Hi all,
So I recently sent in my Leatherman blast that was pretty rough around the edges, had a broken mini flathead, and a stripped flathead screwdriver for warranty work, and figured I would ask how your experience was with Leatherman's warranty? It isn't imperative that I get it back immediately (they got it on 29 June) as I also have a Leatherman Wave, but I figured I would see how the turnaround time was for warranty work. Also, from what I've been reading, the Blast was discontinued some time ago - any chance they'd be able to get me a refurb'd old stock, or will they be switching it with a new model? All of the topics I see on this when I Google are from more than a year ago, so I figured it was worth asking.
Thanks!

I have used the warranty twice, once with two tools and the other with one. They both took about a week from me leaving them at the post office to me opening them back up. They usually just replaced my tool, but I have never sent in a retired model. I live in the Northeast US.
-
I've used it twice and got a new replacement in 5days tops :salute: great service :salute:
-
In my experiences turnaround time varies from 1 - 3 weeks. If it is a discontinued model and you did not mark the paperwork as sentimental they may replace it with another tool. I can't remember what they replace the Blast with.
-
My experience with them is the same as above. Pretty quick turnaround. I expect you will be receiving a Rebar as a replacement.
-
I sent a kick and an original supertool in a few years ago and they replaced them both. They actually replaced the ST with an original one. I was happily surprised. I figured they would send back a Core (which was the equivalent at the time). Turnaround was about 10 days door to door.

Thanks for the responses! I did fill out the paperwork and still have a copy with the reference number for the warranty work. I might call to follow up today, but am in the process of apartment hunting, so thats been taking up the majority of my time lately.

what shipping service did leatherman use to return your items?
Still waiting to get my skele back, it's been two weeks

has anyone had their warranty claims rejected? If so did they notify you?
Still waiting for my skele...the tracking number shows it was delivered to them on june 21st. I'm sure it'll be here in the next couple days :gimme:

Call them and see what they're going to do. I've sent tools in that they replaced, those came back fast. Other tools that were repaired took longer to get back. I seriously doubt your claim will be rejected. Leatherman has one of the best warranty programs I've come across, and honestly if has Leatherman on it they warranty it from my experience.

thanks.
I'll give it a little more time before calling....I'm not really that concerned, it was more a curiosity if people had ever been turned down.

I've sent items in twice; both times I sent in 2 items.
First time they actually messed up; they didn't give a replacement for one of the items. The first item was replaced within 3 weeks; I waited another week and contacted them asking about the second--they got a replacement in about 3-4 days for that one.
The second time, they were repaired items and I think the turnaround time was around 3.5 weeks--that time they were stuck on a UPS truck for about 8 days.
I'm consistently impressed by their return/replacement/repair policy. On one hand I feel bad because I've ended up selling 3/4 replacement/repaired items (the one sentimental one was not sold, obviously), but on the other hand I'm a relatively frequent customer for them.
EDIT: For inquiring minds, I still own 3 or 4 Leathermans (one may be lost) and have gifted two away. The ones that I had repaired I was explicit in my description of how I obtained them--used and already damaged--and they told me to send them in. I ended up selling them because I just didn't use them.

Just talked to someone on Leatherman chat they are just opening returns they got on 6-21-17 she told me from the time they open the return it's 20 day turn around

In the UK I sent in a Squirt S4 that had a broken lanyard ring (I could not attach it to my key ring). The outside coating of the S4 was pretty scratched up, but the tools were fine and the scissors were still excellent. I sent to the authorised Leatherman place, Whitby & Co. A week later I got back a new Micra. I paid outgoing postage, they paid the return postage.
Unfortunately in the UK, while the S4 (or any Juice or Squirt or Style) are legal carry, the Micra is technically probably not. :facepalm:
I was going to return the Micra for a Style CS, but my wife saw the Micra and confiscated it for herself to use around the home. Happy ending. :)

They replaced it. I guess there is a first generation skele and second generation and this one is the latter.
thank you leatherman!
So my experience was a month turnaround time. I'm totally cool with that except in that time I bought a SOG power access, a LM signal and just got a LM mini-tool :facepalm: man these MT's are addictive!

