightly sanded the magnets and inside the socket with rough sand paper and epoxied into the socket and that seemed to work well. Scratching the surface of anything will help the epoxy hold as the scratches get filled in and helps it lock the epoxy in place if between something.
Just in case this helps. When I put a multitool back together that last washer is the most difficult to get on. The easiest way I have found is by having the pivot just blow where the washer would go then use tweezers to push the washer in the general area it needs to be. I then put the tweezers in the pivot hole and catch the center of the washer. This allows me to pull the washer directly where I need it to be with little fighting. I can also always explain more and send picture in the discord.
I have the p4 I actually like it carry it everyday. I'm a painter so the pry bar is nice for opening cans if I need it the Philips an flat heads are good for small stuff like remove a drywall scerw or faceplates. When folded one end has a flat pommel I use to bang can lids shut. Best part is I can grab it from my belt one handed whip out any tool an use it without using my other hand. I've enjoyed it for the last year ive had it.
I became obsessed with serrated blades since I found out they cut rope extremely well, now I EDC a leatherman surge, a straight blade knife and a serrated blade knife.
I have and carry both the P4 and the Surge. I love them both. The P4 is part of my edc on my days off and during work days it the almighty Surge. Gr8 vid. 🇺🇸
I think the Free P4 is the prefect EDC full sized multi tool. The vast majority won't need more than a flat or Philips head. They also make for exceptional pry tool and bottle cap opener. I do wish the blade was 154cm and more flush. I also love my Charge TTI but got rid of the small bit driver, scissors and flat head. Swapped them for a large bit driver(put a glass breaker) and Awl.
I've used leatherman for 25 years and I've switched to gerber center drive for about three months now and I've given my 10 year old son my leatherman wave. Give gerber a shot, you'll like it. For me it does alot of whati need for my profession as a maintenance supervisor and now a full time HVACR technician. you'll be happy I think.
This entire video hits really hard..I came into ALL the same issues with mine. Starting with not having 2 t9's lmao. Couldnt get the 3D printed thumb studs to stay, I don't even think I realized it was a MINI bit holder when i bought it..also scooped the proper magnets which were a B*tch to get in that tiny little shaft! 🤣 going to try to tackle it again this year lmfao 4 years later..
That tool you removed along with the Phillips screwdriver is a combination package opener / pry tool. The three slotted screwdrivers are all in the other handle.
I edc the surge every day and find a use for it on the daily. Update I bent the edge on my p2 cutting a plastic high tension ziptie... the metal on the blade is very soft...
I agree serations are not that useful for my edc as well. BUT I love my P4 for my job. More times than not, working as a diesel mechanic, I find my self with only one free hand. Holding up a big hydraulic line, wires, etc. So being able to flip open my P4 pliers or tools with one easy motion is a LIFESAVER.
I went for the p4 because the combo blade on p2, I'm totally on board. The only draw back is the size and weight of the thing.... So it mostly lives in the EDC tool pouch, and back in my pocket is my trusty juice s2. I find it to be a very good EDC tool and on most days it's all I need. Thanks again for the great video and for taking the time👍
I have a P4, Surge, and Charge TTI. I carry the P4 and the Charge. The Surge stays in my truck. The issue you tackle in this video is the only issue I have with the P4 and P2. Interchangeable bit option. I love having that on the other two models I own. I'm going to give this mod a shot. I'll probably stick with the flat bits provided by Leatherman. Thanks for posting this! Love your channel, btw!
Not sure if anyone else noticed that micro bit adapter has 3 places to put the bit. Looks like you can put the bit in the side as well as the ends. Watch 12:06 and you can see under the bottle opener a micro bit hole
The bottle opener hook opening on the bottle opener/Phillips head on the p4 fits around 1/4 bit like a wrench on a nut. It’s not super easy to use, but it does work... I assume it’s by design, but don’t know for sure
I totally agree . We the user's want a excellent Multitool that has the actual things we need and use . Sadly the Multitool companies don't make a Multitool that has the actual things we want and will use. We need a Multitool company like Gerber or leatherman to make a custom model for us users. Perhaps one day they will and we can have say a D2 blade for the Knife and swap out other pieces we need on the Multitool
