Thread: Leatherman vs Swiss knife

Not sure that applies with corrosion though? They also don't fix them any more I think, it's a replacement as far as I know. The last one I sent back for repair just got straight out replaced with a different model of the same tool which annoyed me a little - it didn't have two blades one serrated and one straight just a combined serrated and straight and then a set of scissors. Not quite such a useful tool. Also gave me a hard time about proving ownership which was a bit hard as I was given the thing as a gift but brand new...

i had a similar issue. My leatherman, given to me on my 50th lived in my pocket at work for 2 years. Gave it heaps. sharpened a couple of times. ended up breaking one of the plier snouts off twisting something i shouldn't.
Enquired about getting the end replaced, even off an old one. Wouldnt of cared, silly enough to say it was a present. yeah nah.
Put it on the back burner and its been over a year now ill have another go and just say i i lost the reciept. Hope he doesn't remember the plier thing lol
