Leatherman Tool

Leatherman Tool-founder, Tim Leatherman received his BSME from Oregon State University in 1970. After that, he held a variety of jobs, including positions as an English teacher and a helicopter mechanic. Time spent traveling abroad ultimately led to the Leatherman multipurpose tool concept.

From the beginning, Tim has built the company on a simple philosophy: manufacture product on time, meet specifications, increase value, and provide a pleasant work environment. When asked about Leatherman Tool’s devotion to quality, Tim simply replies, “My name is on every tool.”

Although he no longer spends much time on the manufacturing floor, Tim is known for wearing his signature red shop apron every day to show his willingness to pitch in wherever needed. In the mean time, Tim is very involved in manufacturing and product development issues.

One of the company’s most popular multipurpose tool is the Leatherman Wave. Recently, it went through a major makeover. Larger knives, stronger pliers, longer wire cutters and all-locking blades make the new Wave an essential piece of equipment for most any job or adventure.
