The Leatherman Tool Group has launched the Leatherman Free Collection, which comprises eight multi-tools ranging in price from $39.95 to $139.95. According to the collection's promotional video, available on the corporate website and elsewhere online, the name is meant to suggest that various categories of users are “free” to use a multi-tool, as it is designed to appeal not just to hunters and fisherman but also to, say, city dwellers. Thanks to a system of magnets, users no longer need a fingernail to pry open the tools, which snap into place with a system of elastomer springs and a haptic click. All of the American company's tools come with a 25-year guarantee.
