EDC fans have become used to the release of EDC tools for Leatherman to complement their multitool and add variety to the Leatherman tool range. The increasing availability of high quality 3D printing, small workshop CNC machining and molding technologies has boosted the rise of independent makers of EDC tools for Leatherman alongside professional artisanal manufacturers of EDC tools like 711L.
EDC Holsters for Leatherman Tools
Perhaps the most popular category of EDC tools for Leatherman in 2026 continues to be EDC holsters for Leatherman tools. We continue to be especially impressed by the work of Zapwizard, who manufactures holsters that incorporate 711L EDC tools from our range for Leatherman.
Recently one of our EDC tools went into space in a Zapwizard holster, so with a Zapwizard holster you can not only have the best of both worlds, 711L and Leatherman, but can also be out of this world entirely and still enjoy the comprehensive range of Zapwizard holsters for Leatherman and 711L EDC tools!
Specialized and bespoke EDC tools and mods for Leatherman
The hammer mod for the Leatherman Skeletool is a well known design that was developed by Zapwizard and formerly made in sintered metal by Shapeways, which is now available in several rubber versions via independent makers on Etsy. This is a fairly obvious idea for a mod that provides some cushioning when trying to tap a lid closed on a paint tin, for instance.
Wedgey Bars and other prying tools are another historic favourite as mods for Leatherman, and commonly made by independent makers for the Leatherman Skeletool. You can also find bespoke bit holders and flat bit holders for various Leatherman models.
Another popular type of mod is a scalpel or saw blade holder, enabling you to fit various types of replaceable scalpel or saw blades to your Leatherman tool. Some of these were designed to be compatible with Havalon scalpel blades as a high quality, utility hunting accessory.
Unfortunately, the original, high quality, versions of many tools and mods are largely unavailable today, often because of the issues relating to the cost of manufacturing very small numbers and their origin as bespoke, artisanal tools. The original Skeletool hammer mod was made of sintered metal, not rubber, and for short manufacturing runs this made the cost seem high for casual EDC users.
Bit kits and ratchet drivers for Leatherman
A popular bit set that has been commented on by Reddit EDC fans is the Galvanox flat bit kit for Leatherman. Like holsters, bit kits remind us of how one of the classic problems for EDC users is that although you may have very compact EDC bit drivers, wrenches and tools, you also need bits and accessories that have to be stored somewhere.
EDC pouches and 3D printed holsters and bit kits are the most common method for solving this problem in 2026. An example we particularly like is the 12 bit holder handle that Zapwizard makes for the 711L EDC inline ratchet driver. The emergence of holsters and bit holders as a common and useful EDC accessory for Leatherman in 2026 is partly because they don’t need to be very structurally strong, unlike bit adapters and flat bit ratchet drivers, so they can be easily made using 3D printing and home machining techniques.
What does the future look like for EDC tools for Leatherman?
Many of the most innovative and useful EDC accessories and tools for Leatherman have their origins as artisanal, bespoke items that were designed,engineered and manufactured by individual EDC fans and makers, and this continues to be the case today. A tour through social media pages and platforms like Reddit is great for giving insights into what you can find and where you can get it, with some honest reviews!
However, the speed with which high quality EDC tools can be copied and put on the market by unscrupulous manufacturers in low quality, mass-produced versions is a constant challenge for both EDC tool makers and EDC fans globally. The only way to maintain the flow of high quality tools and accessories for Leatherman and other EDC gear, is to support the efforts of the people who design and manufacture high quality EDC tools that are built to last a lifetime.
You can of course find the full range of 711L EDC gear for Leatherman as well as our other tools on the 711L Amazon store, but also take the time to check out Zapwizard and the other dedicated EDC accessory makers, you might be surprised at what you find!
