Registering Leatherman Joke

That was more of a survey than a registration.
They should just call it what it is :twak:

I've filled more than a few Leatherman registrations,I do suppose they have their reasoning behind it all.Other,unrelated products I've bought in my time have used a similar format.

Most of the knife/tool manufacturers seem to do that.  I hate registering new Buck knives because of it...

Registration of tools is reasonably important for warranty issues, but as Leathermans at least can be dated by the stamp inside the handles, it isn't that huge a deal normally.  The rest of the questions are a result of the manufacturer's desire to understand who is buying and using their tools, which is very important for the research and development of the next generation of tools.  By understanding what types of folks are buying the tools, and what they are using them for they can design and build future tools that suit your needs more accurately.

If you could get 5,000 people to send in registrations with "I HATE CAN OPENERS" written on it, I doubt you'd see another Leatherman tool with a can opener.

There is a law in the USA which states that an owner does not need to register the product in order to take advantage of the warranty.  In the USA, registration forms are mainly marketing tools to solicit consumer information.

Other than purchased software I can't remember the last time I registered anything other than my Fisher Paykel washing machine.  Honestly, I can't remember why I registered that, either.  ???  BTW, my cracked LM Core didn't have any #'s anywhere on/in it. I returned it to the place of purchase and they swapped it for a new one, which does have a date stamp. Gotta love that customer service!

I agree that there's no real benefit to me to register, but I usually do it anyway someday when I'm bored :D Takes a couple of minutes and I don't mind helping out LM, especially since in theory it helps them make tools designed for me :)
