Go ahead: Make my day!

k502x-k503x-diagram.jpg

 I don’t know why I like this product.

After reading about food shortages, an economy that is fast sinking into the crapper and crime rising in the streets, I guess my survivalist instinct is kicking in.

I want to own the new Leatherman K502x & K503x; my “machismo” screams for it.

Can opener, bottle opener, bit driver (with six screw bit tips), even a carabiner clip.

The hidden carabiner is neat. It stays hidden until you need it, nesting with other components to save space. Then a simple thumb action is all that is required to hang the Leatherman knife on a backpack, rope or belt loop. Plus, it locks into place so attachment is easy.

The carabiner also acts as a bottle opener.

Full features of the K502x and K503x:

Blade opening: Thumb stud
Blade material: 154CM
Lock mechanism: Lockback
Closed length: 4.5?
Open length: 7.6?
Blade length: 3.1?
Weight: 7.2 oz., 204 grams
Blade grind: CNC flat
Blade style: Straight edge (k502x), combination straight and serrated (k503x)
Blade finish: Polished and ground
Handle material: Glass-filled nylon with rubber overmold, stainless steel bolsters
Included Bits:
Phillips #1 & #2
Screwdriver 3/16? & 1/4?
Screwdriver 1/8? x Torx #15
