When using the flathead screwdriver I torqued it and it bent in a spiral fashion right down to the handle connection.

It screwed up the open close function of that tool and all the others on that side.

The second tool, I cracked the wire cutting blade in the pliers in half. I was cutting a thicker guage wire and thought it could handle it. It chipped a piece out about 3/4 of the cutting blade on one side, fell right off.

Moral of the story, Multitools are handy gadgets but they do not replace proper tools for the job.
Everything else about the swiss tool was fine.

So far so good with the wave and yes it is loose when closed by design. I have mine worked in almost to the point of opening like a butterfly knife.

I am hard on my gear too by the way.
