1.0 out of 5 stars Leatherman quality dropping?, November 17, 2007

<sigh> Leatherman's quality seems to be declining. The tool set is made in Taiwan, not the US. Mine arrived without the magnetic retainer ring that is supposed to hold the bits in place. Also, one of the bits was not machined. It was a billet of metal! I contacted Leatherman and they will send me a new driver, and hopefully a new bit too. The kicker is that they want *me* to mail *their* defective unit back at *my* expense.

Now, I own an original Leatherman tool, a SuperTool, a Micra, Two Squirts ("E" and "P"), and a Kick. I love them all. My last two purchases of Leatherman products have been this kit and an h500 Leatherman 830330 h500 Folding Straight-Edge Knife with Nylon Sheathknife. I've now had issues with both. I hope this isn't the trend of quality for this company.

2.0 out of 5 stars confusingly poor design, June 7, 2008

This review is from: Leatherman 830045 Removable Bit Driver for Blast/Fuse/Kick (Tools & Home Improvement)

This part does basically go together as designed, but poorly. The flattened bits fit very loosely in the driver. While they stay in, they wobble a lot which means that you need to have to hold the bit and screw straight while you're using it. Then, when you try to use a standard one sided bit, there is nothing to keep it from being pushed well into the body of the bit driver, making them useless.

I think they tried to do too much. They made a holder for the flat leatherman bits that's too loose to give you any confidence in it, because they made it to be able to take full sized bits, but those push into the body because it's made for their two sided bits. Had they picked one or the other, this would be a much better product.

That said, it will turn a screw.

They seem to make a different set for different tools. This is the set for the Kick. I wouldn't recommend buying something like this for your Leatherman unless it specifies your individual tool as compatible.
My brother has the Kick, these work great, he enjoys his Leatherman all the more now.
