Leatherman’s popular Signal multitool, first introduced in 2015, has been updated with three new color options, giving outdoor and everyday users a chance to carry a functional tool that also reflects their personal style. While the classic stainless finish remains timeless, these fresh colorways bring personality to an item normally defined by utility.
Built for outdoor readiness, the Signal packs 19 tools, including a Ferro rod for starting emergency fires, a safety whistle, and familiar Leatherman features such as the iconic pliers, a 420HC combo knife, and a saw. Those features make it a reliable choice for campers, hikers, and anyone who values preparedness.
The revamped Signal is offered in aqua, cobalt, and gray, providing options that stand out without sacrificing the tool’s durable construction and practical function.
Why Color
“Life-saving gear doesn’t have to look so serious,” says Lucy Davis, Leatherman’s industrial designer who led the new color updates for the Signal. The goal was to create a tool that reflects its owner’s personality—something people are proud to carry and to show friends. A multitool can seem intimidating to newcomers; introducing approachable, vibrant color options helps break down that barrier.
By offering more inviting finishes, Leatherman aims to make the Signal feel less austere and more accessible, encouraging a broader audience to embrace the benefits of an everyday carry multitool. The company expects the eye-catching colors to draw attention in stores and inspire new users to add a practical, stylish piece of gear to their kit.
Beyond aesthetics, these color options preserve the Signal’s core strengths: rugged construction, practical tool selection, and thoughtful features for emergency situations. Whether you prefer a subtle gray or a bold aqua or cobalt, the updated Signal aims to balance form and function—helping users feel prepared while letting their gear reflect who they are.
The new colorways reinforce Leatherman’s belief that functional tools can also have character. For people who carry a multitool daily or pack one for outdoor adventures, the refreshed Signal offers a simple way to express individuality without compromising on performance.
