The first thing you'll probably notice with the Leatherman Freestyle is opening the outside-accessible blade is easy and fast, just like a pocket knife. When you unfold it and use the pliers you'll understand that when something is engineered correctly, power isn't a matter of size, but a matter of years of design expertise. Freestyle is great as a stand-alone tool or a companion for those activity-specific tools that don't feature pliers or a knife.
Replaceable Pocket Clip
A removable clip which allows the user to wear their multi-tool attached to a pocket or belt loop without the use of a sheath
By removing the clip, the user is able to easily carry their tool in a sheath if preferred
Outside-accessible Features
This multi-tool features tools that are accessible while the tool is in its folded or closed position, mimicking the functionality of a pocket knife
One-hand Operable Features
Every feature on this tool can be opened and operated with one hand
This enables the user to keep the other hand free for situations that require multi-tasking or a free hand
Locking blade
A knife blade that locks into place when fully deployed
A user must manually unlock the blade to fold it away, which allows for a much safer user experience
