Leatherman Wearable Multitool

Leatherman Wearable Multitool

Forget fitness trackers and “smart” watches, this tool is the perfect blend of style and substance. The Leatherman Tread is a wearable multitool with more between 20 and 25 tools, depending on which configuration you choose. This convenience doesn’t come cheap though, going from $150-200 for the Tread and bumped up to $500-600 for the Tread QM1 (adds a quartz watch into the mix). Both versions come in either Stainless Steel and Black DLC (diamond-like carbon).
