Best praise vs top criticism for Leatherman Mini Tool
“The problem with small tools is people use them for big tool jobs. That means they break. As long as Leatherman stands by their warranty, that means replacing the small tools will end up costing them money, it making them money. I’d love a modern Mini Tool or a smaller Free series, but I don’t know if it’s on the cards.”
“Back before TSA employees began stealing all the confiscated knives, Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro, AL used to always have several display cases of multitools. At one point they had a clear plastic bucket on the counter filled with Micras for $5 each. I reached in and just grabbed a handful. I don't even know how many I bought, but I still lose and find and lose them periodically, stored away in boxes or jacket pockets. There was also a Mini in there, which I stupidly tossed back. That almost ruins the victory.”
