2025 has been a good year for increasing the range of flat bit compatible accessories and tools for your Leatherman or other EDC multitool equipped with a flat bit holder. The multitool flat bit holder has become a platform for extending the available range of EDC tools and accessories to complement the standard multitool set.
What types of EDC Leatherman flat bit tools emerged in 2025?
There are two types of Leatherman flat bit tools that emerged as popular ways to complement your multitool in 2025. These use the flat bit holder that is a feature of many modern multitools as a platform to make your Leatherman compatible with the rest of your EDC gear in two ways:
- Accessories that enable you to use your other EDC gear with your Leatherman multitool
- Tools that give your multitool additional functionality.
Flat bit leatherman accessories for EDC gear compatibility include square and hex socket adapters that fit into the multitool flat bit holder. This enables you to use your preferred standard hex bits and ¼” sockets without having to carry an additional tool. 2025 also saw several extensions becoming available for the Leatherman flat bit holder to increase your reach and make it easier to work in confined spaces.
Additional functionality for the Leatherman and other multi-tools arrived in 2025 in the form of flat bit ratchet drivers and ratchet wrenches. These appeared as in-line bit driver ratchets for lower torque applications and EDC ¼” right angle and flex-head ratchet wrenches.
711L EDC tools for Leatherman
These are the 711L EDC tools for Leatherman that we have launched this year to global (and near Earth orbit) acclaim from EDC gear users. The news is that there is more to come in time for the festive season! Have a look at our selection of EDC gear and you’ll see that we have developed Leatherman solutions for our main categories of iconic EDC tools with one notable exception, which we’ll reveal in our next article!
- 711L flat-end 2-in-1 ¼” socket and hex bit extension adapter
- 711L EDC Leatherman ratchet driver
- Flex head & fixed head flat bit holder compatible 711L EDC ratchet wrenches
Our flat-end 2-in-1 adapter for Leatherman was an instant hit, giving your Leatherman tool instant compatibility for ¼” sockets and ¼” hex bits of all types, flat and standard. It features a patented sliding action to switch between socket driver and bit holder that makes it extremely compact as a standard addition to your EDC gear pouch.
We found many discussions among the EDC community, especially on Reddit, about trying to find a high quality inline ratchet driver that was compatible with Leatherman flat bit holders. Some people were uncertain about the use of plastics in the name brand version, which was also difficult to source. We listened to the EDC community and designed an all metal inline ratchet driver for Leatherman to meet your needs.
The 711L fixed and flex head EDC ratchet wrenches were already top performers for fans of compact, high quality, high tooth count ratchets that they could rely on, so it was a logical step to make a flat bit fixed and flex head versions that would add ¼” ratchet capabilities to your Leatherman tool.
What tools for Leatherman did 711L release in 2025?
711L released new or updated versions of all our flat bit holder Leatherman compatible tools and accessories in 2025 to meet the strong demand from EDC fans for a selection of high quality EDC tools that were compatible with their multitool flat bit holder. At this time, supply shortages of ratchet drivers manufactured by multitool brands also increased demand among EDC users for high quality alternatives.
At 711L EDC, the feedback on the quality and reliability of our inline ratchet drivers, fixed and flex-head ratchet wrenches for Leatherman was extremely positive. Towards the end of the year 711L EDC gear entered the space age, with one of our Leatherman ratchet wrenches being used on the International Space Station, and it’s hard to get better feedback than having your tools preferred by an astronaut!
