Leatherman has announced the launch of the T-Series, a set of multi-purpose tools that are part of the premium Leatherman FREE Collection.
The T-Series follows the successful introduction of the innovative P-Series for pliers, and features first-of-its-kind magnetic technology, which is fully integrated into the design, making it easier for users to open, handle and close each tool.
A new locking system also helps to reduce the wear and tear of each tool and the addition of elastomer springs makes the T-Series the most durable in Leatherman’s history.
Garry Woodhouse, sales and marketing director at Whitby & Co. – exclusive distributor of Leatherman in the UK for over 25 years – said: “We are thrilled to release this 21st century multi-purpose tool which includes two new styles. The Leatherman T-Series has been engineered to make every tool even easier to use.
“Cutting-edge magnetic architecture makes this series the easiest multi-purpose tools to open and close with no need for a nail nick. The smooth mechanism and distinctive solid click gives the user confidence that the tool is locked in place and ready for use.”
The Leatherman T-Series is available in two styles: T2 and T4, both offering users a choice of 20 tools between the two styles, to suit their needs.
All of the tools made on the FREE platform include:
Access to all implements from the outside of the tool plus the elimination of a nail nick, which required a fingernail to deploy the tool.
A proprietary magnetic architecture which ensures smooth, frictionless deployment of the implements.
A new locking system which drastically reduces friction when opening and closing tools. The addition of new elastomer springs makes this collection the most durable Leatherman has ever produced.
Epic haptics that allow each tool to open and close seamlessly with a distinct click providing confirmation that the tool is open and ready for use.
Textured signature design to provide a distinct look and offer enhanced grip.
The T-Series features eight to 12 tools that pack into a convenient size, making it perfect for everyday use. At just 3.3 ounces, the T2 is the most compact offering from the FREE collection, fitting easily in the user’s pocket or purse.
With all the assets of the T2, plus a scissors, tweezers, and a heavy duty fie, the T4 was designed with everyday problem solving in mind, making it one of Leatherman’s most universal tool to date.
Garry added: “Fans of Leatherman will be really impressed by this use of cutting-edge engineering technology which creates tools that are packed with new features, putting a toolbox full of functionality in the palm of their hand.
“Regardless of who our audience is or what they do, we’re committed to providing high-quality, multi-purpose tools that our existing and new fans can always rely on.”

Young Brits are most generous this Giving Tuesday
A research poll of over 2000 people by international charity Sightsavers has found that Brits aged 16-29 will be the most generous over the festive season, with each young person planning to donate an average of £60.23 to charity, over £10 more than the national average of £47.
This compares to £48.70 for 30-44 years old, £39.20 for 45-59-year olds and £29.80 for those over 60. It also found that men planned to donate more than women on average, saying that they would give £56.50 as opposed to £41.20 from women.
To challenge the crazy commercialisation of the season this Giving Tuesday, Sightsavers is offering donors of all ages the chance to grab a festive bargain by getting their donations doubled thanks to UK Aid Match. Until 9 January 2020 all donations to Sightsavers will be doubled by the UK government, up to a total of £2 million
Sightsavers’ Director of Global Individual Giving & Marketing, Becki Jupp said:
“As our research has found, the average person plans to donate £47 over the festive period. That’s enough to fund an operation to correct the in-turned eyelashes of someone with the advanced stages of the blinding eye disease, trachoma. The £60 donated by 16-24-year olds is enough to protect a whole community against the disease.
“I am sure people will be thrilled to hear that until 9 January, the UK government is matching all donations made to Sightsavers up to £2 million, doubling your impact. A donation before 9 January means Sightsavers can deliver twice as much quality eye care to those who need it.”
Sightsavers has been fighting trachoma for many years and now, at last, the end is in sight. Trachoma is a bacterial eye infection that can cause people to slowly and agonisingly go blind. Yet trachoma is preventable and can be treated. The organisation is aiming to wipe out the disease in the countries it works in by 2025.
Eliminating trachoma and providing improved ongoing access to eye health care can transform the lives of some of the most marginalised people across Africa. Once they are no longer dependent on family members and communities, they can start to take control of their own future.
Matched funding raised through UK Aid Match will support our eye health projects in Uganda and Malawi. Public donations will be used to support our work wherever the need is greatest.

7 tricks to keep high sugar foods from sneaking their way into your diet
By Gudrun Jonsson, Author of the international bestseller, Gut Reaction and Dietary Advisor to Nibble Protein (www.nibbleprotein.com)
So, we all know sugar isn’t good for us – there’s nothing new there. But the problem is that sugar, often in large quantities, is turning up in unexpected places, so it’s not always so easy to make the healthiest choices.
