LEATHERMANFREE P2 Multitool with Magnetic Locking, One Size Hand Accessible Tools, Made in the USA

Very nice tool. I have owned multiple Leathermans in the past (mostly gifts), but I never really used them. This one is obviously a refined version of earlier models. Very well thought out, great fit and finish and a pleasure to use. Feels like a lot of thought went into how these tools are manipulated in hand and the result is a fine tool. I think it's considered a full size model, but definitely not too big for every day carry. Nylon sheath is good, but I went all out and ordered a leather one from American Bench Craft, specifically sized to this Leatherman - super nice product too.

The P2 gets some hate within the leatherman community, but it's a great tool. I love it's simplicity and it works well for the few things I need it for during the week. It fits well in the pocket without being too heavy/bulky and the free series just looks so nice with that dimpled looking design on the handles. Great choice for a basic, easy one handed use multitool.

Use it every day at the shop, especially when I’m too lazy to walk to my box. Lots of tools and they’re not really gimmicks. Every tool can actually function as designed in practice with minor exceptions.

This model feels lightweight and is easy to open with an audible click. I replaced my older Surge with this unit and it seems on par quality wise but not so much price wise, they have gone up significantly. Regardless of the cost, it’s a necessary part of my work wear that I need multiple times daily. My Surge suffered a broken needle nose point and was sent in for replacement jaws since it has a lifetime warranty (now reduced to 20 years I’ve noticed.) I guess time will tell about wear and quality but so far it’s been a month and it’s been a solid companion at work.

I've been watching videos of this knife for months waiting for it to come out. Out of the whole FREE line, the P2 stood out as the one that could be my EDC without going overboard. The additional knife and saw with the P4 were not something I would use. And the fact that this is a combo blade is perfect.Out of the box, even the presentation was amazing. Like a major tech company showing off what you just bought. The first time I opened up the pliers, I laughed because I've never felt a tool like this since I was a kid with a cheap butterfly knife. Not to say it felt cheap, but that it was fun, made sense, and easy to use in one hand.I hope the photos add a little clarity about the sheath which was something I have not seen photos of yet. One note is that if you plan on using it, you will want to remove the clip since it doesn't fit with the snap.Also, the clip is a BEAST. Seems strong enough for a cordless drill. It's removable but cannot be put on the opposite side.In terms of function and tools, you know the rest! Plenty of videos out there but I will vouch for this being awesome. It feels great. The haptic feedback is real and adds to the experience.Overall, I'm impressed and I'll update after I get some hours of use with it.

Awesome tool. I carry it every day and it is fantastic. The innovation in usability over previous multi tools is revolutionary and for me obsolete everything else. All tools on outside, check. All tools accessible whugh one hand, check. All tools lock, check. Great aesthetic design as well.Some quibbles I've seen out there are disappointment that the leatherman bit set is not used, that a higher end steel was not used for the blade and tools may pop out when using wire cutters. While I would not object to any of these being addressed, during the time I have daily carried this tool none of these issues has ever detracted from the effectiveness of the tool.

...that they'll complain endlessly about the most insignificant things when said company releases a new product. The Leatherman Free series is proof of that, especially the P2 and P4. Seems most people are either on the fence, or completely hate it, and it's usually over some minutiae like some random tab, or placement and shape of a certain tool. Be happy Leatherman does just what they're doing; making top quality multi-tools for just about anyone.That said, one negative to state. How hypocritical of me. To me, the P2 and P4 are not worth the $120 and $140 respectively. $80 and $100 seems more In the proper range. I used a gift card, so the price didn't sting as bad as it should have, but they are overpriced in my opinion. With that out of the way, I can say Leatherman makes the best multi-tools, but I've always had trouble finding one that's perfect for me, and honestly, I believe that model doesn't exist. But the P2 comes close. I've owned five Leatherman MT over the years: a PST, Sidekick, Skeletool, Micra, and now the Free P2. The first three are still going strong, passed on to a different set of hands, and the P2 is now my primary. After 3 months, no issues at all aesthetically or functionally, the tool opens with a slight flick to separate the magnets, and a quick flip and you're ready to go with the pliers. The pliers are stout with replaceable 154cm wire cutters. All other tools access from the outside, can be accessed one-handed, and every tool locks in place. Unlike the P4, the P2 comes standard with a removable deep carry pocket clip, although a company makes very high quality kydex sheet is for this model, and are available on Amazon. Aesthetically, the entire Free series maintains a classic LM look overall with a modern stylistic touch.Even after handling one, all of the bad reviews had me considering other options at one point. I guess I'm not seeing and feeling the downsides they did, or they're not nearly a big deal to start with. No major hotspots, improved ease of access, etc... All of this is relative to other similar products in the LM line. I find a lot to appreciate here. Maybe you will too.
