Carrying your Leatherman on the belt is the fastest, most natural way to keep it on you. But there is more than one way to do it. Here are the belt carry options compared.
Belt clip sheath
The default: a kydex sheath with a belt clip that rides tight and draws fast. Best for everyday carry where you take the tool on and off often.
Belt loop carry
A fixed loop threads onto the belt for maximum security, ideal if you never take it off mid-day.
Horizontal vs vertical
Vertical carry is lower profile, horizontal can be more comfortable when seated. Try both. Browse fitted options in our sheaths collection, and see the material breakdown in kydex vs nylon.
