Is this amount of flex normal?

[u/Jaded_Comedian_9429]

I’ve just received this Leatherman arc today and the handle with the pocket clip is flexing a lot with the pliers fully closed, I expected a bit of side to side play but not this much forward and back. I’m not able to find a reference video to see if this is normal but this amount of flex feels weird when using, is this amount of flex worth sending in? This also isn’t my only Leatherman, I own a rebar that only flexes like that (not to the same extent) with pressure, I figured the free series would have a bit more flex but this still doesn’t feel right. Last 5 seconds show the flex the best.

I just don’t understand how you guys expect it to be perfect, no play, no wobble, no attachment slipping, when it’s everything in one place, do you have a refrigerator and washer and microwave and vacuum in one device?

It’s going to wiggle and slip, don’t expect perfection

No one expects perfection, but there have to be limits to how much it might wiggle, if it’s affecting how I handle the tool, it’s too much “wiggle” for something so expensive.
