The well-known quality and reliability of Leatherman in a handy general-purpose multi-tool, for quick and safe use. One of the important features of this particular wave is the locking of the selected "tool" each time we choose it for use, as well as the double bit (Phillips and flat) which can be quickly and safely selected for use.
I used it on the fence, work for 2 pairs, after I had the wave and the surge. The wave, as you can see in the picture, delivered body and soul... Its place was taken by a Chinese multitool for 30€ with "WORSE" metal and made me a lad!!! 2 stars for the warranty that replaced it for me but nothing more...
It is the first multitool I own. No matter how much I write, the Wave+ is not enough. I bought it for everyday use (EDC) and clearly for my job. It has all the tools that could be used in many settings for various tasks. It is sturdy, durable, and overall well-made. It is a serious tool, with all the tools easily opening and closing. It is an excellent alternative solution to not having to carry a whole toolbox for everyday tasks. The knife and serrated knife are very sharp and can be opened with one hand. An exceptional tool with many uses.
Very good multitool with a quite ergonomic handle, I use it for my fishing as well, it gets wet regularly, I dry it well at night or the next morning and oil it so you will never see rust... Because some say that it rusts relatively easily... if you dry it the same or next day, there is no chance of seeing rust on the tool. I have it with me almost always, I use it very often, it is user-friendly, many tools come out from the outside so you don't need to open the tool to use them. Satisfied!
Beautiful, high-quality and compact tool, approximately in the middle in terms of weight for everyday use. It is also average in terms of ergonomics, except for the one-handed opening of the blades, as the rest of the tools open from the inside, meaning that the handles need to be opened. The nylon case is good with a good fastening.
I have only had it for a week and there have been various reports of rust and breaking of screwdrivers and pliers, but for now, everything is going well. I gave it a little WD-40 just in case, and I will probably do it regularly. I also found a kit with bits and an extender for Leatherman from an international website for 20€.
I consider its price a bit steep, as it falls into the category of the less premium models of the company in terms of features and steel quality. Therefore, it should be compared as if it were priced at 100€, as it costs $100 in America. In that case, I think it would have no competition, which is perhaps why it has been the best-selling Leatherman since 1998
I have it for over 20 years.
The opening now has about 2-3 millimeters of play, the blade has dulled a bit and needs sharpening, and the case has blackened on the inside and has visible signs of wear on the outside.
It is 100% functional and has cut thousands of wires, cables, plastics, and even a wooden beam once.
The first 2 years I used it daily, but not as much anymore.
There is no rust anywhere, and it has worked in the sea and in the snow.
The first Wave was a decent multitool. Unfortunately, as the years went by, the quality kept decreasing. Nowadays, Leatherman tools break before they even have a chance to rust. All the Leatherman tools I have owned have broken very quickly, with normal use. There is a better company, which I believe doesn't need advertising and everyone knows how much more experienced and high-quality it is. I gave it 2 stars because for the few months it worked, I had to constantly clean it from rust, and because the pliers broke without applying much force. I recommend the old Leatherman tools, not the new ones. This company is as good as its age!
The best model for me from Leatherman. The wave plus is exactly the same as the wave. The only difference between these two models is that in the plus, the cutters in the pliers change. I give it 4 stars only for the quality of the metal because it rusts relatively easily and because it is a little harder than it should be, causing it to break. However, the company's warranty is very good, so there is no reason for someone to be afraid to use it.
Only the fact that it has a 25-year warranty says it all.... I had a similar one that I bought in 2005, the safety broke, I sent it to the dealership and because they no longer had that model, they sent me a brand new wave plus completely free.... I only paid 15€ for shipping.
Owner of the said tool since 15/12/2018. I considered the negative criticism I read about the quality of the metal excessive, but after very mild and mainly household use, I started to see the first rust spots! Unacceptable quality. Only three stars for the variety of tools.
