The OHT is the One Hand Tool: spring-loaded pliers that deploy with a flick, 16 tools with color-coded markings, and a strap cutter and oxygen wrench for medics, at about 9.9 ounces and 4.5 inches closed. It is built for gloved, one-handed use, and the sheath should be too.
A one-hand tool in a pouch with a snap is a two-hand tool. The OHT sheath is molded so you draw and deploy the pliers in one motion, and the adjustable retention means it holds firmly enough for a vest but releases cleanly with one hand.

The sheath, reviewed
1. Kydex Sheath for Leatherman OHT
Molded in kydex to the tool it is named for, handmade in the U.S.A. by military veterans, with adjustable retention and an audible click when the tool seats. Available in black, black carbon fiber, and coyote brown carbon fiber. Guaranteed for life.
How to carry it
On a belt
The sheath ships with the standard Clip & Carry belt clip, which is universal across all our multitool sheaths and carries the tool vertically on a normal belt.
On a duty or work belt
Swap the clip for the Tek-Lok belt clip, which fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide and attaches with the sheath's existing holes.
On a pack, vest or bag
The MOLLE clip replaces the belt clip using the same screws and mounts the sheath to MOLLE webbing on a bag or plate carrier.
Why kydex
Kydex is a thermoformed plastic that is molded directly on the tool, so the sheath holds it by shape rather than by squeezing it. It does not absorb water, oil, or sweat, does not stretch, does not fray at the belt loop, and lets the tool draw with one hand. A retention screw sets how firmly it holds. It is why every sheath here is guaranteed for life.

The bottom line
If you carry the tool daily, the Kydex Sheath for Leatherman OHT is the upgrade that keeps it on your belt, clicks it in, and outlasts the pouch it came with. Add the Tek-Lok for a duty belt or the MOLLE clip for a pack.
