Leatherman Sidekick Multi-Tool is one of Leatherman’s most popular entry-level multi-tools, offering an excellent balance of functionality, durability, and everyday portability. Built from stainless steel and designed for one-handed operation, the Sidekick is ideal for boating, fishing, camping, workshop use, and everyday carry.

Featuring 14 practical tools, including spring-action pliers, wire cutters, saw, screwdrivers, bottle opener, and both plain and serrated knife blades, the Sidekick delivers serious versatility in a compact format. The outside-accessible blades allow quick access without opening the tool fully, making it especially useful in marine and outdoor environments.

Its rounded ergonomic handles improve grip comfort during extended use, while the included pocket clip and lanyard ring provide flexible carry options. Like most Leatherman tools, it is backed by a 25-year warranty, giving long-term confidence for New Zealand users.

For NZ boat owners and outdoor enthusiasts, the Sidekick is a strong all-round choice that offers more capability than the Rev while remaining lighter and more affordable than premium models like the Wave+ or Arc.
