 - Leatherman Hybrid Gardening Multitool Great tool when I am working in the garden. The one tool replaces several tools. Only problem is when I use the weed blade it folds in too easily. Rating: - Designed wellAs usual, Leatherman company designed an excellent tool. It is very convenient having a knife / saw pruning shears all in your hand at once. Rating:  - As AdvertisedLeatherman Hybrid Gardening Multitool with Nylon Sheath #830555 Fast service. Tool works great . Already used it on some pesty branches that are from a neighbor's tree. Kept running into them when I mowed. No more!!! ((:>)) Rating: - Great tool for the weekend-gardenerI just got this the other day and I've already put it into action. The knife looks pretty pathetic in the images on Amazon, but in reality it's sharp and very effective. The pruning shears are also excellent with a very good spring. In short, this tool has the quality you'd expect from Leatherman. I also want to praise Amazon's delivery. I bought the tool with the Super Saver delivery option and they turned up just three days later. Only one downside - they came with the wrong instructions. I got the "Vista" instructions by mistake. Of course it's just a couple of clicks to download the right ones from the Leatherman site. Rating: - very handy for gardening and campingI had real reservations about buying this tool. After all, the most expensive pruner at the natons biggest retailer is only about $25. But, I have to say I'm pleased. The pruners work well. I use the saw often. The knife blade is handy for opening bags of sod, or whatever. I can see where the screwdriver bits would be handy in a pinch, but I use those three things almost every time. The weeder is the only one I don't have much use for. With the saw, I even leave the handle extended (like this ___---~~~) and it works very nicely. Probably not how you should use it but it seems to work excellently. In fact, I even took it camping. It was great for little projects! Cutting medium sized sticks for firewood, whittling wood when practicing making a "figure 4" trap, etc. So, I'm very happy with it. However, unlike other leathermans, it is MUCH more prone to getting dirty (obviously). I had to buy a special screwdriver so I could clean it, one like this one B001A89VGA (search for that). Anyway, if you are careful you won't need it, but I tend to be sloppy sometimes.
