Leatherman® Signal Outdoor Tool

This multifunctional tool has Leatherman® developed together with survival specialists, accordingly, the functions are selected so that they help outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers in an emergency - which it hopefully does not come to - also master extreme situations. Under normal conditions, the Signal is intended as a helpful companion for outdoor activities and offers useful tools for fishing or hunting, camping, hiking or geocaching. The tool comes up with a total of 19 functions and two bits (cross and slot). Like a pocket knife, the Leatherman® Signal folds out proven tools on the sides: a saw, 420-HC combination blade (smooth and serrated) and awl (with eyelet), a wire stripper blade, a large bit holder, a bottle opener and can opener. The Leatherman® Signal is also equipped with a 1/4" box wrench, a hammer, a diamond-coated blade sharpener, a flint wand, an emergency whistle and a carabiner. When the multi-function tool itself is unfolded, it offers (needle-nose) pliers with crimp, lock and press functions, as well as interchangeable wire cutters (normal/hard wire).

The idea for a multifunction tool came to American engineer Tim S. Leatherman in 1968 when his car broke down during a trip to Poland. In 1975-1980, he developed such a tool and has been producing it in Portland, Oregon ever since. The successful product called quite a few imitators on the scene, but they are all inferior in quality to the original, which is still produced in the USA.
We have carried the Leatherman® Tools in our range for years. Anyone who owns one of these multitools takes it with them on every trip, every hike and every vacation - we can tell you this from our own experience - and some people even take it with them every day. And although the areas of application of the first Leatherman® tools were versatile, Leatherman® has developed them further and added both smaller and larger models to them, adapting them in an even more differentiated manner to the respective areas of application and users. Therefore, for example, in addition to the classic Wave+, we can also offer the Surge for crafts and repair or the Signal for outdoor enthusiasts.

This multifunctional tool features lockable blades one can open with one hand. In the narrower sense, multifunctional devices with lockable blades are no weapons; therefore, the German Weapons Act does not apply, and they may be sold freely. Nevertheless, we expressly want to bring to your attention the general ban on carrying this form of a knife in public in Germany. When carrying knives and tools with lockable blades outside your home and property, you have to lock the device in a container. See §42a WaffG for further information.
