Re: leatherman Repair ?
A leatherman is just a toy to be used in emergencies when you don't have a real tool available.
We bought 3, first time we used the pliers the tip broke off. It simply cannot handle the torque on such a thin piece of metal.
As a result, we did not send it in for repairs, but just smoothed the edges to make it more robust, and also grinded away the tips on the other 2, now they are semi-usable at least.Last edited by Messor; 21-06-2015 at 17:33.

Re: leatherman Repair ?
I have loads of Leatherman tools, send them in for TLC regularly. Sent 3 away in the last month. 2 were replaced and 1 was touched up and had a new blade put in.
I don't use cape union mart because they have a tendancy of adding a markup to there booking in process. I fill out the online repair form from Awesome Tools print it and post it. Takes roughly 7 days and they return it via courier to my office.
Never ever had an issue.

As said above, awesome tools is just that...... AWESOME.
They have a name that means what they say, and says what they mean!
Sent my battered 5 yo LED Lenser M16 in and they replaced the entire brain etc. Did not ask for POP or anything. I was expecting to pay.... but nada.Israeli Carry is for dead people

And you gotta love the letter that you get back from Leatherman, " You've managed to break something which doesn't normally break, But we still love you "
LOL

Re: leatherman Repair ?
Update:
Thanks for all the very good suggestions.
I went the Cape Union Mart route as it seemed the simplest route. Paid R100.00 to the very friendly, helpful and efficient people at Cape Union Mart in Fourways mall.
Today I received a call from them to collect. My Supertool has been replaced with what certainly looks like a new or as new Super tool 300.
I cannot express how impressed I am with this kind of service.
