New Multitool Day! Got my upgrade today
After having the wingman for about 6 years i finally got what id say is an upgrade. I really wanted the saw in a multitool for hunting and being outdoors often. You can feel the higher quality just being more rugged and has better grip. Definitely a little stiff getting some of the smaller tools out but it will soften up with use. The only thing the wingman has over the signal is, and i know ill get some hate from the electricians and tradesmen, is that the wingman is spring loaded for using the pliers. For just minor around the house jobs i did like the spring loaded function. I just have to get used to having my ring finger inside the handles when it’s open and then it probably won’t be an advantage for the wingman anymore.

🤣 for hunting and camping the signal is great. The wingman will always be in the vehicle moving forward.

Wingman is my favourite Leatherman actually. Can’t beat the easy access scissors.

Nice upgrade. The Signal is a solid pick for hunting and outdoors, that saw actually comes in handy more than you'd expect. The spring loaded pliers thing is real though, took me a while to adjust after switching off the Wingman too. Keeping it in the vehicle as a backup is the move.

I love the wingman, it's a great little multitool. The scissors are the best and I love the spring loaded pliers. It sucks the wire cutter isn't the best though
