I needed to use the scissors on the leatherman style I carry on my car keys this morning and found that the spring has broken off about half way along it. No piece fell out so no idea when it broke.Seeing as the style went out of production a long time ago I'll have to make a new one I think.Here's a comparison pic with it next to a good one that I carry on my work keys...(Image removed from quote.)
no apparent reasons..

There are at least half a dozen threads and 10 or more separate instances that I've seen on here of the springs breaking on the Style, Style PS and Squirt PS4. It's a very common failure on all the models.
Bad part is they break while folded up, not in use.

Its not had any issues so far. I've used the scissors a few times and they work fine. Fingers crossed for now.
I've had the exact same failure on two Style PSes- LM replaced it with no arguing both times, but if it happens again I'm going to ask for a Micra as replacement
