The Sidekick is a highly praised multi-tool, appreciated for its perfect size, excellent quality, and versatile features. Customers love its outstanding customer service and find it a great gift. However, opinions vary on the clip and wire cutters, while the saw and blade receive mixed reviews.

"It is very pratical"
"While the Skeltool will always be my top pick, I recently bought a Sidekick to add to my EDC. Fits perfectly in the Ainsworth holster, but more than that, it has a serrated blade as well as a great little sawblade. I also like the needle nose pilers as well. I think my Sidekick is going to be a valuable addition to my Leatherman collection."
"This is an excellent tool!! However do NOT use the fabric sheath it comes with. Mine fell out. It's ironic Leatherman doesn't supply a leather sheath."
"(Note: I've recently inherited quite a few tools and accessories after the passing of a dear friend who was very much a collector and often left his tools and knives unopened. Expect MANY reviews from me in the next few days. ) My review of this closely mirros my review of the Wingman which is fair because, well, the TOOL closely mirrors the Wingman. The main difference is that the Sidekick has a SAW instead of scissors and. . . well, scissors come up much more often for my usecases than a saw. I live in an urban/suburban environment, and my Wingman/Sidekick tools are JIK drawer-stash for the office, the glovebox, etc. One thing I REALLY like about it compared to the Wingman is that it has a straight non-serrated blade instead of the combo blade. Much eaiser to keep sharp, and obviously something that makes a lot of sense with a serrated saw RIGHT THERE. I've put the Sidekick in my dashbox because I can see the saw being MAYBE more useful than scissors for road repair. I think of saws as Leatherman saws being tools for maintanence or (hopefully light) camping uses and, honestly, the Sidekick (and Wingman) aren't really robust enough for that to be a regular case. If you only want one tool, in the Sidekick/Wingman price range, and you need a saw. . . get the Sidekick. If you're a regular urban/suburban EDC-er (or you have multipool tools for different things), maybe get the Wingman instead."
"Useful to have a saw. Locking blade is nice to prevent injury. Wish it was smoother, like the Curl so I could keep it in my pocket without worrying that it will catch or wear out the fabric."
"Still rocking the Sidekick (bought in 2014)."
"Ive carried several of these over the years. The sidekick carries exactly the tools i want without being to bulky. The only thing i dont seem to use on the daily is the little ring thing. The only change i would make would be to make the blades out of better steel, (thats the only reason i gave it "good" quality instead of excellent). If youre handy with a sharpener its no big deal"
"I work in property management as a maintenance technician AKA "handyman". I have had my sidekick for 8 years, bought second hand. I have used it about 4 years as a maintenance worker, and I don't think a day goes by that I don't use it. I have no complaints, although I did have to replace the pocket clip once and the tip of the knife recently broke when I used it as a pry tool, I am interested in the new ARC model, but not sure if it is necessary yet, the sidekick ROCKS as a great all around multi. ."
"Felt great in the hand"
"Overall, I prefer the wingman, but having the straight blade is much better for my uses. I wish this came with the scissors, then it would be the perfect starter tool"
