Leatherman Kick Multi Tool - An Interesting Option That's Lightweight But Still Equipped With Useful Functions

The Leatherman Kick is the smallest of a range of three multi tools designed by Leatherman, the other models being the Fuse and the Blast.

Leatherman's Lightweight Offering, the Kick:

The Leatherman Kick benefits from plastic set into the body of the pocket tool which makes it quite a bit more comfortable to clasp than the previous PST and PST II models. The Leatherman Kick is a much welcomed addition, as anyone who has owned or made use of a PST will agree with! The set of pliers have been redesigned to maximize strength without having an impact on the pocket tool's size or shape, and seems to have worked nicely- they are peculiar to look at for those that are used to other variations, on the other hand this is a tool, not a fashion parade, and they perform.

The Leatherman Kick also includes a phillips screwdriver, can/bottle opener, 2 flathead screwdrivers, and a clip- point blade. The tool assortment may be bare on this one, although remember, it is the smallest of the three products. The plus side is that the tools (primarily the screwdrivers) seem to be a little better than other multi's - the shafts are somewhat longer, giving slightly more versatility than you might be used to, and a better chance at difficult to access screws. It's a small issue, but it really does add up - to a lot when it's the one tool you have with you and the screw is buried inside of something.

Leatherman Kick - Includes an Extended Screwdriver

Without a doubt, the Kick is a decent tool, but it does have it's negatives. Due to it's light weight, the Kick feels flimsy. As it is backed by Leatherman's 25 year warranty, it is very well engineered, although compared to several different tools both greater in size and smaller, it doesn't seem to be quite as robust. Also, it may come across as a little small to people with large hands.

Most importantly, even with the low number of tools on the product, it still suffers from Leatherman's infamous curse, tool clumping. How can it be, that a handle with as few as 3 tools in it, all pull out each time you try to get only one? With revised designs of multi tools, this problem should be a distant memory.

The Leatherman Kick is good value for money, but not a good choice for a regular user or a bigger person. I would say it is better suited as a small tool for a lady's handbag or as a young persons first tool. It could be seen as a "cute" tool for those folks that occasionally need tools and like to be prepared.
