Bring Back the Leatherman Sideclip Multi-tool

Recently, I saw online that someone was calling on Leatherman to begin remanufacturing the Sideclip multi-tool.

If you have read my previous post on the Leatherman Sideclip, then you know that the Sideclip is probably my favorite Leatherman tool to date.

As much as I would like to see it’s reintroduction, I have doubts about Leatherman’s ability to make the Sideclip with the same quality and at the same price point in 2008, judging from their current offerings.  

What is feasible though, in my opinion, is for Leatherman to develop a smaller and thinner version of the Wave, following the minimalistic design of the Sideclip.  

Ideally, it would have the same tools as the original Sideclip but possibly featuring the tool-bit driver and a one-hand deployable knife blade without opening the tool.  

Of course, an integral pocket clip is mandatory.

I feel that such a tool would fill a niche in Leatherman’s multi-tool line up for those people that everyday carry a multi-tool but have no need for their larger products.

It would also be nice if Leatherman could omit the security Torx fasteners.
