I recently gave my gal's nephew in Iraq a Leatherman Supertool, he loved it but it broke after a few weeks. This is the 5th Leatherman I have owned with each failing in some way. I came to a conclusion about gear used in the field a long time ago, still applicable...it may have a "Lifetime" warranty but if it fails in the field it may cost you your life!! I put the Leatherman tools in this category! I am sending the young US Army man in Iraq, a new Victorinox Swiss Tool, same as I now carry everywhere, far superior!!
