Corporate supply by Crest PromosLeatherman multitools for corporate gifts
The original American multitool, made by the company that invented the category in 1983 and backed by a 25 year limited warranty. Engraved with your logo and delivered Australia-wide for staff gifts, client gifts, service awards and events.
A gift that lives on the belt, not in the drawer
Leatherman is the company that started the multitool category. Tim Leatherman spent eight years developing the original Pocket Survival Tool, and the first order shipped in 1983. The company is still based in Portland, Oregon, its tools are made from high-grade stainless steel, and each one is backed by a 25 year limited warranty.
That history is why a Leatherman works as a business gift. Most people know the name, many already want one, and plenty of tradies, farmers and campers own one they have carried for years. Giving one to a staff member or client reads as a considered choice, and quality gear reflects well on the company whose logo is on it.
A multitool also earns its place. It goes on the belt, into the glovebox, the toolbag or the tackle box, and gets used for small fixes most weeks. Every time it comes out, so does your logo. That mix of usefulness, durability and a name people respect keeps your brand in hand long after a standard giveaway is forgotten.
"I now focus on helping brands, agencies and organisations move beyond low-value giveaways toward premium, responsibly made merchandise that stands up to scrutiny."

Replaceable wire cutters
Many full-size tools, including the Wave+, Charge+ TTi, Rebar, Surge, Signal and ARC, have premium wire and hard-wire cutters that can be replaced when they wear. That matters for electricians and trades who cut wire every day, because the cutters can be swapped rather than the whole tool.
One-hand opening and locking tools
On the Wave+, all 18 tools can be opened and locked with one hand, and many can be used with the tool closed. The ARC uses Leatherman's FREE technology so every feature opens smoothly and is fully one-hand operable. Locking tools stay put while you work.
Choosing the right Leatherman gift
Trades and site crews: choose a full-size tool with replaceable wire cutters, such as the Rebar, Wave+ or Surge. If the site does not allow knife blades, the Knifeless Rebar has scissors in place of the knife.
Senior and milestone gifts: the ARC, Wave Alpha and Charge+ TTi use premium materials such as MagnaCut steel, G10 scales and titanium, and suit long-service and performance awards.
Outdoor and field teams: the Signal adds a firestarter, safety whistle and hammer for camping and remote work. The Skeletool CX is a lighter option at 142 grams.
Weight and size: the Micra weighs 51 grams and sits on a keyring. Full-size tools range from 142 grams for the Skeletool CX to 335 grams for the Surge.
Blades and travel: most Leatherman multitools include a knife blade. Leatherman Australia recommends packing them in checked baggage for any flight, so keep that in mind for conference gifts handed out to interstate guests.
Your logo on a Leatherman
Leatherman tools can carry your company logo. Stainless steel handles are usually laser engraved for a permanent finish, and Leatherman Australia offers engraving on selected tools through its own store. Coloured, coated and G10 handles can engrave differently, and sheaths and packaging may also be branded. We confirm the options for each model when we quote.
Placement: handle side, sheath or gift packaging, depending on the model
Artwork: a vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) is ideal, and we can usually redraw a JPG or PNG
Lead time: our standard turnaround is 10 to 14 business days from proof approval
Every branded order starts with a free digital proof, so you see your logo on the product before anything goes into production.

Frequently asked questions about Leatherman gifts
Do Leatherman tools come with a warranty?+
Yes. Leatherman tools are backed by a 25 year limited warranty, handled in Australia through Leatherman Australia's online warranty form. The warranty does not cover abuse, loss or theft, and it excludes sheaths, accessories, imprinting, colour finishes, cleaning and sharpening, so the engraving itself is not covered.
Are Leatherman tools suitable for employee reward programs?+
Yes. The range runs from the Micra keychain tool to premium models such as the ARC and Charge+ TTi, so you can set gift tiers for different milestones. Full-size tools like the Wave+ and Rebar suit general staff gifts, and the premium models suit long-service and performance awards.
Can I order Leatherman tools for a conference or event?+
Yes. Compact models such as the Micra and Bond work well in delegate packs and client mail-outs. Stock levels and colours vary by model, so send your event date with your enquiry and we'll confirm timing. Because most models have a blade, guests flying home should pack them in checked baggage.
How do I look after a Leatherman?+
Leatherman tools are made from stainless steel, which resists corrosion but is not rust proof. Clean and dry the tool, then re-oil the pivots with a light machine oil from time to time. After use in salt water, rinse it in fresh water, dry it and apply a water-displacing lubricant.
