The Leatherman Kick is the smallest of a range of three multi tools from Leatherman, the other models are the Fuse and the Blast.
Leatherman Kick - A Lightweight Tool
The Leatherman Kick benefits from plastic set into the body of the multi tool which makes it a good deal more comfortable to grip than the previous PST and PST II models. The Leatherman Kick is a much called for addition, as anyone who has bought and made use of a PST will attest to! The pliers have been redesigned to increase strength without increasing the pocket tool's size or mass, and seems to have made a difference- they are peculiar to look at for those used to other models, on the other hand this is a tool, not a fashion show, and they work.
The Leatherman Kick also benefits from a phillips screwdriver, can/bottle opener, a pair of flathead screwdrivers, and a clip- point knife. The tool assortment may be minimal on this one, although remember, it is the smallest of the three models. The upside is that the tools (particularly the screwdrivers) appear to be a little better than other multi's - the shafts are a little longer, giving little more versatility than you might expect, and a better chance at hard to reach screws. It's a small factor, but it really does add up - especially if it's the one tool you have at the ready and the screw is buried inside of something.
Leatherman Kick - Features Extended Screwdriver
Without a doubt, the Kick is a decent tool, but it does have it's drawbacks. Due to it's low weight, the Kick feels flimsy. As it is supported by Leatherman's 25 year warranty, it is a very sturdy tool, however compared to many other tools both greater in size and smaller in size, it doesn't seem to be quite as strong. Also, it may come across as a little small to those with big hands.
Most importantly, despite the lack of numerous tools on the product, it does suffer from Leatherman's infamous curse, tool clumping. Why can it be, that a handle with only 3 tools in it, all come out when you try to get only one? With revised designs of pocket tools, this issue should be a forgotten memory.
The Leatherman Kick is good value for money, but not an option for a regular user or a bigger person. I would say it is better suited as a small tool for a lady's purse or as a child's first tool. It could be referred to as a "cute" tool for people that occasionally need tools and like to be prepared.
