Designed to hold every [compact survival and household focused tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skeletool-rx), the [Leatherman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leatherman-rebar) Signal Multi-Tool excels in any type of scenario.

Featuring a combination knife, awl, saw, safety whistle, fire starting rod and even a diamond-coated tool sharpener, the compact device can be used on the trail or in any garage. Made with the brand's famous high-quality steel and plastic, the device was created to last a lifetime and be passed down through generations. The needlenose plier and regular pliers are set beside the wire cutters, a flat end for hammering and a stripper. In other words, it offers organized placement based on specific uses.

Finishing the tool off is the bottle opening end, ensuring the new Leatherman Signal Multi-Tool has covered all bases of utility.
