I feel slightly disappointed. A big advantage is the saw. If the knife, saw, screwdriver, and bottle opener had a bit socket lock, it would be perfect. Unfortunately, this feature is missing, and I know it's possible to implement.

This is already the second edition of the Armbar. It's a great combination of a pocket knife with a screwdriver for popular 1/4 inch bits, which you can buy everywhere and very cheaply. If the screwdriver also had a frame lock, I'd rate it five stars. Maybe we'll see that in the third version. I hope Leatherman is following the comments and taking into account the feedback regarding the Amp model's functionality.

Gerber took users' feedback into account, eliminated the shortcomings of the previous version, but unfortunately created a multitool that's a bit worse than the first generation Armbar. Still, it's a very good knife, in my opinion the best in its class. However, after attaching the clip, it became noticeably wider and heavier, and the blade and other tools open with a lot of resistance, which makes one-handed use difficult. A positive is the screwdriver lock while working, although it's still too weak.
