TOP 4 MULTI-TOOLS FOR MOM

Instead of flowers or brunch, give Mom something she’ll use every day. To make your Mother’s Day gift shopping simple, we’ve narrowed it down to our top four Leatherman multi-tool picks.

#1

Micra®

BEST FOR KEYCHAINS
|

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Weighs less than 2 oz.
  • Features easy-to-use spring-action scissors
  • Packs a knife, screwdrivers, file, and more into a compact design
  • Available in a variety of colors (including new Cherry and Arctic Blue)
  • It’s customizable (for that personal touch)

WHO IT’S FOR:

Micra is good for everyone, not just mom. It’s practical, portable, and perfectly sized. That might be why it’s one of our most popular gifts. Available in eye-catching colorways, the Micra can be customized with words, images, and artwork. (Pro tip: making it even more special.)


WHY WE PICKED IT:

If your mom is new to multi-tools or isn’t big on carrying tools, then the Micra is the perfect choice. At less than two ounces, she will barely notice it on her keyring. But it will be there to snip loose threads, open pesky packages, or file that broken nail.


GOOD TO KNOW:

The Micra does not have a pair of pliers.

#2

Signal®

BEST FOR BACKPACKS AND BAGS
|

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Our only multi-tool that includes a ferro rod, emergency whistle, and sharpener
  • Available in 9 different colorways (so style meets substance)
  • Includes a removable pocket clip
  • One of our bestselling multi-tools

WHO IT’S FOR:

Signal is a great choice to prepare your mom for her next adventure, whether it’s camping trips or DIY projects.


WHY WE PICKED IT:

The Signal is one of most popular tools, and it’s easy to see why. It has the essentials like a combo knife, pliers, and bit driver. It also has some unique features like a ferro rod (to spark fires), knife sharpener, and emergency whistle (great for any activity that’s out on the water). This makes the Signal the perfect tool to keep in the car for emergencies or to slip in a backpack for hikes and camping trips.

Signal is available in nine different colors, so it’s easy to find one to match mom’s style. Keep it classic with the Black and Silver or Coyote Tan. Or pick a bright color like Crimson or Aqua that will be easy to find if it’s dropped on the trail.

Keep mom prepared for all life’s adventures with her very own Signal. Don’t forget the blade can be customized with a personal message or artwork.


GOOD TO KNOW:

Missing some implements found on other full-sized Leatherman multi-tools, like a file and spring-action scissors.

#3

Free® T4

THE POCKET FRIENDLY PROBLEM SOLVER
|

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Compact and lightweight
  • FREE technology for easy one-handed opening of all tools
  • Available in five colorways

WHO IT’S FOR:

For those looking to step up from a basic pocketknife and who don’t need pliers or full-size features. The T4 is easy to carry in a pocket or a purse, so it will be there when she needs it for everyday problem solving.


WHY WE PICKED IT:

Designed with everyday carry (EDC) in mind, the FREE T4 packs must-have tools into a design weighing less than 5 oz. Thanks to FREE Technology all tools lock into place with a confident, reassuring click. No risk of broken fingernails when using the FREE T4.

Of course, everything is one-hand operable (except for the removable tweezers). The FREE T4 is made from a durable combination of 420HC stainless steel and glass-filled nylon. Ideal for EDC, the FREE T4 is a high-functioning tool in a convenient, packable size.


GOOD TO KNOW:

The FREE T4 is one of the few Leatherman tools without pliers.

#4

Wave®+

BEST FOR BAGS AND THE GLOVEBOX
|

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Outside accessible blades, saw, and files
  • All tools lock in place for safety
  • Compatible with our Bit Kit Set and Bit Driver Extender for added utility
  • Widely considered the best multi-tool ever made

WHO IT’S FOR:

For the mom who needs a full-sized multi-tool that does it all. For some, the Wave Plus will be the perfect-sized EDC. For others, it might be better in a backpack or everyday carry kit.


WHY WE PICKED IT:

The Wave Plus is our all-time, international bestseller. It was designed by our CEO Ben Rivera and is one of the most beloved multi-tools in Leatherman history. If you’re looking for one multi-tool to do it all, you need not look any further than the Wave Plus.

This fan favorite traces its lineage to our original Leatherman® PST from the ‘90s. It has been updated based on years of design by our top engineers and feedback from our customers. Whether you want it as your go-to tool for every day, or just want an all-around multi-tool for (almost) anything, the Wave Plus is a favorite for a reason. Home, work, or hobby, the Wave Plus has the 18 tools to make mom a multi-task master.


GOOD TO KNOW:

Might be a bit too heavy for some people to carry in their pocket every day. Only available in stainless steel and black.
