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

The Leatherman Kick is the smallest of a range of 3 tools produced by Leatherman, the other two are the Fuse and the Blast.

Leatherman's Lightweight Offering, the Kick:

The Leatherman Kick includes plastic set into the body of the pocket tool which makes it much more comfortable to carry than the old 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 confirm! The set of pliers have been updated to increase strength without increasing the tool's size or mass, and seems to have worked nicely- they are peculiar to look at for people who are used to other variations, nevertheless this is a tool, not a fashion show, and they work.

The Leatherman Kick also features a phillips screwdriver, can/bottle opener, a pair of flathead screwdrivers, as well as a clip- point blade. The tool range may be bare on this one, although remember, it is the smallest of the three models. The upside is that the tools (especially the screwdrivers) appear to be slightly better than other multi's - the shafts are somewhat longer, giving slightly more versatility than you might be used to, and an improved chance at hard to reach screws. It's a little factor, but it really does add up - to a lot when it's the one tool you have by your side and the screw is buried inside of something.

Leatherman Kick - Includes an Extended Screwdriver

There is no doubt about it, the Kick is a nice tool, but it does have it's drawbacks. Because of it's low weight, the Kick feels flimsy. As it is backed by Leatherman's 25 year warranty, it is very well made, although in comparison to many other tools both bigger 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 large hands.

On an important note, despite the lack of numerous tools on the Kick, it does suffer from Leatherman's infamous curse, tool clumping. How can it be, that a handle with just 3 tools built in, all come out in the case that you try to get only one? With each new generation 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. My suggestion is that it's better suited as a small tool for a lady's purse or as a child's first tool. It is a "cute" tool for people that rarely need tools although like to be prepared.
