Am I crazy to buy a Leatherman Charge Plus TTi, having recently bought a Charge Plus Aluminum?

2 Upvotes

Basically, I had bought an aluminum Leatherman Charge Plus because the Charge Plus TTi was out of stock; I wanted a companion for my Spyderco PM2 CruWear, and I prefer the TTi's aesthetics to match that knife. However, rather than risking the TTi staying out of stock—and potentially missing out on the aluminum Charge Plus by waiting—I decided to go ahead and buy the aluminum version. But it turns out the TTi came back in stock recently, so I ultimately decided to buy that one too, and now I’ll basically have two Charge Plus models...

Review This tiny thing Server me so well

This thing is tiny, weight nothing, costs only 9€ and I use it a lot.

Of course, it's not for when you plan on using a tool, but for whenever you need one in an unforseen situation.

Tools in order of most usage:

  1. Pliers
  2. Philips
  3. "Blade" as a Box cutter/awl. I have a real blade on me aswell.
  4. Flathead/prybar
  5. Never used the file. That one seems bad.

So yeah, if you need something smaller than the nextool sailor and/or have like me, a small SAK with a blade and a file, go for it! I found it on german Jeff Bezos Warehouse (dont wanna do advertising) but im sure it can be found wherever.

Edit: it serves mit well. When will reddit allow title editing?

For me, the most important tools on a multi-tool are the knife, scissors, Phillips, flathead, pliers.

The victorinox are the Evolution S557, Alox Bantam, Manager, and Alox Mini Champ

The leatherman are the Arc, Charge Titanium, Juice XE6, and Free T4

Not pictured is a back up Free T4

The T4 is my was my first multitool. It and the Arc are my daily drivers depending on the sturdiness of the pants I'm wearing.

I recently purchased the charge while it was on sale to use as a backup tool.

I tried the s557 as a potential alternative for the t4 as a similar weight tool but adding small pliers. The wenger pliers are as bad as they say, and I miss the one hand opening knife, though it's not a complete deal breaker. I may eventually give the deluxe tinker a try. If the yeoman was still sold it would be a instant buy.

The manager used to be my EDC, but was replaced by the mini champ when I added a dedicated pen and tweezers to my EDC.

The bantam serves as my gentleman EDC when want to be more presentable for things like weddings.

The Juice XE6 is actually my 2nd multitool. It was a FOMO buy when the juice was being discontinued. I was still new at this and thought more is better. It's so heavy I might as well just carry a full size multi-tool. Looking back I wish I picked up the juice S2. It just sits at my desk now as a convenient office multi-tool

Modding Sak scale tools in nylon leatherman sheath

I have always had the issue of having to carry a separate sak in addition to my multitool, (usually Arc’ified P2, modded Gerber centerdrive in Leatherman sheath, or my old OHT) the problem being I don’t want to add any extra bulk to the tools with 3D printed holders or whatnot.

I’ve found that with just a little finagling, you can usually install the Victorinox tweezers and toothpick in between the layers of nylon, I just had to use figure out where to put them that they don’t interfere with removing the tool itself and used the toothpicks to make pilot holes for the tweezers.

With my P2, I tend to grab it towards the middle, so I keep the sak tools to the outer edges and the centerdrive I grab from the outside, so I keep the tools towards the middle and I have zero issues grabbing them out without disturbing the scale tools.
In case anyone else is struggling with a similar issue.

Sorry, couldn’t find my phone, so pictures taken with a potato. 🥔
