WHY BUY A LEATHERMAN?

In 1975, Tim Leatherman (totally pernickety engineer) found himself travelling through Europe with a tight budget and a cranky car. His trusty scout knife just couldn't handle the job. Tim wished he had a compact knife with full-sized pliers. Back home, he put his engineering skills to work, and after 7 years the original Leatherman tool was perfected. Why should you buy a Leatherman? Tim's standards for quality, durability, precision and attention to detail are what make Leatherman tools like no others. Ever since Tim invented the category, we have focused on just one thing - manufacturing the world's highest quality multi-purpose tools.
We are not only the original, we are the world's leaders.

TECH INFO                                                       

Steel Characteristics
Leatherman® tools are made from 100% stainless steel to provide years of dependable service. Each stainless implement is heat treated to optimal harness for its function. For example, our knives and files are typically tempered to Rockwell C 57 to achieve excellent edge retention. Our plier jaws and most screwdrivers have a Rockwell hardness of 49-53 for better durability.

Quality Standards
How is Leatherman® better quality than the rest? Look at the sharp corners on our screwdrivers, built to ANSI specifications for strength and accuracy of dimension (verified by a laser micrometer). We regularly torture test our plier jaws; they are finished and riveted so precisely, you can cut paper with the wire cutters. Even non-functional cosmetic flaws no bigger than a speck of pepper are not acceptable in any of the numerous inspections each tool must pass.
