Have opened all tools on one side of the knife and can't bring any of them in the 90 degree position to close the other tools. What can I do???

Beyond saving???? Horse cocky! While wearing one thick work glove to hold the tool, pry a standard screw driver between the base of the handle and least sharp protruding tool. It may take a little effort, but having done this before myself, you can close the tools again, just be patient and careful while you do it. If this fails to work because the tool is very new and stiff, then procede to giving it a sharp blow against a vise or other hard surface. Please remember to protect your hands and eyes while doing this. Hope this helps and good luck.

Sir,
I have the Leatherman "Wave", with all tools open on mine you need to depress the slotted piece on reverse side of where your indivdual tools came out . Not sure if this helps, you may have different style knive. Good Luck.

Had the same problem but open up the tool that's on the opposite side
of the tool that's lock open almost tell it's close to locking than you should be able to close it.

Give it a sharp blow on the pivot to free off the lock. Otherwise Its beyond saving. get a new one

Take it back to store and they will give you brand new one. My husband has twice and didn,t even have receipt. They have lifetime warranty.
