Leatherman OHT Review

Constructed with the military in mind, the Leatherman OHT is used by individuals in other professions, including:

Even if you are not a person who would need a multi-tool for professional reasons, you can still purchase this multi-facet multi-tool for a number of usages, including DIY home remodeling projects. A gentleman that purchased the multi-tool stated on a Leatherman OHT review board that, “I don’t leave my house without my Leatherman OHT. You will be surprised how often you will use one of the many tools on a daily basis.”

Leatherman OHT Features

This multi-tool is full of features that can be used for a wide selection of tasks. When you purchase your Leatherman OHT with Sheath, you will find:

  • Pliers (Regular and Needlenose)
  • Wire Cutters
  • Knives (Regular and Serrated)
  • Saw
  • Strap Cutter
  • Cleaning Rod/Brush
  • Can Opener
  • Bottle Opener
  • Wrench
  • Screwdrivers (Small, Medium, Large, Phillips)
  • Lanyard Ring

Although this is a 100% one-hand tool, you can still get a great grip (thanks to being spring loaded- more on assisted opening knives) without having to constantly keep readjusting your hand when using the pliers and wire cutters. To make it easy to see which handle houses which tools, there are pictures of the tools engraved on the handle.

One of the many great features of the Leatherman OHT is, unlike many other multi-tools, you have the ability to access the tools outside of the product, without Leatherman OHT Sheathhaving to open the pliers. For example, if you want to use the serrated knife, you can just open it from the handle. You don’t have to open one tool to get to another one.

The sheath that comes with the OHT is made of durable and sturdy nylon and has an attachment strap on the backside. Additionally, there is a storage part inside for accessories like extra bits. Even if you decide not to use the sheath, you can easily carry it around in your pocket, pack, glove compartment, or purse, since it is only 4.5 inches.

OHT Ease of Use

The ease of use is what makes this Leatherman one of the best multi-tools available. You have outside access to any tool you need, at any time. The pictures of the tools on each handle takes out the guessing of where each tool is located. In a crisis, this is of the utmost importance, especially for those that use this multi-tool in a profession where every second counts.

One-Handed Tool Quality

The Leatherman OHT with Sheath is made with tools that are resilient and long-lasting. The blades are constructed with 420 HC stainless steel, a high carbon stainless steel that is one of the top materials for making knives that don’t rust or bend or have to be sharpened often. Some of the tools are also constructed of 154CM stainless steel that guarantees against corrosion. Moreover, it is tougher than 420 stainless steel and will hold its edge much longer.

The locking of each tool when it is open is what has made this multi-tool very popular, and safe to use. It doesn’t become understandable how necessary this is until you starting using the different tools. For example, if you are using the saw, you don’t want it to be folding and unfolding while you are cutting, leading to a possible injury.

To add a little style to this multi-tool, the handles of the Leatherman OHT with Sheath come in a nice shade of Coyote Tan. A female Leatherman OHT review writer stated that the style of this multi-tool is what drew her into purchasing one. But it hasn’t been just women that have been moved by the stylish black and tan brown multi-tool. Several purchasers have said that they bought the Leatherman OHT for their sons.
