Leatherman Crunch Multi-Tool

The original Leatherman was built around the need for a multi-tool with pliers. The Crunch builds on the idea by making them locking pliers. Able to better handle high-torque jobs, they also double as a vice. They're joined in the pocketable tool by small, medium, large, and Phillips screwdrivers, a wood and metal file, a serrated knife, a ruler, wire cutters, a wire stripper, a bottle opener, and a 1/4" hex bit driver, hidden underneath the adjusting screw. Arrives with a sturdy leather box sheath with snap closure.

Closed Length: 4" / Blade Length: 2.2" / Weight: 6.9 oz.

Tactica Multi-Tool

In 2016, the Tactica Talon became the highest funded multitool in crowdfunding history. Using the feedback from thousands of backers, it's since been improved and rechristened the Tactica Original. Packed into its 3.1-inch case that can be attached to a key ring are a multitude of tools, including more than a dozen wrenches (imperial and metric), a bottle opener, a package opener, a ruler, hex sockets, and both Phillips and flathead bits. It's TSA compliant, so you can leave it in your pocket while flying, and its hardened steel core is wrapped in a lightweight composite that won't scratch your phone's screen.

Firebiner

All carabiners are not created equal. This versatile example proves that, created with survival in mind. A small wheel provides a reliable spark whenever you need it, helping to start a fire easily — giving you a leg up around the campfire, and a potentially life-saving option during an emergency. The lightweight accessory is made from strong stainless steel with a durable titanium coating and can handle up to 100 pounds of weight. The Firebiner also has a stainless steel safety blade to cut fishing line, paracord and more, along with a screwdriver tip, hang slots to connect keys, and a bottle opener.

Puebco Tool Box

Handcrafted from found and recycled steel, Puebco's Tool Box is a new product that has a distinctly used character. Along with the slight "imperfections" that give it its charm, its simple design adds to the old-school feel, with two upper halves that fold open to give full access to the interior. Smaller than many modern tool boxes, it could also double as a lunch pail.

Barebones Hori Hori Ultimate Garden Tool

An updated and improved version of their original garden tool, the Barebones "Ultimate" Hori Hori packs everything you need for small garden tasks in to one hand-held masterpiece. Its scooped stainless steel blade design allows it to perform digging tasks with ease, while serrated and straight blade edges handle various forms of cutting, including root work and sawing small branches. Markers on the side of the blade represent one inch each for easy planting depth measurements. While the curved indention at the base of the blade can certainly be used for twine cutting, we suggest using it for the most important part of the day: cracking open a cold one. Finishing it off is a solid hardwood handle with a blunt metal end cap that can be used for pounding in tent stakes or compacting soil. The tool arrives with a waxed canvas sheath with a belt clip, all inside tasteful gift packaging.

Recently it's been updated to include modern improvements to the blade, handle, and leather sheath while keeping the tool to traditional Mil-Spec. This combination axe and machete replaces several tools at once, with an ideal balance that lets the 1/8" thick high-carbon laser cut blade feel natural as you swing and strike. It measures 17 inches long overall, with an Amish ash wooden handle, hand guard, an 8-inch concave edge, and a 2-inch hook. Going a step beyond just "Made In USA", the Woodman's Pal has been 100% Made in Pennsylvania since 1941 and is backed by a lifetime guarantee.

Best Made Co. selected local Japanese legend Mizuno-san who was awarded the title of Traditional Craftsman by the state, and he and his three sons craft each hatchet in-line with the styles and craftsmanship of of Japan's smithing history. Unlike most hatchets that are used as blunt instruments for heavy striking, this Jigata hatchet is engineered for precision cutting, so treat it more like a fine knife than hardware store wood-chopper.

Best Made Co. Weather Station

Built in Germany and housed in solid brass, this Weather Station provides a beautiful reading of the comfort level inside and outdoors. It contains a thermometer and hygrometer and when the needles cross in the hatched region on the gauge, the heat and humidity are perfectly balanced. The untreated brass will patina over time with proper care, making it look even more appealing as it provides climate information daily. When used outdoors, it's best to place this analog weather station in a shaded and covered area, keeping it away from excessive and direct sunlight and moisture. Doing so will prolong not only the life of the piece, but will also provide the most accurate readings of the relative humidity and temperature. Or, simply use it inside as both a conversation starter and way to gauge if that fancy new talking, learning, listening thermostat is actually doing its job.

Base Diameter: 6" / Height: 1.5"
