“Usual high quality tool from Leatherman. However I bought it as it is advertised as a non locking blade which is UK legal. This is debateable depending on the configuration you use for the blade in. If you open the blade and close the handles, then you can't close the blade. Leatherman would have been better siting the blade on the outside of the handle. This is disappointing. I'd have been better off buying an SAK.”

“Quality is solid but only after some work. This is a follow up review after a few weeks. This tool has some rough edges/design issues that really should have been ironed out. I guess that I was expecting everything to be good on this tool straight from the factory but it's not the case. A couple of issues have been rectified with this revision - namely the possibility for the main blade to come out of the body and potentially injure. This has been sorted by the change of blade shape to a modified wharncliffe, and by a hinge spring redesign that prevents the blade from falling open a little. The new blade is a better shape, I think, but it's more crudely ground than the previous drop point blade. It is also thicker behind the edge. The tool frame had sharp edges that I needed to sand down, and the file sat ever so slightly proud of the frame so that when gripping the pliers hard the file teeth along the sides of the spine are uncomfortable. Again a bit of filling/sanding sorted this issue but I feel that this shouldn't really be necessary with a Leatherman. It is, however, a very decent and solid tool, and good value when these issues have been sorted.”

“I bought this as I wanted a UK legal carry multi tool. I do have a Wingman. This tool is several leagues above the Wingman in terms of quality and how it feels in the hand. It does not have scissors, like the Wingman, but the toolset on the Bond is significantly better, especially the Philips screwdriver. And the fact that it comes with a decent pouch just adds up to a very good buy for the money.”

“This is a significant step down in quality from the Rebar that I bought a few years ago. At least with this updated version the blade spring and shape have been altered so that it can no longer partially open before the hinge spring engages, so that's a plus. The blade is now a modified wharncliffe which will not spike you even if it opens a little whilst using the pliers, (which it won't due to the hinge being corrected). However the blade is crudely and unevenly ground, mine was not sharp and it's much thicker behind the edge than the previous drop point. The sharp edges of the file protrude slightly proud of the handle when using the pliers which can be painful under heavy use. For a fairly simple design all problems should have easily been ironed out by now, but they have not. Although it's better value than many of this brand it should nevertheless be better quality.”

“Cheapo and reasonably cheerful. They are very stiff straight out of the box (too stiff, frankjly) but are UK 'legal' so... reasonably selection of tools (though I'd like a scissors) and cheap opnly in leatherman world, obviously.”

“Spoke to a very helpful gent who confirmed the newer blade shape version was in stock, ordered on phone, received next day, what is not to love about a simple basic efficient ordeing system. Keep up the good work.”

“What an absolute cracker of a multitool .I own a few multi tools including a Wave plus and Surge. I wasn't holding too much hope for the Bond .I was wrong .It's very elegant and slim .Though it's a slip joint the tension bar gives a great sense of security and the redesigned sheepsfoot blade is a great idea .I had to send my Surge back for a replacement due to poor fit & finish .No issues with this one .paired with my Sak Farmer x and I feel I can do pretty much anything that might crop up day to day .And UK legal .I love it and definitely plan on getting a spare as a backup .I feel the Surge is a great heavy duty tool suited to Alone.Rje bond is a very refined well designed every day carry tool .Well done Leatherman .You got this one right .”

“Having been used to my leatherman surge, but not comfortable having it as a daily carry, I was initially underwhelmed by the bond. But having added the pocket clip, which is more secure than any of the other types of additional clips, I now carry it daily with pleasure. The blade is just the right shape and is sharp out of the box. The overall size makes it a perfect edc. Would definitely recommend for an inoffensive daily tool. Love it.”
