Customer Reviews

Great little, yellow, power house.
When I first received my Leatherman I was not sure how well it would perform. It is smaller than any other tree lopper that I have used before. I would classify it as a small hand lopper. It is small enough to comfortably place in a tool belt or attach to your belt using the included belt carrier. It seems to work on branches up to 1/2" as long as you know how to use them correctly. If you don't know what you are doing any tree lopper will bind and not give a clean cut. The hardest wood it was used on is an Ash tree that needed some pruning of low branches. The 1/2" inch diameter branches where the most I could easily cut on the ash. Very sharp and very clean cutting. It works great for the more fine to medium trimming of tree branches, shrubs and rose bushes. It also works great for trimming in places where the larger 24" or 36 " tree loppers are a little ackward and tough to menuver between branches. My opinion is a great addition for the finer trimming and for the average home gardener. But if you work with trees, hardwoods especially like oak, walnut, etc., and need to lop off 1/2" or larger branches you will either need a saw or the Leatherman's big brother, lopper (24" or 36"). Now you say there is a saw included...well have you ever tried to cut a branch with a 3" saw that has two movable handles?

uncomfortable hand grips
I found the tool heavier than anticipated. The largest drawback for me was the lack of a cushioned handgrip. I returned the product.

Great tool to have in the garden!
The Leatherman Hybrid Gardening Multitool is one amazing tool! The shears are sharp and lock into place to allow the tool to be folded up. The multitools all work very well. The only two complaints with this tool are 1) The weeder does not lock into place, which means it will fold under while trying to use it. Not good for stubborn large weeds (No snide comments about why I allow my weeds to get so large! Everyone gets them... at least I tell myself that.) 2) You cannot open the side tools with gloves on. Maybe with latex gloves, but anything with any thickness and you'll have to take the glove off to be able to open the side tools.

Overall, I really think this is a great product. Those complaints are minor and I highly recommend this product!
