I'm trying hard to hide

Keep the sun out of my eyes

Close them tight

And now I'm waiting for the moon to rise

Belle and Sebastian ~ Waiting for the Moon

You walked through the door, nervously wringing your hands, despite your best efforts not to. Your eyes scanned the room, eventually landing on a large, grey reception desk. Sitting behind the desk was none other than Ms. Stoney, the uptight woman who had “welcomed” you onto the ship the day before.

You took a deep breath before walking over to her, waiting patiently for her to look up and address you — but she didn’t. You tried subtly clearing your throat, shifting your feet from side to side, and moving into her line of sight, but nothing seemed to grab her attention. Eventually you forced out a meek, “Hi, there!” to which she responded with an annoyed glance in your direction.

“Oh, it’s you again,” she grumbled with a mix of tiredness and disappointment.

“Uh, yeah, it is,” you smiled back, which you could tell bothered her. “I’m looking for the artist workspace? I know it’s somewhere within this department, but I wasn’t sure where exactly…”

“Artist?” she questioned, eyebrow raised.

“Yeah! Ya know, an individual who… does art?” Your attempt at an explanation was met by silence. “Umm… they’re usually covered in some sort of paint or clay, might dress a little funny, are often a little angsty, possibly tormented by some aspect of their past?” More silence. You give a strained smile; you really shouldn’t keep trying to talk over awkward silences. “Not ringing a bell, huh?”

Through clenched teeth she replied,“I believe the people you are looking for are through those doors on the left.”

She said the word people like it left a bad taste in her mouth. She obviously didn’t think too kindly of them.

“Great, thanks,” you replied, heading to the door she indicated.

You opened it, and to your surprise you saw no canvases, paint splatters, tin cans, or haphazard brushes littering the room. The walls and floors were a spotless white. A large, circular table was positioned in the center of the room, surrounded by sleek modern chairs and data pads on tripods. This didn’t look like your dad’s studio back home; a place where the remnants of unfinished projects were put on display for everyone to see and learn from. Here, you could already tell: making mistakes wasn’t an option. There was no room for error.

You returned your attention to what was in front of you, only to have three pairs of eyes meet yours.

The first pair belonged to a girl of medium height. She had long, slightly frazzled, blonde hair and piercing blue eyes that contrasted her pale skin. She jumped when you walked in, her face immediately lighting up when she saw you. The second pair belonged to a taller girl. She had warm, chestnut eyes that complemented her dark, sepia skin. Her hair framed her face in a fan of tight curls. She seemed to examine you carefully, squinting slightly, before turning back to her work. The final pair belonged to a boy of medium height. He had shaggy light brown hair and a tanned, terracotta complexion. He looked at you with curious hazel eyes, smirking ever so slightly.

The three of them looked to be about your age, somewhere in their 20's.

The blonde-haired girl ran over to you, pulling you away from your observations. “You must be the new girl!” she exclaimed. “I’m Rilea, your new best friend.”

You were taken aback by her enthusiastic and cheerful attitude; it wasn’t something you encountered very often on the Finalizer. You laughed nervously. “Oh, uhh… cool?”

The boy with the disheveled hair spoke up from the back of the room. “Don’t mind her, she has a new best friend each week.” He smirked at Rilea and she threw a box of tissues at him playfully.

“While that may be true,” she continued, turning to face you, “I can tell that you are going to be my favorite best friend.”

“That’s literally what you say to every single new person you meet,” the boy piped up again.

“For star's sake, Takoda, why do you have to be such a mudcrutch?!” Rilea shouted at him, frustrated.

You continued to observe in silence, still adjusting to the rapid shift of atmosphere in this room compared to the rest of the Finalizer.

You moved to go sit, finding an open seat next to the quiet, curly-haired girl. You gave her a small smile when you sat down, and she returned the favor, scooting her chair over to give you more room. Rilea, and the boy whose name apparently was Takoda, continued to argue like a couple of four year olds.

“Are they always like this?” you asked the girl seated next to you.

“Yup, pretty much,” she replied. “That is, of course, in between the times when they aren’t getting any work done… and the times when they still aren’t getting any work done.”

You laughed. “Well, at least one person here seems to have a level-head.”

“Make that two,” she said, giving you a smile. “My name is Akilah. What’s yours?”

You told her your full name before giving her your nickname, Wren, as well.

“Wren…” she pondered. “Not as in Kylo Ren, right?”

“No, no, no, stars, no,” you emphasized. “It’s the name of a- ” You paused, reconsidering. “I actually don’t know where it comes from, my friends just started calling me by it one day...”

