Good and bad news

[jdailey4206966]

Well, I am back in one piece from Indiana and my Dad's wedding, just walked in the door about an hour ago actually, with some good and some bad news. The good news is that the Wave was a hit. It helped alot, and there are quite a few people up there now who carry a Kick with them. Also, on Thursday my replacement eye glass screw driver bits came in, but the bad news was yesterday while helping clean up when bending down, my pocket clip flew across the parking lot, apparently under pressure, because it was bent when I found it. When I went to straighten it, SNAP! It just broke I was upset because I loved it, but now I have to go back to carrying it in a sheath I suppose, and luckily I have a back up. I will have to see if Leatherman will replace it or not. If not, than I guess back on the belt it goes, which sucks because I so much prefer the pocket carry method. Other than that though the wedding went good, but I really hated to come back and now have to face reality again.....

Now forgive me if I have missed something here, but couldn't you just buy another clip?


Glad to hear the Wave was a hit.

Welcome back mate

Yeah see it LM will send you out a new clip, if not there pretty cheap your side of the pond

[NeitherExtreme]

Yep, I'd let LM know about and see what happens.

And it sure is fun giving away LMs... I've done that quite a bit, by now it's my standard "guy" gift. I just gave a Blast to a friend of mine who just got married, and he apperantly likes it a lot and get to use it at work. Also, after seeing my KF4 a while back (which was when I found out he didn't have an LM of his own) he decided to get his Groomsman Juices and his ushers Squirts.

All that to say, they make great gifts.

I am gonna write LM back and see what they say. I hope they can replace it. I know its only $5 but I only had it not even 3 weeks.

I usually sheath carry so my clip has barely been used No chance to break yet Bad to hear that it broke Maybe they will replace it

Why buy if it can be replaced for free  and its not the money its the principle (I thinK) 

[jdailey4206966]

well, the positive of it is i guess that I would rather have had it broke that way instead of breaking and falling out of my pocket and losing the clip and Wave all together. I would be lost without it!!

How were you carring your Wave? Where was it clipped? Was it clipped inside a pocket, on your belt, inside your wastband?

I have carried a Charge with a pocket clip for a few years with no problems. I read (on CPF I think) that someone had broken two pocket clips.

I'm wondering what the circumstances were that caused the pocket clip to fail.

Not sure, but I was carrying it with the wave inside the pocket and the clip outside. Not sure what caused it, but it stinks not having it. I sheath carried today, and when using the Wave I was used to always going for the pocket, but than reverted to the hip.

Thanks!

When I've read about people having trouble with pocket clips, it's usually because they were using the pocket clip on a belt instead of a pocket.

The only time I had a problem was with a regular Sebenza with the knife clipped inside my front pants pocket. I had luggage in both hands and when I reached for the door handle of a motel, one of the bags cought on the pocket clip. This bent the clip and deposited the knife on the ground. I didn't know it had happened and I only found it because I had to make a second trip to the car.

Sounds like you were probably glad your wife packed alot of stuff that time

[jdailey4206966]

Well, its good news for me. I contacted LM about the clip and they said they sent one out for me today!! Awesome CS!!!

Good show Leatherman!

[Poncho65]

Man I need to break something and see if they fix it

Not really   I'm glad everything I have so far is glitch free 

Glad they are making good on it 

[jdailey4206966]

I am glad they are replacing it, but today I carried the Wave in my spare pouch in the horizontal carry and must say I liked it. I only wish they made their sheaths a little better. Maybe if they could make a nylon sheath with the snap button instead of velcro. Also wish the straps were a little wider. It is nice though because you can carry more concealed in the horizontal position.
