Heritage-Inspired Multitools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Leatherman Bond Multitool is Based on the Brand's First Product

— May 15, 2021 — Lifestyle
Everyday carry (EDC) multitools today are being updated with more components and functions than ever, but the Leatherman Bond multitool decides to take things in a simpler direction. The pocket tool is inspired by the first model launched by the brand back in 1983 and offers the same 14-tool layout in a design that is lightweight and easy to hold in the hand. The tool is thus perfect for EDC purists looking to get back to basics or those who might be new to the world of pocket multitools.

The Leatherman Bond multitool is priced at $50, which makes it a more accessible option when compared to other models from the brand that is sure to make it even more desirable and gift-worthy.
