The tools are usually slightly larger than a [[Swiss Army knife]] of similar functionality, each generally includes a [[knife]], pliers, [[screwdriver]] and assorted other devices. A primary distinguishing feature between a Leatherman tool and a Swiss Army knife is that the Swiss Army knife is essentially a knife with other tools stored in the handle while a Leatherman tool is essentially a pair of pliers with other tools stored in the handles. | ||
