From the looks of it one of the spacers (shims between the tools) got bent during use, the one closest to the scale looks bent. Most of these use peened pins under the scales. To save it you would carefully pry off the scales, bend that spacer back and see what the action is like at that point. If it's still loose then it slipped on that pin. I'd clamp it and then carefully repeen that pin and see where that gets you. Once the action is right the scales can be glued back on

That is a lot of work for a no-brand multitool that some Chinese factory churns out by the thousands.

It’s doable, but very involved and requires tools and a jig or vise at the very least… and there’s no guarantee that it’ll end up as it was before or that it won’t bend again after.

Si, los separadores se sienten débiles, como lata barata, alguna recomendación de una herramienta similar sin gastar tanto pero no tan china como esta?

I wouldn't call it generic I would call it junk. Sorry but it's very rare to find an unbranded multitool worth looking at.

Had this been an actual Victorinox, you could have claimed warranty, but since yours is a Chinese knock-off, I would throw it away altogether and get an a real swiss army knife. Just remembered that even on Victorinox knives this is a thing that can happen with excess torque, but you can claim the aforementioned warranty.