Akilah stared at you intently for a few moments before Takoda shouted over at the two of you.

“Hey, you two aren’t gossiping about us now, are ya?”

You sighed, “Nope, just getting to know Akilah here.”

Rilea poked her head out from behind Takoda, “She's my best friend too!”

You mentally face-palmed and turned to fully face the group.

“So, this is the artist workspace?” you questioned, skeptically.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, I wouldn’t go that far as to say we are artists,” said Takoda.

You were confused. “But I thought-”

“You thought wrong. Here, you just follow the rules and instructions laid out for you. We are given colors, words, and images, and it’s simply our job to assemble it all into a neat poster or flyer for distribution.”

“Oh…” you replied, disappointed.

“I’m not even an artist,” he continued. “They just stuck me here after I was medically discharged from the trooper program. For the most part, everyone in this sector just got placed here because there was nothing else they could do”

“So why did they bother hiring me then?” you questioned. “If I’m gonna be honest, I’m used to a little more creative freedom back home. They could’ve chosen anyone for this job.”

“I don’t know,” Takoda replied. “Maybe they want their propaganda to look good for a change.” He smirked.

“Where did you say you were from again, bestie?” Rilea asked.

“Oh, I didn’t,” you replied. “I’m from Lothal.”

Immediately, each member of the team looked at each other, worried.

“Lothal…” Rilea repeated. “That’s one of the Order's targeted planets right now. I have a feeling that pretty soon we'll be distributing posters there. Maybe Hux thinks you can help reason with the people there?”

“Yeah, that makes sense,” Akilah added. “First Order propaganda would be a lot easier to accept coming from a fellow citizen.”

You pondered their words. What they were saying was probably true: you were simply a tool to be used by the First Order. They didn’t care about your talent or passion; they just needed your image.

“Well, I don't know how helpful I'd be on that front,” you sighed, pausing. “So what is the project you are working on now?”

“We’ll know soon enough,” said Takoda. “Our fourth member should be returning soon with our new assignment.”

“Fourth member?” you questioned.

At that moment, the door swung open with a dramatic bang, revealing a tall, lanky boy with jet black hair and evergreen eyes. He was pale with light freckles speckling his face and arms. His eyes narrowed when they met yours, scrutinizing your presence.

“Look, here he is, ‘fun-sized Kylo’ himself,” Takoda quipped.

Rilea leaned towards you. “He claims that he adopted the whole ‘tormented soul, dramatic hair’ look before Ren even thought of it,” she snickered.

You were confused, but luckily Akilah came to your rescue.

“This is Soren,” she explained. “Our fourth member… Well, fifth, now.”

“Oh!” you replied, stretching out your hand for him to shake. “It’s nice to meet you I’m -”

“Irrelevant,” he interrupted bluntly, briskly brushing past you to sit at the back of the room.

You stood there, hand still outstretched, looking to the others for guidance.

Takoda spoke first, turning to face Soren. “Hey, laser brain, why don’t ya try being a little nicer to our newest member.”

“This is our newest member?” he responded, disapprovingly. “She doesn’t look like the First Order’s finest.”

“That’s because I’m not,” you interjected, defensive. “I’m from Lothal originally. Today is technically my first day with the Order.”

At the mention of your home planet, Soren visibly tensed, his fingers curling into tight fists. The other three looked nervously at each other; they knew something you didn’t.

Akilah, again, interrupted the tense silence. “We should probably get to work… What’s the new assignment Sor?”

Hearing her voice, he seemed to relax a little, pulling out a few papers with various sketches and color swatches.

“They want us to design posters directed at the people of Dantooine. The First Order is currently working to establish a blockade on the planet. It is our job to convince the natives to submit, while also showing them that they have the ability to contribute their own assets to our cause.”

You frowned, unsure of a few posters' ability to do such a thing. You were familiar with Dantooine; its history was deeply rooted in rebel allegiance. You doubted that a few pieces of paper could somehow shift the ingrained attitudes of thousands of people. But then again, you were an artist. And as an artist, it was your job to put blind faith into your work, simply hoping that others could see what you saw in it.

“How successful has this First Order propaganda been in the past?” you asked, genuinely curious.

Takoda laughed. “Not very. Usually, it just makes the citizens more angry. But that kind of works in favor of the Order: as soon as the rebels and their sympathizers become violent, whatever happens to them at the hands of the Order is then justified, so to speak.”

“What would happen if we tried to mix things up a bit? Like attempting a different style, color scheme, or whatever it may be, to make the posters more effective?” you suggested.

