Reviews

Hood EDC

"A good design for EDC, the sidekick is lighter than most designs. The file and serrated blade are 1/2 length, the master pivot is a simpler design than most. Mine has coloring on one side and polished stainless on the other side. I like it for less challenging projects. Mine was a Costco item, the master pivot has a little play side to side."

— Keith C. (4/5)

Would buy again!

"I love the Sidekick. It's the perfect size, and I love that the knife is accessible without fully opening the pliers. I did a lot of research on the website before making my decision and I'm so glad I did. The 'compare' option ended up helping me choose the perfect tool for me!"

— Taylor G. (5/5)

Works great

"I love my sidekick. I also bought a micra with it. I use them both at work everyday in some capacity. I work at an industrial fan company lab department and it's perfect for wiring temperature detectors, cutting rope, using the screwdrivers to tighten screws on motors etc."

— Dustin M. (5/5)

This tool truly lives up to its name: Sidekick.

"Perfect everyday tool. I’ve trusted this brand for over 25 years, and the Sidekick has been my daily companion for the last 6. My employees carry one, and even my grandsons already have theirs engraved with their names."

— roman r. (5/5)

Missing items- no response from customer care

"I love Leathermanand can't live without my side kick multi tool. I have ordered several of their customized knives as gifts and id give all those experiences 5 stars. However this December, I ordered a custom knife and couple sharpeners as a Christmas gift and stocking stuffers. When it arrived one of the sharpeners that I ordered and paid for wasnt in the box. I have written to customer service several times with no response. . ."

— PAIGE T. (1/5)

Love it

"Use it daily and it hasn’t let me down yet"

— Leroy C. (5/5)

Perfect size

"The sidekick (and very similar Wingman) is the perfect balance of size and usefulness. Only the tools you need to keep the size and weight down. This is a high quality tool! I had a Wingman that I carried with me everywhere for 15 years, and it was still in great shape, but I misplaced it. I bought a Sidekick as a replacement, and it is perfect for me. I had it customized and it looks great!"

— Peter S. (5/5)

Great EDC multi tool

"I have had my sidekick for 8 years and it is one of my favorite multi tools I’ve owned, and my standout favorite for EDC. It’s reasonably sized and doesn’t weigh too much to carry on your belt. I found most of the tools routinely useful, especially the spring loaded pliers/wire cutter. Overall a great tool."

— Devon J. (5/5)

It was gifted

"I gifted this knife to a colleague, so I’m unable to give a review. I’m sure it is great, and I know my coworker was excited to receive it."

— Ryan M. (5/5)

Sidekick multitool w / sheath

"I own an original leatherman, which is still in great condition and works fine. I decided to buy myself an upgraded multitool ( Sidekick ) for Christmas. I'm pleased with the quality/features and am sure that it will outlast the 25 year warranty."

— Keith K. (5/5)
