![]() Leatherman rounded the corners of the working surfaces in contact with your hands but there are some noticeably rough edges. They have a good heft and feel sturdy, but are not as refined as other tools like the Wave+. Pick up the Wingman or Sidekick and I immediately notice the difference compared to other modern Leatherman multitools. See our Test Procedures for full details.

The Wingman and Sidekick don’t have the top of the line materials or build quality but they get the job done. ![]() The handle scales are thinner than other models and the fit and finish is good but not as nice as the Leatherman Wave+. However the design is showing its age and at current prices they are not the great value they once were. The Sidekick replaces the scissors with a saw, trades the package opener for a small serrated knife blade, and adds a lanyard ring and carabiner – all the other tools are identical.įor the money you can afford to have one in your tackle box, hunting kit and the glovebox of all your vehicles and not worry too much if they get lost or ‘grow legs’. Inside tools are can/bottle opener, wire stripper, small/medium flatheads, Phillips driver, ruler, file, and a package opener. The Wingman features large scissors and a combo edge knife that are both accessible from the outside with one hand. Both the Wingman and Sidekick have spring-loaded pliers with forged v-cutter style wire cutters. ![]()
