I guess since Swiss Army knives aren't selling in the USA ever since the Leatherman came out they needed to jump into the mutli-tool market also.

Leatherman started it and everyone else is just a imitation.
Its not just a cheap imitation of the Leatherman, Victorinox made it better in a lot of ways.

My first Tool was a Leatherman Supertool and I was hooked. But a few years later after seeing the SwissTool and its better workmanship I had to admit that the SwissTool is the better Tool(Maybe not for every job because of the shorter plier or the wrong screwdrivers or other tools). And something that impressed me a lot was that Individual springs hold each tool in place, when you select a function only that tool will be released. No clumping of tools, you just get the one you need.

And saying that Leatherman was the one that invented the "Tools" or came up with the whole "Tool thing" is not an argument that they are the only ones that know how to make a good Tool.
