The original multi-tool

Leatherman was the first of its kind, creating a category of products that have kept people prepared for both the expected and unexpected for over 40 years.

The tools you trust

Leatherman multi-tools are made to withstand all conditions and tasks they encounter. Hand-assembled in the Oregon, USA factory, every handle, jaw, screwdriver, knife and saw is carefully crafted, leaving no detail unfinished. This results in products people can depend on for their own jobs, emergencies, simple fix-its, and random challenges—making it easy for Leatherman owners to live up to the company’s motto—for real life.

The legend of Leatherman

The legend that is the Leatherman brand began in 1976, when Tim Leatherman took his wife on a car trip through Europe. Plagued by fix-it situations like leaky hotel-room pipes and a Fiat with a cranky engine, Tim created a cardboard prototype for the ultimate pocket survival tool.  Seven years and a great deal of hard work later, that prototype became the first Leatherman multi-tool.

Leatherman FREE - a new generation of multi-purpose tools

With an evolved design that feels at home in your hand, the FREE incorporates the first-of-its-kind, magnetic architecture which makes it easier for you to open, handle and close the tools without using your fingernails. The magnetic internal system also reduces wear and tear, making FREE tools even more durable.
