Leatherman multi-tools can certainly come in handy, but they are one more thing that has to be stuffed in a pocket or hung on a belt. That’s where the Leatherman Tread comes in. It’s a stainless steel bracelet that incorporates 25 tools within its links. Additionally, because none of those tools are knives, it shouldn’t cause problems going through airport security.
Each of the Tread’s 11 links incorporate two to three tools. Those links are also are interchangeable, meaning that users can swap in new ones, rearrange the ones they’ve got, or remove some to make the bracelet fit smaller.
Some of the tools on offer include various types of screwdrivers, a cutting hook, hex drives, box wrenches, and a carbide glass breaker. Leatherman plans to release the basic version of the Tread this summer (Northern Hemisphere) in silver or black, with a version that includes a Swiss-made waterproof watch coming in the fall.