Hi. Thank you for the video. I have an older wave that i wanna change out the pliers from a rebar( had to get special wrenches for the rebar) they worked great! Wondering if you or anyone can tell me what size the security torque screws are on my wave and recommend a good one so it doesn’t twist on me so i can change these out? Thank you. Have a good night
I have carried everyday the Leatherman Wave with the 22 Leatherman bits, a Fisher Space Pen, and FourSevens Preon P1 in a holster for a decade or 2. The only issue is that Leatherman no longer makes the holster. When I lost a pen and flashlight because the elastic straps were worn out I purchased a Chinese made copy. The elastic straps/loops are looser - should last longer. However, the leather belt loop/snap cover did not even last a year. Fortunately Utica Shoe repaired it with better leather for ten or twenty bucks.
If you turn that drill that you opened the hole up with around backwards, you can use it as a guide to line all the tools and bushings/liners up… then just slowly push it out from the other side with the pin
Just recently got hooked on your videos and love all you content! I'm wondering if you have any cool ideas for what kind of bag/case you could recommend to hold small EDC items (knife, pen, bandages, oligh...) in the glove box or armrest of my car? My old Ziploc bag just won't do anymore since I've seen your channel!!! Thank you very much! Cheers!
i have a charge tti, a old school Rebar, and a Free P2. guess which one is my EDC?? i wish it had a better file and ruler, but, i love how light it is, and all the one handed use of it. i'll pull the charge out if i think i'll need the bits, or just feel i need some extra heft, but don't like the thicker/more layers in my pocket, and my belt space is limited, so i don't really use the cases except to store them. and i keep the Rebar in my glovebox and stuff to use when i'm gonna do somethin dirty or greasy. but my EDC is the free p2. it gets alot of hate, but it's a perfectly fine EDC. they should have more sales on it tho.. but alot of leathermans are too high priced imho. the ARC is ridiculously expensive for something that looks like a free series and a charge tti made a baby, lol PS: i do wish they made it with a straight edge too, tho... i really like the dedicated straight and serrated blades with the zip hook on the charge tti, but that adds another layer... so back to the Free p2, lol, like i said, it's not "perfect", but it sure has saved my ass alot and doesnt feel as cumbersome as my other LMs
My Leatherman Charge is on my desk, so I'm constantly fidgeting with it (like right now), pulling the pocket clip on and off. Not sure why I keep it on (other than the fidget factor), I don't think I've ever worn it on a belt or pocket ... and never strapped the leather case through a belt loop. Just a little too big for that, but perfect for a backpack, car glove box, etc. The Free looks interesting though, and I've been looking for a good edc multi-tool.
Put a strong neodymium magnet in your tweezers to overcome the magnet in the Leatherman. Once you start the screws in the washers put away the tweezers.
That Bit holder thing might make me buy a P4 finally Because I carry a surge and like the bit kit I am that guy who edc's a Surge Kit on my belt bought a bigger tool pouch to carry all I want to here is what is in my pouch Surge , bit kit, bit extender , uv 3a light , Whia microdriver kit, 3in ferro rod and striker . 4 folded 12in zip ties .... Yes this is overkill but I have had to use my kit a few times to help myself or others out of a bind .
This was definitely not a waste of your time, especially since Leatherman just released a new ratchet driver that uses both their bits and standard 1/4inch.
I been carrying the ozark multiforce in my pocket, which is the Chinese knockoff of the wave. Its pocket clip that it comes with attaches nice inside my pocket and I honestly forget its even there its weight is not an issue.
Personally I would like to keep the 2D Phillips and flat head and get rid of the file, awl, extra because I use a lot torx screws in my line of work. So would be nice to have #2 Phillips and a torx bit ready to go.
@@i-am-magoo No problem!! I was wearing my 36mm automatic arctic gsar when I was watching this, and thought hmm yeah that design looks kind of familiar!
If it wasn’t for the irritating tabs on the handles I would’ve kept and love my P2. My Wave is still cool but I recently got the Victorinox SwissTool Spirit and I love it!
The best EDC multitool is the Sebertool M4, long out of production but every multitool enthusiast owes it to themselves get a Sebertool m4 off every and experience it for themselves if they haven't yet. That is if you're someone like me with a toolbox in about every room in the house and only really needs a full sized multitool at work.

