My leatherman rusted and I have just let it go. I think now I will take advantage of the warranty.
Thanks for the thread.
whats interesting is leatherman is right by PDX which is a stones throw from the Al Queda who were taking target practice in a quarry across the Columbia a few years ago.
Mr. Leatherman may make a good product, but his political decisions lack.
Consider a Victorinox Swiss Tool RS.
IMO, it's superior to all the other folding multi-tools out there, including my Wave. The only major design flaw is that neither blade opens with one hand. Victorinox is probably aware of this complaint and it wouldn't surprise me if they are working on correcting it.
