I carried multitools for years. Leatherman Super in the early 90s, Gerber 800 later, 800 Custom a bit later. Yet, they've all had the same flaw.
Cutting this stuff. Even the wimpy "wirecutters" on a SAK plier can nip it, but every multi has gouged the crap out of the cutters, making them hard to open or close. I didn't carry my Leatherman for 5 years because of the wirecutter gouges basically holding the pliers closed.
Why is this? I can zip through this with much lower tools, why do multis die?
