 "High quality, very handy." 2010-02-09
By sgeise (South West Fl United States)
I use my Wave everyday at work. The reason I bought this extension is for the times when the fastener I'm removing is a little recessed. Sometimes the wave is just too big to get in close enough otherwise. It's well built, inexpensive and fits well in the Leatherman sheath.

 "This extension makes life easier!" 2009-12-18
By Kevin Ford (Westchester, NY)
I love my Leatherman Wave, and wouldn't trade it for any other personal multi-tool, but there were times that it was hard to drive screws in tight spaces without hitting my knuckles, and times when I couldn't reach a recessed screw because the tool was too thick. This extension takes care of these problems and makes the tool more like a regular screw-driver. It works with all of the bits that come stock with the Leatherman, and all of the extra bits that you can buy for it.

I highly recommend it.

 "Leatherman Bit Driver Extension" 2009-12-14
By B. A. Dilger (Charlotte, NC USA)
The Leatherman Bit Driver Extension converts your Leatherman New Wave and other models into a nifty long shafted screwdriver (or "bits"). While there is a little "looseness" to the device, it makes getting to deeper set screws easier. With a bit accessory pack you are now prepared to insert or remove a wide variety of bit designs. Recommended for the handyman.

 "Good extension for the Skeletool" 2009-12-11
By Scott R. Keiser
Combine this with the Skeletool and you can leave the pliers closed to use the screwdriver. This can hold Leatherman and standard 1/4" hex bits which leaves you open to any bit on the market. The only reason I give this a 4 star instead of 5 is that it seems a bit loose in the Skeletool. It just does not click in like the normal bits. Other than that this is a great tool and fits perfectly in the pouch that the Leatherman 42 bits comes with giving you versatility to tackle nearly any situation.

By R. Monk (Spanish Fork, Utah)
Great addition to my Leatherman, provides versatility as to the bits I can use since it accepts six sided 1/4" as well as the Leatherman variety plus it is always with me. It fits perfectly in the pocket of the sheath on the opposite side of the flashlight that came with my WAVE. "Now I'm ready"

 "Great product" 2010-02-17
By D. Throop (Atlanta, GA USA)
I did a lot of research before deciding on this set. The Makita tested slightly better in a few areas but lower in others. Based on price, I choose to go with Milwaukee. I can tell you I have yet to be disappointed in any area and I'm a pretty tough customer. The Lithium batteries are fantastic. The drills have never had any issues after many hours of use and I've even dropped them a few times from 4+ feet. These are well made and comfortable. This is my second set purchased! One set for the garage and the other for the woodshop. You won't be disappointed!!!

 "Best drill I ever owned" 2010-02-17
By Dan Theman (MI)
Very light, very strong. Other manufactures can not compete. Home Depot sells the drill-only version for the same price as the combo on Amazon. I like this waaayy better than the Makita 14.4V I owned before.

Batteries hold a charge no matter how long I keep them in my trunk in the freezing MI weather, and they charge in about 30 min. The battery indicator is SWEET! Be the talk of your buddies! Hit the button on the battery and it tells you how much juice you got left, which is very important when using LithIon batteries.

Oh and the case is nice too, fits everything perfectly- nothing slides around.

I only wish the drill came with a tool belt loop like the impact does, and that the impact came with a bit holder like the drill does.

Buy it! You will not be dissapointed!

 "Best on the market" 2010-02-12
By Dino
This is the best set on the market for its durability, cost, and ergonomics great for professionals and home owners. Offers less tool weight for everyday use for light weight jobs but can handle commercial work as well but you would need to step up to the next battery size the 3amp. I have this drill and the next size up I tend to use this drill most of the time because of its size and weight if I need more power I just change to the full size battery. I only use the other drill for the hammer function or for real heavy drilling.

 "For DUMMIES & Pro's Alike." 2010-01-07
By M. Cartwright (Oceanside, California)
It's funny how if like myself, you research about every single purchase online before buying. I did this with this very item and was dumbfounded at how at every single source, this item was given either the very highest or 2nd highest review able to be given. All except one single person both here and at one other retailer site. I am NOT an electrician, do not understand it so all the more reason I needed guidance. But as a person who worked in the automotive repair Field for over 22 years before I retired, I knew ALL my techs would only buy this particular brand of tester for whichever application we needed to test.

