When the Leatherman Signal was introduced nearly a decade ago, it was groundbreaking with its unique blend of traditional multitool functionality and survival-specific features. As I reflect on my prolonged use, it's clear that while the Signal has many strengths, several design issues have surfaced over time. This review will highlight both the positive attributes and the areas that need improvement.

So it seems that the new color for the Leatherman Signal is Guava. I'm cool with giving people new color options, it allows people to personalize a tool, maybe even match it with an outfit. But, I'm used to multitools being stainless it black oxide. Maybe I'm old school, but I would much rather have a tool I'm not afraid to use hard. One I'm not afraid of chipping the paint on. Leatherman has changed some in recent years, trimming it's lineup and offering customized options instead. It's an interesting time for sure. If this is your thing, grab yourself a new Signal in guava.

We got wind last week that Leatherman was releasing a new color for the Signal. Leatherman sent out a teaser email today, press release will be this Friday (6/28).

When it comes to being stylish outdoors, few multitools can match the Leatherman Signal, available in several colors like this turquoise one.

This is it- the Grande Finale!  Before you read this, make sure you have read through all of the others to ensure that you are totally up to date!

Multitools have been a part of our lives for several decades and have been engineered to be a do it all tool box. Manufacturers include everything but the kitchen sink to ensure that we have the tools we need for any occasion and to keep us prepared. The downside to this is the tool is not specialized for a specific task and this general design makes the tool heavy. It also can be a deciding factor in which tool you purchase or edc if you have a collection like me. Several tool companies are designing tools that are specific to a job title, recreational activity or task and the Leatherman Signal is one of those tools. The Signal is patterned after the Leatherman MUT design and scaled down so it’s not such a massive beast. Weighing in at only at only 7.5oz the Signal is enough tool for the task and light on the tools so it's easy to carry where ever your headed.