The day Leatherman allows you to custom build a multitool with the tools you actually want... *sigh*
They would probably cost at least double as much, because they’d probably have to have physical labor added that isn’t already in their cost of production. Economies of scale, etc.
@@chuckhightower2730 People would pay it though, myself included.
@@Plunz I’m not saying I wouldn’t, but they have to make the decision of whether or not it is a financially feasible and marketable service
That's the part that sucks. I'm pretty sure they 'have' weighed the options and already came to the decision not to do it. It's a shame.
@@chuckhightower2730 They definitely already have and decided it wasn't.

If GOAT Tools is successful, Leatheman will likely respond with a modular / customizable tool. Is anyone aware of any other modular multi-tools?
That would be a dream
@@stevemartyn3138more made in China garbage that’s flooding the desk jockey edc market?
I see why the P2 is so expensive now. Imagine trying to put those damn washers in at the factory.
I'm so glad you didn't delete this video. I've taken apart 3 bugouts so moding a Leatherman should be fun. Wish me luck
Your patience is amazing. That leatherman would have been airborne if I was trying to reassemble it with all that drama
If only someone designed a multi-tool made to be customized 😉
Send this man a product yo 😂
SOG can be customized, the warranty sucks though. I recommend the Ozark trail Multiforce, inexpensive and no worries.

Because anyone who is into EDC needs YET ANOTHER bottle opener. Great video, may look into mods for my Sidekick.
What about can l openers on them they're almost useless
I edc the surge every day and find a use for it on the daily. Update I bent the edge on my p2 cutting a plastic high tension ziptie... the metal on the blade is very soft...
the tension on the flat bit driver is adjustable. push the sides in to tighten out to loosen. we need a quick access 4mm bit holder. belt Carrie
I agree serations are not that useful for my edc as well.

And tbh, it's fun to flip around.
This definitely gives me some ideas as to how I could tinker with my Leatherman.
What is that pad you’re working to keep the stuff altogether? Pretty neat. Hehe.
I blade swapped my plain and serrated on my P4 to make it left handed.

Fortunately Utica Shoe repaired it with better leather for ten or twenty bucks.
Love it, keep on working on em.
I want to replace the serrated blade on my Free P2 with a saw. Where can I get one??
Love the mod, I carry my LE Surge on my belt (TOK) so it's fine for me. Glad you improved your EDC.
What screwdriver is that? Love it.
Looks similar to the scout leather co driver, but I guess it's from a custom maker from Instagram brasswerx, I might be wrong tho..
The gerber center drive, is just the best.
Well done 👍! Great modification!
I'm looking into getting a half decent knife and I am undecided between the CIVIVi Brazen and CJRB Crag. I would like to know what others have to say.

Soooo who make the brass bit driver that you are using to take apart the leathermans?
My Leatherman Charge is on my desk, so I'm constantly fidgeting with it (like right now), pulling the pocket clip on and off. Not sure why I keep it on (other than the fidget factor), I don't think I've ever worn it on a belt or pocket ... and never strapped the leather case through a belt loop.

