My Leatherman Arc multitool comes with a pocket clip attached. Unfortunately, the pocket clip has some fatal design flaws. First, it has a weak point near the top of the screw “slot”, where the any force on the clip travels through two thin rails. Secondly, it has a curved shape which catches on things much more easily than my other tools. Between these two things, it's bent a couple of times since the tool's release (a few weeks ago). I bent it back, but ultimately it broke off at the weak point as you can see in the picture.
I could have probably got a replacement clip, but it would be the same flawed design.
As a solution to this, I ended up making this part – so far it has caught less than the previous clip and hasn't broken off yet. It simply slides on snuggly. I have considered maybe adding some sort of clipping mechanism to hold it in place, but has seemed to work out as is so far.
