Welcome to another product spotlight, where we dive into the tools that are essential for riggers and professionals out in the field. Today, we have Stephen Lloyd, co-owner of the Yacht Rigger, joining us to discuss a tool that has become an indispensable part of their work: The Leatherman Super Tool.
Stephen, could you share with us your experience and insights about the Leatherman Super Tool?
Certainly. I’ve been using various iterations of the Leatherman Super Tool since I started my apprenticeship at the age of 18. Over the years, it has evolved into a more refined version, but its core features and size have remained constant. As a rigger and sailor, this all-around multi-tool has proven to be an invaluable companion both at work and during my leisure time.
So, it’s always within reach?
Absolutely. The Leatherman Super Tool comes with a hip or belt-mounted pouch that securely holds the tool with a snap. In fact, our team at Yacht Rigger provides every employee with a standard issue Leatherman Super Tool.
What makes the Leatherman Super Tool so indispensable?
The tool’s versatility and robustness are the key factors. It includes a wide variety of tools, such as pliers with ergonomic grips for easy cotter pin adjustments, multiple knife options for different cutting needs, a highly functional saw that doubles as a hook tool, and screwdrivers for various applications. The Leatherman Super Tool covers all the basics we require in our day-to-day rigging work.
Why did you specifically choose the Leatherman Super Tool?
We opted for the Leatherman Super Tool primarily due to its size and durability. Many other Leatherman tools are smaller and more prone to breakage, but the Super Tool has proven to be the most robust option available. Although we occasionally experience part failures, the lifetime warranty provided by Leatherman gives us peace of mind. In terms of tool variety and reliability, the Super Tool outshines the rest.
It’s great to hear your genuine recommendation for the Leatherman Super Tool. To clarify, this review is not sponsored, so the opinions expressed here are based on your real-life experiences. I’m sure our viewers will find this information valuable.
Remember, when it comes to rigging and sailing, having the right tools is paramount, and the Leatherman Super Tool is an excellent choice for those seeking a versatile and reliable multi-tool for their professional and recreational needs.
