How long did they last?

Mine is like new..except for the tiny 'slot' screwdriver tip. I mangled it
a bit trying to remove small rusted towel rack set screws.
Always meant to send it back for repair under warranty..or simply file down
to a useable tip.
(note: I should disclose that other than the original oiling and tedius
high repition break-in period, so I could open and use the pliers single
handed, the tool got limited use)

The reason I asked was because I had one and had nothing but bad
things to say about it. Seemed flimsy to me.

I have Leatherman tools - the big multi-set and two of the standard
tools - never had a problem with any of them.

Now that I think about it, I've had the one I carry on my belt for at
least ten years - still looks new and I use it all the time.