What blade was on the original Vs the replacement one? And is it the vanilla Skele or CX?

i sent in vanilla skele with the combo blade and got vanilla skele with combo blade. sorry for any confusion.
here's a video showing the differences between the first and second generation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZKpCh7RykY

Well it looks like it took just under 25 days but the mailman finally had something from Leatherman - looked inside and found a nylon pouch with a Rebar instruction manual, and to my surprise when opening the sheath, it was a Wave!
Leatherman went above and beyond on this one. Kudos!

Got a Leatherman Wingman a few weeks ago second hand and the liner lock for the blade was broken. Did not appear to have been abused or even sharpened and the rest of the tool is fine. I had considered just leaving it as is but someone said that Leatherman will warranty it even though I am not the original purchaser.
Is there a set procedure I have to go through such as contacting them first? I've never had to send anything in to anyone for warranty work(except an Invicta watch and that was a nightmare!). Any info would be greatly appreciated.

there's a form you fill out on the leatherman support page before sending it in

My experience (currently ongoing) is extremely positive. Last week I sent in an original PST with a snapped main blade, which I had incurred a few years ago and forgotten about until recently. I had stated on my mail to customer service that I thought that that, being classifiable as abuse, might not qualify for warranty, but the return mail invited me to fill in the online form for warranty cases, which hint I had promptly taken.
Fast forward to today: phone call, friendly guy advising me that blades were not to be had anymore and was I emotionally attached to the PST? Not that much, I said, whereupon he decided on the spot to mark me for a replacement with a spanking new Wave - woot! Due here end of the week...

Use them to fix other PST's that are marked sentimental. :whistle:
-
That's what I was wondering. Must be a shortage of blades though.
-
I suppose that might be one of the common tools to wear out or break.
-
Yes, probably... I remember the event that led to the blade snapping was not excessively violent (prying a small wire staple out of some wood) and I was frankly surprised that it gave. Today's blades are sturdier, one hopes.

Blades are not for prying. ::)
(On a SAK, the can opener is a nice staple puller.)

I'd normally agree but the staple was dug in and I couldn't reach it with the flat screwdriver I'd otherwise have used... lesson learned.

A decade or so ago, I was on a service call to a factory. One of the workers saw me using my Leatherman and asked if he could borrow it. He said, "thanks," and put it in his pocket. Later in the day I asked for it back and he denied having borrowed it. I told him he was going to be really embarrassed when he pulled it out to use it and found my name engraved in the side. He said, "no it isn't." He was right- I was bluffing, but his supervisor heard the exchange and made him give it back. Apparently, he had done this before, getting "swag" freebies from other visitors.
After returning home, I used an engraver at work to etch my name. Admittedly, my job was not very professional.
I broke the plier heads some months later and returned them to Leatherman for warranty service. I was totally shocked when I received the replacement set - they had my name professionally engraved.
Now THAT is excellent customer service and one of the reasons I've been a happy Leatherman customer since '85.

Yes, completely new with an updated warranty date code.

And I was refused warranty by the distributor in my country, saying that anyone can brake the blade and etc. Yes, but it got broken in normal use, it was not abused. So, my exprerience is NO good.

Which country?

Which country?
Bulgaria...

Which country?
Yeah, I forgot. Bulgaria. Also, from leatherman stopped answering my emails. So, no comment on this...

UK Whitby for warranty here. Sent in a Fuse with missing locking rocker on knife side, on Saturday, 2nd class post. Was a bit rusty in places too, even after a good clean and polish. Got back a Wingman today, 6 days later. No box. Not examined it too closely yet (gift horse etc) but pretty impressed with service and turn around.

My problem in a nutshell:
I have an old Pulse with general looseness, slight play in the pliers and a really loose roller lock. As I live in Hungary, I must deal with warranty returns through the local Leatherman distributor (who send in tools for repair in bulk to LM in Portland), which is fine, but as this is a retired model, first I want to see clear if I get the Pulse back repaired or they send me somthing else. (A Rebar would be fine, but I'd hate to get a Wingman for example.)
I wrote an email to them - meaning the Portland HQ - about two weeks ago, no reply. I wrote them again a week later, explaining the situation nicely for the second time, still not a word from them. Any guesses? Is this normal, I mean the response time?

