– Precision from Portland – the success story of LEATHERMAN –
The origin of a classic: what began as a simple idea led to the birth of the pliers-based multi-tool. During a trip across Europe in 1975, Tim Leatherman repeatedly encountered situations where a compact, versatile tool with pliers was missing. From these experiences, the vision for a new kind of multi-tool was born. Eight years later, together with his college friend Steve Berliner, he founded Leatherman Tool Group Inc in Portland, Oregon. Today, more than 500 employees work to manufacture premium-quality multi-tools and distribute them to around 80 countries worldwide. Production remains based in Portland to this day.
– Ready for every situation: everyday life, adventure, and life at sea –
Whether loosening a stuck screw on board, carrying out a quick repair in the cockpit, or fixing a loose fitting on the trailer, these popular multi-tools are made for moments you don’t plan for—but still need the right tools. LEATHERMAN delivers exactly that: a robust pair of pliers at the core, surrounded by up to 20 additional functions—from knives and screwdrivers to wire cutters and files.
Each tool is made from high-alloy stainless steel, precision-cut, hardened, and assembled by hand. Every component serves a clearly defined purpose—no unnecessary extras, just pure functionality. The strength of the brand is especially evident in the marine environment.
