The Leatherman Kick is the smallest of a series of 3 pocket tools made by Leatherman, the other two being the Fuse together with the Blast.

Leatherman Kick - A Lightweight Tool

The Leatherman Kick benefits from plastic set into the handle scales which means it is quite a bit more comfortable to carry than the old PST and PST II models. The Leatherman Kick is a very welcome addition, as people who have bought and made use of a PST will confirm! The pliers head has been updated to maximize strength without affecting the tool's size or bulk, and appears to have made a difference- they are peculiar to look at for people who are used to other tools, nonetheless this is a tool, not a fashion parade, and they do the job.

The Leatherman Kick also packs in a phillips screwdriver, can/bottle opener, 2 flathead screwdrivers, plus a clip- point knife. The tool assortment may be minimal on this one, but remember, it is the smallest of the 3 products. The upside is that the tools (most notably the screwdrivers) seem to be an improvement than other multi's - the shafts are a little longer, giving little more versatility than normal, and an improved chance at difficult to get to screws. It's a little point, but it really does make a difference - especially if it's the one tool you have available and the screw is buried inside of something.

Note the Extended Screwdriver

There is no doubt about it, the Kick is a well thought out tool, but it does have it's drawbacks. Because of it's light weight, the Kick feels inadequate. As it is supported by Leatherman's 25 year warranty, it is very well made, but in comparison to several other tools both bigger and smaller, it doesn't feel to be quite as strong. Also, it may come across as a little small to those with bigger hands.

On an important note, even with the lack of numerous tools on the Kick, it still suffers from Leatherman's infamous problem, tool clumping. Why can it be, that a handle with just three tools built in, all pull out in the case that you try to get only one? With each new generation of tools, this malfunction should be a forgotten memory.

The Leatherman Kick is good value for money, but not an option for a heavy user or a bigger person. My suggestion is that it's better suited as a small tool for a lady's handbag or as a kid's first tool. It could be regarded as a "cute" tool for those folks that don't often need tools although like to be prepared.
