Leatherman was founded in the USA in the 1980s by Tim Leatherman himself. During a road trip across Europe, Leatherman regularly found himself needing a pair of pliers but couldn’t find the right tool. Upon returning home, he set about making his own multi-tool based around a plier, and the Leatherman was born.
Many technological innovations have happened since Leatherman’s founding but the ethos remains the same. The brand is famous for its pliers-based multi-tools, regarded by many as the best such tools on the market.
Leatherman Wave Multi-Tools
Leatherman’s multi-tools come jam-packed with useful kit. Often with at least 10 tools and sometimes over 20 on a single device, you’re unlikely to be found wanting with a Leatherman in your pocket.
Leatherman’s wide range of tools accommodates different priorities, from outdoor adventurers to on-site builders and home DIY-ers.
If you’re not sure where to start, check out the Leatherman Wave, one of their best-selling models. With 18 tools on the plus version including pliers, cutters and screwdrivers, this clever piece of engineering has everything you’re likely to need.
Most of the tools in the Wave are also outside accessible and lockable, making the one tool you need easy to reach without opening the whole device.
Leatherman Knives and Pocket Tools
Beyond Leatherman’s multi-tools, they also stock a range of other products and accessories perfect for outdoor adventurers and workers.
Leatherman produces a range of simple and effective pocket knives. Made with the same quality and convenience as their multi-tools, these simple pieces of kit can come in handy when out in the wild.
Leatherman’s ratchet drivers and screwdriver bit kits also help you expand the usage of your Leatherman tool even further, with different shapes compatible with most Leatherman tools.
