What happened to Leatherman? (lemmy.world)

Their quality is a shit. I bought a wave+ 2 years ago, broke within a couple months (spring in pliers broke making pliers unusable). Sent it back and they say it’s not repairable so they give me a different one (mine was laser engraved). Then the replacement breaks (spring that holds pocket clip in place). I don’t even use the Leatherman that much, and wasn’t doing anything that could be outside of light use.

80s made some decent ones, but mid 90s I got some crap. Stopped trying after 3rd model that just sucked... Not smooth after a few weeks, or quality control from day 1, etc... Just not pleasing and certainly not worth the cost.

I've gotten Gerber most other times, and have been largely happy with their stuff... Usually if something happens, it's obviously my own stupid fault like over torquing with the pliers or snapping the blade doing something really stupid.
