Trying to undo a stuck leg lock on my camera tripod and *snap*




One of the older PE blade skeletools as well.

Wow, that's a shame, especially since it's the old original configuration. :(

Yikes... poor Skeletool.  :(
This is called a Swiss Army Knife. Do you know what Switzerland is? Switzerland is a place where they don't like to fight, so they get people to do their fighting for them while they ski and eat chocolate. - Larry David

I actually remember snapped plier heads being a problem with some of the early run skeletools.  I wonder if I just ended up with one of the bad batch.

It still isn't as broken-in as my old one, but I do love it so. It has a big brother MUT i've been meaning to post pics of too... :)

From what I've been reading, aren't they all a "bad batch"?  They're supposed to be improving their diecast quality for future productions...