Banishing all sugar is not realistic, or indeed much fun. The occasional cheat is pretty fundamental, however, it’s important to know when you’re cheating, so that you can take control of your diet, and understand what’s in the foods you’re using to fuel your body.
To explain more, sugar expert Gudrun Jonsson, shares her top tips:
CHECK THE SUGAR PERCENTAGE OF EVERYTHING YOU EAT—YOU’LL BE SURPRISED!
When you look at labels, always check the nutrition values per 100g, as this will give you the percentage of each food group. So, if there is 45g of sugar per 100g, the food is 45% sugar (sounds super obvious, but it’s easy to forget it’s that simple). This is the best way to compare foods because most products have totally different serving sizes and it means you are comparing all your foods like for like.
NOTE THAT THE NHS DEFINES “HIGH SUGAR” AS FOODS THAT CONTAIN 22.5g OF SUGAR (OR MORE) PER 100g.
This is a really good rough guide to remember when checking those labels. Many snack bars/ balls are a staggering 40%+ sugar! Knowing this means you can choose your cheats wisely and you’ll be aware when you’re consuming so called “healthy” foods that are actually packed with sugar.
WHEN “ENERGY” IS USED THE NAME OF A PRODUCT, IT’S USUALLY CODE FOR “HIGH IN SUGAR”.
Energy bars were originally designed to eat immediately before high impact exercise, when you’d be using up glucose quickly. But if you’re eating these at other times (like while sitting in your office or chilling on the coach), you’ll just get a ton of extra sugar, or carbs, that your body can’t use. Once your body maxes out its carb stores, your body will store the excess as fat. This sugary hit will also send your blood sugar soaring, then crashing, making you feel worse off than before.
DATES ARE SUPER HIGH IN SUGAR, NOT A SUPERFOOD
Yes, they’re “all-natural” and they’re in absolutely everything, but they’re still 65-80% sugar (depending on variety). That means that “healthy” date ball is probably close to half sugar, so watch out!
Instead, switch from date-based snacks to those made with dried plums. Dried plums contain over 40% less sugar than dates, they are the food ranked #1 in antioxidant power, and they provide slow releasing energy. Try award-winning Nibble Protein Bites and Nibble Brownie Bites (www.nibbleprotein.com) which taste like treats, but are very low in sugar and really satiating.
DON’T GET CONNED BY “NO REFINED SUGAR” AND “NO ADDED SUGAR” CLAIMS– THEY CAN BE REALLY MISLEADING
Although whole food sources of sweetness are usually preferable to most refined sugars, because they add benefits like fibre which slows down the breakdown, it doesn’t mean that the sugar doesn’t count. If a food is high in sugar, it’s high in sugar. Many “no added sugar” snack bars and balls are higher in sugar than conventional chocolate bars. Also, many brands use “no added sugar” claims very literally to mean that they just haven’t added table sugar– i.e. they are still adding sweeteners like agave.
DON’T GET SEDUCED BY “ALL NATURAL” MARKETING CLAIMS, “ALL NATURAL” DOESN’T NECESSARILY EQUATE TO HEALTHY
Without a doubt, eat “all-natural” foods, but don’t assume that means they are healthy—particularly with processed snacks. Just because those millionaire bars are made with “all-natural” ingredients, doesn’t make them intrinsically healthy. Remember, the ingredients you use to bake at home are usually all-natural, but you’d never mistake a cake as being healthy. After all, table sugar is made from “all natural” sugar cane (or beets)!
FIRST CHECK THE AMOUNT OF SUGAR USED, THEN THE TYPE OF SUGAR
The amount of sugar is the first priority, next is the type of sugar—i.e. how quickly that sugar will break down and enter your blood stream. Choose Low Glycaemic Index options that break down more slowly, offering a host of benefits from providing sustained energy to improving mood and concentration. The Glycaemic Index rates foods from 1-100, with pure glucose topping the scale at 100 and table sugar coming in at around 60-70. The higher the GI number the quicker your body breaks it down, creating a sugar rush and then a subsequent crash. Many leading snack bars/balls are made with brown rice syrup which sounds healthy, but it has a GI of 98 so we’re talking serious sugar rush here. And many popular nut bars are wrapped in pure glucose syrup.
Customer experience takes centre stage this Black Friday and Cyber Monday
London 02.12.2019 – Figures have suggested this year’s Black Friday sales have broken buying records in the UK[1], with British consumers heading towards a combined spend of £5.6 billion on Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year[2]. The digital era has caused a shift in consumer behaviour, where shoppers now prefer speed and convenience over going in-store to purchase goods. In fact, 92 per cent claim they will buy at least one item over the internet this weekend – this includes the 56 per cent of customers who intend to do all their shopping over the internet.
