Leatherman Wingman Review
The Leatherman Wingman is good everyday use multitool. It comes with the most common tools that are very handy. For the price range, the Leatherman Wingman is considered to be at the low end to medium range type. The body is all stainless steel, unlike other tools that include plastic in the handle. One good point of this Leatherman Wingman is the spring action pliers. This is very useful and handy whenever you are working and when there is a need to open-close the pliers. The needle nose pliers are pointed and have a very good grip.

You can open the blade without opening the arm of the tool. One side of the tool has Philips and flat head screw drivers. Philips bit is a little bit thin. This is not coated for better grip and avoids slipping. Other side of the tool contains bottle opener, can opener, file (ruler), and package opener. It has also a pocket clip which is very useful in carrying the multitool. Unlike other Leatherman multitools, the Leatherman Wingman does not have engraved Leatherman word on the side of the pliers. This may be one of the reasons why this product has a lower cost compared to other Leatherman products. It has a pair of scissors that can be used for light cutting. This pair of scissors is spring loaded. You must take note that when you open the scissor, it should be pushed lock in order for the scissor's spring to work.

Overall, this Leatherman Wingman has a nice design, simple looks, and perfect size. It is not too long and not too thick. It has good locking blade mechanism for safety while using the blade.
