I am sad too. It was reasonable priced but I paid more because I ordered a “custom” color with constellations etched into it. It’s suppose to be used as a key chain too, but the o-ring (to attach a larger ring with the keys?) is teeny tiny and doesn’t seem very strong. I love what one is supposed to be able to do with a multi-tool “pocket knife”. I ordered my brother, the classic Leatherman years ago. He loved it. I think back then (the 1980’s?) I got it from L.L. Bean. I would still give them a try. I like that it’s made in the U.S.A. and I like the story of how the company came to be.

I have, I think, the smallest pocket knife (I have to look up the model) anyways, I used to love how it looks, it seems very sturdy, but every time I tried to close it, it literally bit me! It snaps closed so quickly and powerfully that if I am not extremely careful & slow, and use another sort of tool to slow down how fast & hard it snaps shut, it will injure and hurt my hands and fingers. This has happened on too many occasions that I had to stop using it. It seems one needs super strong grip strength to use. For such a small tool, I think this is crazy and am disappointed that I can’t use this for anything.
