If you are in search of a pocket multitool packed with more than 10 tools you could carry around with you, then you’ve decided right for choosing the Leatherman Fuse Multitool. With a frame that’s 4 inches, this 12-tool multitool is a favorite among males who know the multitools available in the market, males who know which multitool to carry around that’s versatile and handy when it’s direly needed.

Like some of Leatherman’s multitools, the Fuse Multitool has an all-locking blades feature. This would mean that the user can safely lock and keep away the blades whenever they are not in use. With this feature, the user is kept safe from the dangerously sharp blades of the multitool.

The Fuse Multitool sports the Zytel handles to easy use of it when cutting items or driving in screws. What are Zytel handles? These are handles that form a 3-depression wave at the tip of the handles when the multitool is pulled opened for use. The depressions are where to put your fingers into so as to be comfortable in using the multitool for say for example cutting ropes. This keeps your fingers from aching if you are doing tasks that take quite a while to be completed using this particular multitool.

Other Leatherman multitool models may sport the same features as the Fuse multitool but this one differs in some way. Compared to other multitools, this may be lighter or heavier at 6 ounces and longer at 6.3 inches when opened and 4 inches when closed. Either way, each multitool has its own appeal to potential users.

The Leatherman Fuse Multitool is made out of 100% stainless steel. This keeps the multitool from easily corroding. Other than that, the package includes a leather sheath to contain the multitool in.

You have to make sure, however that the place for the multitool in your utility belt is tight enough to keep it from falling to the ground during hikes and such. When not secured tight enough, the multitool could break easily. This would make repairing the tool difficult for even the experts in fixing Leatherman multitools up.

When Leatherman Fuse Multitool is bought online from Amazon, it comes along with a warranty of 25 long years. When you spot a fault in the product upon receiving the package and examining the multitool, you can easily send it back to the manufacturer.
