I knew you would give in... knew it!

speaking of douchy names.. what about that poopyface guy?





Buy you guys a beer? we should have a support group.
as i said many times as a youth, I'll show you mine if you show me yours
https://i.imgur.com/d3FHTvfl.jpg

so we are putting together little group where we can get together and talk about surrendering to a higher power. and then we spend the rest of the time bragging about all the multitools we have. see above.

to be sitting in a drawer when you need it?


so many questions, so so many.

check your rear view, i think you might be in reverse. your work got taken to the cleaners

I got my first Leatherman PST in 1990 to go to war with, on the other hand:

see, we told that swiss guy, right?

glad you asked.. So the charge sit's atop the second tier of leatherman, The outside opening tool tier, This group of tools have 2 or 4 outside accessible tools, common tools are a pliers, wirecutter, plain edge knife, serrated, saw, file, can opener/bottle opener/wire stripper, phillips and flat screwdrivers, eyeglass screwdriver and bit driver in the charge, surge, wave. The wave is the best selling multitool in the history of multitools.


Charge (TI, TTI, AL, ALX, Plus, Plus TTI) The charge has the most tools of this group, it also has a higher quality knife blade steel, either 154CM or S30V for the plain edge knife. I EDC either a charge TI (with TTI blades and plier upgrade from warranty) or a charge AL
Surge with it's tshank socket for virtually unlimited sawing capability (anything from wood to steel) as well as a file that can be used to sharpen the main knife blade when removed. It is the largest of these tools and tool large for some.
wave/wave+ there have been 3 revs of this tool, The first had 4 outside locking blades but the other tools were detent retained not locking. The next version had all tools locking, the wave+ has the replaceable wire cutters.
Bond/Curl - new these seem like mr potato head where they are half one tool and half another part OG wave part rebar, and some of the tools are non locking, a step backwards in my mind.
sidekick,wingman only 2 outside locking tools for these two, both include plain and serrated either in 2 blades or 1 (combo blade) a pliers, used to be bargain priced, they have migrated upwards, some argue they are part of the "free" line since the tools on the free seem to come from these tools, but they are not magnetic and they predate the "free"


The ST300 is also the top of it's tier, the all inside tools. The tool itself is large, like the surge. It carries the most tools at, i think 19. but it's saw is a wood saw only and it is fixed unlike the surge. The file does not include the diamond side. but it is very robust. The surge and ST300 are like the city mouse country mouse versions. One is a little slicker, the other maybe, maybe studier. Supposedly the ST300 is supposed to be easier to work with gloves on.

The other tools in this line include the

rebar, 3/4 version of the ST300 (girl hands version )
blast
kick
PST II
PST
Crunch (locking pliers)



now you are dooming your car to break down repeatedly I've had a wave or a surge in each of our car's gloveboxes since 06

I just sent them a totally horsed up surge and crunch and got back 2 nice shiny tools in perfect working order
The surge they replaced a couple tools and both blades but kept the rest, the crunch, they sent back one that was brand brand new (assembled of used parts likely, but still had that new car smell.)

So, there was an original ST, then the ST200, and now the ST300, so I think it is more like iphone 13 or note 21 than how many tools.

that sheath is $50 on it's own, so I highly doubt it.

i googled but did not see any complaints according to whois history they've been around since 07 https://www.wmtips.com/tools/info...rstore.com

thanks for catching this! however, the NSN they have matches the stainless version on amazon rather than the Black oxide version.

I have a mut eod and struggle to find uses for it. I've used the carbon scraper before but attaching and using cleaning rods is not convenient, and the takedown pin pointer is a little sharp for my liking, I'd worry about scratching something with it, If I hadn't bought it used for $50 I don't think i ever would have purchased it.


they do not. only the sidekick and wingman have those pliers. However, I would say once your tool loosens up, you'll find they don't need springs.

This wasn't a mistake, what makes it obvious is that they left it up so long (days!). A pricing mistake is when someone leaves a digit off the front or puts a decimal in the wrong place. This was an intentional ploy. It's a guerrilla marketing tactic to drive people to the site and then do a bait and switch with a 15% coupon.

A bad review in a public space is how you handle cancellations like this.

My order was placed on the 20th and refunded on the 23rd, which is the same day I got the cancellation email. Disappointing, but at least I did get my money back. Sorry to those if you who didn't. At least we know it wasn't a complete scam.

