At NLTactical, you will find a carefully selected range of Leatherman multitools and accessories for military personnel, police, emergency services, bushcraft and hunting enthusiasts, and everyday carry fans. Whether you are looking for a compact Leatherman pocket knife or a full-size multitool for heavy-duty use, you can assemble your kit here in no time.
What is a Leatherman multitool and why do you need one?
A Leatherman multitool is essentially a pair of pliers with multiple tools stored in the handles: knives, screwdrivers, a saw, can and bottle openers, a file, wire cutters, and more. Instead of carrying a separate toolbox, you carry one tool that is always ready for use—in the field, in the car, at work, or on a multi-day trek.
The benefits at a glance:
Always prepared: from a loose rail to a broken strap, a Leatherman lets you fix it on the spot.
Saves space and weight: especially for military personnel, operators, and bushcrafters, every gram of your equipment counts.
Extremely durable: Leatherman is known for its stainless steel, solid locks, and long service life.
Popular Leatherman models at NLTactical
Within the range, several models consistently stand out among professionals and dedicated EDC users alike. Below, we highlight the most important Leatherman multitools.
Leatherman Wave – the all-round workhorse
The Leatherman Wave (Wave+) is the icon of the range and perhaps the most popular multitool in the world. With approximately 18 functions, you have everything you need at hand: an extremely sharp knife, saw, screwdrivers, files, and replaceable wire cutters. Many tools can be opened with one hand, which is ideal when you are on exercise or working with gloves. Looking for one multitool that can do almost everything? Then the Leatherman Wave is a very safe choice.
Leatherman Wingman – lightweight EDC multitool
The Leatherman Wingman is compact, lighter than the Wave, and perfect as an EDC multitool on your belt, in your bag, or in your service vehicle. The spring-loaded pliers operate quickly and comfortably, and the externally accessible blade can be opened with one hand. The Wingman is a good choice for anyone looking for a reliable multitool for everyday tasks, minor repairs, range days, or weekend trips—without having to carry a heavy piece of equipment.
Leatherman Signal – made for survival & bushcraft
The Leatherman Signal is designed with the outdoors and survival in mind. In addition to the familiar pliers, knives, and bits, it includes a firesteel, emergency whistle, and sharpener for maintaining your knife in the field. This makes the Leatherman Signal ideal for bushcraft, hunting, multi-day hikes, and preppers who want one tool that can truly make a difference in emergencies.
Leatherman Raptor – indispensable for emergency services and medics
The Leatherman Raptor is not a classic multitool but a folding trauma shear with integrated tools such as a strap cutter, ring cutter, ruler, glass breaker, and oxygen wrench. This makes the Leatherman Raptor exceptionally suitable for ambulance personnel, firefighters, police officers, and tactical medics. When folded, it can be carried compactly on your duty belt or MOLLE; when unfolded, you immediately have a full-size medical shear that cuts through clothing, straps, and equipment.
Leatherman Rebar – classic, strong, and compact
The Leatherman Rebar is inspired by Leatherman’s original multitools and is known for its slim, strong frame. Despite its compact size, it offers a full set of tools, including pliers, knives, various screwdrivers, an awl, and replaceable wire cutters. The Rebar is at home in the workshop, in the field, and in your everyday kit when you are looking for a robust yet lightweight multitool.
Leatherman Micra – mini multitool & Leatherman pocket knife for everyday use
The Leatherman Micra is small enough to attach to your keyring, yet offers surprisingly extensive functionality. Its focus is on precision tasks: a small knife, scissors, screwdrivers, tweezers, and more. Ideal as a compact Leatherman pocket knife for everyday use, as a backup tool in your medical kit, or as a discreet EDC you always carry with you.

Tips: get the most out of your Leatherman
Maintenance: clean and dry your multitool after use, especially after contact with moisture, mud, or blood. A drop of oil on the pivot points keeps everything operating smoothly.
Carry method: use the included sheath, clip, or a dedicated pouch on your belt or plate carrier, so you can find your multitool by touch.
Practice your movements: especially for military personnel, operators, and first responders, it is a good idea to regularly practice opening and using your Leatherman, including while wearing gloves.
Know your surroundings: always check the current laws and regulations regarding carrying knives and multitools in your specific situation and area of operation.

Frequently asked questions
Which Leatherman multitool is the most versatile?
For most users, the Leatherman Wave is the best all-round choice. With approximately 18 functions, a compact size, and one-handed operation of the key tools, it can handle almost any task. If you work outdoors frequently or in changing conditions, the Leatherman Signal is a good alternative thanks to its additional survival features.
What is the difference between the Leatherman Wave and the Leatherman Wingman?
The Leatherman Wave is heavier, has more functions and replaceable wire cutters, and is ideal as a primary multitool for intensive use. The Leatherman Wingman is more compact and lighter, with spring-loaded pliers and a somewhat simpler tool set. This makes it highly suitable as an EDC, a backup tool in your bag, or for those who mainly handle light to medium-duty tasks.
Is the Leatherman Raptor suitable for emergency services?
Yes, the Leatherman Raptor was specifically developed for emergency responders such as ambulance personnel, firefighters, police officers, and tactical medics. The combination of heavy-duty trauma shears, a strap cutter, ring cutter, glass breaker, and oxygen tank wrench allows you to act quickly and in a controlled manner in emergencies. Many professionals carry the Raptor as standard on their belt or vest.
Which Leatherman is suitable as a small Leatherman pocket knife?
If you are looking for a compact Leatherman pocket knife that you can always carry with you, the Leatherman Micra is an excellent choice. This mini multitool fits on your keyring while still offering a knife, scissors, screwdrivers, and other useful functions. For those who want something slightly larger, other Leatherman folding knives and compact multitools are also an interesting option.
How do I best maintain my Leatherman multitool?
Rinse your multitool with clean water after intensive or dirty use, dry it thoroughly, and optionally apply a little oil to the pivot points. Store your Leatherman dry and clean in the sheath or pouch, and avoid unnecessary misuse, such as prying in ways it was not designed for. This will extend its service life and keep your multitool operating smoothly and reliably.
