“I have purchased 4 x leatherman multi tools now, all from multi-tool-store. The quality and precision of these tools are exquisite. And they are tools. My partner and I used them regularly around the house and at home, and I keep them in my cycling pack.
The sidekick is slightly smaller than the Charge and Surge, and possibly not quite as designed for heavy duty. But it is still built well, and more compact and lighter. I also like the spring action in the pliers which Charge and Surge do not have.
My only suggestion would be (and this is the case for any leatherman) would be to have a case with a little storage pouch suitable for holding an AirTag or similar - I panicked once when I couldn’t find one of these multi-tools as they are pretty small, used for all sorts of things and easily misplaced.”
“Great customer service and advice, quick and accurate delivery, and flexible modification of our order.
Sidekick is the best choice with all the necessary tools, pocket clip and safety eyelet, which are absolutely necessary in our profession (rope access maintenance services).
The 25 year warranty is real (surprisingly), so I could manage seamlessly the replacement of my damaged Sidekick. 5 stars too.
Absolute 5 star.”
“Sidekick is a really great piece of equipment. The knife blade can be used without unfolding the tool which is really handy. It's not too heavy either so I carry it around with me pretty near constantly.”
