Leatherman Kick Multi Tool - An Excellent Choice That's Compact But Still Equipped With Useful Functions

The Leatherman Kick is the smallest of a range of three pocket tools from Leatherman, the other models are the Fuse and the Blast.

Leatherman's Lightweight Offering, the Kick:

The Leatherman Kick benefits from plastic set into the body of the multi tool to make it substantially more comfortable to grip than the previous PST and PST II models. The Leatherman Kick is a much called for addition, as anyone who has owned or made use of a PST will agree with! The pliers have been redesigned to maximize strength without increasing the pocket tool's size or mass, and seems to have worked nicely- they are peculiar to look at for those that are used to other models, however this is a tool, not a fashion parade, and they work.

The Leatherman Kick also includes a phillips screwdriver, can/bottle opener, a pair of flathead screwdrivers, as well as a clip- point blade. The tool assortment may be bare on this one, although remember, it is the smallest of a series of products. The upside is that the tools (primarily the screwdrivers) appear to be slightly better than other multi's - the shafts are somewhat longer, giving slightly more versatility than you might expect, and a better chance at difficult to reach screws. It's a small factor, 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 - Features Extended Screwdriver

Overall, the Kick is a well thought out tool, but it does have it's drawbacks. Due to it's low weight, the Kick feels flimsy. As it is backed by Leatherman's 25 year warranty, it is very well engineered, however compared to several other tools both greater in size and smaller in size, it doesn't appear to be quite as robust. Also, it may come across as a little small to people with big hands.

Most importantly, even with the lack of numerous tools on the product, it does suffer 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 when you try to get only one? With revised designs of pocket tools, this issue 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 child's first tool. It could be seen as a "cute" tool for people that rarely need tools although like to be prepared.
