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. |

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 full Bit Kit, offering 21 double-ended bits. Or, you can add a pocket clip and quick-release lanyard ring.

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.

Great Tool Worth the Money %100 Percent

You really can’t top this tool, it has everything! Leatherman really means quality. Pro Source shipped quickly. I ordered on Friday it came Wednesday the next week!
UPDATE July,14,09:
I have used it for a couple weeks now and never leave without. I can really speak to the knives because i just keep them as backups. However i use the saw and file they both work great. BUT the pry bar broke prying a pine crate apart. I guess I pushed it a little much and need a POCKET WIDGY® PRY BAR. I’ll send to Leatherman and have then fix it…hopeful…never tried before. BTW I saw one guy didn’t get a bit kit with his. I did don’t really use it but it’s good to know it’s there.

By the way im in banking business, excellent tool, not only for rangers
Fairly helpful
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I keep this at my office and it’s generally helpful working with small tasks here and there.
I’m not a handyman- so I’ll use it for the occasional screw, opening packages and such. It’s nice to have around. The blades are very sharp and the implements are all easy to reach.
The leather sheath is kind of cheap, but it gets the job done.
Good and practical; still some opportunity for improvement

hi, this is indeed a well designed tool, practical and compact. I am especially impressed by the quality of the blades, the saw and the files. The one hand access to the blades is a plus.
One aspect I feel can be further improved is the rust like stains on the body and the screw driver material. They seem to require oiling to prevent the tool from staining…..Else, it an excellent tool. The tool feels solid in your hands.
Awesome tool

I’m a handyman and this is the first Leatherman I’ve owned. I now feel naked without it. I use it every day. I recomend it to anyone who needs to be able to grab the most common tools without carrying a tool box around. Often I can walk into a situation, pull out my Leatherman and fix things on the spot. Most commonly used items: screwdrivers, pliers, knife and saw blades.
Great Tool

Bought this tool and I am very pleased with it. I use it while fishing, hunting and everyday use. What impressed me the mose was when I used it to cut thru a 1/8 inch screw. Knife blade sharpens up easy, though the tip seemed a little weak when it first arrived. The sheath is good enough, not excellent but good. The bits work well. All in all I see myself using this tool for a long, long time.
The Wave is a great tool!

I got my wave a week ago and have used it everyday since.I am a maintenance worker for the postal service and this thing is like carrying a tool sack on your belt.Granted it isn’t as good as the tools but it comes real close.Its nice because it saves you time with the small stuff.I would this again for its quality, and its made in the USA.
It is alittle pricey but it should last a lifetime or at least 25 years.Once you get one you’ll never be with out it!
Another excellent Leatherman product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The Leatherman itself is, as ever with Leatherman products, absolutely excellent. Well made, versatile, tough… all as expected.
HOWEVER, this product does NOT come with a 6-Bit Set. You will be paying an extra $18 or so for nothing. i.e. do NOT buy this product and instead buy the standard Leatherman unit on its own. If you want the extra bits then buy the 48-Bit Set that they produce…
Excellent!

Bought five of these as groomsman gifts. They all love and use them. My other jerk friends are even more jealous that they weren’t in my wedding! Jerks!
