See the Sidekick in action
Watch the spring-action pliers at work and see how the outside tools open with one hand.
Easy on your hands, quick to use
Spring-action pliers and cutters
A spring between the jaws opens the pliers again after every squeeze. Bending, twisting and snipping wire over and over takes less effort, and you can work with one hand while the other holds the job.
It's the feature that makes the Sidekick a favourite for electrical work, crafts and quick repairs.
Blades and saw open from the outside
A plain blade, a serrated blade and a saw sit on the outside of the handles. Flick them open with one hand without unfolding the pliers.
The blades lock open while you work, so they won't fold back under pressure.
Compact, with a clip in the box
At 9.7 cm closed, the Sidekick is a little shorter than most full-size Leathermans. The removable pocket clip comes fitted, and a lanyard ring lets you tether it when working at height.
Leatherman backs it with a 25-year limited warranty.

Keep it working like new
Clean
Rinse in warm, soapy water, then dry it fully with the tools open.
Oil the spring
A drop of light oil on the plier pivot and spring keeps the spring-action smooth.
Mind your fingers
The blades lock; the other tools don't. Press on the back of the tool and keep fingers clear of the folding path.
Sharpen
420HC sharpens easily on any stone or pull-through sharpener.
Questions customers ask us
What does "spring-action pliers" mean?
A spring between the plier handles opens the jaws again after you squeeze, so you don't have to pull them apart by hand. It makes repetitive cutting and gripping faster and easier, especially with one hand.
Do the tools lock?
The blades lock open while you work. The other tools are non-locking. If you want every tool to lock, choose the Wave+.
Does it come with a sheath?
The removable pocket clip comes fitted. A sheath is sold separately: our MOLLE sheath fits it in size Medium.
Should I choose the Sidekick or the Bond?
The Sidekick adds spring-action pliers, outside-opening blades that lock, a serrated blade, a saw and a pocket clip. The Bond is lighter and simpler, with a classic non-locking design.
Should I choose the Sidekick or the Wave+?
The Sidekick is lighter, comes with a clip and has spring-action pliers. The Wave+ adds scissors, bit drivers, replaceable wire cutters and locking on every tool.
Can I take it on a flight?
Not in your cabin bag, because it has blades. Pack it in checked luggage.
Can I get it engraved?
Yes, laser engraving is free on Leatherman tools. Add a name, date, message or company logo. See examples of our engraving.
How quickly will it reach me?
We ship from Hyderabad within one business day, and orders placed before 11 am ship the same day. Delivery time after that depends on your city.
Will I get a GST invoice?
Yes. The price includes 18% GST, and registered businesses can claim input tax credit. Share your GSTIN when you order.

Yes. Visit our Hyderabad store, book a video call demo, or message us on WhatsApp.
