The primary blade is S30V titanium-coated steel, the handles are genuine titanium, and the 19 tools are all accessible from the outside when the tool is closed. Leatherman's 25-year warranty is not a formality.
The company is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and has a documented history of replacing tools that have seen hard field abuse with no questions asked. The repair program is equally serious: every component from individual bit drivers to the spring mechanisms is available for purchase, and Leatherman's service center will rebuild a worn tool for a nominal fee.
At roughly $175, the Charge+ TTi is premium-priced, but the cost-per-year calculation over the typical twenty-year ownership period comes to $8. 75 per year for a tool that replaces a knife, pliers, wire cutters, screwdrivers, and a file.
Owners on r/BuyItForLife regularly post decade-old units still in daily rotation. The titanium handles develop a patina that improves grip over time.
This is the multi-tool that retires all the others.
