#Fishing multi tool driver

If you’re a user who appreciates a pry bar, a sister version of this tool gives you prying capability, too. Each has a plastic clip-a modern take on the nail-nic, and the tools require two hands for opening. When the tool was new, it was hard to release the tools, but they opened more easily over time. Also inside: an awl, plain edge blade, and a file. The bits are replaceable, and they’re also usable at 90°, a feature unique to this tool. It comes with a double-sided screwdriver with bits big enough to handle most tasks.

My other favorite feature: A powerful magnetic bit driver that locks securely. It saved me from dulling my regular knife blade with mundane tasks, so it stayed sharp for camping, climbing, and more. The block-shaped Lockdown-Drive has eight tools, and one of them is a replaceable Exacto blade. If you use your knife blade for a lot of box opening and lightweight cutting, you’ll love this tool as much as I did.

Weight: 7.5 ounces | Dimensions: 4 x 1.24 x 0.6 inches | Blade Length: 2.9 inches | Tools: 15 The Curl is backed by Leatherman’s 25-year warranty. The tool doesn’t have a lanyard clip, and sheaths are sold separately. When I snapped off the tip of my ice ax on a climb, I paused at a mid-route anchor and resharpened the pick so I could carry on. A bit driver and holder adds to this tool’s versatility with the option to replace the piece that’s the most likely to wear out with heavy use.Īnd while the file on some tools seems more of an emery board for smoothing a rough fingernail than a tool for sharpening metal, this tool’s file is legit. I was also impressed by the tool’s comfort while using the pliers. I loved the blade's sharpness and shape-it’s a perfect knife for camp food prep, whittling a skewer to toast a marshmallow, and trimming tent cord. It’s the most comfortable, functional leatherman for generalist use, priced to be affordable for most. The multitool also features wire cutters and strippers, a knife, bit driver and screwdriver, spring-action scissors, diamond coated and wood/metal file, can and bottle opener, awl, and ruler. Like the original Leatherman, pliers are the base of this model, sporting both needle nose and regular pliers. The Curl, which comes with 15 tools, is the most recent iteration of the tried and true tool. Tim Leatherman is credited with creating the first multitool, known as the 'Leatherman,' some 40 years ago.
