Long version: I looked around a little bit before buying this about 6 months ago. A couple of things I was looking for were: 1-easy to open knife, 2- quality made, 3- saw, pliers, and basic screwdrivers, 4- belt clip or lanyard ring... In fact it all started like this. About 15 years ago a friend of my father's gave him a Leatherman supertool as a gift. Since that day, it is his togo tool where ever he goes and at home too. I grew up with it. I don't remember an occasion where there was something to be fixed and he didn't pull out his leatherman first. His 1974 CJ-5 is broken, and he pulls it out... He needs to change the faucet and he pulls it out... That is the first tool he reaches for... Most of the time the only tool.. The knife lasted amazingly, the pliers are still functioning great. I grew up with it. I am 30 now, he is 60.
Now, years later... fed up with cheap chinese made stuff... I was looking for buying to buy myself a multitool to take with me on outdoor trips. Something that I can rely on when I need it. that is simple, durable, and gets the job done. My needs were clear. So where did I look first? Of course Leatherman. That is the tool my father uses. It had to be good. I looked at the current models and found out that this one has everything I need and the price is reasonable. So, I went for it.
After using it for 6 months, I must say that I am satisfied. My only concern is that while the body looks great, it feels (I don't want to say this) cheap(er). I guess that is how everything feels nowadays, compared to what we had 15 years ago. Engineers are trying to trim off every ounce. I have no doubt that it will last for a long time. Still, it hasn't got the feeling of the Leatherman I grew up with.
Here are a few things I like/dislike about the tool:
* The blade is on the outside. Considering the fact that the knife is what I use most, this is a huge plus. why would I have to unfold the entire thing everytime? and you can open it single handedly. The same goes for the saw.
* I made a little paracord lanyard and tied it to the ring. I keep it there all the time. Once, I needed to tie up something and it was there for me, hanging from my knife. It also looks really nice hanging out of the leather carrying pouch.
* The ruler is mostly useless.
* The screwdrivers are a little too big for fine jobs. Normally, I carry a bike multitool with good screwdrivers, allen keys, and torque keys. So, it is not a big issue for me.
If you are looking for basic functionality you cannot go wrong with this one. If you are looking for something a little more advanced, check out the other models.
cheers.
Now, I don't have any need for an $80-$150 multitool. Neither my lifestyle or job demand it. I just need the basics. Honestly, the Sidekick has more options than I need. I also own a CRKT Zilla for this reason (great large blade, spring pliers, standard bit driver). The Zilla is perfect for me, but it's size and weight makes it a little unwieldy for pocket carry. The Sidekick is Very pocketable and thusly (like the Zilla) comes with a pocket clip.
Let's hit the details:
Pliers: 5/5. Spring-opening and PERFECT. By far the best tool on the Sidekick. They are robust and work flawlessly. The spring-opening action puts the Zilla to shame.
Main Knife: 4/5. Not too bad, at all. It has a small/medium pocket knife-sized blade, comes sharp, and has a good tip for fine cutting. It easily thumb-opens one-handed and has a liner lock. However, the Zilla has a much larger and better blade.
Saw: 4/5. Usually, multitool saws seem pretty useless. However, the Sidekick's saw is much more impressive than I expected it to be. It's the same length as the knife and just as robust. It's also a liner lock, which helps for stability while sawing. It's a great saw for small tasks. Like the knife, the saw is also meant to be thumb-opening; but I wouldn't suggest it. The saw's opening action is not smooth (it drags) and the saw teeth are too close to the thumb hole. This results in a real danger of cutting your thumb open; because as you dig the pad of your thumb into the opening hole to overcome the drag, the sharp saw blade teeth can easily sink into your thumb as you try to rotate the saw open.
Phillips Driver & Flathead Driver: 3.5/5. These two drivers are less impressive. They are permanent (not an interchangeable bit driver). Not the end of the world, except that they are both sized quite large. There is a smaller flathead on the file.
File: 4.5/5. Like the saw, I usually find multitool files to be useless. And again, like the saw, I was pleasantly surprised. It's actually a great file. This is not your dad's Swiss army tool file. Thick, wider than expected, and useful.
Small Serrated Blade: 4/5. A better option for cutting things like cordage and rope than the plain-edged main blade. Though, the short length will make cutting thicker rope difficult.
Bottle Opener/Can Opener: 4/5. It's fine. Yet another bottle opener to add to the collection. I mean, they're on S-biners, key chains, knives. Pretty much everything. The can opener's nice, though.
There is also a fold-out ring for carabiner attachment as another method of carry.
All these features, plus a good nylon sheath and an included small carabiner multitool, makes the Leatherman Sidekick a great option for those of us who don't need a Wave. Recommended.
*Note: Keep an eye out for price drops. I bought mine for a steal at $24.88. As of right now, they normally sell for just over $42.
