Leatherman Blast
Price: £45.95 Type: Budget Lock? Yes
As with the Kick, this is also a fairly conventional design, but larger, more stable and with a bigger equipment tally. The cutting tests were simple for the scissors and two saw blades, and the screwdriving was very good, as the plastic ends cushioned the palm when using force. We found that the two closed halves would flex slightly when an extended tool was being used in earnest, particularly a knife blade or the sharp saw. Nevertheless, an extremely good product, although its price knocks it back to Recommended in the budget sector.
