Look sharp and get a grip. The Leatherman tradition for exquisitely made pocket tools has received another significant boost with the arrival of the Kick!, a slimline 10cm device crammed with an array of handy implements that even the Swiss Army couldn't do without. The Kick! is a full-featured tool, chock-full of innovation, including a straight-knife, no fewer than three extended screwdrivers (including the ultra-useful Phillips head), a bottle opener, needle-nose and regular pliers, a wire stripper and more. And to help you keep a firm handle on affairs, the Kick! comes complete with patented Zytel(r) grip to give you the firmest of firm holds. It's even got a 19cm ruler on the outside, just in case you need to measure the length of your own cleverness at having made the wisest of wise investments.

And if that's not enough, the chaps at Leatherman have gone a step further, providing - no, insisting - you have a 25 year warranty, which is about the length of the average mortgage here at HQ. So even after our houses are all paid off, we'll still be able to do those tricksy DIY tasks with the same tool. Wonderful.
