Leatherman Super Tool 300 - The Original
The new Leatherman Super Tool 300 has more than a decade of compiled buyer input and engineering knowledge in every feature. Each one has been engineered to accommodate the user who requires strength, fast access to tools, and comfort for challenging jobs.
Arguably the most crucial feature of the ST300; the pliers have been optimized for toughness. In order to maintain a balance of materials when leaving room for the completely new removable wire cutters, increased steel was added to vital areas, making them the beefiest pliers we've ever produced. In addition the neck of the pliers is sloped for use within tight spaces.
Cutting wire-regular, stranded, or hard-is a common application on the job. When constant, heavy pressure is applied, cutters can become dented and dull, causing the pliers to stick and jam up. By making the regular/hard-wire cutters removable it is easy to sharpen or replace them instantly (replacement cutters available separately). In addition, by optimizing the heat treatment process and replacing the regular stainless steel with premium 154CM the wire cutters will keep an edge three times as long for the highest durability.
The idea behind "clumping" was originally introduced 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 improve on safety, the new ST300 has just that, "Edge-safety Clumping". If you pull on either of the two knifes they are the only features 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 manageable sharpening. Screwdrivers are in the sizes professionals 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 easily access blades when wearing large work gloves. The locks on the ST300 have been toughened to provide total engagement when the features are under heavy use.
ST300 is available now and sold with Leatherman's market leading, 25 year guarantee. Leatherman Store is showing 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 16 years ago. The earliest multi tool of its size and strength, it was an immediate triumph selling more than one million units in the first two years alone. In 2001 modifications were made and the Super Tool 200 was launched. The new ST200 featured moon shaped locks on the handle sides, instead of the original all-in-one locking system. Customers 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 changed the ST200 adding new locks on the back sides of the handles and removing with "clumping". The jaws were also improved for strength and the revised tool was labeled the Core. Underestimating the popularity of this new tool and how fast 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. Go forward to 2009 and the Super Tool 300. This new design, designed 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 in all four corners of the world.
