My tool has sentimental value, how can I make sure it’s returned to me?
Check the “Sentimental” box on the Warranty Submission Form. This makes sure that we repair the tool and retain any clearly identifiable personalized features or markings. If we cannot repair the tool, or retain clearly identifiable personalized features or markings, we will contact you for instructions. If you have non-obvious features that you want to protect, please be as specific as possible when submitting your case. Please note that Leatherman cannot perform partial repairs, any tool that cannot be repaired to full functionality due to a sentimental feature will be returned unrepaired.
What does Sentimental Mean? Why would I select it?
What does Sentimental Mean? Why would I select it?
Sentimental means that your unique tool has special value to you, and that you do not want it exchanged. Select “Sentimental” if any of the following are true:
- Your tool has special value to you, and should not be replaced (heirloom, gift, or personal connection)
- Your tool has engraving, customization or other identifying traits that you want to retain.
- Your tool is a retired model and you do not want it substituted for a different model if a repair can’t be made.
Please note that selecting “Sentimental” may add processing time to your case. Leatherman will attempt to repair your Sentimental tool without impacting clearly identifiable parts and components that distinguish your tool. Components, pins, screws, springs, etc. may be replaced if they are not clearly part of what makes your tool special. Help us by making clear notes in your case submission form. If repair cannot be made without removing sentimental aspects of the tool, the customer will be contacted by Customer Service to clarify options to resolve the case. Leatherman will not partially repair tools to retain sentimental features. In the process of repair, we often find worn or broken components that the user may not have noticed. Repaired tools will fully meet Leatherman’s factory specifications for safety and functionality before being returned to the customer. If the customer declines repair over sentimental issue it will be returned unrepaired.
