Charge's pliers have been redesigned to handle
133% more squeezing load.
Charge locks are 50% stronger than
Leatherman's original tools.
Bronze bushings make the interior tools smooth
and quick to open.
Each Charge tool has multiple bit drivers, and the
Charge sheath allows you to carry the additional
bits anywhere you go.
The AL comes packed with long-lasting scissors. When it comes to
multitools, theres one brand that stands out from the rest:
Leatherman. The name is synonymous with quality and innovation,
and each successive generation of Leatherman tools improves upon
the last. Sticking with its tradition of pushing the design
envelope, Leatherman introduces the Charge AL, an ultra-compact
multitool featuring aerospace aluminum handles. If youre looking
to carry the best of what Leatherman has to offer, the AL could
be for you.
The Charge Family
The Charge AL is part of a broader line of Leatherman multitools
bearing the Charge name. Originally, the Charge line consisted of
the Ti and the XTi, two high-end tools whose major distinguishing
characteristic was having handles made from titanium. For 2007,
Leatherman has added three new members to the Charge family: the
TTi, the AL, and the ALX. As you might expect, the TTi is
essentially an upgraded version of the Ti and XTi. The AL and
ALX, meanwhile, come with handles made from 6061 T6 aluminum, an
ultra-light and super-strong material used in aircraft
construction.
Leatherman has added several key design elements to all of these
gorgeous new Charge tools. For instance, the blades are
bigger and wider, allowing you to cut more efficiently. The
pliers can withstand 133% higher squeezing load than Leathermans
original tools, enabling a tighter hold for tough jobs, and
youll never have to worry about it coming unhinged, either,
thanks to a 50% increase in lock strength. Multiple bit drivers
also are a standard feature, and each Charge has bronze bushings
at the hinges to make opening tools a snap.
The Charge AL
Like the ALX, the AL has handles made from heat-treated,
hard-anodized aluminum. However, there are differences between
the two, the main one being that the AL features scissors instead
of a cutting hook. This is a nice feature for anyone who thinks
theyll do more cutting than ripping. The AL also lacks a
crimper, which is an ideal accessory for anyone working with
electrical wires or metals. It does have a saw, and it has the
same 154CM stainless steel as the ALX. In terms of weight,
the AL is the heaviest of the three, weighing in at 8.4 ounces.
(The ALX weighs 8.3 ounces and the titanium TTi weighs 8.2
ounces.)
To sum up, the AL is a superb multitool that will meet demanding
users' needs. If you value scissors over a cutting hook and a
crimper, the AL is a perfect option. Full product specs:

necessitieseven a mini-flashlight. An inside back pocket holds
Charge's included bits and has room for a full Bit Kit (sold
separately) giving you up to 42 bits to choose from. Don't want
to wear a sheath? Then clip your Charge to your jacket, backpack
or car's visor with the removable pocket clip. Or, choose the
quick-release lanyard ring. With it, you're able to safely keep
the tool on any lanyard and detach it quickly when you need it.

The Leatherman Story
The Leatherman phenomenon began in 1975 when founder Tim
Leatherman embarked on a trip across Europe and the Middle East
in a cranky Fiat. Leatherman, an engineer by training, became so
fed up with breakdowns and other hassles that he fashioned a
prototype of what he called a Pocket Survival Tool out of
cardboard. Two years later the first PST was born in his
basement, and the rest is history. Today the Leatherman company
produces dozens of different multitools, knives, pruners, and
accessories, and is recognized across the world for its cutting
edge designs and superior quality.
