Here’s a quick video of me engraving a Midnight Hacker Leatherman with the laser cutter here at the Adafruit factory!
Back in stock! – Midnight hacker – Pocket electrician – The Adafruit “midnight hacker” is a Leatherman Squirt ES4 and a very handy, unique key-chain size multi-tool. The E4 sets you up with 20GA, 18GA, 16GA, 14GA and 12GA wire strippers and electrical wire cutters to handle all kinds of precise jobs. The gripping edges on the ES4’s spring-action pliers help you get a firm grasp on fuses, small cables, and many hard-to-reach items.
