Leatherman Sidekick

The Sidekick is a great choice for first-time or modest users of a Leatherman multi-tool. With this, you can save on expensive costs and still get all the essential components of a fully-equipped multiple function tool for any project. Outside accessible blades, one handed opening, secure grip and strong, spring loaded jaws are all tremendous features that make Leatherman tools stand out from the crowd. Quality is not sacrificed to "save" expenses, rather, efficient engineering is utilized instead.

Media reviews have given Leatherman tremendous reviews compared to any other multi-function tool designers. Outside claims that a Leatherman is the only tool that permanently remains in their pack. Popular Mechanics awarded the Sidekick the 2011 Editor's Choice award. The Sidekick is also highly recommended by Fast Company and Sportman's New.

Note from the owner: "I don't leave too many reviews for my own products, because there are literally thousands, so it just wouldn't make sense to recommend all of them, especially when many of them are in 'direct competition' with others. However, I would love to personally recommend the Leatherman Sidekick. I decided to review it because a close friend of mine specifically asked what he should get as Groomsmen gift for his wedding. He said he was leaning towards a nice multi tool but there were so many options available. After discussing all the features he wanted and a price range, I concluded that the Sidekick was the best way to go. He agreed and so did the rest of the pack when they received their gifts! As for me, I was quite happy to get one as well. Even with the option of having more 'decked out' and expensive tools, I still choose the Sidekick. Why? It's just more economical, easy to use, and simple yet very fulfilling."

Great For: Do-it-yourself (DIY) and Outdoors. - Caving, canoeing or repairing that old dusty treadmill. Take it on a hike or camping trip. Fix the broken door knob or just throw it in the trusty tool box for whatever comes your way next. Heck, I'd even put one in the family bug out bag or vehicle emergency kit!
