Description
xIn 1975, Tim Leatherman was looking for a tool that didn't exist. So, he decided to build one. Tim headed to the garage with a few sketches and an idea to create what was in his mind. Fast forward eight years and the Leatherman PST® multi-tool was born.
But during those years, Tim built, tested, broke, and engineered a host of prototypes and parts that ultimately didn't make it to production. Even the name of his patented prototype—Mr. Crunch—was changed in favor of the now-famous "Leatherman." One of the main tools was a double-pliers feature—too costly and complex for manufacturing back then.
For this inaugural Leatherman Garage release, we're combining our iconic forgotten feature with our most advanced multi-tool to date, the FREE® P4. The P4 is designed with the FREE magnetic technology that allows quick, fluid access to all 21 tools. And the double-pliers snap into place when deployed and stow away when they're not needed. We hope this product inspires new ways to fix, tinker, and solve your way out of problems, just as Tim did in his garage over 40 years ago.
