Leatherman Super Tool 300 - Designed For DIY, Hunting, Military, Off Road & Trades
by Chris on February 15, 2010
The innovative Leatherman Super Tool 300 has more than 10 years of compiled buyer feedback and engineering skill in each feature. Each one has been engineered to address the user who expects strength, instant access to tools, and comfort for tough tasks.
Possibly the most essential feature of the ST300; the pliers have been optimized for toughness. In order to maintain the balance of materials when leaving room for the brand new removable wire cutters, extra steel was added to key areas, making them by far the strongest pliers we've ever produced. In addition the neck of the pliers is sloped for easy operation within tight spaces.
Cutting wire-regular, stranded, or hard-is a common application on the job. When frequent, heavy pressure is used, cutters occasionally end up being dented and dull, which means the pliers will stick and jam up. By making the regular/hard-wire cutters removable it is easy to sharpen or replace them instantly (replacement cutters sold separately). Further to this, by optimizing the heat treatment process and replacing the standard stainless steel with premium 154CM the wire cutters will keep an edge as much as three times longer for superior durability.
The idea behind "clumping" was initially launched with the first Super Tool. By pulling on only one tool, you would get them all from the handle at once, this includes the knives. To enhance safety, the new ST300 has just that, "Edge-safety Clumping". If you pull on one of the two knifes they are the only blades that will come out. Conversely if you pull on any of the other features the sharp-edged ones stay put.
The ST300 straight blade is hollow ground for manageable sharpening. Screwdrivers are in the sizes professionals use most and are also hollow ground for an optimum fit. The handles are rounded for comfort and have cut outs on the side to instantly access blades when wearing cumbersome work gloves. The locks on the ST300 have been toughened to ensure full engagement when the features are under heavy use.
ST300 is for sale now and sold with Leatherman's market leading, 25 year warranty. Leatherman Store is showing the retail price as £91.95 for the stainless steel model and £105.95 for the black oxide version with a cap crimper.
History of the Super Tool:
The original Leatherman Super Tool was launched n 1994. The first multi tool of its size and strength, it was an instant success selling more than one million units in the first two years alone. In 2001 modifications were made and the Super Tool 200 was launched. The new ST200 featured moon shaped locks on the handle sides, as opposed to the original all-in-one locking system. Customers still raved about the tool's strength and many applications, but the locks and "clumping" were not as user-friendly as they would have liked. Enter the Core.
In 2005 Leatherman changed the ST200 putting new locks on the back sides of the handles and doing away with "clumping". The jaws were also re-created for strength and the revised tool was labeled the Core. Without realising the popularity of this all new tool and how quickly it would be adopted for every day use on job sites the world over, the lock design and tool accessibility was not what it could be. Fast forward to 2009 and the Super Tool 300. This new design, designed for heavy-duty, on-the-job use is certain to find its place in tool belts, gear boxes, saddle bags, MOLLE vests, and center consuls the world over.
