Leatherman Super Tool 300 - Super Duty Multi Tool Returns
The completely new Leatherman Super Tool 300 has in excess of 10 years of compiled customer feedback and engineering knowledge in every feature. Every one has been engineered to accommodate the user who demands strength, instant access to tools, and comfort for challenging tasks.
Arguably the most crucial function of the ST300; the pliers have been optimized for toughness. In order to maintain a balance of materials when making room for the brand new removable wire cutters, additional steel was added to key areas, making them the beefiest pliers Leatherman has produced. In addition the neck of the pliers is sloped for use within tight spaces.
Cutting wire-regular, stranded, or hard-is a normal application on the job. When frequent, heavy pressure is applied, cutters occasionally become dented and dull, causing the pliers to stick and jam up. By making the regular/hard-wire cutters removable they can be sharpened or replaced instantly (replacement cutters available separately). In addition, by optimizing the heat treatment procedure and replacing the standard stainless steel with premium 154CM the wire cutters will retain an edge as much as three times as long for the highest durability.
The thought behind "clumping" was originally introduced with the first Super Tool. By pulling on only one tool, you would also get others from the handle at once, this includes the knives. To improve on safety, the new ST300 has just that, "Edge-safety Clumping". If you pull on one of the two knifes they are the only features that will come out. Conversely if you pull on any of the other features the sharp-edged ones stay where they were.
The ST300 straight blade is hollow ground for easy sharpening. Screwdrivers are in the sizes professionals use most and are also hollow ground for a better fit. The handles are rounded for comfort and have cut outs on the side to easily open blades when wearing cumbersome work gloves. The locks on the ST300 have been strengthened to ensure total engagement when the features are under heavy use.
ST300 is available immediately and sold with Leatherman's market leading, 25 year guarantee. Leatherman Store is displaying the retail price as £91.95 for the stainless steel model and £105.95 for the black oxide version with a cap crimper.
History of the Super Tool:
The original Leatherman Super Tool was introduced 16 years ago. The first multi tool of its size and strength, it was an immediate triumph selling in excess of one million units in the first two years alone. In 2001 modifications were made and the Super Tool 200 was launched. The new ST200 featured moon shaped locks on the handle sides, instead of the original all-in-one locking system. Owners still raved about the tool's strength and many applications, but the locks and "clumping" were not as user-friendly as they would have liked. Enter the Core.
In 2005 Leatherman revised the ST200 putting new locks on the back sides of the handles and removing with "clumping". The jaws were also improved for toughness and the revised tool was labeled the Core. Underestimating the demand for this all new tool and how fast it would be adopted for every day use on job sites the world over, the lock design and tool accessibility was not as good as it could be. Go forward to 2009 and the Super Tool 300. This all new design, designed for heavy-duty, on-the-job use is certain to find its place in tool belts, gear boxes, saddle bags, MOLLE vests, and center consuls in all four corners of the world.
