Leatherman Kick Multi Tool - An Appealing Choice That's Lightweight But Still Equipped With Useful Tools
The Leatherman Kick is the smallest of a series of three multi tools from Leatherman, the alternative's being the Fuse together with the Blast.
Leatherman Kick - Lighter In Weight
The Leatherman Kick includes plastic set into the handle to make it a whole lot more comfortable to grip than the old PST and PST II models. The Leatherman Kick is a much welcomed addition, as people who have owned or made use of a PST will agree with! The pliers head has been redesigned to maximize strength without increasing the multi tool's size or shape, and appears to have worked nicely- they are peculiar to look at for those that are used to other tools, however this is a tool, not a fashion parade, and they work.
The Leatherman Kick also incorporates a phillips screwdriver, can/bottle opener, 2 flathead screwdrivers, as well as a clip- point blade. The tool range may be bare on this one, but remember, it is the smallest of a series of products. The upside is that the tools (specifically the screwdrivers) seem to be slightly better than other multi's - the shafts are slightly longer, giving slightly more versatility than usual, and a better chance at difficult to reach screws. It's a minor issue, but it really does make a difference - to a lot when it's the one tool you have by your side and the screw is buried inside of something.
Note the Extended Screwdriver
Without a doubt, the Kick is a decent tool, but it does have it's drawbacks. Because of it's light weight, the Kick feels inadequate. As it is backed by Leatherman's 25 year warranty, it is very well engineered, but compared to several other tools both larger and smaller, it doesn't appear to be quite as robust. Also, it may come across as a little small to people with larger hands.
Most importantly, even with the lack of numerous tools on this tool, it still suffers from Leatherman's infamous problem, tool clumping. How can it be, that a handle with as few as three tools in it, all pull out when you try to get only one? With each new generation of multi tools, this negative point should be a distant memory.
The Leatherman Kick is good value for money, but not a good choice for a heavy user or a bigger person. I would say it is better suited as a small tool for a lady's handbag or as a child's first tool. It could be regarded as a "cute" tool for those folks that rarely need tools although like to be prepared.
