I've been carrying a leatherman new wave on my belt for a while now, never had any problems until a few days ago. I was at work and reached back to grab it for a torx driver, and it was gone! I looked everywhere several times over but it was nowhere to be found. "Ok ok I thought, it will turn up somewhere, no big deal."
The next day I was out in the parking lot and found this on the ground:
What really sucks is I have found full wallets out there on four occasions and always return them as they were, and sombody snatched my broken leatherman right up. Thats what I get for being a nice guy...
Maybe I can send it in for an 'everything but the blade' replacement service...
As a side note, its clear that the tool hit the ground at the point of fracture on the completely exposed blade. I doubt it would have broken on a different model.
