Hopefully this isn't too off topic since multi tools aren't exactly weapons, although you could probably thump somebody pretty good if you had too.
I work on a farm and my leatherman is a lifesaver but also takes a severe beating. I used to carry gerbers and felt like the quality went to hell, so I switched to a leatherman super tool 300. I like the larger jaws, and the selection of tools, and it has held up better than the gerbers but after a couple years its falling apart.
I know I can send it in on warranty and get it refurbished but I don't know how to live without it in the meantime I've been considering buying a 2nd one, only I'm not sure what I would get. If there is a different model or brand that is stronger I would consider it. The jaws on my 300 are so sloppy they will barely cut mig wire, and won't even begin to cut stranded wire. Is anybody else a contender? Would a different model from leatherman be better? Their ads, list the super tool as one of their strongest.
