Yesterday I popped into Lidl to get some malt loaf as Tesco were out of stock.
While I was there I saw this multitool for only £4.99. Sadly it is not of the best quality - one gets what one pays for.
However, I shall keep it in the car and it may come in handy; but I fancy I could have put one of my spare pairs of pliers in there for nothing and they would have been just as good :)

Got it with gentle prising. Now I pulled the fine screw tool out from near the wide screw driver blade, and it won't insert back in with the fine Phillips head first..
That's great you got the pliers unstuck!
Now for the small screwdriver bit (often called the eyeglass screwdriver on a Leatherman Wave/Charge). This is a common point of confusion because it is a double-ended bit and the tool only fully closes in one orientation.
Here is the likely reason it won't go back in and the solution:
The Fix for the Small Screwdriver Bit
The small tool (the one you are referring to as the "fine screw tool") is designed to hold the special flat, double-ended bit, which has a small flathead on one end and a small Phillips head on the other.
The most common reason it won't fully insert is that you have the Phillips head facing out.
Remove the Bit: Pull the bit completely out of the tool/holder. You may need to use your fingernails or the edge of one of the other closed tools to get a grip on it.
Inspect the Bit: Note that one end is a tiny Phillips (+) and the other is an even tinier Flathead (—).
Insert the Bit Flathead First: Re-insert the small bit into its holder, making sure the tiny Flathead end is the one going into the tool.
Test Closure: Now, try to fold the entire small screwdriver assembly back into the handle.
When the tiny Flathead is exposed, the tool should fold back completely and lock properly. The Phillips end usually has a slightly larger profile that prevents the tool from nesting all the way into the handle, which would stop the handle from fully closing.
No, I can insert the flat head end of the "fine screwtool" but not the Phillips (=) end first!
You've correctly identified the problem! This is a known design feature of the Leatherman Wave and Charge series.
The reason you cannot insert the bit with the fine Phillips (+) end first is because the Phillips head is slightly wider or thicker than the tiny Flathead (—) end.
The inner cavity (where the tool folds up) is precisely machined to only allow the slightly narrower Flathead end to recess deep enough for the entire tool assembly to fold completely and lock into the handle.
How to Correctly Re-insert the Bit
Bit Check: Confirm you have the correct bit end for storage.
Flathead First: Always insert the double-ended bit with the tiny Flathead (—) tip facing into the tool handle (where it can't be seen when the handle is closed).
Confirm Closure: With the Flathead inserted, the full tool assembly should now fold and lock flush inside the handle, allowing the main multi-tool handles to close completely.
The tool is simply not designed to close flush when the wider Phillips end is facing inward.
You can see a video explaining Leatherman bits, including the eyeglass bit, on their YouTube channel: Leatherman Bits Explained.

I was at the edge of starvation. All that came between me and death was a can of refried beans, and I had no can opener with me! Aaah!
But then my wonderful Topeak Alien multitool came to the rescue. It hopped out of my saddle bag begging to be used. The serrated edge on the knife worked wonderfully to slice through the metal lid of my beans. Hallelujah I am SAVED!
Beans, beans, the charmed legume; eat a bunch and clear the room.
