Leatherman and Gerber's multi-tools, of which I am a user for both companies, are for small tasks at home, in the garden, or on outings, whether summer or winter. Some users, upon purchasing these multi-tools, use them for much tougher tasks that even the manufacturer does not recommend, and then they ask for refunds. If you watch the videos the company uploads for each product separately, you will see that they are for specific tasks. As for the issue of rust... well, after each use, there is also the corresponding maintenance. If you leave it wet, no matter what metal it is, over time it will rust.

A real tool that cuts everything! Lightweight, durable, and sturdy. It's a bit expensive, but everything comes with it!

I change my rating to one star as after almost 5 months of almost zero use, it rusted after rain. I contacted the representative in Greece and they told me that I have to send it to Germany and get it back after two months!!!! Unacceptable for a Leatherman to rust! I have a Victorinox multitool for 15 years which I have used as a hammer, the blade has turned black from flames, and I have generally mistreated it in every way imaginable and it hasn't rusted at all. Never again Leatherman. Obviously, it is not suitable for serious work (which is supposedly why you buy them).
