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 nylon 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:

A perfect purchase July 27, 2010 Johnny Volatile (Los Angeles, CA) I was using the Leatherman Skeletool but found the fold out knife a bit hard to use, as well as the screwdriver bits rather useless. So I purchased the Wave and have not regretted a single second of it. The Wave has just the right amount of tools available, and the fold out knife is easy to get to and easy to use. I also thought that the weight of the Wave would become a pain to carry, but the opposite is actually true. I use this tool no less than 6-7 times a day.
So if you're in the market for a multitool, I strongly suggest the Wave (with the leather sheath).
nice tool June 4, 2010 T. Amaya (ny) works as its designed to. but the only draw back is that its a little stiff, but thats normal for a new tool and just needs to be adjusted slightly. other than that it works great, i use it everyday at work.
Great tool, some minor quibbles February 24, 2010 Kwan L. Lowe (Florida, USA) Updated: Added notes
This is my second Leatherman Wave and I am quite pleased with it.
I am a multi-tool fan and have several dozen Leatherman, Gerber, Victorinox and Wenger tools (plus a good assortment of other less popular ones). There is a reason that the Leatherman Wave is one of the most popular tools. The workmanship (i.e., fit/finish/machining) of the Wave is excellent. Materials are of great quality. Tool choice and design shows that Leatherman has been doing this a long time, though there is room for improvement.
Though it's in a different price range, the tool it seems most comparable to is the Gerber Suspension multi-pliers. The sizes are nearly identical though the Leatherman Wave packs more tools into the same space. The Wave tools are also larger. For example, the blade is almost an inch longer on the Wave.
Like almost all the Leatherman tools that I own, the machining and fit is excellent. Initially there is considerable resistance when opening the Wave, but after a few weeks of use (or a good hour of dedicated time opening and closing each time) the metal seems to wear just enough that opening becomes easy without becoming loose.
Update: After several weeks of use it has indeed become much easier to open but still doesn't feel loose.
The materials on the Wave are excellent. Though I haven't used it with a great amount of force, the pliers are sturdy and the blade, saw, screwdriver and scissors did not deform or break when doing some basic household maintenance. Lesser tools have failed me in similar work. My original Wave had some cosmetic rusting which I removed with a rotary tool and a polishing compound. The steel on this Wave looks slightly different so we'll see in a few months how it holds up to the Florida humidity.
My biggest issue with the Wave is the pliers, most importantly, the lack of a sprint assist makes it difficult for the tasks I need. For example, quite often I find myself pulling large staples and smaller nails from the fencing and woodwork around the outside of my house. These are there for various reasons, including Christmas decorations, telephone and television cabling, etc.. Of all the tools, I use the pliers most for this. The sprint assist on the Gerber Suspension makes this task very easy, not to mention similar work with smaller items. The Wave, though probably sturdier than the Suspension, is difficult to use in these situations. Alas, though the other tools are extremely good quality, I don't use them nearly as much as the pliers. For this reason the Suspension is what I carry around the house.
Finally, pricing for the Wave is not bad. Shop around as there is as much as a $50 difference when I bought mine.
Update: This identical tool is also sold with a Monarch 300 flashlight for the same price. I purchased the combo for $1 more than the Wave alone.
supergift February 19, 2010 D. Westfahl (Brazil) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I gave it for my husband *TEN* years ago, for his birthday. I think it is probably the best gift I ever gave him, at least it is the most used. It is still in good condition and was helpful in more than one ocasion.
Great Purchase. February 11, 2010 K. Rollstin (Victorville, Ca) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
My husband has not put this down since I bought it. Has so many features and Amazon has the best price. Took three days before Christmas to get here!
