The Leatherman Tool Collector’s Guide, 2026 Edition!

“I am often asked when tools were introduced. I have a list for the tool families, but nowhere close to your detail. I'II use your book as my reference.”

-Tim Leatherman, Founder of Leatherman Tool Group

Leatherman Tool group was founded on July 5th 1983, and have released many tools and products since then.

At over 350 pages, this document is meant to serve as a guide for any collector or anyone interested in the history of Leatherman Tool Group.

Featuring,
Multiple new tool pages and updates to almost every page!

Tons of new pics of tool colors and variations, and now featuring a section on the Argentum collection!

Including every* LM product released, featuring tools & items that the retired products page doesn’t have, like flashlights!

This is a work in progress, some pages still need additional info added, feel free to reach out to me if anyone has info to add or feedback.

Here’s a link to the free downloadable PDF,

Surge update?

Is leatherman meaning a minor change to surge?
I came across this ad for the surge and it very clearly shows it having the small bit driver.
I haven’t seen anything suggesting Leatherman is replacing the small fixed screwdriver with the small bit driver, but I also don’t see why a photo would exist on a store site with the small driver photoshopped to be replaced.

Bond-aids

I have many, many multi tools. This is the one I find myself reaching for every day. It’s light, compact, and does most of what I needed to do. I use it around the farm, mend wire fences, work on the vehicles with it, tighten my glasses with it, and use it when I’m on the shooting range if I need to make adjustments. I find myself using it every single day for something.

Mods include removing the blade, stumping the needle nose, making the straight driver a chisel, adding the bit holder and titanium clip.

Thanks to all my fellow Leathermen and women out there that have provided inspiration for the modifications!

Leatherman likes to toy with me.

Here’s an image of an email I received. I didn’t win this in April and it reminded me of it. It’s still not available, but I received an email to buy it anyway.

Missing washer?

I recently purchased this Arc and it seems to be missing a washer between the blade and the frame? There’s a lot of scratching on the blade joint, is this normal?

Update 1: I have slightly taken it apart and confirmed there was no washer.

Update 2: I took it back to my place of purchase and they were able to exchange it for me for a new one that still has the USA stamp. Photo in comments of the new one that has the washer.

Celebrating 4th of july with my significant other

Thought about flipping patties with my charge for a second but I think stirring my coffee with it from time to time is enough. Hope you all had a wonderful 4th yesterday.

You can get paint on them, it’s free!

Silicone blue paint from a guest room I did, leaned into it once I got some on accidentally. Yellow paint from a marker today, on purpose. I don’t have much, but I love this fella even more now.

Sold my Wave+ and upgraded to a Charge+ for $4 more

My second ever Leatherman. Such an awesome tool. Only used it for some fishing so far, but I am fairly sure I am set for life.

Any tricks to tightening these?

Love my leatherman. Been carrying this for a few years now daily. My biggest gripe is these screws, I cant get them to seat tightly, scratch the tool when I try to tighten them, and dont seem to have the right tool for the job. What are you all using? Or are you replacing them with an Allen screw or something?
