Leatherman 831102 Super Tool-300 Multitool with Premium Sheath Review
What a great tool. I am a huge fan of the Super Tool 200, which i still use, so I will use that as a comparison. I've had the 300 for about a month and a half, so it is still in the break in stage, as it is quite stiff to open and close. A quick usage background on myself, I work as a mechanic/technician on vehicles and equipment ranging from utility ATVs to diesel engines to heavy equipment, including road service calls. I wear and use this tool daily. It holds up extremely well in rough industrial shop environments. My Super Tool has seen battery acid, hammering, prying, twisting steel banding among other things, being dropped on concrete, and it still works wonderfully.
Noticeable improvements: My well broken in 200 has the problem of flinging the blade out when I open the tool. They corrected this problem on the 300 by inserting a small detent to create a positive stop at the inner base of both the straight and serrated blades.
The cutaway to access either blade is much bigger. Makes it easier to open the blade, given the extra small bit of effort required with the addition of the detent stop and if you wear utility gloves.
The plier head is much stronger and wider with replaceable wire cutter blades. The plier jaws on the 300 are square cut and thicker instead of rounded over like the 200. (just remember to use threadlocker when you re-install the torx screw after blade replacement)
The depth of the handle is noticeably bigger, though not by much, adding a more solid, bulky feel in my hand. I have relatively large hands and it is very comfortable.
The phillips screwdriver is stronger with a more beefed up shank.
The saw blade is slightly wider, adding more strength.
The blade release button is greatly improved. Consisting of a wide thumb pad the width of the handle, it makes for releasing the tools a breeze, especially while wearing gloves.
The lanyard eyelet is bigger
The flat tipped screw drivers (all 3) are bigger with a more professional bevel at the tip.
The case. The case I received with the 300 is leather/nylon combo. In the time that I've worn this tool, the black finish is starting to wear off on the backside. I prefer the feel of the nylon case as it seems to have a more flat profile on my belt.
This tool does NOT have scissors, as I've read complaints about this. I have personally have never needed it in a multitool.
For a basic, heavy duty full size multitool, I highly recommend the Super Tool 300. I like it enough that I am going to buy another one (maybe the black oxide version) to keep in the truck. For the price offered, you can't go wrong or beat it when you consider other smaller multitools can cost almost twice as much. Great value. Thanks again, Leatherman, for another great tool.