Well low & behold, I went to the manufacturers own website which CLEARLY stated (and addressed) the single dissenters "complaints" or questions regarding use of this tool. I could only assume he was unable to follow the clearly stated instruction (NOT in any way "buried"). I bought the unit and first time out of the box went to work on an overhead garage light. My wife told me she tried replacing a burned out bulb with 2 others and we needed to call a garage repair tech since the socket was DEAD. Took this tester and found it showed to actually have power. Hmmm.....So who would guess the wife had pulled out a paper bag from out closet with several bad supposedly new bulbs? Kept trying till I got one that worked. Saved me an $80.00 plus service call 1st day.

The Christmas tree lights was the same story finding & isolating bad bulb and not wasting money for a whole new set. Now, regarding a single complaint about wanting a green light for one thing, red for another for safety> Well for someone like myself who is NOT educated in electricity and the like, I actually prefer always a RED light that reacts differently to different circumstances. It makes me too scared to drop my guard and get careless.

So there you have it, a completely NON professional review by an old guy scared to death of getting zapped. But this paid for itself the first 5 minutes and before I even read the instructions. In fact, I haven't since getting it. It is so OBVIOUS when you simply turn it off & on, how the beeper/buzzer works nobody should ever need any instructions! Really, i have no clue and it was so obvious to me, it was a cakewalk! This brand is trusted by more tradespeople than any brand I know for test equipment. I am glad I took a chance. I love this simple, easy to use, reliable, durable, with EASY to replace batteries device. Shocking huh?

Before I got this tool I bit into 2 hot lines, while I did not get shocked it is a great example of why you need to test lines before you assume they are not powered. It is a simple tool and is a must if you are going to do some minor electrical work.

 "Great Quick Reference Tool" 2009-11-13
By M. Daniel (Columbus, NC)
This is a good tool to make a quick test through the insulation of an electrified wire. It is also good to locate an open in the wiring. If it shows there is voltage, you can count on it but do not be convinced that there is no voltage just because it doesn't indicate that there is. Always be cautious and make a final check using a voltmeter. 240 vac lines do not show any voltage present because the opposing emf fields cancel each other out.

I would purchase this tool again.

 "not up to the fluke name" 2009-11-13
By Kurtis M. Kuszek
its a voltage tester, and it works... but I have used better. The unit has no adjustable sensitivity and is rather non sensitive... you hav eto just about touch the wire before it picks up voltage and makes it harder to get a positive reading. Lack of adjustable sensitivity makes the unit difficult to use when trying to find a live wire in a group of wiring. works, yes... but lackluster performance.

 "The Perfect Home drill" 2010-01-09
By Mark W. Sweeny Jr. (Town of Onondaga, N.Y. USA)
I bought this and have needed It 4 times already In 4 weeks just putting different things up and the smart technology really works. Sweet.

And what a great price! Unless I happened to catch a sale or deal of the day! The only thing at all. It does not have a carrying case! They really should have for this drill. It still on the original charge I gave It over 4 weeks ago, so the charge Is sure lasting. It fits well In your hand and Into tight side spaces(For the screw)as well. The 111 piece set I got at local True value on sale does have a case and have used it twice too now. So for anyone that wants a GREAT drill. I mean It's a Black & Decker! I can't reccomend enough compared to the 2 I've had to borrow before my purchase. This Is so Inexpensive. Like I said sweet deal. It does come with your standard flat head and philips on the other side that does come attached to It. So they will work for a lot. The smart technology Is great.

 "Might last three or four years" 2009-12-02
By windhorse (Florissant, Colorado United States)
This review is based on the B&D 12v Firestorm drill we owned, (bought from wallmart) for a few years. The batteries do not last for very long (about three years) and replacement batteries are very hard to find, because when a new 12v firestorm drill is designed, a new battery shape goes with it and old-model batteries do not fit and are not kept in stock (walmart, lowes, or Home Depot). The drill itself seems to do the job okay. But it is useless without its battery. Had to throw it in the trash. Whether it is the batteries or the charger, it is a get-what-you-pay-for product. Better to spend a little more and get a better product that lasts longer. My brother recommends DeWalt.

