Excellent Tool, A Few Problems
I�m a big fan of Leatherman tools; they are the best of their kind, and I own and use several of them. This is one of the only black-finished Leaherman tools I�ve bought, and it came with two problems:
First, the entire tool was covered, inside and out, with some sort of black oil or grease. It took me two hours of scrubbing and cleaning fluid before it stopped leaving black smears on any fabric it touched.
Second, the pivot of the scissors and screwdriver tools is extremely tight. By �extremely� I mean was able to pivot the tools out using a metal pry bar and both hands; no chance with a fingernail. This does seem to be loosening up with use.
These problems may be common with the black finish, but they cost it one star in my review. Otherwise this tool is the usual top-quality Leatherman product.
