Well I guess I haven't caught up on threads quick enough :facepalm:

Let's drop this thread before anyone else decides to leave guys :salute:

Plenty have had a say in both sides so let's just let it be now :police:

In the end he got a tool that does function and the retailer fixed the situation as best they could and that is that  :cheers:

I don't know if we really lost Ryan. Sure, I hope not, but that's up to him. He says he never had a Leatherman before or dealt with th company, yet did not appear willing, at least not at first, to accept some of the more experienced advice offered here. Understandably upset with his first transaction. Too bad, too. Hopefully he takes some time to cool off and pops back in

Being called a douche canoe in his first topic that he started I think Ryan reacted quite polite ...  And please don't say that the douche canoe remark wasn't aimed at him, English might not be my native language, but I can still read between the lines.

Leatherman U.S.A.'s warranty is so great that you can send in a busted tool that you found on the side of the road and they'll fix it.  But when you buy a brand new tool that is flawed from an online retailer they can't help you ... And when the customer finds this weird he's acting like a douche ...

This is the last thing I'm going to post in this topic.

Listen guys drop it.

I was being polite before but if you guys want to continue bickering then take it to PM

There are plenty  of things on both sides that should never have been said.  So I am going to ask once more to let this thread be dropped and let's continue on in other more constructive not destructive threads.

I find this all just a bit ridiculous. LM QC notwithstanding, if you order something from Amazon and it is not up to spec, return it immediately before disparaging the product manufacturer. Give the ASAP return a chance. The whole process of receiving an exchange would take infinitely less time than wrangling with the manufacturer's customer service. If the exchange is also not up to snuff then you have a case.


Again you step in late to fan the fire....not cool  !

"Came in late?" Because I didn't read pages of this thread before responding to the original post?

I've been "notified" of the no name caling conduct of this forum (of which I was already aware before I called someone a "referee.") Then I was called a "snot-nosed little whiner" by a moderator.

The thread should have been closed pages ago before a few keyboard toughies got their dander up. But since I've been threatened to have the "plug pulled" on my membership, I'll save the mods the trouble...

I would be worried if moderators use that kind of language in their communication with members regardless of the situation. Would it be possible to hear from management on the subject? I've always found this forum to be the friendliest and politest in the world of EDC, knives, tools, etc.

Been using my dash camera for a few weeks.  I play an odd variety of music on my drives.  Usually I use the internet for music but lately I've been playing the radio.  I watched a few drives recorded from my dash camera and I'm not sure how I managed to avoid so many accidents.

I have been considering trying a dashcam recently. The casino near my work attracts a lot of people who have no business driving on the highway I have to drive 20 miles on. They do crazy stuff and I often narrowly escape a wreck. I would love to have proof of their recklessness!
Is it a built in cam or a add-on?

I still burn audio CDs fron MP3s.  :rofl:
My SUV is 16 years old and still has the original CD player. I need two new tires,  but will have to drive slow in the rain for a few more weeks. :facepalm:

Its a cheap add on.  I really like having it tho because of anything potential that could occur.  I am really thinking about a rear one as well.  This is not one I'd recommend but for now its not terrible.  We have a thread regarding dash cameras which had some good suggestions.  I forget the one I recommended in that thread and I think the thread was started by Kev ( minion ).

Mine costed only $20 but only lasted for about 2 months before the screen went black. Went back for a refund and bought a "crisis-light" online instead.

What's an "oil level"?
J/K
My car leaks a quart a month from the main seal, so I just keep it topped off and rarely have to change the oil. The car sat up three years unused when I lived up north and has had gasket and seal issues since I moved back. Even had to fix the whole vacuum system, because most of the vac hoses were rotten. :ahhh

Mechanickal. My thoughts exactly. :rofl:

Eamo,
The car takes 5 quarts, and loses one a month. So 20% a month loss. I just top it off once a month and check it every few days. Just in case. :cheers:
The car is a Ford Escape V6, which is really a Mazda Tribute V6. 16 years old. :P
