As our longtime fans know, Tim Leatherman created the world’s first pliers-based multi-tool after a budget trip to Europe in 1983. Forty years later, millions of people continue to overcome the unexpected with only their ingenuity and a Leatherman tool in hand. To commemorate this milestone, Leatherman has commissioned the Garage team to create its most advanced multi-tool: BATCH #005: 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOOL. We’ve built BATCH #005 on the FREE® technology platform, allowing one-handed opening to all tools and features. The primary blade is made from premium MagnaCut® steel—an industry first for multi-tools. Regarded as the best all-around steel for everyday carry knives, MagnaCut is first-class in terms of durability, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The first tool that combines FREE® technology with fan-favorite features like spring-action pliers, customizable bit driver, unique Cerakote surfaces, and user-tensioned jaws to round out the latest innovations for the anniversary tool. BATCH #005 represents Tim’s original problem-solver mentality taken to the next level. With its advanced materials and features, we hope this tool inspires people to overcome new challenges they may face and to solve them with confidence and creativity.

"I am lucky to have this tool in my collection! This is my favorite Sunday carry Leatherman. The only issue is that the finish wears out on the edges, even from pocket carry. Well I guess we’ll call it patina."
"I feel so lucky to have been able to purchase one of these. There are things I like about the ARC over the Batch#005, and things I like about the Batch#005 over the ARC. All in all, the Spring Action Pliers are what put's this product over the top. If you weren't lucky enough to get a Batch#005, the ARC is equally as good, minus the Spring Action Pliers."
"The fit and finish is top notch in this garage release. The tool set and features is pretty much perfect for an EDC role. Leatherman hit a home run with this iteration of the Garage series. I hope to see more variations of the free architecture as I think it lends itself perfectly for innovation."
"This tool is everything the ARC offers plus spring loaded pliers. The Cerakote surface is tough and makes it the best looking Leatherman tool they've ever produced."
"All time best design, fit, finish & materials. Never without it as I build cabin on mountainside at 10k feet elevation. When hanging onto metal roof with one hand, #005 is completely operable with other hand. Wouldn’t trust any other tool (even my previous fav, Surge) in those situations. Thank you for this and very well done."
"Very nice design and color scheme. Feels great."
"This is like a highly upgraded Free P4: better blade, full-size file (plus a diamond file), bit driver, and spring-loaded pliers. It's hard to find fault with this thing! I'm concerned about the Cerakote coating wearing off at some point, but the bronze finish is a beautiful contrast to the white coating."
"This Leatherman tool is the best multi tool ever made. I was even able to get Mr. Leatherman to autograph it for me."
"The fit and finish is the best I’ve ever seen on any multi tool. Leatherman continues to reign supreme. I do wish a serrated blade was one of the tools selected but it’s forgivable. Quality through and through."
