LEATHERMANFREE T2 Multitool and EDC Pocket Knife with Magnetic Locking and One Hand Accessible Tools, Made in the USA

This could double as a fidget device as the owner practices one-hand control. It’s the right size for the pocket, yet strong enough to work for you.

I had seen the thickness of this tool and was slightly turned off by that. But another “comparable” tool from different manufacturer let me down, so I thought I’d give this one a shot. This is a great knife-based multi-tool! I do wish it were a little thinner, but aside from that I have no complaints. It’s sturdy when applying force, smooth to open and close, and each of the tools lock confidently.This is a tool, that if I lost it, I’d reorder it (and probably buy a pocket clip for it).No regrets so far (and the thickness is something I’ve gotten used to).

*revision* After using knife for awhile, it has smoothed out and loosened, making it easier to open one-handed*. Action on the knife blade is rough, making it difficult to open one-handed as advertised.

It’s a little bulky, but I’ve gotten use to it, the extra tools have come in unexpectedly handy. The fact that it’s made in the USA was a big factor in the purchase. I don’t regret it, and have come to carry it most often.

Unlike the more expensive model, this one you can actually deploy the blade with one hand. Sharp and compact. Use it everyday.

This little knife is going to outlive you or me. It is nifty in the way you can deploy the tools, all of the tools lock in the usable position, and the knife is an appropriate size for 99% of tasks not including splitting open a coconut. It takes a little practice to get the tool you want with one hand, but I am confident that most folks with dexterity of 5 and above will be up to the challenge. And, as I began with, the knife is here for the long haul.

I carry a SAK Recruit daily but was interested in trying out this Leatherman tool since I really like the Skeletool. I was pretty disappointed overall:- No pocket clip / lanyard clip included. I knew that before I bought it but I thought I might like it enough that I could overlook that or just add a screw to one of the existing threaded holes. I learned my lesson long ago that these tools just slide out of your pocket so I like to attach a UltraTac to clip it to my pocket (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RQSDDPK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but there is nowhere to attach it to. The hole on the knife is 1.6cm long - that would eat up alot of your keychain / lanyard. The tool is threaded for the pocket clip but in tip down position only. Why not thread for tip up too? The fact that there are very little options (aside from spending the $15+ for the clip) was really the biggest reason I did not like.- Bulky. This thing is stated to be 1.6cm thick, my SAK 1.52cm but it feels so much bigger than that. I don't know why they couldn't put 2 tools on each side and practically half the width.- Feels cheap. Plastic ("glass filled nylon") sandwiched between stainless sides. The plastic almost has that "3D Printed" feel to it.- Knife appeared sharp and easy to open with one hand. I liked the locking mechanism.- I liked the selection of tools on it and they were cleverly held with magnets.The selling point for me is that it is US made but it just wasn't enough to keep. I was disappointed, will stick with my SAK.

I love the knife but, I am left handed. If you are left handed it is hard to use because the lock is only on one side. I gave it to my friend who is a righty and he loves it. It is his every day carry.
