Mike,
The screw driver spiral is not a suprise, the tool blades are not heat treat as well as the cutting blades. In that regards Leatherman does a much better job.

That being said, I have a literal drawer full of multitools. I have used just about every major one on the market. The Swisstool is the best I have found. The fit and finish are flawless, the locking system is very precise, and I have used mine hard and it has stood up well.

For car duty, I like the Supertool200, and for pocket carry the Lm Pulse is awesome. At work there is a Wave on my duty belt, and for light weight back packing an old PST in a Normark sheath is just the ticket. On my keyring is a Micra, that will soon be replaced by a Squirt P4. There is an LM Juice Cs4 in my Jacket.

I Love leathermann Tools. The Swisstool is better.