Suddenly serious, Takoda spoke. “No. We don’t do anything without the Order’s permission. Never. That’s our number one rule. We can mess around and make jokes all we want in here, but whatever finished product leaves this room has to be exactly what was requested of us.”

Something in Takoda’s voice made it seem like there was history behind this rule — history that didn't conclude with a happy ending. Looking around the room, you knew you were right. Everyone, except for Soren, was avoiding your gaze, choosing to stare at their shoes or the floor. Soren continued to bore into you with a death-glare, but your instincts told you he was like this with everyone and not to take it too personally.

“Yeah, I get it,” you responded. Soren looked at you sceptically. “Trust me, you have nothing to worry about. I’m on my last warning with General Hux — another mistake will pretty much guarantee my head a new home in the trash compactor.”

“Speaking of Hux, we are to report to him tomorrow with drafts,” Soren finally spoke up.

“Tomorrow?!” Rilea exclaimed.

“Yup,” Soren replied, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Of course he would pull something like this, giving us less than 24 hours notice...” Rilea muttered, irritated.

“Stars, I swear that man is 90% petulant child, 7% attempted scariness, and 3% toupee,” you responded.

This earned a chuckle from the group. Even Soren managed a smirk.

“Yeah, well, sadly, that petulant child has a big red button sitting under his bony finger that can destroy entire planets in the blink of an eye,” said Akilah, quietly. “So, we should probably get to work.”

“She’s right,” you say, desperate to end any talk of Hux. “Let’s start.”

And with that, the five of you began work on what was your first official project on the Finalizer. Akilah showed you how to accurately read the diagrams that the Order had provided. Rilea and Takoda attempted to work for a few minutes before devolving into yet another tissue paper fight. Soren sat quietly in the corner, working on the new project, glancing up every now and then at you and Akilah.

Despite the hectic menagerie of personalities that surrounded you, you were glad that you weren't stuck working with cold, robotic First Order employees like Ms. Stoney. You desperately wanted to ask your new friends about their backstories and how they came to be “artists” on the Finalizer, but Takoda and Rilea were busy stuffing tissues in each other’s ears, and Akilah and Soren seemed like the ‘work in silence’ types. You decided to settle with your own thoughts for now; it wasn’t as if you were lacking them.

It occurred to you that tomorrow you would have to face Hux again, the memory of what he sneered at you in the hallway this morning still fresh in your mind: Strike two.

You didn’t know what strike three would involve, but you definitely didn’t want to find out.

Unfortunately, you didn't get that lucky.

This post brought to you by Leatherman. The content and opinions expressed below are that of ADAPT Network.

A travel-friendly wearable multi-tool—that’s the Leatherman Tread in a nutshell. When I was first introduced to the device, I was fascinated by the concept and eager to take it for a test-drive. Will the Tread become another forgotten gadget, or does it have the versatility to be used, as Leatherman puts it, ‘Anytime, Anywhere’?

What is it?

The Leatherman Tread is designed to be a multi-tool that you can take, by wearing it, everywhere you go. That includes on flights—that’s right, the Tread is TSA-friendly!

For Leatherman President and Tread creator, Ben Rivera, the inspiration behind this unique multi-tool originated on a trip to Disneyland with his family. He was stopped by security for carrying a regular multi-tool and had to take it back to his hotel room before being allowed into the park.

Rivera recounts that:

I was stopped at the gate by security for carrying what they thought was a knife, when what they had actually seen was my Leatherman Skeletool. I was unwilling to give it up, so they made me take it all the way back to my hotel room. I knew there had to be another way to carry my tools with me that would be accepted by security.

Taking this experience back to the Leatherman team, Rivera set about designing a bracelet that would carry much of the usefulness of a multi-tool, in a friendlier form. The Leatherman Tread was born.

The Tread packs 29 different tools into its nine links and clasp. These include a pick/sim card tool, a cutting hook, hex (allen) drivers, box wrenches, flat-head and philips screwdrivers, a carbide glass breaker, and a bottle opener (in the clasp). The bracelet also squeezes in a square driver, an oxygen tank wrench and a socket adapter (which forms part of the clasp mechanism and allows the Tread to be used with a socket set).

That’s very impressive, given that this all fits on your wrist. If that’s not enough, you can now add to this tool list with extra links from Leatherman. At the moment, these include more specialised tools like torx drivers, but further links may be added in the future.

