Title: Not up to Leatherman standards.
Product review: Let me first state that I'm a huge Leatherman fan. I've tried the Gerber mulitool, as well as the SOG, and Leatherman is the standard by which all others are gauged. This tool, however, doesn't stand up the the Leatherman legacy. Here are the shortcomings: The screwdriver bits are prone to getting lost, the retention mechanism just doesn't function well. The saw blade uses different mechanism, but it doesn't function well either. The internal sleeves which provide support and tension to the tools bind and bend easily. The scissors (not a feature I was excited about anyway) don't work. I was excited about the blades being outside, but found that I still reached for my pocket knife instead of my Leatherman for standard cutting tasks. I would NOT recommend this tool to a friend, instead I would direct him or her to a Leatherman Supertool 300, or for more casual users, the Leatherman Blast. Personally, I'm switching to the 300.
