Leatherman

The original multi-tool, handmade in Portland, Oregon since 1983

Leatherman

In 1975, a young engineer named Tim Leatherman was touring Europe and the Middle East with his wife in a secondhand Fiat that broke down constantly, and staying in hotels with plumbing that failed just as often. Armed with only a basic pocketknife, he kept wishing for a genuine pair of pliers he could actually carry with him. In a Tehran hotel room, he sketched the idea that would become the Pocket Survival Tool, the first pliers-based multi-tool ever made.

It took eight years of rejection before Tim, together with business partner Steve Berliner, launched the PST in 1983 out of Portland, Oregon. Every Leatherman tool is still designed and built in that same Portland factory today, backed by a 25-year warranty that reflects genuine confidence in how long these tools are built to last.

What sets Leatherman apart

The original, still made in the USA

Leatherman invented the modern multi-tool category, and every tool is still designed and built at their Portland, Oregon factory, not outsourced overseas.

A genuine 25-year warranty

Few tool brands back their products this confidently. A 25-year warranty means Leatherman tools are built to be a genuine long-term investment, not a disposable gadget.

One tool, dozens of jobs

Pliers, knives, screwdrivers, saws, and hammers, all folded into a single, genuinely useful tool that replaces a scattered toolbox on the trail or at home.

Leatherman

More than pliers: saws, hammers, and everything between

It's easy to think of a Leatherman as just pliers and a knife, but the range goes well beyond that. Tools like the Signal fold a genuine saw and hammer into the same compact body, alongside a fire starter and emergency whistle, giving you real capability for camp chores and genuine emergencies alike, all from one tool that fits in your pocket.
