The Leatherman Sidekick is the right starting point. Spring-action pliers, an outside-accessible locking blade, rounded handles that are comfortable to grip with the jaws already open, and 14 tools in a 7oz stainless steel package. It covers everything a first multi-tool needs to cover, at a price that makes sense. Backed by the same 25-year Leatherman warranty as the tools that cost three times as much. Sheath sold separately. Spring-action pliers with rounded handles — the jaws open automatically after each squeeze via an internal spring, reducing hand fatigue on repeated gripping tasks. The rounded handle profile makes holding the tool with the pliers open comfortable for extended use. Outside-accessible locking blade — the knife deploys from the closed position one-handed and locks open. The remaining tools are spring-tensioned but do not mechanically lock in the open position. Outside-accessible tools — the knife and several other implements are accessible without opening the plier handles first, for faster access to the tools used most often. 14 tools — covering everyday grip, cutting, fastening, and utility tasks. Full tool list in specifications below. Removable pocket clip — attaches for belt or pocket carry, removes cleanly if not needed. 25-year warranty — made in Portland, Oregon.
