Leatherman Super Tool 300 - The Original

The new Leatherman Super Tool 300 has over a decade of compiled buyer feedback and engineering experience in each feature. Every one has been engineered to accommodate the user who needs strength, fast access to tools, and comfort for tough tasks.

Arguably the most essential function of the ST300; the pliers have been optimized for toughness. In order to maintain a balance of materials when making room for the completely new removable wire cutters, extra steel was added to important areas, making them the strongest pliers Leatherman has produced. In addition the neck of the pliers is sloped for use within tight spaces.

Cutting wire-regular, stranded, or hard-is a typical application on the job. When constant, heavy pressure is used, cutters occasionally become dented and dull, which means the pliers will stick and jam up. By making the regular/hard-wire cutters removable they can be sharpened or replaced instantly (replacement cutters available separately). In addition, 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 superior durability.

The thought behind "clumping" was originally introduced 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 implements that will come out. Conversely if you pull on any of the other features the sharp-edged ones stay put.

The ST300 straight blade is hollow ground for easy sharpening. Screwdrivers are in the sizes professionals 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 easily locate blades when wearing large work gloves. The locks on the ST300 have been toughened to guarantee maximum engagement when the features are under heavy use.

ST300 is for sale immediately and sold with Leatherman's market leading, 25 year guarantee. Leatherman Store is listing 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 launched n 1994. The original multi tool of its size and strength, it was an immediate success selling in excess of one million units in the first two years alone. In 2001 modifications were made and the Super Tool 200 was launched. The new ST200 featured moon shaped locks on the handle sides, instead of the original all-in-one locking system. Buyers 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 placing new locks on the back sides of the handles and removing with "clumping". The jaws were also re-created for toughness and the revised tool was labeled the Core. Underestimating the demand for this new tool and how quickly it would be adopted for every day use on job sites around the world, the lock design and tool accessibility was not as good as it could be. Fast forward to 2009 and the Super Tool 300. This all new design, designed 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 in all four corners of the world.
