We’re partnering with Leatherman on this sponsored post. Life’s too short not to have a Leatherman in it.

A while ago, my nail lady took one look at my hands and told me, “Stop using your nails as tools!” I asked her what else I was supposed to do and her response made me laugh:

“Use an actual tool!”

She was right, you know and when it comes to the very best multi-purpose tools that can fit in your pocket, Leatherman has all the rest beat. If you don’t own one, it’s high time that you did and here’s why.

Life’s Too Short Not To Have a Leatherman in It

Handiest Tool Around

While on a budget trip to Europe in 1975, Leatherman founder Tim Leatherman found that he was constantly needing to fix a leaky faucet in an old hotel or work on a cranky Fiat. The only tool he’d brought with him was a scout knife and he ended up using it every day on that trip, wishing it had a pair of pliers on it. And thus the first Leatherman multipurpose pocket tool was born.

Today, I find myself using my Leatherman FREE^™ P4. It all the time. In fact, here are 21 ways I use it every single day!

Multi-functionality for Days

Productivity it seems is all about multi-tasking. We do it in the workplace and at home and no matter what the job, Leatherman tools can help you tackle it. 

This year I’m gifting my very-hard-to-shop-for father the Signal. It’s incredibly practical, just like him, but it’s also full of surprises. This is one big wow-factor packed into the palm of your hand.

The Signal is great to have around because it’s got 19 tools in one: pliers, wire cutters, can opener, hammer, box wrench, carabiner, and more. I mean, it’s crazy how many functional things this can do!

It makes everyday projects a breeze because you’re not running back to the toolbox for a different tool. Leatherman tools have so many in one!

Built To Last

Leatherman is one of those all-American brands. Their factory is located in Portland, Oregon and they proudly stand behind every product that leaves it. In fact, they offer a 25-year warranty on all Leatherman tools so that you can be confident that your Leatherman will last for a lifetime. (I remember my grandpa carrying one around on his belt clip.)

Gift a Leatherman

It goes without saying that Leatherman makes a great gift. For men, yes, but for women too! It’s an awesome family tool! I use it to clip and trim flowers in my garden and cut back greenery.

We take our Leatherman FREE^™ P4 whenever we go camping, fishing, or hiking and one of my favorite keychains of all-time is my Style CS.  

I picked up this little guy last year and he has been a total champ. I use him for opening boxes, filing my nails (my nail lady would approve), and one of my very favorite features–it has tweezers for getting slivers out of my kids’ skin!

So honestly, life really is too short not to have a tool this handy available at your daily disposal. Go find your perfect Leatherman companion and see how many times you turn to it in a pinch.
