Leatherman Super Tool 300 - Super Duty Multi Tool Is Back
The new Leatherman Super Tool 300 has more than a decade of compiled consumer feedback and engineering expertise in each feature. Each one is designed to accommodate the user who requires strength, fast access to tools, and comfort for tough tasks.
Possibly the most important feature of the ST300; the pliers have been optimized for strength. To maintain a balance of materials when leaving room for the completely new removable wire cutters, more steel was added to important areas, making them by far the strongest pliers we've ever made. Furthermore the neck of the pliers is sloped for use within tight spaces.
Cutting wire-regular, stranded, or hard-is a common application on the job. When constant, heavy pressure is used, cutters occasionally end up being dented and dull, which means the pliers will stick and jam up. By making the regular/hard-wire cutters removable it is easy to sharpen or replace them with ease (replacement cutters for sale separately). In addition, by optimizing the heat treatment process and replacing the regular stainless steel with premium 154CM the wire cutters will hold an edge as much as three times longer for maximum durability.
The idea of "clumping" was first introduced with the first Super Tool. By pulling on only one tool, you would get them all from the handle at once, including the knives. To enhance safety, the new ST300 has just that, "Edge-safety Clumping". If you pull on one of the two knifes they are the only blades that will come out. Conversely if you pull on any of the other features the sharp-edged ones remain in place.
The ST300 straight blade is hollow ground for effortless sharpening. Screwdrivers are in the sizes tradesman use most and are also hollow ground for the best possible fit. The handles are rounded for comfort and have cut outs on the side to easily access blades when wearing large work gloves. The locks on the ST300 have been beefed-up to guarantee full engagement when the features are under heavy use.
ST300 is in store now and supplied with Leatherman's industry leading, 25 year guarantee. Leatherman Store is showing 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 released n 1994. The original multi tool of its size and strength, it was an instant success selling over one million units in the first two years alone. In 2001 adjustments were made and the Super Tool 200 was released. The new ST200 featured moon shaped locks on the handle sides, instead of the original all-in-one locking system. Customers still raved about the tool's strength and many applications, but the locks and "clumping" were not as user-friendly as they could have been. Enter the Core.
In 2005 Leatherman re-designed the ST200 placing new locks on the back sides of the handles and doing away with "clumping". The jaws were also re-designed for strength and the new tool was named the Core. Underestimating the popularity of this new tool and how quickly it would be adopted for every day use on job sites around the world, the lock design and tool accessibility was not what it could be. Fast forward to 2009 and the Super Tool 300. This new design, specifically for heavy-duty, on-the-job use is sure to find its place in tool belts, gear boxes, saddle bags, MOLLE vests, and center consuls in all four corners of the world.
