Comments: Overall a nice quality product; however, only one minor comment: why do the scissors open up with the sharp edges exposed like this? There are other models with better design, why not adopt those? |

Comments: It's a fantastic tool for all purposes. I use the Wave at work, for cutting boxes open to remove a srew, sawing, everything. I haven't find out what's not great. I have the Wave one week in use, but I don't expect problems. I carry the Wave on my belt, next to my small torch. |

PROS CONS BEST USES Comments: I am a Broadcast Technician working for a Radio and Television organisation with multiple product signals. I use my Leatherman Wave virtually every day from working on projects to odd-jobs around the place. I have known about the Leatherman products for some time from working in the Audio-Visual industry, and I am very pleased with the price I purchased it for from PhotonLight.com - which made it very cost effective for me. Having the multiple different screw-drivers and the pliers and wire-cutters on my belt make it very handy as I don't have to think about whether I need to grab a bunch of tools to take with me. I just go, and if I need to do something, snap the Wave out. Naturally for more laborious jobs I can get the special tool set that I need, but I still use the Leatherman in conjunction with them most of the time. The only drawback with the Leatherman Wave is that the clip-point knife blade is fairly basic and no doubt will blunt in not much time. I hope that PhotonLight.com might start selling the higher model Leatherman Charges as I think they have better blades, and I am considering upgrading at some stage. All-in-all, I am a very happy customer. :) |
