Description of Leatherman 830032 Blast Multitool with Leather Sheath
 The Blast multitool's compact folded shape measures just 4 inches long. |
Loaded with the most requested features, the Leatherman Blast is ready for work. Longer blades mean easier slicing, sawing, filing and more, while the Zytel handle inserts provide a comfortable, reliable grip. And in this model, new designs for the handles and pliers help the Blast sustain more than double the squeezing load of the original PST. This multitool set includes all the handy, flip and fold-out tools you'd expect from an industry-leading brand -- all with 100-percent stainless steel construction, manufactured to the optimum grade hardness for each tool. The Blast boasts an open-tooth saw design that allows easy starting and cutting on the fly, plus long wire cutters for a lengthy reach. These pliers are especially designed for a large squeezing load, with a unique jaw design that adds durability.
Multitool Capabilities:
- Needlenose pliers
- Regular pliers
- Wire cutters
- Hard-wire cutters
- Clip-point knife
- Wood/metal file
- Saw
- Scissors
- Large screwdriver
- Small screwdriver
- Phillips screwdriver
- Small bit driver
- Ruler (8 inch/19 cm)
- Bottle/can opener
- Wire stripper
- Lanyard attachment
- One double-ended bit
 To expand your Blast's functionality, try adding the removable bit driver or the universal tool adapter (both sold separately) |
 The Blast comes with one double-ended screwdriving bit. |
The Blast features all-locking blades. To release the interior blades, all you have to do is press the grooved portion of the push-lock button and carefully rotate the blade. The regular and hard-wire cutters are located within the plier jaws, and the straight knife blades may be easily sharpened using standard sharpening methods.
To access the interior features of the Blast, just grip the handles and swing them open. Each interior blade can be opened using the nail nicks, and so can the scissors. When the scissors are fully extended, they lock securely into place for safety and ease of use.
Optional Accessories (not included)
The Removable Bit Driver Accessory is sold separately, and makes a great addition to the Blast multitool. This removable bit driver works by installing right on top of the integrated Phillips screwdriver blade. You can also add the Universal Tool Adapter to your Blast arsenal. This adapter is a standard 1/4-inch hex drive that locks in three positions.

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality
In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leatherman 830032 Blast Multitool with Leather Sheath
Customer Review: Excellent tool. Superb value.
Summary: 5 Stars
My girlfriend bought me this for my birthday about four years ago, and would often joke about how no other present she ever gets me will live up to this one. That finally changed when she got me a Leatherman Juice S2, but not because it is any better than the "Blast," but rather because it is smaller and more pocket-friendly. Both models are excellent, but I live in a city, and some of the tools on the "Blast" just weren't that useful in my everyday life (the saw and file in particular) and the size of the pliers was a bit much for what I need. The "Juice" is smaller and fits in the hip pocket of my jeans, and has everything I need on a daily basis.
That being said, the "Blast" is excellent for camping (the saw is awesome), impromptu home-improvement projects (the pliers are first rate), or general small repair work. This would be excellent to keep in your glove compartment, bug-out-bag, in your desk at work, etc. The tool quality is excellent for most situations the average person will encounter. I've cut hard wires, pried nails and other various things, and cut into drywall, 2x4s, and dead tree limbs with the saw. I've never had a problem with it. All of the tools lock, not only for convenience but also safety. The only thing I dislike is the small size of the scissors, but that's a minor complaint as they cut just fine when you need them too.
As I mentioned, it's a little big to carry in your pocket, though if you were an electrician, contractor, repairman etc. and used it more frequently, the bigger size would be an advantage, and if you put it in the sheath on your belt you'll barely notice it. It's actually not heavy at all for the size and strength of the tool, I think partly because of the handle inserts which also give you a decent grip when using the piers, but don't seem to sacrifice any of the strength of the handles.
I don't have any "this tool saved my life"-type stories that Leatherman fans often love to tell, but having this tool has made my life easier countless times, usually at work or somewhere I don't have access to a full rang of tools. The funny thing about the Blast is that it gives you the feeling that you don't need that toolbox full of tools. It's a lot of fun to use and hasn't let me down. I don't own a "Wave," so I can't tell you anything about the difference in quality between a the two, but the "Blast" seems well built to me, and I don't think you could find a better multi-tool for the price. If you are going to buy one Leatherman for general repair/outdoor work, I think this is a great choice. This is the Leatherman that made me love Leathermans. I own this, a "Squirt," a "Juice," and two Leatherman pocket knives, and all are excellent quality products.