Got the coupon code- not unique at all. Says it's "one time use" but it's not unique? Maybe they can tie the code to the email using it, but they also provided a laundry list of items that the 15% off code is ineligible for including, you guessed it, Leatherman products. What a pile of crock, definitely a bait and switch.

The list of non-eligible items for the 15% coupon is comically long. I feel like it would have been easier to list the items it DID work on instead.

I'm in the same boat as everyone else: ordered on the 19th, posted on the 20th, cancelled on the 23rd and still no refund. However, this new e-mail now says to expect the refund in 3-5 business days, so I guess that pushes the timeline into next week.

I opened up a trouble ticket with customer service and got this response:
Quote :
Refunds were processed as of the 20th and 21st of September and should be visible in your account within 3-5 business days. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further concerns.
and when I pointed out that five business days had elapsed, I got this response:
Quote :
Thank you for your patience, if you have not recieved the refund by Friday, please contact your bank so they can provide more guidance as to what is their expected timeline for refunds to reflect in your statement.
so got it, it's my bank's fault that I haven't received my refund.Confused

Got this message this morning —-

We would like to inform you that we are currently processing your order GXXXXX containing item 907666, Super Tool 300 SS Prem Box. Your order will ship the first week of October

Is this a different item? Latter description says SS Prem box? Is the tool itself the same?
You are the chosen one. Out of 300 comments you are the first that i have seen someone mention they are getting an item. Still funny it says processing almost a week and a half later.

Anyone get a refund different from the (immediate) charge? Just FINALLY got the refund, but it was $49.88... and they charged $50.25. Seriously, LCI?!

Yup! Same. I had a cheap filler item that I'm guessing they decided to charge me for even though I told them to cancel the entire order. If I don't receive the difference in the next 2 days I'm opening a dispute

I guess we do have a rep working hard on here thumbs downing any negative comments, if only they were that diligent about the refunds! 🤣
I received a cancelation and refund email on Thursday morning, still no refund on my card as of Sunday night, tomorrow if nothing shows I will start the process with challenging this fraudulent charge. 🙄 *sigh*
My refund finally showed up yesterday! So, they had my money for 8 days in total. TAG person stalking the comments, please change your policy to only charge when you ship! That would have saved us a lot of frustration, and you some negative publicity.

Okay, curiosity got the best of me on this. I called the 877-524-3478 phone #. The automated response identified the number as belonging to LCI. I hit whatever number it was for Returns, and to my surprise, an automated voice stated "You. Are. Number. 1. In...." whatever, line, or queue, but within seconds a female voice that sounded domestic (not overseas) politely answered the phone. I ended the call without actually asking any questions, but it confirmed what I suspected... nobody is actually bothering to call.

*Note - I am not blaming everyone that bought in on this deal and had their cards charged prior to shipment. That was TAG's and LCI's fault. I'm merely confirming that this appears to be a legit American business that may have screwed up royally, but sounds like a good corp citizen being one of the largest employers of the blind... maybe at least try to give them a call before you file your chargeback disputes.
I did call.
I was the phone with them for a half hour. I had 2 separate orders places. One was with googles (that I spent the evening researching to pick the right ones that I needed) and the other had 2 tools (not listed on slickdeals). Since I also ordered the 300 with one order and the squirt with the other, I got an order cancel email like everyone else. The card was only partially refunded so I called to see what the deal was. Turns out the other tools are on backorder for another couple weeks yet (there was just no email or communication to let me know) As far as the googles, they have no contact info for the vendor of the googles and have to get back to me to let me know if they will ship or be cancelled.

Benefit of the doubt or not, and I wish them the best, but from this experience it's been hard to buy something from them. Perhaps they are more geared for larger company orders and a little guy like me is not what they are for.

Finally got my refund about a half hour ago and somehow ended up with 11 cents less than I was charged. This is just getting ridiculous. How can a company be this incompetent and still be in business?

Do I bother going after them for 11 cents just for the principal of it, or just cut my losses and call it a day?

They did royally screw this up - agreed. They should NOT have charged anyone's cards until the products were ready to ship. Still, giving them a phone call when they offer an 800# phone number that actually answers the phone is the right thing to do. After that, it's on them... you can only do so much.

an update. Never heard back about the goggles, I had to call back. The guy was very poliete and friendly but also could not tell me ETA on the purchase. With time and money tied up into this (I already paid the CC bill) I just cut my losses and canceled the order.

Hopefully I don't have to work to hard to get the refund.
