I Just Got My Charge And Was Curious If You Should Be Able To Open The Pliers Really Easy. I Know That My Pst Shut And You Could Not Get It Open Unless You Used Two Hands Almost. The Charge Is So Easy That I Can Hold One Side, Flick My Wrist And The Pliers Come Semi-open And When They Close They Are Just A Hair Or Millimeter Open. There Is A Space Enough To Feel A Small Springing Attach Or A Small Touch. Please Check Out Your Own And Tell Me What Yours Does. Is This Ok/normal?
 
Dont worry mine is just the same and im on my second one (the first one the plier jaws had to much play ).This is normal and if you look there is a spring that applies tension to the handles when closed . Mine to has a little spring gap when the handles are closed .I dont think it will get much looser as the springs will keep the same tension when opening the pliers .Hope this makes sense and also remember it has a 25 year warrenty so dont get too concerned as leatherman will sought it out if it ever fails .

I Also Noticed That When In The Pliers Position, That On The Front Of The Pliers Where The Two Sides Connect There Are Line Scratches Because When Closing The Pliers They Are Dragging Going Back Inside. Anybody Elses Got That?
