Leatherman Multi-tool
An almost priceless item in any fisherman’s flyfishing gear collection is the Leatherman Multi-tool. Far more versatile than the well known Swiss Army knife,
Here is a review I came across talking about the “New Wave:”
The difference between a Leatherman and a cheap imitator is huge. Steel quality is measurably better, and tolerances are smaller, so your pliers really grip and your wire cutters really cut. I liked the screwdriver bit size, really slotted in tight on Phillips and slot screws.
Consider, though, that it’s a massive tool, so it’s reaches the limit (and good arguments are made for exceeding the limit) of usable size and weight, but if you wanted a tool for the work truck or to hang off your work belt “just in case”, this and a flashlight are definitely the best “just in case” tools you can own. It does come with a belt case, and the keyring is large enough to take a decent carabiner for clipping onto a belt or a work area for use.
A good fisherman’s vest should nicely accomodate this tool, even through it is hefty.
Here is a list of all the features of the Leatherman 830039 New Wave Multitool with Leather Sheath:
Multitool Capabilities:
- Needlenose pliers
- Regular pliers
- Wire cutters
- Hard-wire cutters
- Clip-point knife
- Serrated knife
- Saw
- Scissors
- Wood/metal file
- Diamond-coated file
- Large bit driver
- Small bit driver
- Large screwdriver
- Ruler (8 inches)
- Bottle/can opener
- Wire stripper
- Lanyard attachment
- Two double-ended bits
Key Tech Specs:
- Length closed: 4 inches
- Length open: 6.3 inches
- 100 percent stainless steel blades and tools
In addition, Leatherman offers a 25 year guarantee. I’m sure the cheaper substitutes can’t come close on quality.
You can purchase your Leatherman Multi-tool from Amazon.
