Leatherman Multi-tool

Founded in 1983 by Timothy S. Leatherman and Steve Berliner, the Leatherman Tool Group is an iconic American brand that pioneered the 'pocket survival tool.' The concept was born from Tim's need for a tool with pliers during a budget trip through Europe in the 1970s. Since its inception, the brand has become synonymous with high-quality, versatile hand tools used by DIY enthusiasts, professionals, and military personnel worldwide.

Leatherman is uniquely committed to its roots, maintaining its primary manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon. While the brand takes great pride in being 'American Made,' they transparently disclose that some individual components are sourced globally from countries like Switzerland and Mexico to ensure the highest performance standards before being assembled and finished in the United States. To this day, the company remains a private entity, owned by the Leatherman family and employees, ensuring that its founding principles of ingenuity and durability continue to drive its product development.
