Big discounts continue to pop up as the new year gets rolling, and REI is leading the way for killer deals on all kinds of outdoor gear. You can find big savings on durable outdoor pants like this pair from Fjallraven plus this warm puffer from Columbia for just over $100. But one hot deal that just showed up is this super solid Leatherman multi-tool that has 14 features and rarely sees a discount, but it's almost $30 off right now.
Leatherman’s Wingman Multi-Tool is now on sale for $42, which is a seldom-seen 40% off of the regular price of $70. This highly rated do-it-all tool has been dubbed a “great basic multi-tool“ and ”very handy” by satisfied customers who have given it an average of 4.3 stars.
Multi-tools are great to have around whether to keep on your belt as you go about your day, stash in your vehicle’s glove box for a roadside emergency, or leave in a duffle bag for use while camping or overlanding. Leatherman is the iconic multi-tool maker, and this solid piece is a bargain that's built to the brand's usual high-quality standard. The Wingman is made from stainless steel and measures 3.8 inches long when closed and weighs 7 ounces. You get 14 tools which include a partially serrated 420HC stainless steel blade along with openers for bottles, cans, and packages, and three sizes of screwdrivers. Other handy tools include a ruler, regular and spring-assisted pliers, scissors, wire cutters, wire strippers, and a file for wood or metal. The made-in-the-U.S. multi-tool also comes with a removable pocket clip.
Satisfied shoppers love that the multi-tool is super versatile and can help fix things in all sorts of situations. “The primary tools—knife, screwdrivers, pliers—come into use on a regular basis and are easy to fold in and out without being loose,” said one customer. Another similarly praised it, saying that “the diversity of this product in combination with its functionality makes it irreplaceable—there are lots of copies out there but there's nothing like a Leatherman.”
Other shoppers were just glad to have a quality multi-tool for a great price that they could keep around for emergencies. One said, “I'll admit that I don't use it much, but I'm glad I have it. It feels like one of those insurance items—you may never use it (or at least use it sparingly). But you'll be glad you have it when you need it. So, just get it.”
A solid multi-tool is an everyday essential that you may not use all the time but is great to have around when you do need it. This Leatherman is one of the best basic multi-tools you can buy and comes with plenty of tools to tackle almost any fix-it situation, plus it’s 40% off and will save you almost $30 off the regular price. REI sales go quickly, so make sure you snap this one up now.
