Have you tried getting it fixed/replaced under the lifetime warranty ? I think the UK contact is

As for LM, bit of a weak spot for me, I have a Charge Ti, 2x Juice, Rebar EDC, Skeletool, Wingman, 2x Squirt, Micro, 4x Style. For hassle free carry and all round use, the it has to be a juice but for sheer grunt, the Charge is the sturdiest and most useful, but comes at a premium price. The Swisstool runs it a very close second, possibly even winning due to cost.
One thing is true though, a £20 MT isn't going to stand up as well as something costing 4 (or more) times as much.
