Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LEATHERMAN Wingman, regular maintenance is recommended.

• Cleaning: After each use, especially in wet or dirty conditions, clean your multitool with fresh water and dry it thoroughly. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry.
• Lubrication: Apply a light coat of high-quality lubricant to the pivot points and moving parts periodically to ensure smooth operation.
• Sharpening: Keep the knife blade and scissors sharp for best performance. Use appropriate sharpening tools and techniques.
• Storage: Store your multitool in a dry environment. The included nylon sheath provides protection from elements and wear.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Wingman, consider the following common solutions:

• Stiff Tools: If tools are stiff or difficult to open, apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot points and work them back and forth.
• Blade Not Locking: Ensure no debris is obstructing the locking mechanism. Clean the area and try again. If the issue persists, refer to warranty information.
• Rust/Corrosion: Clean the affected area with a rust remover or fine abrasive, then lubricate. Prevent future corrosion by keeping the tool dry and clean.
