Leatherman | Signal 19-in-1 Multi-Tool | Stainless Steel
The Leatherman 832265 is a 19-tool multi-tool in stainless steel. Its set covers pliers, replaceable wire and hard-wire cutters, a wire stripper, a 420HC combo knife, a saw and a hammer. It also carries two box wrenches, two bit drivers, a ferrocerium rod, a safety whistle and a diamond-coated sharpener. The 832265 closes to 114mm and weighs 213g.
Leatherman set this one up for being away from a workshop. A ferrocerium rod and a safety whistle are built into the frame, and a diamond-coated sharpener handles the straight and serrated sections of the blade in the field. A hammer face and an awl with a thread loop cover striking and marking out.
The driver arrangement is the part that matters on a job. One of the two drivers is a 1/4 inch hex bit driver, which takes standard hex bits rather than only proprietary ones. Beside it sit two box wrenches at 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch, so two common nut sizes are covered without carrying spanners.
Features
- Nineteen tools — the 832265 holds nineteen working tools in a 114mm folding frame.
- 1/4 inch hex bit driver — this driver accepts standard quarter-inch hex bits.
- Two box wrenches — 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch box wrenches are both built into the tool.
- Replaceable cutters — both cutting stations use inserts that come out and are swapped once the edges dull.
- Wire stripper — a stripper is provided alongside the two cutting stations.
- 420HC combo knife — the blade carries both a plain and a serrated section on one edge.
- Diamond-coated sharpener — the shaped sharpener maintains the straight and serrated parts of the blade.
- Ferrocerium rod — a ferro rod for fire starting is carried on the tool.
- Safety whistle — an emergency whistle forms part of the nineteen tools.
- Hammer and awl — a hammer face and an awl with a thread loop are both included.
- All locking features — every handle tool locks once opened, with the plier head excepted.
- Carabiner and pocket clip — a carabiner is one of the tools, and the pocket clip is replaceable.
Where to use
- Screw work with standard bits — the quarter-inch hex driver takes bits from any standard set.
- Small nuts and fittings — the two box wrenches cover 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch without a spanner set.
- Cutting hard wire — the hard-wire station takes wire that would mark a standard edge.
- Sharpening on site — the diamond sharpener works on both blade sections away from a bench stone.
- Remote and outdoor work — the ferro rod and whistle are carried on the tool rather than packed separately.
- Driving pegs and light striking — the hammer face handles work where no hammer is at hand.
The 832265 has no insulation rating. Leatherman publishes no 1000V or VDE certification, so the stripper and both cutting stations must stay off live conductors. The whistle and ferro rod are convenience items, not rated safety equipment, and carrying them does not replace proper emergency gear or planning. Note also that the plier head does not lock.
