Leatherman Tread.

ohhh . yeah ..
just the thing for a retro, mcgiver, steampunk buddy of mine.

you know, if you made a chocker out of several of these and placed it lovingly around the neck of your lady before a halloween party, you'd be just just some eye shadow, a bluetooth earbud, and a circuit board glued to her head away from dating the borg.

totally cool.

There goes wrist hair. Gonna slip up behind those plates and yowee. Interesting concept certainly. I'd never wear one, certainly.

I'm trying to figure out how to get the screws out to disassemble it to get to the screwdriver blade to disassemble it with. Guess you have to carry a second tool with a screwdriver blade. Sorta defeats the purpose.

This doesn't count as pack weight, right?

Yeah, I haven't worn a metal band watch for years, though after a while I did get used to it, I would guess this is the same.

I think the idea is that you don't take it apart to use it, just take it off and then bend it at its various hinges.

One of the comments under the video gave me pause – can you wear this on an airplane?

Love the idea of using it as a wrist watch band.

Testosterone fully boosted.

Tres chic!!!! But at that price point, I think it should be titanium (more UL, too!).

I think it would be ok for air travel, because the tool it doesn't seem to have is a knife.

Nothing I carry uses bolts, glass, screws or bottles.

Maybe nice for a ski tour but I'm pretty sure those bits are all metric!

Yes but you can never be over prepared for the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

Oh there's a lot of money to be made preparing people for fictional scenario's!

Holy crap! My first thought was I would be wary of where I wore that thing. Maybe on the trail it would be fine but not in the workplace. Like don't wear a necklace when operating a lathe or wear hand jewelry when messing about in electrical boxes. I repaired a gents gold wedding band that was "melted" by an electrical charge from just that. It must have scared the SH*T out of him. I know it left a good burn cause he bled all over it. I have heard other stories of guys getting rings/bracelet/watch bands caught on stuff and ripping off a good deal of hand and finger skin but those were not first hand accounts like the WBand.

Gimmick IMO. I'd rather have a more traditional tool kit like the HDMC kit below It's heavy but under 5 oz.
