Amazon.com Product Description:

The Kick folds down to a tight, easy-to-transport 4 inches.
The Leatherman Kick: You Can't Beat it For the Basics


Designed for folks who prefer a little less weight on the hip, the Leatherman Kick multitool features longer, sharper, stronger implements in a lightweight, compact tool. The full-size pliers include a newly designed jaw to handle twice the squeeze-load as the previous version with no extra weight added. A straight-knife, three extended screwdrivers and a bottle and can opener fold neatly and tightly inside the tool. Leatherman's rugged Zytel handle grips ensure a firm and comfortable hold. This multitool also contains a fixed lanyard ring and a leather sheath.

Key User Features


Efficiency is the name of Kick's game. Thoughtful engineering means that a tapped screw allows you to choose a pocket clip (sold separately) instead of a belt sheath. Kick has the same super-strong pliers as larger Leatherman tools, but its narrow shape and light weight keep you moving.

The Kick's interior features are supremely easy to access -- just swing open the handles and rotate the blades out using the convenient nail nicks. The scissors open the same way, with a swift rotation and a nail nick; and when the scissors are fully extended, they lock into place. All of the tools available in the Kick are made from 100-percent stainless steel, engineered to the optimum grade hardness for each individual tool. The Kick features a system of straight blades, which can be sharpened by using standard sharpening methods, for easy maintenance.


The Kick's thoughtful engineering means sharp, strong, long blades and twice the gripping power of the previous model.

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality


In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Leatherman's Kick won't kick back on you!
The Leatherman 830018 Kick Pocket Multi-Tool with Leather Sheath is said by some to be the "Leatherman Lite" model, but it's no lightweight when it comes to performance.

It's the thinnest regular sized Leatherman multi-tool. The pliers are strong, and with a nice grip, but have a narrower shape and lighter weight than some of the larger Leatherman models, and the head of these pliers seems to 'get in there' where some of the others would be too wide. It also seems to be perfect for ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Everything you need for a quick fix
As an AV/computer tech, this is a great little tool that can be used in a pinch. This is my first Leatherman, so I can't complain about the handles; I find that the indentations in the handles works well enough for me that I find them comfortable to grip. The pliers are great, and the choice of other tools was thoughtful.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Multi tool
I purchased this tool for a friend and he seemed quite pleased with it. Thank you.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It is better than some of the cheap chinese models out there...
I bought mine as a replacement for my Sideclip (thought it was lost, found it!) and it does a fine job of giving you a helping hand; however I still favor my Sideclip. This would be an excellent replacement if Leatherman included the pocket clip; I purchased that separately much to my dismay. I will keep it in one toolbox but continue to carry my trusty Sideclip.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - nice item, expected slightly better quality
the features are very good, and the design is excellent. Operation was not as smooth as I would have liked (I had a SOG years ago, and that thing worked great). Some wd40 fixed it up a little, but it has more to do with the construction of the thing.
