Amazon.com Product Description
 The Wave multitool's compact folded shape hides a wealth of tools and blades within. | The Wave Multitool From Leatherman: Better than Ever The most popular full-size Leatherman tool is now better than ever. Larger knives, stronger pliers, longer wire cutters and all-locking blades make the new Wave an essential piece of equipment for any job or adventure. The pliers have been redesigned to withstand more than double the previous squeezing load, and the new bronze bushing makes one-handed knife access a smooth operation -- plus, the one-at-a-time blade selection function means that the tool you want is the tool you get. The versatile Wave comes with a durable and attractive leather sheath.  The Wave includes several screw bits for added versatility. |  Expand your Wave's capabilities with the optional bit kit, pocket clip, or lanyard ring (not included). | User Features
This Wave model has four exterior blades that can be accessed even while the tool is closed. (Note: the knife blade can only be opened when the tool is closed.) You can open the blades with one hand by placing your thumb in the thumbhole at the base of the blade, and rotating until the knife is fully extended. This securely engages the locking mechanism. The saw and file both have nail nicks at their tips for easy access. The locking mechanism is marked with a padlock symbol on the tool itself. To unlock the blades, all you have to do is press the locking mechanism toward the handle until the blade slides past the lock. Accessing the interior features is a snap, too -- just grip the handles and rotate them open. Each interior blade can be opened by using the nail nicks. The scissors extend in the very same way, and they lock into place for secure, safe use. And of course, it's easy to change the tool bits, too. Just remove the bit from the driver and pop a new one into place. Optional Accessories (not included)
Expand your Wave's capabilities with the Bit Kit, offering 21 double-ended bits. Or, you can add a pocket clip and quick-release lanyard ring. What's in the box:

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality
In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

What's not to like? November 10, 2005 T. Hassler 54 out of 56 found this review helpful
One thing that chaps my hide is a cheap tool. I don't like 'em, I don't buy 'em and I avoid using them if I don't have to. Leatherman is well known for their quality and they don't disappoint here. Good Points: This New Wave is extremely well built. Resists torque/twisting that some other multi-tools don't. Nice heft, but not too heavy to slip in a pocket. Smooth and comfortable finish in the hand. A really nice selection of functional tools. Great tool locking, easy to release (but only when you want!) I've used several other multi-tools and beyond the novelty, I never really enjoyed the flip out style (Gerber) because it seemed a bit unstable and difficult to put back. And most of the others cut into the palm. The only detractor is the price, but I don't mind paying for quality and this baby delivers.
Best of these kinds of multitools, great gift. June 6, 2005 Christopher Wanko (Nutley, NJ USA) 117 out of 141 found this review helpful
*** NOTE: I am reviewing the Leatherman Wave, not the company selling it. Please consider that when voting. *** I had a great group of guys in my wedding party and I wanted to get them something they might use every day. Now, some of these guys already own multitools or have their own copies, but nobody owned a top-line model from Leatherman. In fact, I think they all had knockoffs. The difference between a Leatherman and a cheap imitator is huge. Steel quality is measurably better, and tolerances are smaller, so your pliers really grip and your wire cutters really cut. I liked the screwdriver bit size, really slotted in tight on Phillips and slot screws. Consider, though, that it's a massive tool, so it's reaches the limit (and good arguments are made for exceeding the limit) of usable size and weight, but if you wanted a tool for the work truck or to hang off your work belt "just in case", this and a flashlight are definitely the best "just in case" tools you can own. It does come with a belt case, and the keyring is large enough to take a decent carabiner for clipping onto a belt or a work area for use. Worth the cost? I'm not sure it's worth it to many, but if you have to own the best multitool possible, you have to consider this as a strong choice. The premium makes this a tremendous gift because it is a fine quality tool. It's usually not something one buys for one's self ("I can live with a cheaper one")... once you get one, you can't ever go back to the knockoffs... you've been properly spoiled. Fred
Simply superb July 28, 2006 D. Buckner 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Although now retired, I spent my adult life in the Army (infantry) and law enforcement. A good multitool is indispensable in either profession. Over the course of my careers, I had numerous multitools. None of them compared to the Leatherman Wave. I received a Leatherman Wave last year as a gift, just in time for Hurricane Katrina. I spent some months in and around the disaster area doing rescue work, and can't tell you how many times I used this superb tool. Both of the knife blades, plain and serrated, were heavily used and I found them to be up to any task. They were razor sharp and kept a keen edge through the toughest jobs. The pliers and wirecutter performed very well, too. I occasionally used the saw blade and found it to be useful, as well. I used the screwdrivers from time to time and, although not as good as a dedicated screwdriver, they performed better than I expected. All in all, I am pleased with my Leatherman Wave and would not hesitate to highly recommend this superb tool to anyone in need of a tough, durable multitool.
Great Tool February 18, 2006 R. J. Shuya (El Paso TX) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I was given this leatherman as a gift. didn't really think much of it at first. a friend who works for the local PD explained how good it really was. the blades are extremely sharp and versatile. he has used the blade cut people free of their seatbelts in car wrecks. the phillips screw-driver looks weak but workes excellent. the small screwdriver is perfect for tightening the screw on eyeglasses. the pliers are exceptional and come in handy on various projects. all in all extremely pleased with the product and would highly reccomend.
A Serious, Intelligently-Engineered Tool September 25, 2005 adroitus (Beaverton, OR USA) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have had two other Leathermans (Leathermen?) prior to this one, and I think this tool exhibits a level of design and engineering that surpasses them. I had an original Leatherman PST and a Juice S2. The original was competently done but was not as refined as the New Wave. The Juice S2 was an almost perfect compromise between size and features, but it always annoyed me that the two halves were asymetrical. I gave the PST to my father-in-law, and the T.S.A. took my Juice, which prompted me to get the New Wave. I haven't had to do any big jobs with the Wave, but I use it at least once a day for something. What I like best about it is the sophistication of the design and the quality of the construction, and the little touches that make it so satisfying to use. For example, I love the one-handed opening knife blades. (The only shortcoming I can see is that they are designed for right-handers only.) The way they integrated them into a tool like this is genius. When I first got it I liked them a lot, but was a bit frustrated because I never knew which blade I was opening, the serrated or the drop-point. Then one day I noticed that the back of the serrated blade was notched, and the back of the drop-point blade was smooth. There it was, a solution to my problem already designed into the tool. The little touches like that make me very satisfied with my New Wave.
