You’re not kidding. Just to give you some idea of what I’m talking about.
This multitool is neither the best nor the most expensive, but it’s served me well for the past five or six years, and I don’t feel weird treating it like it’s replaceable because it is. It mostly sits at the bottom of my pocket when I remember it, and I tend to misplace it. I’m not sure there is enough material there for brazing. I’ve considered the possibility of a wire rope with a clamp, but I’m ready to buy a better multitool and I’d rather get something that actually has this very typical use-case in mind. I’m thinking of going for a single-piece multitool, like the Shard, just to avoid this problem, but I like the pliers-- I probably use that function most.
ETA, that picture looks grosser than it is. I accidently dropped it in a bowl of PVA glue, and it’s just attracted all sorts of dirt and looks like… well dried glue gunk.