Despite an increase in online shopping, a PwC study found that 75 per cent of consumers desire human interaction as part of the digital journey[3]. More retailers are therefore investing in assisted intelligence solutions that create a seamless brand experience in order to compete in the competitive online environment, according to Sameer Parvez, Head of Retail & Ecommerce at Teleperformance Group.
Sameer Parvez comments, “With sales predicted to be 800 per cent more than a regular Monday[4], it is imperative retailers have a digital customer experience in place that integrates chatbots with their existing customer interaction channels, alleviating pressure from customer service agents. The demand for chat services is significant, with over 50 per cent of consumers preferring this method of instant communication[5].”
Sameer continues: “As more and more consumers go online, companies that adopt an omni-channel customer engagement strategy can retain an average 89% of their customers[6], deepening the relationship between the brand and the consumer.”
Sameer concludes: “In order to stay relevant to consumers who now expect 24 hour communication, retailers must respond to this need and boost their digital online experience by considering a High-Tech, High-Touch approach. This gives shoppers the option to speak to a customer service advisor as well as round-the-clock online chat services.”

DON’T GET YOUR SNICKERS® IN A TWIX® – BOUNTY®LOVERS ALSO LOVE BRUSSEL SPROUTS!
As the festive season approaches, Mars Wrigley UK has delved into your Christmas habits…
2nd December 2019: Every year the nation is divided on what makes the perfect Christmas Day. As a brand behind much of this debate, Mars Wrigley UK has taken matters into its own hands to poll Brits and reveal the top festive CELEBRATIONS® – the treat that truly polarises the nation.
There are debates year-on-year surrounding the hotly contested BOUNTY®,with 30 per cent of a survey of 2,000 Brits claiming it was their least favourite CELEBRATIONS® sweet. However, the new research also shows that for almost one fifth of the nation (19%), BOUNTY® is their top choice this festive season – along with Brussel sprouts!
While these BOUNTY® hunters’ taste buds may be hotly contested, 20 per cent of the coconut loving fans also have a liking to the controversial Brussel sprout. Indeed, if you’re concerned about food waste this holiday season, be sure to invite a BOUNTY® fan to your table.
Roast potatoes came out on top in terms of people’s top three favourite foods of Christmas dinner (41%), which was followed by turkey (33%), pigs in blankets (31%) and stuffing (20%).
Before you jump into your Christmas day debates, the survey also revealed that despite some of the nation turning their nose up at the coconut chocolate, one in five (20%) of those who voted against the treat hadn’t tried a BOUNTY® in over five years.
But let’s not forget about the rest of the tub – MALTESERS® Teasersare the nation’s favourite (22%), closely followed by GALAXY®Caramel (21%). Mr. and Mrs. Claus can’t agree on their Celebrations favourites with over a quarter (28%) of women declaringMALTESERS® Teasers as their favourite, while over a fifth (21%) of men admit that GALAXY® Caramel is their favourite CELEBRATIONS® treat.
Hannah Vose, CELEBRATIONS® Senior Brand Manager, Mars Wrigley UK said: “Every year we enjoy seeing the debates rage about the nation’s favourite CELEBRATIONS®, although it was surprising to see that the Brits who opted against BOUNTY® hadn’t eaten it for a number of Christmas’. It’s not uncommon for our sense of taste to change over time, so whether you’re adverse to BOUNTY®, or even Brussel sprouts, we’d suggest you give it a chance this holiday season – who knows, you could be in for a Christmas miracle!”
The findings also revealed that six in ten (61%) of Brits weren’t aware of the hidden meaning behind the CELEBRATIONS® logo. While obvious to some, the letters that make up the CELEBRATIONS® logo actually correspond with the fonts from the range of chocolates inside.
Whatever your favourite, CELEBRATIONS® is carefully mixed to ensure there’s something for everyone, so it is perfect for sharing.
Top tips to be the perfect gift giver
Yiannis Faf, Co-founder, WhatWeWant (www.whatwewant.co.uk)
New research from crowdgifting app WhatWeWant has revealed that more than half (53%) of UK consumers have received unwanted gifts last Christmas.
This inevitably means widespread disappointment for recipients, with a shocking 43% admitting to taking their unwanted gifts to a local charity shop, while 41% used their unwanted presents as gifts for other people. But some unhappy recipients do not even bother to recycle their gifts, with one in five (20%) admitting to throwing their gifts straight in the bin.
Do you want to make sure your gift avoids such an unfortunate fate this festive season? Well, here are five top tips to ensure your presents are a resounding success:
Plan ahead
We all lead very busy lives, and it’s too easy to leave your present purchases until the very last minute. However, planning ahead gives you plenty of time to do your research and find out exactly what your friend or family member wants.