First impressions

At first glance, you wouldn’t think that the Leatherman Tread packs so many tools into its design. It looks just like a high quality stainless steel bracelet. High quality is the optimum word here—Leatherman has employed an expensive injection-moulded process to make each individual link from 17-4 stainless steel. The tool feels very tactile, substantial and strong, and each tool-bit looks precision crafted. It needs to stand up to a lot of abuse and high-torque forces, so Leatherman have included their 25-year guarantee. Within that time, they’ll repair or replace it if it breaks.

The Tread comes in two colours, standard stainless steel and anodised black. Both look sleek and stylish and it really comes down to personal preference.

The Tread comes in two colours, standard stainless steel and anodised black. Both look sleek and stylish and it really comes down to personal preference. It’s worth noting that after extended use the black paint will start wearing off of the black version. This will give it a contemporary worn look, which may or may not be your preferred style.

After exploring all of the links, I realised just how much thought has gone into the Tread’s design. Each link has a slight curvature, to improve the comfort and fit of the bracelet. The tool bits are also set at an angle, to their links, to continue this contour. Leatherman have thought carefully about the usability of the multi-tool, as well—the largest box and oxygen tank wrench links have strengthened sides to increase their torsional stiffness.

A nice little detail: the bottle opener icon.

I also really like the moulded engravings, on the underside of each link. These annotate what each tool is, for easier tool selection.

The Leatherman Tread also works perfectly as a watch strap. Combine this with a second complete bracelet for a complete toolkit on the go.

Out of the box, the bracelet is too big for most people’s wrists. Removing links, to fit, is an easy process. Most links are ½”, but the Tread features one ¼” link to allow for further fit refinement. Simply unscrew the pins with a screwdriver, or a coin, and you’re good to go. The hard part is deciding which tools to remove. With a bit of ingenuity, though, you can find ways of carrying these extra links. The small form-factor of each link means that they easily fit in a wallet or attach to a belt. If you purchase extra links, you could even form a second bracelet or a watch strap and wear a complete toolkit—very useful when travelling or going on a micro adventure. The ability to swap the positions of each tool, is also a nice feature—some people may like to order their tools by size or frequency of use, for example.

After removing two ½” links, the Tread fitted nicely. There is also a ¼” link for greater fit refinement.

Mike, from our gear section, joined me for the test. Whilst we had slightly different wrist sizes we both found that removing two ½” links gave the best fit. The clasp works in the same way as many watches, so putting on the Tread is a breeze.  Due to its very secure clasp, removing the bracelet is a little trickier. However, I found that there was a knack to it. After wearing the Tread for a while, I quickly forgot it was there—it felt just as comfortable as a good watch. However, it’s worth noting that the links can catch on arm hair when putting on and taking off the bracelet (potentially not an issue for women).

After wearing the Tread for a few days, it became apparent that this unique multi-tool attracts a lot of attention and is an excellent talking point. Friends have been asking me about the gadget and want to try it out for themselves.

Using the multi-tool

Due to its unique design, using the Leatherman Tread is a bit different to using a standard multi-tool. Instead of pulling out an individual tool piece from a ‘solid’ tool handle, you remove the bracelet and use it as a ‘flexible’ tool handle. This actually increases the versatility of the tool. We found that holding the tool to create a ‘right-angle’ or ‘T-bar’ handle enabled greater torque to be applied on those stubborn screws and bolts.

Day to Day Tasks

The more you wear and use the Tread, the more useful you find it. Firstly, having the tool on me at all times means that I don’t have to go rummaging for my allen key or screwdriver set whenever I need a quick fix around the house or office. Simple adjustments to the radiator or my electric guitar, for example, have previously meant that I had to go into the garage to grab my bike tool.

The cutting tool, capable of cutting through paracord, is also super useful around the house and office. We get lots of letters and packages at ADAPT and the Tread’s cutting tool is perfect for opening envelopes and cutting through parcel tape with ease.

Heavy Duty Tasks

Let’s be fair, the Leatherman Tread is not designed to replace your main toolkit. It was created as a travel-friendly multi-tool to be used on the fly. However, we wanted to test the limits of each tool piece and so put the Tread through its paces with some tougher tasks.

We found that the Tread handles general screwdriver and hex (allen) driver tasks with ease. A selection of hex, flat-head, and philips screwdrivers (with the option of purchasing extra torx links) is enough for most scenarios. However, due to the shallow depth of the tool bits, the Tread cannot reach screws that sit much deeper than flush. Additionally, there are no small precision screwdrivers included, for those sunglasses and laptop screws.

The high build quality is clear—after extended use, the drivers still show no signs of rounding off. The ability to manipulate the handle into different positions is also useful, and enables higher torque to be applied, for stubborn screws and bolts. Impressively, the bracelets’ strong links means that it can handle these high forces.

