A multi-tool is a gift like no other. People are surprised how often they use it in everyday life and might never forget the time they used it to save the day in ways big and small. These four picks are all lightweight and easy to use. We know you’ll find a Leatherman for everyone on your list, no matter your budget. Every Leatherman multi-tool is backed by our standard 25-year warranty.
