Charge is the most versatile multitool in the Leatherman range. Equipped with everything a DIY enthusiast needs and made from good-quality steel. It's worth paying extra compared to the Wave model, and if your budget allows, even for the titanium version.
Leatherman Charge Plus Multitool Black with sheath
The Leatherman Charge multitool is one of the flagship models from the American brand and has achieved bestseller status in the multitool category of its type. Drawing inspiration from the design of the Wave model, this tool is crafted to a higher standard with the use of more advanced materials. It offers 19 functions in a single device and comes with a 25-year warranty!
Enhanced version featuring interchangeable wire cutters!
Durable stainless steel frame, lightweight handle scales
High-quality stainless steel is used in the construction, achieving ideal hardness for each component's functionality through precise heat treatment. The handles feature scales crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, which are hard anodized to enhance scratch resistance. The smooth, matte black finish and absence of sharp edges ensure both comfort and safety during use, particularly with pliers.
Each tool is coated with a black finish to minimize surface light reflections.
2 locks: Liner-Lock and Back-Lock
The smooth blade, serrated blade, saw, and file can be used without unfolding the multitool. Special holes in the blades allow for quick, one-handed opening with the thumb. Four tools feature individual liner-lock mechanisms, while the rest are secured with two ratchet locks that are similar to a back-lock system.
154CM steel main blade
The smooth blade is made of 154CM stainless steel, prized for its exceptional resistance to dulling, a rarity in standard multitools. The high quality of this material, combined with the ability to open the blade with one hand, makes the Leatherman Charge capable of successfully replacing a classic folding knife.
Screwdriver slots and a set of double-sided bits allow versatile use in assembly and repair work.

A well-made and very functional pocket knife. With additional bits and the extension, it turns into a small toolbox. Very useful equipment. The price is high, but it's an investment for years. Because of the weight, it's better to carry it in a holster or a pocket, as it might be uncomfortable in pants.

Very functional tool. I bought it for my EDC kit and it really comes in handy every day. Thanks to it, I can perform home repairs more easily without searching for separate tools. The set of replaceable bits is a big plus – I can unscrew different types of screws. The knife is exceptionally sharp. Additionally, the case and clip make it comfortable to carry. I am very satisfied with the purchase. My wife was a bit less thrilled when she learned the price, but the quality is worth it.

Multitool bought about 6 years ago at militaria.pl in Gdynia. Since then, it's been with me every day. At first, I wore it on my belt, then in a Helikon waist pack, and now usually in my bag or backpack. If I had to point out a tool that has saved me from trouble many times, it's the Charge. It helped with loose bolts after forest rides, fixed a damaged fender, repaired punctured tires, brake calipers, handled a hot pot over the campfire, and served for everyday repairs at home. I use it often and don't go easy on it, and the tool endures it bravely. I sharpen it regularly, clean it under the tap twice a year, dry it, and oil it in strategic spots. I considered buying other multitools, but always find that the Charge has everything I need. Only downside – weight, but that's the cost of sturdiness. The price is higher now than before, but it's really worth it. It's a durable tool for many years, ready for many situations.

Buying the Leatherman Charge Plus Black is one of my best decisions in recent months. Right after opening, it's clear this is a solid and very well-made tool. All the tools fit perfectly, operate with no play or resistance. You can feel it's a premium product you can rely on. The functionality is impressive! Charge Plus has everything you need every day: very sharp scissors, a great knife, and various screwdrivers that have proven invaluable more than once. I regularly use it at work, but also while traveling or at home when something needs a quick fix. The black version looks very elegant and tactical at the same time, and the coating is exceptionally durable, even with heavy use. An advantage is the holster, which makes it convenient to carry the multitool on a belt. The Leatherman Charge Plus Black really makes a difference – it has replaced several other tools for me. Now, I can't imagine a day or a trip without it. It's more expensive, but it's worth it – this is a tool for many years!

Everything except one issue is perfectly matched and I have no complaints about the quality. The downside is the wire cutters – in my 2023 model, they're half-rounded at the axis, which makes it hard to cut wire at the pivot point, you have to move it by 1 mm. It's inconvenient and in my opinion a design flaw. I've also seen examples of cracked cutters on YouTube. There weren't such problems in older versions, and supposedly the manufacturer has already fixed this since 2024. For now, I'm holding off on further LM multitool purchases.

Solid and functional device. Useful in emergency situations when you don't have other tools at hand. Solid craftsmanship, practical tools, and the set of bits is an extra advantage. It's a pity the quality control could be better – the scissors are loose, but it doesn't affect use significantly. Unfortunately, the blades are a bit loose too – at this price that shouldn't happen. Overall, however, it's a very good piece of equipment that's worth having. Big plus for the 25-year warranty. The Militaria store is, as always, flawless – very fast delivery and no shipping fees. I recommend it.
-
It has everything you need – the blade is impressive and easy to open one-handed. Solid construction with no play. I use it at work every day and I think the purchase will pay off quickly. Interchangeable bits and a good quality sheath are a plus.
-
Great tool, a class of its own. I recommend it to anyone looking for a professional tool for work. Worth its price, the best Leatherman I've had.
-
This tool is very handy and makes daily tasks easier. It's a high-end product for people who want an alternative to a toolbox in tough situations. My unit turned out to be defective and after an unsuccessful repair attempt, the store refunded my money after the second contact. Such service is not standard nowadays – Militaria.pl handled the matter professionally and I can sincerely recommend this store, even though I ended up without the tool.
-
Very solid multitool, you can feel the quality of the steel just by its weight – the factory-sharpened knife is even sharp enough to shave with. The scissors cut very well, and the additional set of bits is a huge advantage.
-
As always with Leatherman – excellent workmanship and durability. Nothing to add, nothing to take away. The set comes with basic bits, but I recommend buying the Bit Kit and ratchet as well, as the manufacturer advises. In the photo below already with the added clip for the belt or pocket.
-
Another Leatherman in my collection, well made and with an excellent selection of tools. I definitely recommend it.
-
Leatherman Charge is a top-class tool. I've been using it for a few days, and it's solidly built. Adult men love this kind of gadget.

After moving from the Wingman, apart from the lack of spring-loaded pliers, everything looks really good. It's a bit bigger, but offers more functions. Compared to the Surge, the size is just right for me. I recommend it.
