LM833703: The Leatherman Book by Tim Leatherman

Leatherman

Before there was an iconic American multi-tool brand, there was just Tim Leatherman, a temperamental Fiat, and a list of big ideas scribbled down during a budget trip through Europe in 1975. When fixing cheap hotel plumbing and finicky car engines proved too much for a basic pocket knife, Tim added these simple words to his notebook: “add pliers to pocket knife.”

Fast forward through four decades, and that simple concept blossomed into a global powerhouse that has produced over 90 million multi-tools in Portland, Oregon. Now, Tim Leatherman introduces his latest and most versatile tool yet: The Leatherman Book.

Part inspiring memoir and part practical guide for entrepreneurs, artists, and innovators, this book uses the story of Leatherman’s founding as a blueprint for bringing your own big ideas to life. Packed with never-before-seen photographs, personal stories, and hard-earned wisdom, Tim shares invaluable lessons on navigating the road from raw concept to physical reality - proving that you don't need to be "qualified" to build something extraordinary, as long as you're willing to figure things out as you go. Whether you're a long-time fan of the tools or a creative looking for your next spark of inspiration, this book is an essential addition to any workbench or nightstand.
