DudeIWantThat.com: Leatherman's new baby Tread, a multi-tool worn on the wrist, is so brand new it hasn't quite popped out of the oven yet. But before you start leaving interminably clever, "This site should be called Dude You Can't Have That" remarks in the Comments section, know that it does really exist, and is in production, set for release this summer.

Holy accessorizing! This is just what the doctor ordered, and let me tell you, it is absolutely fabulous. Not being a longstanding and easily fixable problem, but I currently do not own a tool belt (seeing as many, if not all are made for men much larger than I) and have no room left after my leatherman, gloves, wrench, glasses, and ear protection are all strapped to me in one way or another. So this bracelet looks very compatible with my needs and the needs of others. I can see the issue of access when working with both hands and then needing to pause to unhook the bracelet and then locate the proper tool, but other than that, the versatility and new fangled wearability makes it a very innovative and interesting addition to the arsenal. The watch model also looks interesting, and with the added bonus of not needing to carry around my easily breakable smartphone around in my already filled pockets for time checks.
The idea that functional can be fashionable too is just what the world needs right now. I look to my multitool just about everyday to help me through some tool issue i need fixed right away. While this product is still in development i am anxious waiting for it’s arrival. Mostly because I have encountered too many times where my multitool is seen as too dangerous to have on hand and I have had to leave it at home. I see this as a great way of breaking the idea of what a multitool stands for. In the same way that I hope this breaks the stereotype that tools are only meant for men. With the thought of this being wearable, easy to transport, and hopefully a fashion statement I hope this will promote an image to women and girls of the world that its really cool for them to carry around tools too.
