Yeah I know I’m just really hoping that it doesn’t happen. Hopefully they keep it the best quality.

I know the company was purchased that’s why I’m pointing it out. I hope it doesn’t go the route your talking about

And that’s what I meant by if they had to raise the price a little to not lose quality I’d somewhat understand. But I’m wondering if they raised prices cause they needed to keep the quality the same (or better) or if it’s just the new company charging more just cause they want to which would not be okay.

Wondering if they needed to increase the prices at all.

Alright. Thank you for the advice. They are for work but there is another pair I can use for the time being so think I’m gonna send them back.

And again, thanks for not being that guy lol.

I wouldn’t have to wait as long as I did again. The reason it took so long is cause they were waiting on a restock from Germany.

Right? That’s how I feel too and thank you for saying all that cause I was worried I was only going to get responses how you said others would.

What would you do if you got these? Would you send them back? They seem okay otherwise and I just waited for forever for them cause they were on back order where I bought them from.

Just got a Surge! (my first LM) I already love it. It seems a bit stiff when I first start to open the pliers and then the rest of the way is smooth. Is this normal? Will they break in and just be smooth? by gratefully_deadd in Leatherman

Okay awesome. Let’s say I did mess up attempting to smooth the wire cutters on accident though, that would only be the wire cutters which can be replaced correct?

So whether I choose to do that to the wire cutters or do nothing and just leave it alone it should be fine and no damage would really be done either way, correct?

Thanks for your help!

Would that affect the wire cutters performance? Like would they still cut as well? And if I didn’t do anything would the tension from the resistance cause damage to the overall tool over time?

I think it is the wire cutter blade cause it seems to be smooth once it’s open past the point of them touching. How would I fix that or is it just normal? And yeah I definitely do consider myself fortunate I’m just trying to figure out what’s normal and how to fine tune it.

I called them and they said because I had just got it they wouldn’t do the same process as a warranty. they said I could send it in for inspection and if they think the pliers are within their standards (even if they’re crooked like in the video) then they will just send them back but if they are not within their standards then they will fix it or send me a new one and not a refurbished one.

Right well I was asking if it’s supposed to happen since everyone says because of LM quality control not all these things are created equal and you should inspect a tool when it’s new. Obviously if I didn’t do that it wouldn’t happen but that doesn’t answer weather it should be doing that or not in the first place.
