Gear talk: Pad-Pal, the world’s smallest and lightest electric pad inflator is getting smaller and lighter! Even the diminutive and minimalist Leatherman Style, which only enjoyed a four year production run, came in four colours- black, red, blue and pink.

When you need a whole load of functionality—18 functions, to be exact—the MiniChamp Alox is worth checking out.Be aware that the pliers have caught the attention of security and caused them to be confiscated in Kuwait, China, and South Africa.

This warranty does not cover sheaths, accessories, imprinting, colour finishes, cleaning, or sharpening.If you want a really brightly coloured option, one of the few keychain tools released by Leatherman with pink coloured scales is always going to stand out. His personal collections span technical bags, fountain pens, digital cameras, retro gaming hardware, personal hi-fi audio gear, and mechanical wristwatches, to name a few. It can be difficult to repair a zip without pliers and lifting a pot off a stove is often easy with pliers.
