Leatherman Free P2 Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath

The tools are all easily accessible from the outside. Magnets hold them in place. There are more than enough usable tools that fold into this unique package. This tool is at home in your kitchen drawer as well as your car or camp. It is a little expensive and perhaps contain 2 tools that you might use very little like the small awl ,but after extensive research I believe the P2 is the best option for most people who need more than 4 tools. The New York Times has given this Leatherman P2 model a very high rating. It is elegant and small for what it brings to the table in convenience and is made in USA.

I have several Leatherman tools including the MUT, Wave, Raptor, Skeletool, and Signal. I bought this as an EDC tool as a nicer, shiny alternative to my Wave. Now I just wish they made this in a flat black finish. The tool is solid. It opens in a revolutionary new way, and every tool can be opened with one hand. You give it a slight twist to break the static friction of the magnet system, and then swing it around similar to a balisong knife, to open the pliers. Every other tool is on the outside. Each one of them can be opened by pressing on base. I am a nail-biter, and have no finger nails, so this is a HUGE plus for me. I opted for the P2 over the P4 because I wanted something lighter. The edges on this tool when closed are all smooth, which means it is very ... MoreI have several Leatherman tools including the MUT, Wave, Raptor, Skeletool, and Signal.

The edges on this tool when closed are all smooth, which means it is very comfortable to keep in my front pocket. I like the fact that the pocket clip comes with this model, unlike the Wave, where it would be a separate purchase.

I had been carrying the Skeletool on my person every day for almost 5 years when I discovered the P2. I weighed out the pros and cons of moving to a new EDC multi-tool, thinking through the additional tools the P2 would introduce to my carry versus the added weight that it would bring to my pockets. After much debate, I pulled the trigger and ordered one. I’ve been carrying and using this tool daily for a little over a week now, so I can’t speak to the longevity or durability of this tool, but I can speak to its usability, quality, and feature set in my time of using it thus far. The pliers are fantastic and the blade came super sharp. The scissors are immensely useful for cutting threads on clothing, and the drivers do their job as expected on semi-light duty ... MoreI had been carrying the Skeletool on my person every day for almost 5 years when I discovered the P2.

The pliers are fantastic and the blade came super sharp. The scissors are immensely useful for cutting threads on clothing, and the drivers do their job as expected on semi-light duty fastening tasks. The one feature I do wish they would have implemented is the bit driver, although I can understand why they may not have included it on these first tools. My hope is that they expand this line with even lighter options that give other long-time Skeletool users like me another option to incorporate into their systems. Overall, fantastic tool and I’m looking forward to many years with it by my side!
