The latest Leatherman Super Tool 300 has in excess of a decade of compiled buyer feedback and engineering know-how in every feature. Every one is engineered to address the user who demands strength, quick access to tools, and comfort for tough tasks.

Arguably the most crucial function of the ST300; the pliers have been optimized for strength. In order to maintain the balance of materials when making room for the innovative removable wire cutters, extra steel was added to key areas, making them the beefiest pliers Leatherman has created. In addition the neck of the pliers is sloped for easy operation within tight spaces.

Cutting wire-regular, stranded, or hard-is a normal application on the job. When constant, heavy pressure is used, cutters occasionally become dented and dull, causing the pliers to stick and jam up. By making the regular/hard-wire cutters removable they can be sharpened or replaced on the spot (replacement cutters available separately). Further to this, by optimizing the heat treatment procedure and replacing the regular stainless steel with premium 154CM the wire cutters will keep an edge as much as three times as long for the highest durability.

The thought of "clumping" was originally launched with the first Super Tool. By pulling on only one tool, you would also get others from the handle at once, including the knives. To enhance safety, the new ST300 has just that, "Edge-safety Clumping". If you pull on one of the two knifes they are the only features that will come out. Conversely if you pull on any of the other features the sharp-edged ones stay where they were.

The ST300 straight blade is hollow ground for easy sharpening. Screwdrivers are in the sizes DIY enthusiasts use most and are also hollow ground for a better fit. The handles are rounded for comfort and have cut outs on the side to instantly open blades when wearing oversized work gloves. The locks on the ST300 have been toughened to ensure total engagement when the features are under heavy use.

ST300 is available immediately and supplied with Leatherman's market leading, 25 year warranty. Leatherman Store is displaying the retail price as £91.95 for the stainless steel model and £105.95 for the black oxide version with a cap crimper.

History of the Super Tool:

The original Leatherman Super Tool was released n 1994. The first multi tool of its size and strength, it was an immediate triumph selling in excess of one million units in the first two years alone. In 2001 design changes were made and the Super Tool 200 was launched. The new ST200 featured moon shaped locks on the handle sides, as opposed to the original all-in-one locking system. Owners still raved about the tool's strength and many applications, but the locks and "clumping" were not as user-friendly as they could have been. Enter the Core.

In 2005 Leatherman changed the ST200 putting new locks on the back sides of the handles and removing with "clumping". The jaws were also improved for toughness and the new tool was labeled the Core. Without realising the demand for this new tool and how quickly it would be adopted for every day use on job sites the world over, the lock design and tool accessibility was not as good as it could be. Go forward to 2009 and the Super Tool 300. This all new design, created for heavy-duty, on-the-job use is certain to find its place in tool belts, gear boxes, saddle bags, MOLLE vests, and center consuls the world over.
