This video demonstrates the Leatherman Ratchet Driver in action with first impressions. Is the Leatherman Ratchet Driver worth buying? and will the Leatherman Ratchet Driver fit into my Leatherman pouch? This Ratchet Driver has been long anticipated and transforms the screwdriver function across all Leatherman Multitools with a bit exchanger. This is a UK review.
My name is Jonathan, I have a passion for all things 'gadget, travel and EDC' which has filled both my personal and work life for many years. This includes sourcing, reviewing and product development and the creation of two UK national retail chains. Find out more here: • About Jon Gadget - Who...
This channel is here to help you find great travel and carry gear on the back of solid and detailed reviews along with years of experience. I also hope to give you ideas and inspiration when it comes to everyday carry gear, travel gear and gadgets, which make life a little bit easier and perhaps more fun.
I welcome any feedback on my videos or the channel in general. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase an item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Most suppliers, after seeing the channel, are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
I am sometimes asked to review a product by a supplier which I will only agree to if the product fits the channel and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. Also the product needs to be worthy of a review. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many requests are politely declined.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding. Even with sponsored reviews I will only agree to a sponsorship on products and services which I believe will be of genuine interest to viewers.
I will always make reference in the video to products which have been provided for review by a supplier and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the review in any way if they choose to supply a product.
Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description. Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.
Comments:
I really appreciate the feedback in the comments - I find it a source of knowledge and inspiration - so thank you to all of you who take the time to contribute. I have recently found that if I continue to respond to all the comments as the number of videos builds, it takes time away from being able to produce new content which would be very counter productive! - so my aim is to read everything I can and reply when I can, after each video goes live, until the next video goes live a week later. I'll see how that works out 😊
Thank you for supporting the channel so I can continue to provide you with regular reviews, thoughts and ideas and (hopefully) inspiration! Please consider subscribing to keep up to date with new video releases, and if you want to be notified when a new video is released, don’t forget to hit the notification bell.

Hi @@chrislawrence7 a lot of people really love this option and although I have never owned one I think that I should probably get one! The challenge we have in the UK, where I am from (I am not sure where you are based?), is that technically this is illegal for us to carry (because of the locking blade) and therefore hard to recommend as an EDC from a UK perspective. I do agree though the simple but great combination of tools with the Skeletool makes for a perfect carry and and the blade steel on the CX really adds to the quality and usefulness. Also, Bit exchanger and pliers are ideal implements (I'd miss scissors though) and belt clip should make for a perfect EDC where laws allow.
@JonGadget
@JonGadget 3 роки тому
@@chrislawrence7 yes, unfortunately you need a good reason to be carrying a locking knife in the UK these days - blade length on any knife must also be max 3inches too - not ideal. Hence EDC challenges and why Victorinox fits so well.

Do you find that the sleeve connection on the tool torques or flexes when screwing say, into the wood? I’m always hesitant to over drive it and bend or possibly shear the sleeve off the surge itself.

@@2371Anita I believe its called the Bit Adapter, the extender is a different tool. The Bit Adapter will come as a little kit including the adapter and 5 double sided bits. So 10 different screw heads. Then you can put the ratchet into the adapter where you would normally put the bits. Works great.
@TheStoyanbahchevanov
@TheStoyanbahchevanov 3 роки тому
Leatherman are great tools, but still adjusting to my Wave+. I have moded my Wave sheath so can accommodate few bits,because it's smaller than the Surge sheat. But most of the time I have my tool in my pocket and that's why I want to mode my Wave so I don't need extra bits. I will make a video when I finish it. Yours is fairly new, because of the new style sheath. The ratchet looks useful. Made in Taiwan shouldn't be a problem, I have many Cold Steel knives made there and have no problem. All the best.

Might be easy to put a thin piece of plastic in the bit holder to make the bit stick out slightly more. If the magnet is strong enough, the plastic should still allow the bit to hold to the magnet.

No - because the driver is accessed by opening the tool I can't be locked in 90 degree position - I think also leverage forces would be too great if it was attempted

Never see anyone turning anything real tight with any of these “EDC tools.” No longer even “compact” expensive assortment of tools that don’t really work well. “Practical tool?” Reaching for this to screw in siding would ruin your wrists. Obviously used a drill to pre drill holes for the screws. If you have a drill, use it to screw on the siding, your wrists will thank you later! Sold to gadget guys trying to justify their huge “gadget” credit card bills.

I bought this as a kit... and this is absolutely the worst Leatherman product that ever left the factory... I bought one, the rachet broke... Sent it back, they replaced it. It broke again, this time it was the pliers... sent it back... They replaced it again. Third time's the charm... Nope. The lock broke for the blade. I just tossed it. When you get two, that should be cherry picked from the factory, and they're both turds, you know there's an issue. No more Leatherman for me.
