I’ve always viewed multitools as “in a pinch” objects: Not the perfect nor most comfortable tool for the job, but super handy because they’re always on you. Their key utility is saving me a walk back to the truck, shop or shed, which makes it worth having to screw or unscrew a fastener a half-turn at a time.
For those who want it all, however, Leatherman has finally released a ratchet driver attachment.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
It only works with multitools that have the large bit driver, and it doesn’t integrate with the tool when folded up. But it does have a magnetic bit holder that will take standard 1/4″ bits, and it is three-way (i.e. tighten, loosen, locked positions).
Will put this in the category of “Would be happy with as a gift, but probably wouldn’t actually buy.” With no built-in way to store or attach it, my key worry would be that I’d lose it. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before we start seeing people’s DIY 3D-printed clip-on solutions.
The ratchet driver runs $30.
