Trauma, Survival, Repair: Leatherman Introduces Emergency Kits

Teaming up with Tonquin Trading, Leatherman launches three preparedness kits, each with a signature multitool.

Multitools earn their stripes as an implement to help you through an array of unexpected situations. But even a multitool can’t do it all on its own.

Leatherman recognized this, and this month partnered with emergency supply retailer Tonquin Trading to supplement its tried-and-true tools. Three limited-edition emergency preparedness kits aim to offer peace of mind with portable, stocked supplies — each with its own purpose-built Leatherman multitool.

Live now, the Trauma, Survival, and Repair kits each retail for $175. The kits come with an array of extras, like gauze, repair tape, a survival blanket, and more. And as the names suggest, each kit suits a different emergency scenario.

Leatherman Preparedness Kits: Trauma, Survival, Repair

For emergencies spanning life-threatening situations to basic first aid, the Trauma Kit contains tools to respond to various injuries. At the forefront of the kit is the six-function Leatherman Raptor. This scissor-based multi includes a strap cutter, a ring cutter, a 5cm ruler, an oxygen tank wrench, and a glass breaker.

For outdoor adventurers, the Signal Survival Kit has backcountry preparedness in mind. From calling for help to keeping warm, the kit targets basic needs in many survival scenarios. And the gear accompanies the 19-function Signal.
