You probably best recognize Leatherman for their full-sized multi-tools. They pack a whole toolbox worth of functions into a a “butterfly” opening design that you can throw into a bag or desk drawer.

It’s part of Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert Neller’s push to give Marines more choices when it […]
