Chuyện về chúng tôi
Ở đây, tại Oregon, chúng tôi luôn có thói quen hoàn tất mọi việc – bạn có thể gọi nó là tinh thần tiên phong của chúng tôi. Đó chỉ là cách chúng ta làm việc. Đó là lý do Tim Leatherman chế tạo dụng cụ đa năng đầu tiên của mình và tại sao Leatherman Tool Group đã hứa với cộng đồng là chúng tôi phát triển nhà máy và sản xuất lại địa phương. Tại sao? Chúng tôi tự hào hỗ trợ cho những công nhân Hoa Kỳ, những người tận tâm với nghề thủ công chất lượng cao trong mỗi dụng cụ đa năng Mỹ giống như người sáng lập của chúng tôi .
Trở về nhà , Tim bắt đầu phát triển và đang ký sáng chế ý tưởng của mình. Ngay sau khi trở lại, ông hợp tác với người bạn đại học, Steve Berliner để tiếp tục xây dựng các khái niệm và tiếp cận triển vọng tiềm năng cho việc bán hàng. Vào ngày 5 tháng 7 năm 1983, Tim và Steve chính thức thành lập Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. dựa trên một vài nguyên tắc cơ bản : sản xuất những sản phẩm có chất lượng cao nhất mang lại giá trị tuyệt vời cho người tiêu dùng, đồng thời cung cấp công ăn việc làm cho lực lượng lao động địa phương. Cũng trong năm đó, sau gần một thập niên gõ cửa chào hàng và hoàn thiện ý tưởng của mình, họ đã bán dụng cụ Pocket Survival Tool đầu tiên (PST). Và như câu chuyện nối tiếp … phần còn lại là lịch sử.
Ba mươi năm sau, chúng tôi vẫn tiếp tục phát triển mạnh mẽ ở Mỹ, tạo ra các dụng cụ và dao đa năng nổi tiếng, có thể chịu đựng bất cứ điều gì và vẫn sử dụng tốt.
At Leatherman, we’re a group of fixers, outdoor enthusiasts, former service members, adventure seekers and just plain doers. And we know our products will stand the test of time because we count on them ourselves every day. Our mission is to inspire and prepare Leatherman owners for the expected – and unexpected – that inevitably will come their way. Every multi-tool and knife we ship out the door is crafted by one of the 700 Oregonians who call Leatherman a great place to work, and we stand behind our products with a no-questions-asked 25 year warranty.
The PST is the original Leatherman tool. Packs a dozen essential tools into one compact package. Continual improvements have enhanced screwdriver performance and added a hard-wire cutting notch.

The Super Tool® is the biggest, strongest multi-purpose tool in our line. All blades have a unique locking mechanism, which is the toughest, most precise locking mechanism available on any multi-purpose tool.

The Leatherman Wave multi-tool is hands down our most popular model, made famous by its outside-accessible blades that can be deployed with just one hand.
