Be careful with the pliers. Don’t twist the jaws at all or they’ll break. Mine lost to a 3D printed plastic part and I was honestly surprised how fragile they are.
I am fairly certain that's a manufacturing defect, seems like a flaw in either the metallurgy or the tempering process, did you send it back to Leatherman and let them know? They have a pretty generous warranty.
Yes, they replaced them no questions asked but I did have to pay for shipping it to them.
From what Ive seen they break left and right, the steel is rather thin with that logo emboss and the crack surface was without any ductile deformation so it is quite brittle too. It’s a shame because I really like the design and the fact that it doesn’t try to be an entire toolbox. Just pliers, a knife and a screwdriver. I guess it’s just not very good pliers, knife and a screwdriver.
This is why I switched from a multitool with pliers to a Swiss Army Knife and XS Knipex Cobra pliers. Overall smaller and lighter than most multitools, and higher quality materials.
