Q on Leatherman warranty..........
Posted: Sat Jul 01, 2017 5:14 pm
Just curious if anyone on here has had to send in a knife or tool to Leatherman and what their warranty policies might be.
I tried their web site but there is no contact info on there other than a phone #.
The reason I'm curious is I bought a Leatherman Wingman multi-tool today for $5. It looked to be in good shape except the tools seemed a little loose in the handles which I figured was an easy fix. Well it was but when cleaning it I noticed that the knife blade did not lock in the open position. Further inspection revealed that the liner lock was broken off the frame.
The only thing I can figure is there must have been a flaw in the heat treating as there is no way to put enough pressure on the liner lock(due to it's location)to snap it off.
My question is:Does anyone know if Leatherman will warranty a tool that does not appear to have been abused but is not in the possession of the original purchaser. Also if anyone has an e-mail address for them it would be greatly appreciated.
The knife can still function properly;it just doesn't lock into the open position.
