Remember when the Leatherman multitool emerged… and pretty much redefined what it means for a tool to be “handy,” changing the lives of anyone who enjoys wearing small leather holsters on their belts?
Well, Leatherman may be on to something almost as groundbreaking as that famous multitool. This 25-in-one piece of hardware belongs to the next generation of multitool. Instead of wearing it next to your cellphone on your belt, this tool lives on your wrist.
It’s a bracelet, yes, but to make it sound more utilitarian/masculine, Leatherman opted to call it “Tread.”
What looks like a clunky fashion accessories doubles as a set of screwdrivers, hex wrenches, box wrenches, and a cutting hook. And yes, beer drinkers, it even has a built-in bottle opener.
Oh yeah, here’s another key selling point we’ve up til now failed to mentioned: Unlike other multitools, the Tread can come with you into high security areas like the airport.