Not usual for here in the States , I"m not sure how they deal with overseas claims. You would think that they could at least give you a response though.
-
Yeah, definitely strange. ??? That's why I thought to ask around here, maybe someone can figure it out.
-
I have had more than one or two emails go answered form them over the last few years as well :-\ Any time I send a tool thought they are in contact with me but when asking questions it may go to a different department :think:

Not to long ago, I contacted them using the live chat. Seemed to work good. The women answered all my questions. Good luck!

Just sent my Charge in for repair/replacement on 12/5. Will keep everyone posted on the goings on. The plier guide in the handle cracked/popped, the blade is beat and looks to have tar or something similar on the edge, and the small bit is snapped off.
I got it used, and I know a lot of people frown on sending second hand tools in for warranty repair. But this is about the only way I could have a Charge. I do sort of feel bad, but I have zero intention to ever sell or try to profit from their work to fix or replace it. So it'll just keep another tool in use.
Plus I have purchased many tools from them. So I'm excited. The guide issue was bad enough to keep the tool from folding up correctly and it drove me crazy to carry as is. Tried for 8 months

Hi,
from what I know, for people leaving outside US, the broken tool must be sent to distributor and customer pays only for postage to distributor. Is it normal for the distributor to ask customer to cover the postage of the tool to US as well? Or they have to bare that cost?

For us here that is the case, or at least that was the case the one time my tool was sent off to Portland through the local distributor. I only had to pay for the shipping to the local LM dealer and the return from them when it was repaired.
Is your local distributor asking for the US shipping as well, or this only a theoretical question?

Yes, they are asking to pay for the shipping to US as well, which is about 20EUR. I think that it is too hight considering they are sending bulk returns and also that they should be responsible for the return shipping cost from distributor to US leatherman.

Sounds pretty customer-unfriendly to say the least, or even shady. Although I guess they have the right - at least legally - to ask for some/any fee or whatever if you haven't bought the product from them, but it's still not nice at all.
I had a very-very nice experience with the Hungarian Leatherman-guys just this week concerning my old Pulse mentioned above. I'll update my story in a separate post soon.
-
Update concerning my old Pulse:
As I mentioned earlier, I had an old Pulse with a very loose roller lock, and as I live outside the US, I have to go through the Hungarian LM distributor with warranty/repair issues, but they simply send the tools in need of repair to Portland if you haven't purchased the item from them originally. Or at least that was my information from an earlier repair (just a Micra, got replaced in Portland and sent back to me).
Anyway, as the Pulse is a retired model, I wanted to see what LM would replace it with if they won't repair it, so first I wrote an email to the Portland HQ, but got no reply at all. I wrote them again a week later, again nothing. ???
Here, thanks to Glockfan, I learned they have a live chat as well, so I got into contact with them on Monday. The lady, well, how should I say this, was very polite, but not really helpful, she practically ignored my questions, repeatedly told me to turn to the Hungarian distributor, and then she just thanked me for contacting them and finished the chat. ???
So, still in the dark, on Tuesday I called my local LM dealer, and the response was even better than expected. The guy there told me to just send it there, no questions asked, I mean literally, he didn't even ask about the particular problem with the tool. He offered me two options: 1) they send the Pulse over to Oregon, and in 6-8 weeks I may get it back repaired or replaced with something, most likely a Rebar or 2) they just replace it with a Rebar for me locally. As there was nothing certain about the first option - apart from a lengthy wait period - I took the second option, and lo and behold, three days later I'm the happy owner of a new Rebar.
Pretty nice experience if you ask me, and in this case I feel the distibutor outdid the parent company in helpfulness.
I just started familiarizing with the tool, in a couple of days I guess I'll post an initial review as well. (On a relevant thread of course. :) )
-
Very glad to here that your turn around time was that quick :like: I do wish LM had handled the questions you had asked a bit better though :-\ At least the local distributor handled the situation very well :cheers: Congrats on the new Rebar :like: It is a great tool for sure and it should give you many years of great service :tu: :like:
-
Nice!
I wonder if that is a Leatherman policy? I bought a ST 300 yesterday, and the dealer said that it had a "15 year warranty". He then went on to say, if I had any problems with the tool, to bring it into the dealership and they, the dealership, would take care of it.
:think:
Not sure how that would work if one buys a LM from the big river. Interesting.

