Super Tool 300

The Super Tool 300 is the fourth tool in its line. The first three in order are the Super Tool, Super Tool 200 and the Core. This tool went back to a more classic design doing away with the box shape and Zytel inserts of the Core. It is a very heavy duty built multitool that is designed and built for the professional that works hard for a living in mind. The first Leatherman to have removable 154CM wire cutters and cut outs in the handle to access the knife blades even with gloves on. This tool is built to stand up to years of hard use.

Jaws

• It has needlenose and regular pliers and the Super Tool 300 was the first tool that Leatherman came out with that had replaceable 154CM cutters in the plier head. It has a hard wire notch and at the underside of the pivot is a stranded wire cutter. There was a regular cap crimper model but it was discontinued for an EOD version cap crimper.

Handles/Frame

• The Super Tool 300 was a throwback to the earlier Leatherman line and this version did away with the box style and Zytel handles of the Core. It is similar in size and shape to the Super Tool 200 with stainless steel handles with rolled edges designed for comfort and a push tab locking system. This was also the first model that had cut outs in the handle so you could access the two knife blades even with gloves on.
