When the Leatherman FREE series came out last year, we were impressed by how Leatherman was able to design a set of fresh new tools while staying true to their heritage of reliable, everyday multi-tools. With a sleek, modernized design, a new magnetic architecture that made it even easier to use the tools one-handed, and an entire line of models to suit your needs and tasks, the FREE series was one of the most popular and innovative multi-tool releases in a long time. And if you haven’t picked one up for yourself yet, now’s your chance to score one from Huckberry at a discount. Having trouble picking the right one for your EDC? Check out our coverage of our favorite FREE tools below.
Leatherman FREE P2
We had this to say in our FREE P2 review:
Despite the lighter weight, the FREE P2 boasts 19 tools total—even more than the beloved Wave—all well-curated to handle most everyday tasks. Leatherman’s beefy multi-functional pliers are the star of the show, of course, in their complete, top-of-the-line configuration: needlenose and regular pliers, replaceable 154CM steel hard wire cutters, the works. Next, your main cutting implements: a 2.76” long, 420HC stainless steel combo edge blade on one side and large, spring-action scissors on the other. Tucked behind them are your various screwdrivers, openers, and the like. Notice how nearly every implement boasts combined functions like individual one-piece multi-tools—it’s a master class in efficiency and consolidation.
Leatherman FREE K4
We had this to say about the FREE K4:
If having a good knife is the most important part of your EDC multi-tool decision, check out the Leatherman K4. It features a full-size 3.3″ locking 420HC stainless steel blade with a wharncliffe-style utility shape that’s great for daily cutting and slicing tasks. You’ll find the standard bottle opener and screwdriver built into the handle, which locks into place like the rest of the tools in the FREE line. But what sets the K4 apart is the inclusion of spring-loaded scissors and a pry tool that lets you safe your knife from abuse that you shouldn’t be subjecting it to in the first place.
