Anonymous - 2001-07-09Leatherman Wave - the only tool you'll ever need
I never go anywhere without it. It was exceptionally handy one late night when I was helping a friend install a new rack mounted server and we found that the rails in the cabinet were not spaced correctly. We used the Leatherman to dismantle the rails in the cabinet, space them correctly, and tighten them down again.
Mason Schmidt - 2000-09-22great for Scoutcraft
During the summer, I work at as Scoutcraft Director at a Boy Scout camp. I spend alot of time building projects such as towers and bridges with rope and spars. I previously used a Gerber tool, which did the job, but I wanted the individual tools to lock. Also since I used the knife blades most frequently for cutting rope, the wave's super-convienent one handed blade opening feature came in handy, especially when I found myself hanging on with the other hand while 20 feet above the ground. Of course, the tool was very useful for other random tasks also. All in all, the Wave is worth its high price.

The WAVE is not so easy to use for lefthanded people.

Anonymous - 1999-04-14Further reflections
After having used the Leatherman Wave for an extended period of time, I've revised my previous opinion.
The tools are less stiff now than they were previously and I've found it to be extremely useful. I've used it to put together racks, strip down computers, install new hardware, etc...
It has become an indispensible utility for everyday life.
Anonymous - 1999-02-26Innovative design and rugged construction
The Leatherman Wave has been on my shopping list for some time now and I finally got up the nerve to make the investment ($80) and purchase one.
Overall, I like it. It has an innovative design which makes the blades accessible while the pliers are in their closed and folded position. They are also locking which is something that I always look for.
The only problems that I have with the design is that the tools (scissors, screw drivers, phillips head screwdriver, etc...) are not locking. When applying a lot of torque, I've found that these tools tend to fold unless they are locked in place.
Also, the phillips head screwdriver, can opener, and large flathead screwdriver are very stiff and difficult to pull out. They are almost inaccessible. The first time I tried to get them open, I had to use my Swiss Army Knife to pry them out. Of course, they should loosen up as time goes on.
In comparison, I like the Gerber Scout better for its ease of use and locking blades but it doesn't feel quite as rugged as the Leatherman Wave does. The Leatherman Supertool is still, I think, my favorite of the entire family of multi-tools.
Anonymous - 2002-01-18Nice to have but lacking in CQ
I have had the Swiss tool made by Victorinox and it was very well made. The leatherman wave is nice, but it should have locking tools as well as looking blades.
The unit I have is loose when the tool is closed that is why I give the low rating for quality. I would have given this tool a higher score than I did if it were not loose where the handle connects to the plier joint.
I do like the needle nose plier on this unit it is very nice. The knife blades are very sharp out of the box for a non custom made knife this is not common.
I think this tool is a step in the right direction as far as the design goes, and with a little improvement on the QC it could be a very good tool.
Alan Andrews - 2001-05-27Well worth having
I had the Super Tool first, but I was kinda clumsy. So I got the WAVE. Much better, a bit smaller and lighter, blades on the outside is great, so you dont have to open up the tool to use a knife
ed - 2003-08-04dissapionted:
at first i thought my wave tool was the greatest thing goin', until i started using it for fishing. all the pivot pionts rusted solid, even though i cleaned the tool after every fishin' trip. they must have used poor quality stainlees, because i never seen this happen befor. now i have to keep the tool in a pail of wd40 for several days just to be able to use it...
