Blasted MUT!!!

So I got a new Leatherman MUT about a year ago and loved the thing. I shoot quite a bit (especially AR-type rifles) and actually use most of the tools on the MT. They are finely crafted and durable, love the blade and the saw. However about a week or two ago I was "baby-proofing" our loft and the handle that houses the blade/saw lost tension so that when I tried to open the pliers the handle would simply close (like I was trying to close the tool). I thought "Ok quick fix w/ a torx wrench"... well I tightened up to to liking and sure enough the handle was able to open the pliers w/o closing. It wasn't until a day or so later when I tried using the blade that I realized the same torx screw also tightens the tools so the blade or saw was either able to budge. I've tried to fine-tune it to get it just right but there's no "happy medium"... its either so tight I can't get the tools out or so loose the pliers can't be extended w/o closing the tool. Now I'm sure the company would fix this no questions asked, but was wondering if this is a problem anyone else is having w/ their leathermans and/or muts???
Oh yeah watched some Shot Show '12 footage of a new leatherman that has the "flip" feature much like the old gerber diesels... might have to pick that one up.
 
Had the same problem with mine never could find the sweet spot for both to be useable so had to send it back , they sent me a brand new one
 
I was looking at getting a Leatherman MUT but disapointed that the blades are made with 420HC steel instead of 154 CM.
