Bummer. Looks like someone's sending a package to Leatherman in the near future.


Still, at least it will be taken care of.

Not sure if modded tools are covered by the warranty...

If warranty falls through, I recommend to get replacement from loki-mobile
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

How badly was it stuck?

I've torqued on a number of bit drivers over the years and haven't had any break.

Will probably use loki-mobile, yes the screw was very tight but I thought it would loosen up, actually the screw snapped when I used an other wrench
