Anyone who does not know what a multitool is is unlikely to immediately understand what will be discussed. This is a special tool that combines carpentry and metalwork. It is a small pliers with hollow handles that fold, and other elements are inside them.
Multitool Leatherman is a leader among the rest. This is because, in fact, the idea of creating such an instrument belongs to the founder of this company, Tim Lazerman. Therefore, we can confidently say that the models of this company are standards.
A feature of the tool is its functionality, as well as auxiliary elements: they range from a knife to a corkscrew or file. Please note that there are many options with different designs.
Children's multitool Leap
For children and adolescents, the company released the multi-tool Leatherman Leap. It can be a wonderful gift for both little boys and a 16-year-old boy. An amazing “ability” of a knife is its removable blade. Incidentally, it is made of steel and has medium strength (420HC).
The nice thing is that children's multitool is not a standard set with truncated functions, but, on the contrary, it is a separately developed tool. Great attention on the part of the manufacturer is paid to safety. The sizes of the Leatherman multitool were not spared, the designers took care of them, so the item lies comfortably in the hand.
Although the knife blade is removable, you must still look after the actions of the child, because the tool contains scissors, pliers and a hacksaw.
Multitool Wave
An interesting person is quite suitable for the interesting multitool Wave. This is not about the original instrument, but its “reprint” of 2004. It has collected about 17 devices that are in a compact and convenient housing. The tool fits easily in a small pocket. Among the various devices, the Leatherman multitool contains two knives (one of them with a grooved blade), a file, an opener, a bit holder, nippers, pliers, scissors, etc.
The tool is made of stainless steel, the manufacturer also added a holder and a small case to the kit. Weighs multi-tool 230 g, dimensions: 10 x 5 cm.
Why is this model so popular for several years in a row? The thing is that it combines excellent functionality, price and availability.
Multitool Leatherman: Charge TTi Model Review
This model is quite light - its weight is 240 g. The steel used in the manufacture of the knife blade has a density of S30V. In the kit there are a couple of bit holders. In total, the tool has 19 auxiliary elements. There is a small saw, opener, screwdriver, file and scissors.
Those nippers that are installed in the multitool can be used as nippers and ordinary pliers. Charge TTi is able to shrink in size for a more compact placement, which is a significant plus. However, with the fact that there is a ring for the lace, the manufacturer does not provide a cover.
Unlike the previous Wave version, this model has the best quality blade, titanium handles, a set of bits. However, the cost is about 2-3 thousand rubles. Therefore, if there are extra funds, it is better to fork out for this multitool.
Multitool Leatherman: reviews
Before buying a multitool, most buyers think about which company and model to choose. On the one hand, I want to buy a top-end option, which everyone has heard and few have let down, and on the other hand, I don’t want to spend too much.
If you want to please yourself, a friend, brother or child with an inexpensive and decent multitool, it is better to choose a Leatherman model. Reviews about this manufacturer in most cases are positive. When ordering some tools, a flashlight is provided. According to the owners, it meets the declared characteristics of the company and in fact is able to last about 10 years.
Among the minuses, buyers highlight the fact that in some models the knife opens hard or only in the next order (after opening the pliers). The weight of such devices is too large (for manual wear), therefore, as a mobile option for everyday use, they are not very convenient.
