At Leatherman Juice Sx /Box Int

The Leatherman Juice SX Surf Multi-Tool offers eleven different tools for everyday fixes and adjustments. What makes this multi-tool different than other Leatherman gadgets? The Juice SX includes a 3/32″ fin key that is designed specifically for adjusting the bolts on the fin of a surfboard. The Leatherman Juice SX also offers an assortment of everyday tools, such as pliers, screwdrivers, and wire cutters. There is also a 420 high-carbon stainless steel straight edge blade for opening packages or for slicing foods. At the end of a long day of catching some waves, sit back and relax with an iced cold beverage you can pop open using the included bottle opener, corkscrew, or can opener, depending upon your choice of drink. The Juice SX features a folding design that easily collapses the EDC gadget into a more management 3.25-inch-long size that can easily fit in your pocket. There is even a lanyard ring through which a keyring may be inserted for when your swim trunks don’t have pockets.

From our factory in Portland, Oregon, we’re committed to bringing you the best multipurpose products to help you solve expected and unexpected problems in everyday life. Our journey started over 37 years ago with the world’s first pliers-based multi-tool built by our founder, Tim Leatherman (yes, there really is a Mr. Leatherman!).

While on a budget trip to Europe in 1975, Tim Leatherman and his wife Chau constantly came across leaky hotel plumbing and road-side fixes for their cranky Fiat. Tim realized the need for a pliers-based multipurpose tool. “I was carrying a scout knife and used it for everything from slicing bread to fixing the car. But I kept wishing I had a pair of pliers!”

When Tim came back to the states, he took his “multi-tool” idea and some sketches he made on the trip, and got to work.

When Tim started on the prototype for this new tool, he estimated it’d take him a month. Instead, it took the next three years to build the prototype he envisioned and filed for a patent. With the patent application and prototype in hand, he set off to sell his idea. Unfortunately, the companies he approached didn’t bite. For another three and a half years, Tim faced one rejection letter after another. Until he partnered with his college friend, Steve Berliner. In the spring of 1983, they received their first order for 500 tools from Cabela’s and launched the first Leatherman tool, the PST.

From Tim’s first prototype to our latest multi-tool innovation, we’ve been building our tools in Portland, Oregon. And when it’s time to put our tools through their paces, we test them in the great Pacific Northwest. From hiking in the rugged Cascade Mountains, fishing off of the beautiful Oregon coast, or exploring the high desert in the east, we ensure our tools are reliable for any adventure or task, big or small. We invite you to try our tools for yourself, or read people’s stories of saving the day with quick thinking, their own two hands, and a Leatherman.
