The Multi-Tool That Started It All
Tim Leatherman's original concept was simple yet revolutionary: combine pliers with folding knives and tools to create something more versatile than the sum of its parts. That first PST (Pocket Survival Tool) launched a category that didn't exist before, proving that people needed more than just a simple pocket knife.
Today's Leatherman tools build on that foundation with precision engineering, premium materials and innovative design. Each tool undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it performs reliably, whether you're fixing equipment in the field, handling emergency repairs or tackling everyday challenges that require more than basic tools.
Iconic Models That Define Excellence
The Leatherman Wave represents the perfect balance of tools and portability. With 17 implements including needlenose pliers, wire cutters, knife, saw and scissors, it handles virtually any task you'll encounter. The outside-accessible blades mean you can deploy cutting tools without opening the main pliers, making one-handed operation smooth and efficient.
For those demanding maximum capability, the Leatherman Charge takes performance to the next level. Premium materials, enhanced ergonomics and carefully selected tools make this the choice for professionals who depend on their equipment. The S30V steel blade and titanium construction deliver durability that stands up to demanding use.
Outdoor enthusiasts gravitate towards the Leatherman Signal, purpose-built for wilderness adventures. Beyond standard multi-tool functions, it includes a fire starter, emergency whistle and diamond-coated sharpener. When you're miles from civilisation, these specialised tools can make the difference between inconvenience and emergency.
Choosing the Right Leatherman
With dozens of models available, selecting the right Leatherman depends on your specific needs. Consider how you'll use it most often. Tradespeople might prioritise pliers and wire tools, outdoors enthusiasts need saws and awls, and everyday users want balanced capability without excessive bulk.
Our comprehensive guide to Leatherman knives breaks down the key differences between models, helping you understand which tools matter most for your applications. Size, weight and tool selection all factor into finding your perfect match.
Professional and Personal Applications
Leatherman tools serve equally well in professional and personal contexts. Electricians, mechanics and field technicians rely on them for work that demands precision and reliability. The same tools excel during home repairs, outdoor adventures and emergency situations where having the right tool immediately available matters.
This versatility explains why Leatherman tools appear in tool kits, glove compartments and pockets worldwide. They're insurance against being caught without the right tool when you need it most.
