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







The Leatherman Kick is the smallest of a series of 3 pocket tools manufactured by Leatherman, the other two being the Fuse together with the Blast.

Leatherman Kick - A Lightweight Multi Tool

The Leatherman Kick benefits from plastic set into the body of the tool which means it is quite a bit more comfortable to hold than the old PST and PST II models. The Leatherman Kick is a very welcome addition, as people who have purchased and made use of a PST will confirm! The pliers have been updated to maximize strength without affecting the tool's size or bulk, and appears to have made a difference- they are peculiar to look at for people who are used to other models, yet this is a tool, not a fashion parade, and they do the job.

The Leatherman Kick also features a phillips screwdriver, can/bottle opener, two flathead screwdrivers, as well as a clip- point knife. The tool assortment may be bare on this one, but remember, it is the smallest of the 3 products. The plus side is that the tools (especially the screwdrivers) seem to be slightly better than other multi's - the shafts are to some extent longer, giving slightly more versatility than normal, and an improved chance at difficult to get to screws. It's a little point, but it really does make a difference - especially if it's the one tool you have available and the screw is buried inside of something.

Leatherman Kick - Features Extended Screwdriver

For sure, the Kick is a well thought out tool, but it does have it's negatives. Because of it's light weight, the Kick feels inadequate. As it is supported by Leatherman's 25 year warranty, it is very well made, however in comparison to several different tools both bigger and smaller, it doesn't appear to be quite as tough. Also, it may come across as a little small to people with bigger hands.

On an important note, even with the low number of tools on the Kick, it still suffers from Leatherman's infamous problem, tool clumping. Why can it be, that a handle with just three tools built in, all pull out whenever you try to get only one? With each new generation of tools, this negative point should be a forgotten memory.

The Leatherman Kick is good value for money, but not a good choice for a heavy user or a bigger person. My suggestion is that it's better suited as a small tool for a lady's handbag or as a kid's first tool. It is a "cute" tool for those folks that rarely need tools although like to be prepared.
