Me too, got excited for nothing. But then I wondered - maybe that's where their name comes from?

- szszrk 1y agoThe brand's name came simply from Tim Leatherman, their founder. I don't know what is the real origin of his family name, though :)
- Podrod 1y agoOne would assume it's an occupational surname like Tanner.
- wyclif 1y agoI have to admit, when I discovered this I was a bit disappointed. For a long time I thought it was just a great brand name somebody came up with instead of the founder's last name.
- lazide 1y agoA good last name is the best kind of brand name though? It’s 100% commitment.
- GuB-42 1y agoYes, Li-ion batteries would have been so much better had they been called "Goodenough batteries". And we already have Galvanic cells and Voltaic piles, so it wouldn't have been the first battery named after its creator.
- gorfian_robot 1y agoTim is still kicking and doing promo events. I ran into him under a tent selling tools in downtown Melbourne!
- sparky_z 1y agoNope. It's named after its inventor, Tim Leatherman.
