Yeah I was considering that but then I thought that if I am going to spend $12 I might as well spend a little more and get a tool I can use for other things as well. That's why I bought the Gerber, but obviously that fell a little short of my needs. I'm hoping that the Leatherman's wire cutters are machined to more exact tolerances with better steel.
My Gerber worked like the first two times I used it but then developed divits from the strings and horizontal play, which made rendered the tool useless for my intended purpose.
