The most used tool I own, never leave home without it!

One of the most versatile and handy tools I own, hands down. I never go anywhere without my Wave. It has pretty much every tool you need for everyday life, and add in a driver bit set and maybe a bit extender, and you have so many tools available. I mean, your not going to be a professional mechanic using this as your primary tool set, but it's handy for so much. The locking feature works great and isn't difficult to unlock, easy with one hand. It's fairly heavy duty, and takes WAY more abuse than I probably should give it. The blades have a good edge, and sharpen quickly, but they are not super high quality, so they do dull faster than some other blades I have. I think the biggest drawback to this tool is the wire cutter. I tried to cut field fencing, and it'll do it, ONCE. After that, this thing won't even cut .032 safety wire. The cutters are replaceable, but I would appreciate a bit tougher cutter blades. Overall, I love this tool, like I said, I literally never go anywhere without it!Ver más

Great multitool

I’ve owned a lot of multi-tools over the years, but I always come back to the Wave+. It’s the perfect middle ground—heavy duty enough to actually fix things around the house or at work, but small enough that it doesn't feel like a boat anchor on your belt.The best part is definitely the outside-accessible blades. Being able to flick the knife open with one hand without unfolding the whole tool is a game changer. The addition of the replaceable wire cutters is a huge win too, because now I don't have to worry about ruining the entire tool if I'm a little too rough on a hard wire.Everything locks solidly, there’s zero "wiggle" in the build quality, and it just feels like a tank. It’s a bit heavy for loose pockets, so I’d recommend using the sheath or buying the separate pocket clip. If you're looking for one tool that does everything well without being overkill, this is the one. Well worth the money.Ver más

First new one after a few years, great quality still

This is what you expect from a Leatherman/similar multi tool: Heavy, kinda clunky, solid, very useful.It came as the proper product, well and safely and legitimately packaged (nowadays a risk here on Amazon I see so I mention this).All parts work and are in high quality function (remember, the sharps arrive sharp lol).If you’re new to these sorts of tools you’ll find it feels heavier and clunkier than you may find ideal when you first deal with it and wonder… but it’s like that for good reason and you get used to the feel of the leatherman. They’re built sturdy and while I’ve only had this one a very short amount of time I have had a few in the past of similar styles (lost, none let me down) I can assure this one is going to hold up to a lot of use. They take abuse well lol.It’s, of course, stiff in opening some parts but well greased. Again, common. Through use the stiffness of some parts will ease, depending on amount of use….I needed something basic but also varied, I went with this model as it’s always a balancing act on multi tools of what parts do I and don’t I actually ever see myself using/needing and what am I actively seeking. As it’s largely for my camping needs this fits while coming along with a few things I may not use or may use differently than they are intended, as one does with tools haha; In addition to camping I randomly have to make repairs on the go to items and such (I’m a nomad who lives out of their backpack traveling around the world for years, you have to have fix-its at hand because who knows when or where something will break or how?)… so those extra tool bits that are honestly not likely to be used hardly ever may just come in handy at some point.Which was also the case when I was living in one place, so hey.If you’re like me and have that balance of “mostly for my outdoorsy life but here and there now and then, too” this style of leatherman I think is a good option. It’s always hard to narrow down multitools to the right one.So 5 stars:Despite Amazon arriving packages nowadays sometimes being dodgy, mine was fully legitimate.It is a good model for the “mostly for when camping but otherwise handy…” - not an EVERYTHING model and not a might miss something model.Very solid, well sharpened, sturdy hinges, good quality that I know from previous experiences will live up hard to proper use and additional abuse (my first ever was of this same quality back when I was in the Army and I assure you it withstood a lot more than average person's use… kinda awe inspiring, honestly).As I repeat, it is heavy and clunky and feels weird/awkward in the hand when using it (or at least it does for someone with my size hands… they’re admittedly small but I think this is a pretty universal feel lol). But that isn’t out of proportion for the tool. It’s the correct amount for the size, shape, and tools within this multitool… something to be aware of if it’s your first to expect and know it’s normal. If it’s not your first multitool of these kinds then know that this is one of the ones where the balance for the multitool is right.My 3rd or so black one, I think (as said, over the decades I lose a lot of stuff between moves and life) and it’s absolutely lovely to look at.

THE ultimate multitool for anyone the cares about quality

This is such a great multitool. I’ve owned 4-5 at this point and wouldn’t go out into the woods without one EVER. Such a useful, sturdy, dependable tool! Can be a little heavy but I think it’s well worth its weight! I’ve carried one of these consistently for over 30 year and will continue to do so until someone finally makes something better.Ver más

Best EDC multitool in existence

The Leatherman wave is probably the most perfect EDC multitool ever created. Combined with a ratchet and bit set, you can do just about anything that you need to do. The black wave looks great but does leave black residue initially on your hands, but that goes away after a little while. The silver is a better choice if you don’t want to have to wipe off the black residue when you get your multitool.Ver más

Good quality, but not as useful as the 18-in-1 claim suggests

The Wave+ is well made and feels solid, but I was a little disappointed after actually using it. It is advertised as an 18-in-1 multi-tool, but several of those functions are not very useful for my needs as an aircraft mechanic. In practice, there are only around a dozen tools that I would realistically use on the job.The build quality is good, and I like the pliers, cutters, scissors, and bit driver. However, for the price, I expected more of the 18 tools to be genuinely useful for everyday maintenance work. It is a good multi-tool, but I don't think the 18-in-1 count accurately represents its practical usefulness.Ver más
