Got My Charge...
- Thread starter Great Pebble
- Start date
And, as a reprise...
Email this morning offering a replacement nylon sheath and their apologies.
Given the reports of the others on here regarding the superiority of the nylon version I shall be accepting their offer. Still think I'll get a nice custom leather knocked up though, maybe with a torch loop. Any suggestions on who might do the dirty deed?

i sold my charge after a couple of weeks too.
i think the tool holder is a pain, too stumpy to get any where near a sunken or shrouded screw. the lack of a 3mm flat screwdriver blade for electrical connections, choc block and the like is a real pain.
my experiences with the spare bits echo stuart's.
the outside blade arrangement is really awkward for lefties, well me anyway.
i have a blast? (i think) on order, i just need to get a replacement swiss tool!
cheers, and.

Same for me too sargey. It felt fine in my hand actually but it was a pain when selecting the blades.
Perhaps it is a typical problem from us lefties, but at least we are the more imaginative and creative half of the brain working for us
I can see that this would be a problem. I find that the arrangement is great for right handed use and I can find most of the blades in the dark now and deploy most single handed.sargey said:
One quirk I have though - anyone else feel that the pliars can be hard to put away because they foul up with the blades when gong into the handle?
Nylon replacement arrived yesterday, my advice to anyone thinking about buying a Charge is go with this option. Much "safer" horizontal carry than the leather option and a noticably lower profile on the belt also.
Top marks to Leatherman Tool also for first class customer support.

i'm not a massive leatherman fan, but i've never heard anything but good experienceswith their customer service dept.
the blast arrived today, very clean and simple, all locking nice long screwdriver blades. the tool holder will work with standard hex bits as well as the flat leatherman bits. the tool holder, which slides over the leatherman's crosshead screwdriver, also fits gerber crosshead screwdrivers!

OK, I've given in and bought a Charge Ti from E-bay for £69 A lot better than the £115 RRP :biggthumpMagiKelly said:
Can you give us a clue as to where the fixed lanyard point is? I like the penclip and attachable lanyard but they become detached when you you release the Bit-lock which isn't that desirable.
Apart from that I think it's a great piece of kit. A real step up from the wave.

Well I never !!!
thanks for that Adi :biggthump I was convinced I had explored all of my new toy
): I tend to use the penclip if I'm not using the sheath but I find the accessory lanyard a pain as it detaches everytime I release the Bit-lock.
But then again, my friend at work uses this to fasten it to the sheath. He removes the lanyard when he needs to use the tool further away. The dangling lanyard reminds him that the tool is not back where it belongs when he's finished the job.
