Solid tool, well designed May 9, 2006

I bought one of these for my fiancee, who is the gardener type. I bought it so she would stop absconding with my pocket knife, and so far my plan has worked nicely. I'm no conoisseur of bypass pruners, but these seem well-constructed and plenty sharp. The tools are typical Leatherman steel, which is to say adequate unto the task.
I strongly prefer locking knives, and this one doesn't. That's a bummer, particularly with the saw. I've also become very accustomed to having access to the knife blades on the outside of the tool (the way the Wave and Charge are designed) but I think that would have made this tool too bulky and unwieldy. As it is, it's a big tool...noticeably larger than my Charge. The handles are comfortable enough, with nice injection-molded rubber inserts.
The sheath is great. There's a metal pocket clip, and a nylon belt slot. The tool can be stored either folded, or in pruner-mode, which is a very nice touch.
Well made, well designed, well-conceived. Despite my quibbles, the lady is a happy gardener, and my pocket knife is way less muddy. Mission accomplished.
 Not for the daily gardener June 4, 2008

I purchased this item recently...and returned it right away. While Leatherman offers excellent Multitools, this gardening tool is rather pathetic for anything other than extremely light use. I am an avid city gardener and purchased this product thinking I could have an all-in-one tool as I do my daily garden maintenance. However, none of the tools really measure up for any significant use. The pruners are average at best, much better bi-pass pruners can be had for less with much more comfortable handles (I concur with many of the other reviewers, the handles are terrible...not just uncomfortable, but not nearly strong enough for the job), the weeding tool is a joke! It's not long enough to pull weeds unless you practically bury the handle in the ground...and then you'd have dirt clogging up the mechanics of the tool. The saw is completely impractical, and the other tools are hardly worth mentioning. Again, I normally like Leatherman tools, my husband cannot be found without his multitool on his belt, but this simply is not up to the task of serious gardening. If all you do is EXTREMELY light work and you like gadgets, then by all means give it a whirl. However, if you are looking for useable tools in the garden, I suggest looking elsewhere.

I returned this tool. I found the handle very uncomfortable compared to the few hand pruners I already have; perhaps, my hands are just too small, or my grip is too weak. I also found the little tools very difficult to open. After thinking about it for a day, I realized that I would find it too annoying to bother with or to even pass it on to someone as a gift. I knew I'd prefer walking to my garage to get the tools that I liked working with.

Quality garden tool that is almost too nice. I got this for my wife who loves working in her garden. She wanted something that would cut back on the number of tools she carries around. I'm finicky about my tools and so its hard to watch this garden multi tool get dirt and plant sap all over it. But she is happy with it and I don't mind cleaning it up. A bit pricey but a great example of you get what you pay for. In this case that is quality.

I have had been using this tool for about 6 weeks now and I love it. It is very handy device to grab and slip the clip on my pocket as I make the rounds of my garden beds (flower and vegetable) to do a little maintenance. The pruners work well for deadheading and light corrective pruning, the weeder works well for loosening the occasional errant weed, and I even find the screwdrivers handy for tightening trellis screws. Now instead of trying to load my pockets with several tools all I have to do is grab the leatherman. Some seem to have issues with the sheath, but I like it and believe I prefer it to leather as some have suggested.
For some small flowers I still, however find I prefer my garden scissors for deadheading and of course for heavy duty pruning it is not going to be your tool of choice, but for general maintenance I find its all I need.
