The Leatherman Tool Is A Toolbox In Your Pocket

What makes the Leatherman tool so popular? The fun gadget called Swiss Army Knife is essentially a pocket knife with tiny, fragile tools stored in the handle. On the other hand, a sturdy pair of pliers forms the basis of the Leatherman tool's arsenal. More tools such as a screwdriver, knife, and file are available in both tools. Both the Swiss knife and Leatherman's tool fold into a package only slightly larger than the base tool. Some regard the Leatherman product as sturdier with more robust tools.

The Leatherman multi-tool is compact and light. It can be carried in a pocket or in a belt holster. It is useful for performing light repair work when other tools are unavailable. The component tools are all attached to the base pliers tool, so that they are not lost while another tool is in use. There are many models of Leatherman multi-tools, and some do have removable parts as attachments.

Most Leatherman products allow you to lock each tool in place. This is a safety feature. While using the knife blade, for example, the blade is locked so that it cannot accidentally close on the user's hand. Leatherman uses similar locking mechanisms for the other tools to prevent the tool in use from moving or folding onto the user's hand during use. When not in use, the Leatherman product folds into a smooth and compact shape that is unlikely to snag on clothing.

The Leatherman Company makes many models of its popular tool. The Leatherman Kick models are sold for everyday use. The Leatherman Fuse models offer more blade selections and stronger blade locks. The Leatherman Core models feature larger and tougher tools for more demanding jobs.

Looking like some kind of ninja weapon, the Leatherman Surge model offers larger pliers and blades, with multiple files. Tool adapter kits convert your existing Leatherman multi-tool into more robust models such as the PST, PST II, Pulse, Sideclip and Super Tool/ST 200.

Many accessories and carrying sheaths are available for Leatherman's wide variety of tools. You can add hex bit drivers, saws, scissors, pocket clips, and even carrying lanyards. Keep a Leatherman tool in each car and one in the kitchen, and you will always have a miniature toolbox when you need it.
