Many of us have been gifted a multitool: a flimsy, ironically impractical weight that we keep on our car keys and rarely put to good use. Leatherman provides multipurpose tools that make a difference and have been well-loved by hardworking, hands-on enthusiasts for generations. We checked out all of Leatherman’s gift guides to bring you our top picks from each one; read more to find the last-minute gift for anyone that can do anything. 

Everyday Multitool Carry: The Leatherman Skeletool CX 

Coming in first from their Everyday Carry Gift Guide, we’re going classic with the Skeletool CX. The Skeletool is a light multitool with essential capabilities, featuring a pocketknife, pliers, bit driver, wire cutters, and more. Plus, it is made from premium 154CM stainless steel for corrosion resistance and toughness. Clip it to your belt or backpack, or keep it on a keychain or in your toolbox — the Skeletool is the namesake of the Leatherman Tool’s reputation for a reason!

Pro Multitool Gift Guide: The Leatherman Surge 

The Surge is on the Pro Gift Guide for a reason, providing heavy-duty multipurpose capability while staying true to the compact Leatherman design. While the Surge may be too much for a pocket carry, it’s a great gift choice for those who are often at their workbench or on site. It features one-handed easy access to a knife blade, scissors, file, saw, and more. The blade in the Surge is a sizeable 3.1 inches and is fitted with a unique blade exchanger: a t-shank adapter that can accept standard t-shank blades, allowing you to customize the tool for the task at hand.

Gifts for First Timers: The Leatherman Micra 

The Leatherman Micra does what all those cheap multitools were intended for, except better and in a way designed to be kept for years to come. Perfect for someone just getting into hiking, hunting, woodwork and more, this is our top pick from the First Timer Gift Guide. The Micra weighs in at less than 2oz and includes ten helpful tools, including spring action scissors, a knife, screwdrivers, and file. Additionally, this compact keychain attachable tool comes in a variety of fun collectable colors as well.

Adventurer Gifts: The Leatherman Signal

While other multitools feature a variety of useful blades and files, the Signal focuses more on survival necessities, making it our pick from the Adventure Gift Guide. The Signal is the only Leatherman tool to include a ferro rod, emergency whistle, and blade sharpener in addition to your standard plier-based multitool functions. The Signal is a great gift for someone who frequently finds themselves starting campfires, hammering tent stakes, and is always on the go in the great outdoors. Available in a multitude of colors, you can find the best fit for the adventurer on your gift list.
