Designed well July 21, 2008
As usual, Leatherman company designed an excellent tool. It is very convenient having a knife / saw pruning shears all in your hand at once.

Leatherman Hybrid Gardening Multitool with Nylon Sheath #830555
Fast service. Tool works great . Already used it on some pesty branches that are from a neighbor's tree. Kept running into them when I mowed. No more!!! ((:>))
Great tool for the weekend-gardener June 10, 2008
I just got this the other day and I've already put it into action. The knife looks pretty pathetic in the images on Amazon, but in reality it's sharp and very effective. The pruning shears are also excellent with a very good spring. In short, this tool has the quality you'd expect from Leatherman.
I also want to praise Amazon's delivery. I bought the tool with the Super Saver delivery option and they turned up just three days later.
Only one downside - they came with the wrong instructions. I got the "Vista" instructions by mistake. Of course it's just a couple of clicks to download the right ones from the Leatherman site.
very handy for gardening and camping June 9, 2008
I had real reservations about buying this tool. After all, the most expensive pruner at the natons biggest retailer is only about $25. But, I have to say I'm pleased. The pruners work well. I use the saw often. The knife blade is handy for opening bags of sod, or whatever. I can see where the screwdriver bits would be handy in a pinch, but I use those three things almost every time. The weeder is the only one I don't have much use for. With the saw, I even leave the handle extended (like this ___---~~~) and it works very nicely. Probably not how you should use it but it seems to work excellently.
In fact, I even took it camping. It was great for little projects! Cutting medium sized sticks for firewood, whittling wood when practicing making a "figure 4" trap, etc.
So, I'm very happy with it.
However, unlike other leathermans, it is MUCH more prone to getting dirty (obviously). I had to buy a special screwdriver so I could clean it, one like this one B001A89VGA (search for that). Anyway, if you are careful you won't need it, but I tend to be sloppy sometimes.
 Not for the daily gardener June 4, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I purchased this item recently...and returned it right away. While Leatherman offers excellent Multitools, this gardening tool is rather pathetic for anything other than extremely light use. I am an avid city gardener and purchased this product thinking I could have an all-in-one tool as I do my daily garden maintenance. However, none of the tools really measure up for any significant use. The pruners are average at best, much better bi-pass pruners can be had for less with much more comfortable handles (I concur with many of the other reviewers, the handles are terrible...not just uncomfortable, but not nearly strong enough for the job), the weeding tool is a joke! It's not long enough to pull weeds unless you practically bury the handle in the ground...and then you'd have dirt clogging up the mechanics of the tool. The saw is completely impractical, and the other tools are hardly worth mentioning. Again, I normally like Leatherman tools, my husband cannot be found without his multitool on his belt, but this simply is not up to the task of serious gardening. If all you do is EXTREMELY light work and you like gadgets, then by all means give it a whirl. However, if you are looking for useable tools in the garden, I suggest looking elsewhere.
