Leatherman Supertool 300

I have not awaited the arrival of any multitool with as much anticipation as the Leatherman Supertool 300. It is a very basic, no frills multitool, and within a few weeks of it’s launch, already some have expressed concern about cosmetic blemishes, blades being to tight to open etc….