Gerber 22-01629 LMF II Black Infantry Knife- 4.8 inch blade

Buy Cheap Gerber 22-01629 LMF II Black Infantry Knife- 4.8 inch blade


Buy Low Price From Here Now

The Gerber 22-01629 LMF II Black Infantry Knife was designed for survival during even the worst conditions. This 10-inch survival knife was engineered by former military man Jeff Freeman and was field-tested with troops, ensuring that it can stand up to rugged, rigorous use and offer high performance under a variety of emergency conditions.

The Gerber 22-01629 LMF II Black Infantry Knife includes:
  • 10-inch serrated knife
  • Pointed stainless steel buttcap
  • Overmolded handle
  • Lashing holes
  • Sheath with built-in carbide sharpener





The stainless steel blade and buttcap deliver precision strength.View Larger.

The sheath features a carbide sharpener and a belt attachment.
Strong, Serrated Blade Can Be Used in All Situations
Whether you need to cut firewood, build a shelter, or slice through a seat belt, the LMF II survival knife has you covered. It was designed to adapt to a wide variety of situations, so you'll never have to worry whether you have the right knife.

Unique Buttcap Can Pierce Glass
In addition to the blade end of the knife, Gerber also gave the LMF II a unique, pointed buttcap that is made of stainless steel. This heavy end can be used to pierce glass in the event you need to egress from a helicopter or other vehicle. The buttcap features a smart design that is physically separated from the tang in order to offer shock absorption when it's used as a hammer and also to prevent electrical shock.

Smart, Versatile, Comfortable Design
The LMF II features an overmolded handle, which helps prevent hand blisters and provides a secure grip. It is also designed with lashing holes, allowing it to be converted into a spear and extending its usability. The black color keeps you inconspicuous while you are out on night-time missions.

Sheath Included with Built-In Sharpener
A low-profile sheath is included and it features a built-in carbide sharpener. The stainless steel blade can withstand a ton of abuse, but if it ever gets damaged or needs sharpening, you won't be stuck out in the open with a dull knife. The sheath facilitates movement and attaches to a belt or MOLLE vest.

Gerber's History of Ingenuity
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.

For more than half a century, Gerber Legendary Blades has been helping people fend for themselves. Gerber designs popular, dependable tools and knives along with other outdoor gear that helps users accomplish whatever tasks they may be faced with, promoting the lost art of self-reliance.

By Sacca7 (New Mexico)
Top quality knife with a really excellent sheath. Good for doing just about anything. Sharpener in sheath is functional, and will put a working edge on the blade. Very secure in it's sheath. The knife will not come out if you don't want it to. Serrations are good, and will not catch on whatever is being cut. Attachment system is convenient for attaching securely anywhere. Butt punch does all that is advertised. Extremely strong tip design. The handle really is excellent and provides grip in any condition, with or without gloves. My only complaint might be that it's heavy, but the added utility makes it worth it. Five Stars, well worth the money.

This is a very solid, functional knife that will perform well in a variety of situations. I use mine regularly on hikes and keep it in the glovebox for emergency use. Many people have commented on the difficulty of drawing this knife from its' sheath, which was a problem for me at first. I solved this minor issue by applying Armor All to the plastic lip of the sheath. This slick covering has definitely improved ease of use and functionality, while the sheath still retains the knife with no risk of slippage. Overall, a great, quality product.

I work as a police officer and responded to a crash on a major highway. The car had overturned and the driver was trapped inside. EMS hadn't arrived and we needed to get inside to the driver. I ran back to my patrol car and got my LMF II, figuring that if it could cut an airplane fuselage and helicopter canopy and all the stuff it advertises, then I might as well give it a try. I jammed the knife as hard as I could in between the door and the frame and kicked the handle as hard as I could. Pop, it opened the door. And the knife had absolutely no marks, dings, scratches or other signs of abuse.

This is a great knife.
