A Leatherman´s Best Friend

Garage Batch #009: Adapter is designed to work alongside your multipurpose tool while giving you a smarter way to carry the tools and parts your project requires.

Its 3-way ratcheting system allows forward, reverse, and locked positions, so you can keep turning without constantly repositioning the driver. The folding architecture provides three working configurations: straight for extended reach, 90 degrees for leverage, or fully closed for compact ratchet use and pocket carry.

At the opposite end, a threaded metal cap secures a modular cache storage system. The Adapter includes a precision insert with a T-shank wood saw, T-shank file, and double-ended bits. The storage cavity can also be configured to carry spare hardware, hobby tools, sharpening gear, or small repair kits.

Because the cache works with standard bits and T-shank accessories, it functions as a flexible carry system for the tools and parts you choose to bring with you.

A pen and micro screwdriver are integrated for small adjustments, and the tool can be carried on its own with a pocket clip or lanyard, or alongside your multipurpose tool.

Reviews

Cool concept, not a full product

"Love the concept. But this seems to be like 80% finished. The insert is 3d printed with poor finishing from a flexible polymer. The 3d printed titanium component is not posted finished and is actively tearing off pieces of the slip joint everytime I open the tool. I appreciate the lower price point for a garage series tool, but clearly the finishes touches suffered."

— Nico M. (4/5)

Good not great

"I love the ratchet and and the portability. The 3D printing is not ideal and I don't need the saw or file since I would already be carrying another multi tool that has that. The way the 3D printed bit/saw holder is not easy to use. The fact that it doesn't come with a clip for the price is crazy. If anything I'd rather it offer a way to carry for bits for the ratchet."

— Harrison S. (3/5)

Batch #009: Adapter

"As I continue using the screwdriver, the 3D-printed material is wearing down, causing the screwdriver to become loose and no longer stay closed as intended. With additional wear, I do not believe it will reliably hold the middle positions either. Based on the current wear rate, this tool is unlikely to have a long service life."

— Koby P. (4/5)

Tool use

"It’s a great tool especially for leverage on screwing or un screwing, sometimes u need your multi tool for something and don’t wanna open up another function so you pull this out to help and maybe use pliers to hold nut while screawing on , only think I’ll change is maybe less plastic and more heavy duty material, overall I like it"

— Fernando G. (4/5)

It's always with me.

"One of the things I do not like is the white TPU bit and blade holder. Everytime I pull it out one or both bits fall off. The blades are a little hard to get off. I was wondering if it was actually needed. Get rid of the holder for more room in the handle. The eye glass bit is handy. I use it the most. The pen. . . nope! I want to add something else in its place."

— Mark H. (4/5)

What the garage is for.

"A very neat original tool, priced appropriately for its form and function. One of the 3-D pieces is extremely jagged, which snags on things. I'm happy to see leatherman testing new thinge in the Garage. I have loved seeing experimentation in the small releases make it to production tools. I welcome the all the true innovative R&D and testing."

— Geoffrey S. (5/5)

Great potential

"This thing has some incredible potential to be a fantastically useful tool. My biggest issue with it is I’m afraid to use it as I don’t want anything to happen to it. For those reasons I really hope they decide to develop this. The only reason I don’t carry it all the time is I don’t want to loose it"

— Eric L. (5/5)

Handy little accessory

"Loved the accessory when I saw it and quickly placed my order when it went on sale in the Garage. Built quality is unfortunately not Leatherman legendary. . . Specifically, I was disappointed with the 3D printed blade holder concealed inside the plastic handle. Otherwise, this is a great accessory, I have been fortunate enough to be able to get one when it went on sale!"

— Deepak K. (4/5)

Meh

"There were plastic shavings at the pivot from opening the tool, it didn't feel durable, I didn't like the way the tools were integrated. 2 stars because I like that it's a full sized 1/4 inch driver and I want one from Leatherman on a plier based tool and maybe this is kinda possibly probably not a step in that direction."

— Josh K. (2/5)

Could be much better

"I only bought this because it’s leatherman. It’s cool but not very practicable. Ratchet is the same one they sell for multitools so it’s not any stronger than those. The 3d printed bit holder feels very weak. If I actually attempted to use this everyday it wouldn’t last long. If anyone from leatherman garage is reading this please please make a sturdy high quality slip joint plier multi tool that isn’t junk like gerbers is. I would buy that and I know many others will. No needle nose. Classic slip joint pliers style. Mechanics, farmers and hobby mechanics would love it."

— Luke T. (3/5)