Stick to a budget
Did you know, 34% of gift-givers overcompensate for a lack of good idea by completely blowing their budget? Throwing money at a problem is not the solution; as much as your loved ones enjoy receiving presents, it’s unlikely they’d be happy with you going into debt for their sake. Buying something that is too expensive leaves both the giver and receiver in an awkward situation, so create a budget and stick to it.
Join forces
They say two heads are better than one, but what about five or six? If you’re struggling for a gift idea, why not collaborate with other friends and family members. The benefits speak for themselves: nobody overspends and, most importantly, it allows you to buy someone something special that they’d never purchase for themselves. Win-win!
Don’t be shy, just ask
Perhaps the best way of avoiding giving an unwanted present is to actually ask the recipient what they want. With 50% of consumers dropping hints to loved ones in the run up to Christmas, asking them outright will make sure the perfect gift is not lost in translation.
Think outside the box
Heading straight to the usual online or high-street outlets might seem like a failsafe gift-giving option’ however, don’t be afraid to think a bit differently. With almost half (48%) of gift-givers preferring an experiential gift over material items, why not consider a spa treatment, restaurant voucher or gig tickets instead?
Yiannis Faf is co-founder of the crowd-gifting app, WhatWeWant. The app, which Yiannis created alongside his family, allows users to create a gift for an upcoming event for themselves, or for someone else. Users can contribute to gifts as well as notify their friends and family to contribute to their own gifts. Once enough has been raised, users simply use the money to buy their dream gift, cutting out a lot of stress, wasted money and unwanted gifts.
WhatWeWant is now available to download on iPhone and Android.

Celebrated England, Manchester United and now Derby County footballer Wayne Rooney is set to appear in a rare TV interview on Back of the Net, which airs tonight on Prime Video.
The footballer joins hosts Peter Crouch, Gabby Logan and John Bishop to discuss breaking records, borrowing money from Gazza, his favourite films, plus his predictions for Wednesday’s Merseyside Derby.
Talking of being a confident young player in the Premier League at just 16, Rooney, who took his place in the Derby Country dugout for the first time this weekend, reveals: “I’ve always been confident. The minute I got into Everton’s first team I knew I was the best player. That’s not me being cocky. We just had a very bad team at the time!”
Following an occasion when Paul Gascoigne visited the team in the dressing room, he recalls: “I remember Gazza coming to see us in the changing room and asking ‘Is anyone going out tonight? I’ll give you a bit of money’. Me being confident I say ‘yes’, and Gazza came up to me and gave me £40. It was only a few years ago when I saw him again, he asked for his £40 back…!”
Despite breaking multiple records through his illustrious career, Rooney isn’t motivated by them, adding: “I’m sick of getting records. I got [youngest player to score at the Euro’s in 2004], and it was broken 4 days later. I was the youngest player to score in the Premier League, then James Milner broke it about a month later. I just set the bar and then people come and take them.”
Asked what Wayne was like to have around when playing for England, Peter Crouch notes that he “was just bubbly all the time. There was no chill, whatsoever. He always had a film on or something.”
…and what were those films? Rooney reveals his favourite movies: “Oliver!, Titanic, I’ve got a few favourite films. My kids started watching ‘Flushed Away’ and I watched it with them, and it was actually alright. I liked it.”
Looking ahead to the Merseyside derby this Wednesday, which will air live on Prime Video with coverage starting at 8.15pm, Rooney predicts: “I think Everton will get a draw. The way it has been going has been tough. I think they’ll pull together. It’s a massive game for the city and, if Everton win, it could stop Liverpool winning the title.”
Wayne Rooney’s legendary bicycle kick goal for Manchester United against Manchester City has also been brought to life on The Thames using London’s famous Tower Bridge as a giant goal. The dramatic recreation marks a national poll to decide the best ever Premier League goal, celebrating the kick off of Premier League football on Amazon Prime Video this week.
The athletic strike scored in February 2011 was named the best Premier League goal of all time in a comprehensive Amazon poll of British football fans, ahead of Prime Video’s live and exclusive broadcast of twenty Premier League matches this December, with the first games kicking on tomorrow night. The goal, which pipped world class strikes by David Beckham and Dennis Bergkamp into top spot, was brought to life in a spectacular sculpture, with Rooney and keeper Joe Hart each standing 12ft tall on a 5,000 square foot segment of pitch and the iconic landmark Tower Bridge standing in for the Old Trafford goal, the size of 140 standard football goals.
Dancing into the Best Celebration category was Peter Crouch for his signature robot dance with 19% voting for him. The recently retired player and Back of the Net host even headed to The Thames to collect his award and kicked a ball towards the Tower Bridge goal before re-enacting his winning celebration.
This episode of Back of the Net will be available this evening, only on Amazon Prime Video.
