The Leatherman Super Tool 300 is premier gadgetry in the palm of your hand. With 19 tools, it covers the array of gear you need for just about any project. And at 4.5 inches closed, it’s the perfect everyday carry tool that doesn’t feel too bulky in your pocket. Whatever the task, the Super Tool has your back….unless you’re trying to use scissors. In that case, it will leave you cold in the dark. That’s because of all the tools present in the Leatherman, scissors ain’t one. Really, that’s the only MAJOR con. The only other real call out is it’s kind of hard to clean because of how much is packed into such a small space – but it’s really not too bad.

Craftsmanship
Leatherman built an insanely tough pair of pliers with the Super Tool 300. The grip has a slanted tip so you can navigate in small spots. Even with gloves on, it is simple to grab various parts thanks to the wide side cutouts. Standard wire cutters include stranded, hard, and normal varieties. These are detachable, you can quickly repair or sharpen them.
Forged from 420HC and 154CM stainless steel, it’s not surprising Leatherman offers a 25 year guarantee.
