The Fuse folds down to a tight, easy-to-transport 4 inches.

Leatherman's Fuse Extra-Large Multitool


The Leatherman Fuse multitool packs 12 tools into a lean, 4-inch frame. The all-locking blades include an extra-long knife blade and three extended screwdrivers that help you reach into tight spaces, and the Zytel handle grips give you a firm and comfortable hold every time. The Fuse incorporates Leatherman's new jaw design with stronger pliers and longer wire cutters, plus a wood/metal file, scissors and bottle/can opener to round out the portable collection. And now, the Fuse features an all-blades locking system that is 50-percent stronger than Leatherman’s original locks. With a slim chassis and an assortment of the most-needed tools, Fuse puts portability at the forefront of your need to be prepared

Key User Features:


The Fuse's interior features are supremely easy to access -- just swing open the handles and rotate the blades out using the convenient nail nicks. The scissors open the same way, with a swift rotation and a nail nick; and when the scissors are fully extended, they lock into place. All of the tools available in the Fuse are made from 100-percent stainless steel, engineered to the optimum grade hardness for each individual tool.

The Fuse features a system of all-locking blades. To release the interior blades, just press the grooved portion of the push-button lock and carefully rotate the blade back inside the tool. These blades are straight, and they may be sharpened by using standard sharpening methods, for easy maintenance.

The Fuse has a slim chassis and an assortment of the most-needed tools for real versatility and portability.

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality


In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

Customer Rating: - Oooo! Ahh!
A neighbor's son is a US Marine and requested a Leatherman for his upcoming second tour in Iraq. He stipulated it should be inexpensive as well. I ordered two Fuses, one for him and one for me, on the reccommendation of a previous review by a US Army sargeant.

I can understand why these tools are so beloved. I've only had this little device for a few days but I REALLY like it. It folds to a compact size, is reasonably durable, and has a huge number of tools contained within its frame. Its essentially a tool box on my belt. It has a place with my wallet, eye glasses, and keys.

#1 upside: I have large hands and the handle is just right for me. The grips are perfect as well, non slip without being sticky. Definitely engineered in America for Americans.

#1 downside: Sometimes you need to manuever around the wire cutters in the jaws of the pliers to grip a bolt. To me, it was a bit tricky at first, but that should be the worst thing about this fantastic little device.

Customer Rating: - Great multi-tool! I'd redesign a couple things though
I'm writing this in Iraq, where the Leatherman Fuse may not have saved my life, but it has saved me tons of time and frustration. Not everyone can lug around a tool box, and trying to get specific tools over here is a pain (or a rip off). I purchased my Fuse at a surplus shop before deploying and paid considerably more... but it did come with the nylon sheath which I prefer to the leather one.

The screw drivers helped me fix my bike, the stamped in ruler helps me measure 550 cord and the scissors help me cut it. I keep it on my belt, and on the rare occasions I get a care package, it helps me open it. :-)

Design thoughts: It's small and lightweight-just the bare-bones. If I was to redesign it, I'd have put a hole through the joint and gotten rid of the lanyard ring (who hangs a leatherman on a lanyard anyway?) to free up space for a saw or something else (there is already a bit of a gap there). It would have also been nice if one of the screwdrivers had a file on it, adding an extra feature without taking up more space.

Customer Rating: - Great Leatherman
I work with weapons in the army, and so far this is a great letherman for small parts, it can take a lot of damage but not as much as a gerber, but i still like my leatherman because its smaller and it has what i need to do my job, for example it has a longer flat head, the gerber's is to short, over all its worth buying.

Customer Rating: - Great Tool
I carry this Leatherman at work and it does everything I ask of it. Each tool works as it should and the knives are sharp. All around great tool.
