The founder of Leatherman tool Group Inc. is Tim Leatherman, a native of Oregon, USA. When Tim and his wife went on a road trip to Europe in the 1970s, he had constantly to fix something. He had nothing better on hand than a pocketknife. It was during the frequent repairs of the obsolete Fiat that the idea of a multifunctional pliers, the so-called multi-tool, was to be born in Tim's head.
After returning to Oregon, he and his friend founded Leatherman and began production. This high-quality tool manufacturer is based in Oregon till now and employs only locals. Each product excels in perfect workmanship and has a 25-year warranty. In the offer from the Leatherman company, you can find not only multifunctional pliers, but also multifunctional folding knives, scissors or, for example, original multifunctional bracelets.
