Dave,  What did you need the Leatherman for?  I field strip, clean and 
reassemble the MSR Miniworks with no tools at all.  That was what sold me 
on that filter (plus the relative ease of pumping).  I've had mine for 
several years (4-5?) and never had any serious problems.  The only time it 
wouldn't pump was once when I inadvertently reassembled it without the 
little ball in the ball valve. DUH!
