Leatherman has always been the brand you could count on to do one thing extremely well: pack an absurd number of tools into a deceptively small package. But Garage Batch #009 doesn’t follow that playbook at all, and I think that’s exactly why it’s worth talking about.

The Garage line is Leatherman’s unofficial skunkworks. It’s where the company test-markets experimental tools in limited batches, which means low quantities, no guarantees of a permanent future, and a demographic of buyers who treat a tool drop like a sneaker release. Batch #009, officially named the Adapter, is a ratcheting bit driver that looks unlike anything else in Leatherman’s catalog. Core77 put it best when they noted that if you didn’t know any better, you’d think it was someone’s industrial design school thesis project. That’s not a criticism. It’s kind of a compliment.

Designer: Leatherman

The Adapter is built from 3D printed titanium, which gives it that slightly precious, proof-of-concept feel you don’t usually associate with something you’d use to fix a cabinet hinge. It folds at a hinge joint and can be configured in three positions: fully extended for reach, bent at 90 degrees for torque leverage, and folded shut for compact carry. The ratcheting mechanism works in forward, reverse, and locked positions, so you’re not doing that annoying micro-repositioning shuffle every time you need to drive a screw. That alone is a genuinely useful upgrade over most compact bit drivers on the market.

But here’s the part that turns this from “useful niche tool” into “object I want to own”: the handle. Leatherman tucked a wood saw, a metal file, and two bits inside the handle compartment, all secured with a screw cap. They also stowed a mini ballpoint pen and an eyeglass screwdriver in there. If that sounds like the setup for a very organized person’s favorite fidget toy, you’re not wrong. The neon green accent strip on the handle doesn’t exactly scream jobsite. It says something closer to “I paid attention in design school and I have opinions about EDC.”

I want to be honest about the audience here. The Garage line isn’t really for the electrician or the contractor who needs to pull a hundred screws before lunch. It’s for the person who has a Wave on their keychain and a thing for limited-edition objects that are also actually functional. One reviewer summed it up with a note of friendly resignation: “I guess I have to accept the reality that Leatherman is like Supreme now.” That quote has been floating around the internet, and whether it’s a dig or a badge of honor probably depends on who you’re asking. I’d argue it’s both.

The drop sold out fast. High demand on a small batch is Leatherman’s way of gauging whether something deserves to graduate into a full production run, which is a smart and low-risk way to innovate. Not everything from the Garage line makes it. But the Adapter feels like a strong candidate for becoming a permanent fixture, because once you get past the art-project aesthetics, the core concept is genuinely practical.

Compact ratcheting bit drivers with smart storage have a real market. People are constantly trying to slim down their tool kits without sacrificing capability, and a folding driver that also carries your most-reached-for accessories covers a lot of ground in a small footprint. The 3D printed titanium construction keeps it light without making it feel cheap, and the three-position folding system solves an actual ergonomic problem that flat bit drivers have always had.

Whether you’re a gear collector who watches tool drops the way other people watch sneaker releases, or just someone who wants a smarter carry for weekend projects, the Adapter makes a case for itself without needing to oversell anything. Leatherman took a weird swing, and it mostly landed.
