Of all the gifts I have gotten in recent years, the Leatherman Kick has got to be one of the most useful.
At first, I must admit that I pondered what to do with it. Unaccustomed to carrying it on my belt, I figured it would languish in my array of gadgets. But wisely I hooked the carrying case onto the strap of my mobile office and left it there.
The Leatherman Kick multitool has proven itself useful and handy to me on many occasions!
Since then I have time and time again found myself wishing I had a knife, or a pliers, or a screwdriver and cussing until I remembered my Leatherman on the strap where I left it.
To date, I think that the only tool I haven’t used on it is the can/bottle opener, but I am sure the time is coming for that. Its latest test was putting in the bilge pump and float in our boat. Why carry carry two screwdrivers and a knife when I have my Leatherman Kick?
Size wise, it isn’t too big or so small you can’t really put some effort into using it. The only thing it is lacking that I might need in a survival situation (ala Les Stroud) is a saw. But for day to day usage, that would just be something that added bulk.
So if you haven’t figured it out the Leatherman Kick gets my full praise and recommendation.