You should get the thumb studs from shapeways it will stay on by two small screws t
Nice brand new drill
Put a strong neodymium magnet in your tweezers to overcome the magnet in the Leatherman. Once you start the screws in the washers put away the tweezers.
possibly a dumb question: are those 3D printed bit driver parts metal or plastic?
You have the option now to use the flat bit ratcheting extension. Keep that in mind. More options.
My question did you look at the e
Seller page. He did mention you need to bore it out, and that there's a magnet slot for the microbit.
I said all of that at the end
Baron's Man Cave in Memphis, Tennessee now carries Finch knives if anyone is trying to see them in person.
could i replace the micro ruler and wierd awl on my p4 with the bit adapter instead of replacing the philips and flathead?
Thanks a lot! Now I need a modded Free P2 in my life. 😆
Taylor, print a small holder for the most used bits for the flat bits. I find them very useful.
A single holder the bits come with fits fine in my wallet.
who's bit driver are you using for the tear down? That custom driver just looks beefy as hell! Made me want it.
the Leatherman wingman is the way to go.
I love my Wingman...it's K.I.S.S. with me. If I need big guns, I have hundreds of dedicated tools at my work
I did not know this was a thing game changer thanks my guy I liked this video so hard I broke my mouse!
Awesome video, I was wondering about doing something similar, but I think I’ll stick with carrying a Signal.
Can you imagine a Taylor Martin signature Leatherman Free. That would be wild.
Could you do a review of the leatherman ratcheting driver. Wondering about the quality
I'm a fan of the Free P2 - all the tools on the outside....If it were perfect for me it would have the 1/4 bit driver...
That Bit holder thing might make me buy a P4 finally Because I carry a surge and like the bit kit
I am that guy who edc's a Surge Kit on my belt bought a bigger tool pouch to carry all I want to here is what is in my pouch Surge , bit kit, bit extender , uv 3a light , Whia microdriver kit, 3in ferro rod and striker . 4 folded 12in zip ties .... Yes this is overkill but I have had to use my kit a few times to help myself or others out of a bind .
This was definitely not a waste of your time, especially since Leatherman just released a new ratchet driver that uses both their bits and standard 1/4inch.
I have the Free T-4 and the Gerber Armbar drive as my EDC, and I love them. I do wish the Armbar had a pocket clip tho.
Where did you get the brass? handheld bit driver from, please?
I been carrying the ozark multiforce in my pocket, which is the Chinese knockoff of the wave. Its pocket clip that it comes with attaches nice inside my pocket and I honestly forget its even there its weight is not an issue.
Personally I would like to keep the 2D Phillips and flat head and get rid of the file, awl, extra because I use a lot torx screws in my line of work. So would be nice to have #2 Phillips and a torx bit ready to go.
How can you edc a P2 while I often feel skeletool is to heavy to edc.
Hey Taylor, thanks for this video! What's the watch you're wearing in this one?
It looks like a Marathon quartz GSAR
@@ChaseB1896 Cheers! I wasn't aware of this manufacturer. Just discovered that they have those as automatics as well. Thanks again!
@@i-am-magoo No problem!! I was wearing my 36mm automatic arctic gsar when I was watching this, and thought hmm yeah that design looks kind of familiar!
If it wasn’t for the irritating tabs on the handles I would’ve kept and love my P2. My Wave is still cool but I recently got the Victorinox SwissTool Spirit and I love it!
Has anyone found a source to buy individual leatherman parts, I just want Free P2 but the full blade from the P4?
How can I get these 3D printed components?
I really like this attachment 🙏. But you need an other blade
I really want to do this to the opposite side of my P2. Use those 2 alot. Never use those other 4. Love the tool otherwise. Thanks for sharing!
what about bit storage inside the handle
The best EDC multitool is the Sebertool M4, long out of production but every multitool enthusiast owes it to themselves get a Sebertool m4 off every and experience it for themselves if they haven't yet.
That is if you're someone like me with a toolbox in about every room in the house and only really needs a full sized multitool at work.
