The Leatherman Charge AL

For those looking for the best multi tool available, the Leatherman Charge AL is probably one of the best choices on the market. Created by the same company that offers the Skeletool and the Kick, this all purpose tool is the premium way to ensure that no matter what situation you get in, you’ll get out just fine. The Leatherman is rapidly replacing the Swiss army knife in the hearts of people around the world.

For starters, the hard-anodized aluminum alloy handles and stainless steel body form the strongest possible foundation for the many devices the Leatherman Charge AL contains. This makes the tool virtually indestructible even if dropped from a height as long as it is closed, and protects from rust in humid conditions. The 25 year warranty that comes with each tool make it an even better deal

A fixed lanyard ring, quick-release lanyard ring and removable pocket clip ensure that the multi tool is always accessible, while leather or nylon Leatherman sheaths offer extra protection. All blades and tools lock, and the outside accessible blades are a snap to open one handed. The tool is only 10 cm closed with a blade length of 7.37 cm, and weighs a startlingly light 235 g, making it easy to fit in a pocket or tool belt.

The Leatherman Charge AL is perfect for a carpenter. The multi tool features a 19 cm ruler, both needle-nose and straight pliers, a saw, a wood /metal file, screwdriver, and large and small bit drivers with hex bits included. It’s also handy for the electrician, with wire cutters and a wire stripper. Ranchers will appreciate that it includes hard wire cutters and the stainless steel clip point knife, while the sheep’s-foot serrated knife is ideal for campers.

Additional tools in the Leatherman Charge AL include extremely tough scissors with beveled edges, diamond-coated files for fine work, bottle and can openers, and a specialty Phillips and flat eyeglass screwdrivers kit. There is really a tool for just about every job contained in this pocket sized gadget that is very definitely more than just another version of the Swiss Army knife. The distinctive Leatherman sheaths are also a highlight of the brand.

From their small company originally founded in 1989 in Oregon, the fame of Tim Leatherman and Jack Nichols’ tools rapidly expanded. Everyone wanted a Leatherman. UK residents quickly caught on to the fad and began demanding access to tools like the Leatherman Charge AL, the Kick and the Skeletool. The company rose to the challenge and developed new lines of tools, creating some of the best models around where small and handy hardware tools were concerned.

Now people all over the world know of the Leatherman Company and their reputation for manufacturing and selling only the very best styles and highest quality tools available. Customers can also be certain of excellent customer service if they purchase a Leatherman. UK customers can now easily purchase a Leatherman Charge AL or any of the other versions for use at home, on the job, or for recreation.