The ability to remove links, means that you can use a hex or screwdriver link along with a box wrench link, together, to undo and fasten bolts without requiring an additional tool.

The box wrenches are an excellent use of space, sitting within each link. We found that they can be used effectively in most situations that require a wrench/spanner. However, there are some tight spots that the rectangular link won’t fit into and a more specialised tool would be needed.

The ability to remove links, means that you can use a hex or screwdriver link along with a box wrench link, together, to undo and fasten bolts without requiring an additional tool. This is a clear advantage over a traditional multi-tool, where tools pieces are not detachable from the main body. While removing links, in this way, takes a little time—it only requires a coin and would be a real ‘life-saver’ if you didn’t have any other tools with you when travelling or camping.

Outdoor Activities and Adventure

The Leatherman Tread is an ideal companion for outdoor pursuits and activities. Wearing the multi-tool means that it doesn’t get in the way of your activity or sport.

The carbide glass breaker is also a nice addition. While I hope I will never have to use it, I know that I can use the Tread to smash safety glass, if required on an adventure.

Again, the Tread was able to handle most tasks with ease—from securing a camera tripod adapter to adjusting the height of my mountain bike’s front derailleur.

I was able to use the Tread in conjunction with my skate tool, to make the task easier—so it was still useful to have on me.

However, it did have trouble fitting into small spaces and doesn’t come with all the tools I needed for some tasks. When working on my longboard, for example, the Tread’s rectangular links wouldn’t reach the truck bolts and the largest box wrench was too small for the kingpin. To be fair, though, this is a particularly tricky task that most wrenches/spanners would struggle with, and therefore requires a specialised skate tool. In the end, I was actually able to use the Tread in conjunction with my skate tool, to make the task easier—so it was still useful to have on me.

I was even able to use the Tread to attach the fins to my surfboard.

Since the Tread is made from stainless steel, it won’t rust—so the multi-tool can be used in the water, for sports such as surfing and diving. Surprisingly, I was even able to use the Tread to attach the fins to my surfboard. The width of the bracelet means that you can’t screw the fin lock-screws in one continuous motion, but it does the job. I’ve actually had to ask a fellow surfer for a fin key, when I forgot mine at the beach. Now, as long as I have my Tread with me, I know I will always have a backup.

Pros:

Excellent build quality: The strong, hard steel is a great choice—giving you tools that will withstand abuse and high torsional force.

Stylish, wearable form: The Tread looks great and is the perfect talking point among friends. It’s comfortable to wear and doesn’t get in the way of outdoor and sports activities. It’s always with you when you need it.

Well thought out tool set: Every inch of the Tread is useful and packs a good selection of tools. The ability to purchase more specialised links is an added bonus.

Surprisingly versatile: Whilst it does have its limits, the multi-tool can be used for many tasks. The ‘flexible’ handle means that you can adjust your grip depending on the task.

Travel-friendly: The Tread multi-tool is TSA-friendly and, therefore, you can literally take it wherever you go.

The ability to remove links with a coin easily: The ability to use a hex or screwdriver link along with a box wrench link means that you can undo and fasten bolts without requiring an additional tool. If you didn’t have any other tools with you, when travelling or camping, this would prove extremely valuable.

Cons:

Having to give up tools to make the bracelet fit: Having to lose tools when removing links, for fit, is not great. However, with a bit of ingenuity, you can find ways of carrying these extra links.

Doesn’t fit hard to reach places: You may need to resort to a specialised tool for some hard to reach screws and bolts. To be fair, the Tread is not designed for this.

It’s not a traditional multi-tool: Leatherman’s traditional multi-tools may be more effective with hard to reach screws and bolts, and with some heavier-duty tasks. Additional tools, like a knife, pliers and scissors are just useful things to have. Of course, traditional multi-tools are not as travel-friendly.

Overall

Overall the Leatherman Tread is a surprisingly capable and versatile multi-tool that can be adapted to suit your requirements. It’s a completely unique wearable device, that’s extremely well built and looks great.

While it can’t replace your main toolkit, and you will find it hard to use in some situations, the Tread provides a function that nothing else can. The fact that the Tread is TSA-friendly is reason enough to check out this multi-tool bracelet. You can be sure to find plenty of usefulness out of its stylish design and to get plenty of attention from friends, wanting to try it out for themselves.

The Leatherman Tread is definitely a tool I will be wearing during my day-to-day, ready to use ‘Anytime, Anywhere’!
