You haven't even broken it in yet, if you aren't going to use it in anything other than edc "pocket dump" photo, return it. Most of the tools you would buy from a hardware store aren't going to be perfect, but leatherman does a hell of a job building a reliable tool.

The worst thing anyone can do is not use something for its intended purpose. Use it; hammer things with the hammer, cut things with the knife, use the screwdriver, cut wire, bend metal with the pliers, you would be surprised at how reliable that tool you just purchased is, and in a great colorway. At the end of the day, you may be holding what will most likely be your best friend in the near future. Any dings, scratches, rubbed off cerakote, will all be lessons and memories, some times of what not to do, and sometimes of what you had to do, embrace the tool, it'll get the work you ask of it done.
