The original multitool
Tim Leatherman had the idea in 1975 on a trip through Europe in a rickety Fiat 600: for small repairs on the road, you needed a compact tool set that would fit in any pocket. Back in his native Portland, the mechanical engineering graduate set about his design work. Three years later he was able to apply for a patent for his Pocket Survival Tool. What followed was a success story that continues to this day: Multitools from Leatherman are available today in many shapes, sizes and for a wide variety of applications. The excellent reputation of Leatherman tools is not only due to the many creative ideas of the manufacturer, but also and above all to the outstanding quality of these multitools.

Stainless steel is a collective term for rustproof steel. It is much more resistant to corrosion than non-alloyed steels. Stainless steel does not deteriorate, and is hygienic, UV-resistant, non-corroding, fracture-proof, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It does not weather and can be recycled in its entirety, even after many years. Technically, the term "stainless steel" refers to corrosion-resistant steel alloys with a wide variety of compositions but always containing a high percentage of chromium (usually a minimum of 10.5%)

MAINTENANCE:
Stainless steel should be cleaned regularly like all other materials, especially after exposure to salty air (near the coast), and also at regular intervals.
Water can easily collect in corners, edges and screw connections, resulting in corrosion. So careful cleaning is important, and if necessary screws should be undone in order to clean the parts thoroughly.
Do not leave rusty steel parts against stainless steel to avoid the rust "contamination".
