Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leatherman 830146 Core Pocket Multi-Tool with Leather Sheath
Customer Review: leatherman core
Summary: 5 Stars
i have been using leatherman tools since the early 90's, and by far my favorites have been the supertools(supertool, supertool 200). the core is the latest in this tool line's evolution. when the supertool 200 came out, i thought, "wow!, they fixed all that was wrong(not much) with the supertool." the same can be said about the core. it is one more step in the constant evolution towards excellence. the core, as with all supertools, is the strongest in leathermna's tool lines, the wave line(wave, new wave, surge)being the most versitile. for me strength is were it's at. that being said, alot of versitility can coaxed from the core's tools. for instance, i routinely use the smallest flat head screw driver as an improvised drill bit on various wood working projects. improved and longer tools,and better lock system enhance performance on the core. i especially like the longer saw blade, as it makes it easier to cut larger diameter wood, a definite plus when in the woods and you need to cut tree branches, etc. other improvements include more comfortable grip, and when you pull open a tool(i.e. a screwdriver) you don't pull the rest of the tools with it. all in all this is an excellent tool, but check it out for your self. leatherman has such a good selection of tools, that if this one doesn't suit you, you are bound to find one that will.Customer Review: Toughest Multitool I have owned.
Summary: 5 Stars
This little tool is the most versatile and tough tool I have ever had. I paid way too much (not on Amazon-$85 at an AAFES store) for it, but it has more than paid itself off. From working on equipment to opening bottles and letters, the Core has more than proven itself to be my greatest tool. A little tough to open when I first got it, (still kinda is.) but that only adds to how tough it is. when you drop it from the back of a humvee you dont have to worry about it closing or opening. the knife is tough enough to cut through thin aluminum without really dulling the blade, the sawblade long enough to work on tough jobs, and you can close it and use it as a hammer! this is the only tool i wont be replacing after my deployment in afghanistan, because i dont see this tool breaking. RECOMMENDED FOR ANY SOLDIER!

Summary: 5 Stars
I own quite a few of these (see my other reviews) and besides the Swiss Army multitool this Leatherman is pretty good also. I bought it for approximately $43.00 at a local Target and it is a great deal due to its quality and value. This tool feels like it can endure a lot of wear/tear and it does. I've used it to disassemble devices and torque screws very tightly. That kind of work usually leaves the poorer quality multitools in disrepair, but this one endured very well. You won't find the $43.00 deal on Target.com. It seems to be only available at the store itself. I am very happy with it and highly recommend it.Customer Review: More like the original LEATHERMAN SUPER TOOL!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Leatherman tools, I have owned the SUPER TOOL, the WAVE, and now the CORE.
My company bought me the SUPER TOOL and I used it for twelve years, when they bought me the WAVE I gave the SUPER TOOL away to a friend.
Four years later I bought the CORE and gave the WAVE to my son.
I liked the WAVE, but the original SUPER TOOL and the CORE are more alike, and I like them a whole lot better.
If you are going to buy a Multi-Tool, go LEATHERMAN and you won't regret it.
Twenty five year warranty!
Customer Review: Cleverly designed, the best just got better!
Summary: 5 Stars
This tool is an evolution of the already excellent Super Tool 200. I own both and getting to love the Core by the day. No-nonsense, very practical and useful; if you want a strong and versatile can-do-all tool without having to pay the earth, then this is the tool for you. This is the best value for money. A must-have addition is the tool adapter -or- the bit driver as some call it, which gives you the ability to use any standard 1/4" hex drive bits, which considerably enhances the already large array of things that you can do with this tool.
