LeathermanSQUIRT PS4
Teens and tweens need to stretch themselves a bit. They are capable of more than we might think. Giving the gift of a tool is a way of showing them you find them bright and creative and full of possibility.
This summer my daughter is headed off to be a CIT (counselor in training at summer camp). This job requires equal parts compassion and ingenuity. Things break at camp. Other things need to be assembled. She's going to need some pluck and some tools.
Leatherman is the worlds largest manufacturer of high-quality multi-tools. These tools are empowering. This is a perfect gift for fostering independence in your teen. Whether they are headed off to college or high school, these tools come in handy for a variety of situations.
Whether it's assembling a piece of Ikea furniture or getting oneself out a fix in the wilderness, the Squirt is all about showing an almost-adult that they can fix things.
Most of Leatherman multi-tools are built around a pair of plierswith durable aluminum handles, spring-action pliers and more. The magic is that additional tools are stored in the handles, including knives (straight and serrated blades), screwdrivers (flat, Phillips), saws, wire cutters and strippers, electrical crimper, bottle opener and can opener. Imagine the ice-breaker this tool will be during the first week at camp or in a dorm.
The Squirt comes in many colors. Making it equal parts form and function.
Here's what's included:
- Spring-action Needlenose Pliers
- Spring-action Regular Pliers
- Spring-action Wire Cutters
- 420HC Knife
- Spring-action Scissors
- Flat/Phillips Screwdriver
- Bottle Opener
- Wood/Metal File
- Medium Screwdriver
They also do custom engraving on many of their tools. You can turn these gifts into a personalized stocking stuffer. Everything is sized into a keychain-size multi-tool. It's easy to fit into an emergency dorm kit or in a backpack (don't try to get it through TSA security, be sure to put it in checked luggage).
