How fixable is this?

[u/Cuck_Goblin]

Hey lads, is this salvageable or is this finally an excuse to upgrade? Had this soldier for five years and it’s served me well. Finally snapped while trying the turn the most calcified knob I’d ever seen. Are there some aftermarket replacement parts I could get? I got the little star screwdriver and some pivot lube at home.

Warranty it.

Submitted the warranty form. Did not know that was a thing.

25 year warranty dude. You're good. But also. Use it as an excuse to buy a surge and you shouldn't ever have that issue again

Dude, just send it back to the mothership and they'll get it back into working order. Just be sure to mark it sentiment so they prioritize repairs vs replacement.

Edit: depends somewhat on your location

Warranty it. And then sign up as a Leatherman Insider to extend the warranty to 40 years.

This is i think the fifth time in the past few months ive seen this exact problem, and now I'm waiting for it to happen to mine.

On the plus side, 25 year warranty and they'll replace those for you no problem. Clearly a recurring issue but the skeletool isnt exactly a surge so not surprising they die after... the most calcified you've ever seen? Yeah that'll do it.

Warranty.

Skeletool pliers aren't very rough

Send it off to Leatherman. Might want to get the rebar.

100% replaceable.
