Leatherman Wingman Multi-Tool

The Leatherman Wingman offers the core multi-tool functionality most emergency situations demand at a lower price and weight than the Wave+. The spring-loaded pliers are the standout feature: they automatically open when you release grip pressure, reducing hand fatigue during extended plier work. This matters when you are gripping, bending, or pulling debris, wire, or fasteners for sustained periods.

The 14-tool count covers the essentials: spring-loaded pliers, wire cutters, straight blade (outside-accessible), spring-loaded scissors, screwdrivers (Phillips and flat), can opener, bottle opener, file, ruler, and package opener. This hits the 80/20 point where most practical needs are covered without the weight and complexity of a full-featured tool. The blade deploys from the outside without opening the pliers, enabling one-handed access.

For emergency kit planning, the Wingman makes sense as a secondary multi-tool for vehicles, office kits, or backup caches where the full capability of a Wave+ is not necessary. It also works as a primary multi-tool for individuals who are weight-conscious or who carry a separate fixed blade knife. The same 25-year Leatherman warranty covers the Wingman, making it a reliable long-term kit component at a lower entry cost.
