Coatesville, PA (GideonTactical) May 14, 2014: Shooting Specific Leatherman Tools Now Available Online at GideonTactical. Continuing the tradition of Equipping Heroes and meeting the specialized needs of both tactical operators and shooting enthusiasts GideonTactical now offers Leatherman’s shooting and hunting activity-specific pocket tools. The Rail is designed for AR maintenance, the Pump for shotgun maintenance, and the Cam for bow maintenance.

The Rail is specifically designed for an AR. Make adjustments on-the-fly with drivers for Leatherman bits, standard hex bits, and the included disassembly punch, all held in place with a grip-tight pressure bar. A two-prong sight adjustment tool ensures you’re always on target, and a carabineer secures the Rail to you or your pack, keeping it within reach at all times.

The Pump is a shotgun-specific, multi-purpose pocket tool that can take care of any need at the gun club, skeet shooting, or hunting. This lightweight, everyday carry tool will keep you running with four bit options, a scope adjustment tool, and a selection of wrenches for your rail. Customize your choke with the choke tube wrench, and clean up easily with the replaceable firearm disassembly punch.

The Cam is a multi-purpose, single-piece pocket tool crafted from heat-treated stainless steel. Eight bit options and a broadhead wrench and ceramic sharpener means you’ll have everything you need in one lightweight package. This powerhouse is perfect for bow maintenance on the hunt or at the range. Clip it on and head out—you’ll never be slowed down by not having the right tool again.

Leatherman designed and constructed each of these small, lightweight tools from a single piece of corrosion resistant 420 Stainless Steel with a black oxide powder based coating. The powder-based metal coating is ideal for situations where giving away a position would be costly; it is widely used by the military for its effectiveness in reducing glare and reflection.

Traditional Leatherman tools with multiple moving features require upwards of 150-200 processes and points of contact before they are on their way out the door of their one and only manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon. All this attention to detail is what makes the tools so popular, but it also equals a longer time-to-market.

“This new style of tool has fewer parts to stamp, machine, finish, assemble, etcetera, so we can test and produce our ideas faster,” says Product Manager Blair Barnes. But that doesn’t mean there is any skimping on the legendary Leatherman design principles. Barnes and his team are tasked with constructing multiple, meaningful tools, “not just gimmicks,” to all function in one piece of material. These pocket tools feature accessories that enhance use but don’t detract from the overall concept in weight and size. “The design is the most exciting part,” says Barnes. “It’s definitely a challenge.”

Leatherman designed and constructed each of these small, lightweight tools from one piece of stainless steel. Each provides highly specific and functional features that are meaningful, not just gimmicks, to allow operators to perform maintenance in the field, at the range, or even at the workbench.
