Leatherman Tool FAQ

Where does the Leatherman name come from?

Our tools bear the name of company president Tim Leatherman, who invented the original Pocket Survival Tool, now known as the PST.

Why should I buy a Leatherman tool?

Tim Leatherman’s standards for quality, durability, precision and attention to detail are what make Leatherman tools like no other. Ever since Tim invented the category, they’ve focused on just one thing — manufacturing the world’s highest quality multi-purpose tools.

My tool broke. How do I get it repaired?

Easy. Please refer to our Warranty section for instructions on submitting a warranty claim.

What kind of steel does Leatherman use?

Leatherman tools are made of 400-series stainless steel. Carbon content and heat-treated hardness vary depending on the specific implement.

If it is made of stainless steel, why do I have rust spots on my tool?

No stainless steel is truly stainless. It would be wise to think of it as corrosion-resisting steel. Corrosion can occur in the absence of proper maintenance, particularly in extreme conditions. Please visit our Maintenance Tips section for hints on keeping your Leatherman Tool looking good and functioning well.

Can I have a different blade installed in my Leatherman tool?

Each Leatherman tool consists of a combination of features that makes it a unique multi-purpose tool. They do not alter or substitute different blade components from one tool version to another.

I accidentally locked open all the blades in one handle of my Super Tool. How can I get them unlocked?

Use a separate screwdriver or similar device to unlock the blades. With the handles closed together, insert the screwdriver into the slot created by the handle spring (where the handle locks onto the tool blades). Gently pry up the handle spring until one of the blades can be released.
