The latest Leatherman Super Tool 300 has over a decade of compiled consumer input and engineering experience in each feature. Each one has been engineered to address the user who requires strength, quick access to tools, and comfort for tough jobs.
Arguably the most vital feature of the ST300; the pliers have been optimized for toughness. In order to maintain the balance of materials when leaving room for the innovative removable wire cutters, more steel was added to vital areas, making them the strongest pliers we've ever made. In addition the neck of the pliers is sloped for easy operation within tight spaces.
Cutting wire-regular, stranded, or hard-is a typical application on the job. When constant, heavy pressure is used, cutters can become 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 sold separately). Further to this, by optimizing the heat treatment process and replacing the regular stainless steel with premium 154CM the wire cutters will hold an edge three times as long for superior durability.
The idea behind "clumping" was initially launched 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 either of the two knifes they are the only implements that will come out. Conversely if you pull on any of the other features the sharp-edged ones stay 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 an optimum fit. The handles are rounded for comfort and have cut outs on the side to instantly locate blades when wearing oversized work gloves. The locks on the ST300 have been beefed-up to provide maximum engagement when the features are under heavy use.
ST300 is in store now and sold with Leatherman's market leading, 25 year warranty.
Leatherman Store is listing 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 earliest multi tool of its size and strength, it was an immediate success selling over one million units in the first two years alone. In 2001 adjustments were made and the Super Tool 200 hit the market. The new ST200 featured moon shaped locks on the handle sides, as opposed to the original all-in-one locking system. Buyers 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 adding new locks on the back sides of the handles and removing with "clumping". The jaws were also re-created for strength and the revised tool was branded as the Core. Without realising the popularity of this new tool and how quickly it would be adopted for every day use on job sites globally, the lock design and tool accessibility was not as good as it could be. Fast forward to 2009 and the Super Tool 300. This new design, specifically 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 the world over.