as for outside US Warranty, my experience mimics yours and I have to agree fully with your statement, in my case Spanish distributor was fast, polite, excellent and very helpful! They deal with good, trustworthy companies in most countries it seems :salute:

Well, not Leathermans fault, but my package is now 3 days late getting to them with no recent update on tracking. said it went out for delivery yesterday, hoping maybe it got delivered end of the day so it wasn't received yet.... I have insurance on it though

Delivered this morning, should get an email tomorrow saying it was received?
-
Got a reply from leatherman which was pretty disappointing. They say that if distributor is requiring the fee, then it is OK. What is more disturbing, is that the distributor is asking for a postage fee that is 3 times higher than what post is asking for.

Yes, I did. And they answer was that fees and instructions are established from my distributor and that they wont reply any of my messages anymore. A very friendly and helpful customer support.

Contacted them via Live Chat just a moment ago, was told their warranty department is about a week behind on opening and processing tools that have been sent in currently

No free lunch? I'm not sure I totally get it either, company wants their money and people who have spent to buy the tools probably don't get amped that other people are getting the same thing for less. But I do agree with you, the warranty is on the tool, not so much a promise to the person who bought it
-
If someone buys a tool that has been abused really cheap though, how is that Leatherman's duty to make it right for the new owner? :think:

It isn't their duty, but on paper there isn't much a difference with who is sending the tool in. If it's deemed worthy of warranty repair I don't see it making a large difference who is sending it in. The new owner may be getting a great deal, but if it isn't being done for resale benefit I don't see it as bad. The tool had at one point been paid for in full. And it's going to keep on serving it's purpose that had been paid for, or another in its place.
Sorry if people don't like sending in a second hand tool, but at the time there was no chance I could swing the price of buying a new charge, and I got so ahead of myself that I didn't realize the plier guide was broken. Now the refurbed tool is going back to someone who's a MT freak who will keep it forever.
-
I don't feel strongly either way.
If it's deemed worthy of warranty repair I don't see it making a large difference who is sending it in.
I guess sellers should send them in for repair before selling them. Then they are the one who will benefit, rather than the new buyer.

And this is the point. Leatherman is not really a large company, they make a niche product. I have no doubt that the thing that sells more Leatherman tools than anything is people actually seeing a tool in use or buying one and using it.

No experience with this particular mishap, but the consensus seems to be that the odds are good to get it repaired or better.

They should warranty that for sure :salute: Are you in the US or from somewhere else in the world :think: You may have to contact your local retailer/dealer if outside the US :salute: Still a broken tool as that is a valid warranty claim to me :tu: Also do you have the new Surge or older style Surge :think: the plier head is the easiest way to tell the difference. If it is newer then it will have replaceable cutters if older then regular non replaceable cutters :cheers:

I sent in my old Surge for repairs, to the LM Dealer and distributor in my country
I went on person to bring the tools myself. They were very kind, allowed me to meet Tim Leatherman :o who was there (and signed the Surge and Juice I had brought) and then the Surge got repaired in the time it took me to talk to TIm and chat about stuff, as well as getting Tim peen the Juice's pivot by himself to repair the wobble. :D
Nice experience, the old Surge was perfect after that (aside from scratches, OFC) and they replaced the Mini screwdriver holder, the flathead screwdriver, the SE blade and half of the scissors. :tu:
No cost, no delay, everything was great. :salute:

Great experience TP! :tu:

Tried to rehab my Supertool after 25 years in a drawer but couldn't seem to get it loose enough to safely deploy the small tools without cutting myself. Called Leatherman and they said to send it in. 7 days to get there, 7 days for them to send it back, 3 days to get it. Looks brand new and the tools, while stiffer than my Rebar, can now all be deployed safely. Glad they worked with it instead of replacing it with a Supertool 300; I prefer the original.

Hello,
I had one swap in Germany, the guys there took almost 1 month to replace the tool.
3 swaps in Romania, for the first one(4years agol) i had to call the cavalry ( LMN USA) as they refused the warranty because it was not bought from them. For the rest (this year), i found that they charge a service tax of 5euro/tool
