Their quality is a shit. I bought a wave+ 2 years ago, broke within a couple months (spring in pliers broke making pliers unusable). Sent it back and they say it’s not repairable so they give me a different one (mine was laser engraved). Then the replacement breaks (spring that holds pocket clip in place). I don’t even use the Leatherman that much, and wasn’t doing anything that could be outside of light use.
I have a Free P4 and feel it’s on par with their earlier products.
That said you can always smell the influence of an MBA screwing stuff up for an otherwise good company to “make them more profitable”.
More companies need to tell these idiots to pound sand because their paper education is worthless.
The only good MBA is an unemployed MBA.
