I've got a Leatherman 200 as well, but after several years of hard use it's sort of gone floppy...they do have a 25 year warranty but there's no way I'll be able to find the receipt
Hi Fanum I have managed to break several of these (through abuse, but they don't need to know that), and have always just taken them into an authorised dealer and just been given a replacement.
Got to be worth a try at Blacks or Millets.
Cheers Tom

I have a Swiss Victorinox which I find a bit bulky (and fiddly) but recently bought a Byrdwrench - expensive but a great bit of kit which will accomplish most tasks without biting back - I especially like the fact that it will split into two which has been very handy.

In all fairness, I spent 10 yrs of my career using multi-tools several times a day. The Leatherman Wave was the de facto standard... until Gerber came out with the Legend:
With multitools, so many of them require opening to use all the bits...not so with the Legend. Also, other tools when using the pliers you get to grip all the other tools which is hard on the hands when squeezing hard - the Legend you get the smooth edge to apply pressure to. And:
Simply, the Legend is streets ahead of the competition in terms of ergonomics and practical usefullness.

- Pliers are spring loaded
- Carbide wire cutters are replaceable
- Wire cutters have 3 sided head, so can be rotated in the field for a new cutting edge
- Saw blade takes standard jigsaw blades, so user replaceable with new or the blade type of your choice
- Fiskar's Scissors
Simply, the Legend is streets ahead of the competition in terms of ergonomics and practical usefullness.

I should change this
Its down to personal choice Personally I prefer the Gerber range particularly the ones which can be opened single handed ( though not a great lover of the spring loaded Recoil model)
As I like gadgets and tools went through a stage of buying them as they were released (If anyone has the T3 MP500 unopened never did manage to get one!)
Leatherman warranty can not be faulted any I have damaged have been swapped out instantly and FOC at the importers at Kendal.
Never had the need to have a Gerber repaired though I believe they have a lifetime guarantee
Sad I know but here are some of mine!!!

Brian, I never took you for an OCD person....
Hard core, but not obsessive.
there's like 18/19 tools plus all the bits there how many hands have you got?

Only two hands
have got other multitools but these were all I could carry downstairs to take picture
did start collecting Victorinox Swiss army knives/tools but think they are in loft or got lost during house move!
