winner of our Editor's Choice award. According to Gear Editor Jediah Porter, "In our testing, no other tool came close in overall performance. The Leatherman Charge manages to have the most functions and the most carrying options and doesn't even come close to being the biggest or heaviest in our review."

winner of the Best Buy award for 2013. This award is presented to a product that earns an extremely high score in our performance tests and comes at an affordable price. Jediah Porter notes, "The Leatherman Wingman is an average-sized tool with an easy-entry price. Its function and durability is above standard, and it exceeds the competition with externally opening tools and a unique package opener included."

winner of the Top Pick award for heavy-duty usage and unique features. This award is given to a product that excels at a specific application, and in this review we gave the award to two outstanding products. "The PowerAssist has some unique attributes, including the assisted opening blades and geared pliers. It stacks up well in our tests, is large, beefy, and built to be used every day for many years," says Jediah Porter.

Leatherman Squirt PS4:

also winner of the Top Pick award for its compact size and keychain readiness. Jediah Porter states, “The Leatherman Squirt PS4 is the smallest in our test, but has a blade that rivals some of the full-size folders. It is the lightest, but cuts wire and squeezes with the best of them.”
