fell apart

Rating:*
Poor quality control or poor manufacturing... Scissors fell apart within the first couple of uses. While larger and heavier, I've been much happier with leatherman juice series.

Disappointing

Rating:***
I have a Gerber Shortcut that I have been using for several years now. I take it everywhere with me and have been very happy with it. The quality was quite good, at least as good as the comparable Leatherman mini-multitools, but signifcantly cheaper. Unfortunately, someone used the scissors for something they shouldn't have and they started working poorly. I was recently home in the US (I live overseas) and decided to replace the Shortcut with the Gerber Splice. I found that while the choice of tools was comparable to the Shortcut, the level of quality was significantly less. It feels like one of the cheap knock-off multitools. Also, while I appreciated the placement of the flat Philips-head screwdriver (at the end away from the key chain so that it can be used without having to take it off the keychain), I was disappointed with where the two blades were located -- pointing towards the keys. Did the designers actually try to use the tool?

I have not used the tool long enough to know how well it will hold up in comparison to the Shortcut, but my guess is not as well.
