Leatherman Super Tool 300 - The Original


The most recent Leatherman Super Tool 300 has over 10 years of compiled buyer feedback and engineering skill in every feature. Every one is designed to address the user who needs strength, immediate access to tools, and comfort for challenging tasks.

Possibly the most crucial function of the ST300; the pliers have been optimized for strength. To maintain the balance of materials when making room for the new removable wire cutters, increased steel was added to important areas, making them by far the beefiest pliers Leatherman has created. Furthermore 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 frequent, heavy pressure is applied, cutters occasionally end up being 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 on the spot (replacement cutters available separately). Further to this, by optimizing the heat treatment procedure and replacing the standard stainless steel with premium 154CM the wire cutters will keep an edge as much as three times longer for the highest durability.

The thought of "clumping" was originally launched 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 blades 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 DIY enthusiasts 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 instantly locate blades when wearing bulky work gloves. The locks on the ST300 have been toughened to guarantee full engagement when the features are under heavy use.

ST300 is available immediately and supplied with Leatherman's industry 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 introduced 16 years ago. The original multi tool of its size and strength, it was an instant triumph selling in excess of one million units in the first two years alone. In 2001 design changes were made and the Super Tool 200 was released. 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 would have liked. Enter the Core.

In 2005 Leatherman changed the ST200 placing new locks on the back sides of the handles and doing away with "clumping". The jaws were also improved for toughness and the new tool was named the Core. Without realising the demand for this all new tool and how fast 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. Go forward to 2009 and the Super Tool 300. This all new design, created 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 the world over.
