At first glance you might think it’s a pruner but upon second glance you may also realize it’s a Leatherman. You’d be right. Not only are you looking at Leatherman’s take on a pruner, but in fact it’s the new for 2008, Leatherman Genus. The Genus is a landscape multi-tool with stainless steel bypass pruners, 420 HC clip-point knife, sprinkler-head adjustment key, phillips screwdriver, flat screwdriver, saw, bottle opener, soft-wire cutters, open-end adjustment wrench and a diamond-coated file.

The Leatherman Genus weighs only 11 ounces and is made of T6 anodized aluminum and stainless steel blades and tools. Works with Leatherman’s removable bit drivers for additional tools.

Cost: $90 @ Gardeners Edge
