Summary: My Wife Likes It.
Comment: I bought this Leatherman because it was a gold box deal of the day. I own a wide range of Leathermans and decide to buy a cheap spare for my truck. I'm not sure what I was expecting for $22.00 but I decided to give it to my wife. She likes the leatherman so I guess it worked out fine. I would go for a more expensive model.

Summary: A dynamic-duo combo pack from Leatherman
Comment: It's said that in 1975, company founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky Fiat 600 on a budget trip to Europe and the Middle East. He found his boy-scout knife left him needing more, such as some pliers and a screwdriver or two, and thus the idea for his first pocket multi-tool was conceived. Tim applied for and received the patent for his first multi-tool prototype in 1980, and in 1983 the Leatherman Pocket Survival Tool (PST) was born. The rest is history.
This Leatherman Kick with Micra Multi-tool Combo Pack is more evolutionary than revolutionary, for it's an example of how a company listens to what its customers are looking for, then responds.
I've been fascinated by the Leatherman multi-tools and Gerber's Multi-Plier tools since the early 1990s, and have been picking up various models (both good and bad) over the years to meet changing personal needs. I bought a Leatherman Micra Multitool when it first appeared on the market in 1996. Still have that original version, the classic 100% stainless steel model, a bit scratched now, but every bit as good as it was the day I got it. This is a well-proven pocket multi-tool that will offer you years of great service, and you can see more about it on the separate review that I posted.
The Leatherman Kick Pocket Multi-Tool that comes with this package is a no-nonsense product, one said by some to be the "Leatherman Lite" model, but it's no lightweight when it comes to performance. It's the thinnest regular sized Leatherman multi-tool. The pliers are strong, and with a nice grip, but have a narrower shape and lighter weight than some of the larger Leatherman models, and the head of these pliers seems to 'get in there' where some of the others would be too wide. It also seems to be perfect for medium or smaller hands, so it might be the perfect first quality multi-tool for kids.
The Kick has Zytel handle inserts, which gives this multi-tool a comfortable and reliable grip. It also seems to be perfect for medium or smaller hands, so it might be the perfect first quality multi-tool for kids. The indentations in the handles seem to add to the gripping power.
Speaking of gripping (and this is not meant to sound like a slur), this Leatherman multi-tool is far better than some of the cheap 'Made in China' copycat tools found on the market today. I had been given one and was using the pliers when they broke, pinching the skin on my hand and resulting in a nasty cut and a very bruised palm. IMHO, the lesson here is to avoid the junk copies and stick with a proven product made by Leatherman, Gerber or Victorinox. Enough said on this.
In any case, this is an excellent package, good for someone wanting to get some decent American-made multi-tools or as a gift for someone special. And if you didn't know, all Leatherman products have a 25-year limited warranty, making this 5-star package even better.
