Talk about multitool

Inventor multitool in its present form (folding pliers with tools to handle) is considered to be Lezermana Tim (Tim Leatherman). History of the Leatherman Tool Group begins with a rather banal at first glance things wherewith become permanent damage and failure of the old machine running water in the hotel. It was 1975, Tim Lezerman traveled to Europe with a small amount of money in your pocket, so the problems that arise periodically on the road with his car, he had to decide. Sense from a conventional folding knife was little and Tim just wanted to have a universal tool that would include several functional items - but such an instrument at that time simply did not exist.

Returning home, Tim has created hitherto unprecedented tool that subsequently became a worthy substitute for the conventional folding knife, responding to the pressing problems of many people. The first customer was found in 1983, when the company was founded, and Leatherman Tool Group. Tim talked about this, that from now on, when his name is branded on each instrument to prevent flaws in it, he just can not.

Starting, of course, it was modest, but despite this, the company's business soon enough went up the hill.
