Yes there is With lokis wrenches you can adjust any LM to your taste. My Blast has very easy to open inside tools as do all my other Leathermans The one exception was my OG Wave before I adjusted it . I think the PST is a great MT again if adjusted properly easy to open tools.What about a Sideclip ?
You might very well give the Blast another shot. It doesn't have tool clumping which you may prefer
Out of curiousity, which MTs do you find the implements easy to extract? It may help narrow down why extraction is difficult. I've found many new tools I've bought to be similar in the amount of pulling force to extract the implements. Though, that said, one of my two Rebars came with an issue, where the pivot was free if one tool was out, but when all implements were stowed, they were excessively tight. The file, being so aggressive, ripped the tip of my thumbnail off. Sent it back to LM and they replaced the whole tool. My guess was the pivot barrel holes were drilled slightly off from the factory.That isn't common though and the replacement and other Rebar were fine to use.Another curious question, if you don't mind?Were the tools you purchased used or new? If they are used, you have to do some maintenance when you get them, since some people neglect their MT a bit.
Good points. So many options In your opinion, since you own the spirit as well, which LM would compare favorably in terms of utility, but be different enough to justify getting it?
