Leatherman has debuted one of the coolest pieces of kit I’ve seen in a while in the multitool category. The Leatherman Tread is a bracelet made from detachable corrosion resistant links, made from 17-4 Stainless Steel, that contain 2-3 tools per link for a total of 25 useable features.

The bracelet is designed to be fully customizable with slotted fasteners, so the user can rearrange links, add new ones, or adjust for wrist size to ¼”. Even the clasp is functional with a bottle opener and #2 square drive. Other link tools include a cutting hook, hex drives, screwdrivers, box wrenches, and a carbide glass breaker. There are also plans for a model that includes a swiss made watch.

The Leatherman Tread will be released in May. The watch version will drop in September. MSRP for the bracelet is expected to be in the $150-200 range depending on whether you select the Stainless or Black DLC finish.
