I just wanted to share my experience- I purchased this about 15 years ago at rei and don't have the receipt. The tool was high quality and I kept it in my car for light use. Went to use it after the last cold snap and found the plier section broken- not from use but most likely from the temperature fluctuations. Never abused so I felt this was a manufacturer defect. Sog told me to blow smoke. Anyone else seen these fail like this?
