★★☆☆☆
Вместо запаянного в пластик ножика с инструкцией, вы получите его в открытом пакете, с отпечатками пальцев каких-то людей. Ввезен в РФ какой-то OOO "омега тул", ВВЦ, стр.323. Открывается плохо. Закрывается еще хуже.

Прекрасный нож, отличное качество сборки и отличная сталь и хорошая заточка! Всем хорош! Недостатков не выявил!

Вещь, которая всегда и везде пригодится. Вроде бы трудно даже это мультитулом назвать, ведь здесь есть только нож с серрейтором и плоскогубцы, но, как оказывается, 80 процентов работы можно выполнить только этим инструментом. Притом фристайл помещается в карман для зажигалки на джинсах. Наверное, одна из самых удачных моих покупок

★★★★★
Качественный и добротно изготовленный инструмент. Ножик открывается одной рукой.

★★★★★
Инструмент очень качественный и удобный, при этом небольшой, лёгкий и не мешает при постоянном ношении.

Leatherman is a trademark for a line of multitools and knives produced by the Leatherman Tool Group. A Leatherman tool is essentially a pair of pliers with other tools stored in the handles, and generally includes a knife, pliers, screwdriver and assorted other devices. Some tools from Leatherman have as many as 20 tools and weigh up to 12.5 ounces, while others are smaller than a Swiss Army knife and weigh as little as 1.8 ounces.
Tool description
These are generally chosen for the following qualities:* compact and light (suitable to wear in a belt holster in some applications)* constructed as a single piece with various moving parts, so one component is not lost while using another (except for the New Wave, Surge, and all Charge models, Skeletool and Skeletool CX which all have two-sided removable screwdriver bits)* when collapsed for storage, relatively smooth and blunt compared to the equivalent discrete tools, thus reducing frequency of damage to items stored along with it.
Most models of the Leatherman brand have a built-in safety mechanism that locks selected tools in the open position when fully unfolded. Different models have various methods for unlocking the tools. In older models that use "clumping" locks, one of the other tools has to be partly unfolded to release the first one; if all the tools of this model were to be fully unfolded simultaneously, then an external tool might be needed to unlock them. In 1998, Leatherman used its first button lock on the Crunch tool, allowing each tool to be refolded. In 1999, Leatherman began using liner locks on the blades of the Wave tool, which allowed it to be accessed without unfolding the entire tool.
The method in which the pliers are exposed is similar to that of the butterfly knife.
In 2005, Leatherman added knives to their product line including straight and serrated-edged blades. Leatherman introduced its first pruner gardening tool in 2006.
Company history
The Leatherman Tool Group was founded by Timothy S. Leatherman, a 1970 graduate of Oregon State University who majored in mechanical engineering. According to a December 101981 column written by Bill Monroe in "The Oregonian", Leatherman came up with the idea of a "Boy Scout knife with pliers" during a 1975 driving tour of Europe with his wife, when he was unable to use his pocket knife to fix his repeatedly malfunctioning car.
Leatherman spent several years perfecting his prototype, getting his first patent in 1980. He also spent those early years refining his sales model. He originally expected that industrial companies with large staffs of technicians would be his target customer, but attempts to sell the tool to companies such as AT&T failed. It was only after following the advice of a contact at the Early Winters catalog company to simplify his product that sales began to grow. It was mail-order catalog companies such as Early Winters and Cabela's that gave Leatherman his first significant sales.

История возникновения и становления бренда мультитулов Leatherman Лезерман широко известна интересующейся публике и имеет немало вариантов. Мы опишем некий усредненный, хотя многие не увидят в нем ничего нового.
мультитул Leatherman Freestyle
мультитул Leatherman Freestyle
История легендарных американских инструментов началась в 1975 году в ...Европе, во время десятимесячного семейного путешествия на Фиате. Старая машина, а также случай с починкой водопровода в отеле сподвигли Тима Лезермана, отца-основателя фирмы, на размышление о чем либо универсальном. Бойскаутский нож, молоток и пасатижи конечно неплохой набор подручных инструментов, но и далеко не самый лучший.
мультитул Leatherman Freestyle
Тим Лезерман, уроженец штата Орегон, получил степень бакалавра после окончания университета в 1970 году. Он работал и преподавателем английского языка, и механиком по обслуживанию вертолетов. Техническое образование и широта мысли позволили ему выдвинуть концепцию карманного мультиинструмента - все в одном. Но это, естественно не произошло одномоментно.
Первоначально был разработан и несколько лет совершенствовался прототип мультитула -"Mr. Crunch ", который и был запатентован в 1980 г. в США. Но первым коммерческим продуктом стал инструмент ПСТ, PST - Pocket Survival Tool. Это произошло в 1983 году. Тогда же совместно с Стивом Берлинером была организована и Leatherman Tool Group. Отличительные особенности инструмента - убирающиеся в ручки пасатажи, совмещенные с кусачками, в комплекте со складными лезвиями, отвертками, открывалками и пр. окончательно оформились и были воплощены в серийном образце. Первые продажи мультитулов PST пошли через почтовые каталоги Early Winters и Cabela, причем без особого успеха. Однако, уже в 1984 году было продано около 30 тысяч инструментов.
Достигнутые успехи были закреплены и фирма Тима Лезермана стала динамично расширяющемся предприятием. Производственные мощности размещены в городе Портленд, штата Орегон. Там же в 2007 году был открыт первый розничный магазин. Производство мультитулов не единственное направление компании. В 2006 году в ассортименте продукции появились складные ножи, а в 2006 охотничьи и садовые секаторы. С 2008 года начался выпуск светодиодных фонарей Serac. Также компания выпускает специальную линию для использования в армии и правоохранительных органах.
К настоящему моменту Leatherman Tool Group производит 46 продуктов, которые продаются в 86 странах, причем больше половины в США.
Сейчас коммерческое название Лезерман стало нарицательным, а слова Супертул, Вейв или Чардж известны каждому школьнику. Мультиинструменты в настоящее время выпускает немало фирм: Викторинокс, Венджер, Гербер и другие известные бренды, еще больше всяких "ноунеймов" китайского или еще какого производства, но основателем и создателем самого класса мультитулов является Тим Лезерман, а эталоном качества - изделия одноименной фирмы. Не даром же на вопрос о качестве продукции г-н Лезерман сказал: "На каждом инструменте стоит мое имя"!
