Leatherman | Wingman 14-in-1 Pocket Multi-Tool | Stainless Steel
The Leatherman 832523 is a pocket-sized 14-tool multi-tool in stainless steel. Its tool set covers spring-action pliers, wire cutters and scissors, a wire stripper, a 420HC combo knife, a package opener, a file, three screwdrivers and two openers. The 832523 closes to 97mm, weighs 198g and takes a 66mm blade.
Half the small jobs on a site involve opening or cutting something rather than turning it. The 832523 answers that with spring-action scissors, a package opener and a combo blade in one 198g frame. The scissors reopen themselves between cuts, and the package opener slits tape and film without the knife coming out at all.
The blade is the other half. It is a 420HC combo grind, plain toward the tip and serrated toward the handle, so cable ties and cord get the teeth while card and film get the plain section. It opens from outside the closed tool with one hand, and locks once deployed.
Features
- Fourteen tools — the 832523 carries fourteen working tools in a pocket-sized stainless frame.
- Spring-action scissors — the scissors are sprung, reopening between cuts under their own tension.
- Spring-action pliers — needlenose and regular plier jaws push back open after every squeeze.
- Spring-action wire cutters — the cutters run on the same sprung mechanism as the jaws.
- 420HC combo knife — the blade combines a plain grind and a serrated section on one edge.
- Locking blade — Leatherman specifies the knife blade as locking once fully deployed.
- Package opener — a separate opener slits packaging without deploying the knife.
- Wire stripper — a stripper is included in the tool set.
- Outside-accessible tools — the blade opens with the tool still folded, one-handed.
- Replaceable pocket clip — the clip comes off and can be swapped when it tires.
- Three screwdrivers and a file — Phillips, medium and small drivers plus a wood and metal file.
- 97mm closed at 198g — the 832523 closes to 97mm and weighs 198g.
Where to use
- Opening cartons and packaging — the package opener cuts tape and film with the blade still folded.
- Cutting cord and cable ties — the serrated section of the combo blade bites where a plain edge slips.
- Trimming sheet and tape — sprung scissors handle material a knife would drag or tear.
- Repeated gripping work — the sprung jaws reopen themselves over a run of grips.
- Pocket carry all day — a 198g tool on a pocket clip rides without a pouch or sheath.
- Light fastener work — three screwdrivers cover common heads away from a driver set.
The 832523 has no insulation rating. Leatherman publishes no 1000V or VDE certification, so the stripper and cutters stay clear of live conductors. This is a pocket-sized tool, so heavy cable and hard-wire work still call for full-size cutters. No sheath is included, though a pocket clip is fitted.
