Leatherman: Multi-Tools and Pocketknives
*Unbelievable selection *Specialty models *Reasonable pricing *Quality and durability
Made in Portland, Oregon, these tools originated the mega multi-tool with the plier as a hinge, and is like a Swiss-Army Knife on steroids. Interestingly Leatherman is the family name! Tim Leatherman has been the driving force for 25 years, and puts his name on every tool. I had thought they had just the one main tool, but I see they have dozens of multi-tools, most of which carry a 25 year warranty. They range from full-size, down to smaller versions that one would carry as a keychain, tools for military use, and even simple high-end pocket-knives with a single blade.
The models are properly named for different specialties, such as “Juice C2” for bartenders and travelers. Prepare yourself for large beautiful photos on their corporate website, as well as user-guides.
