LEATHERMAN, Wave+, 18-in-1 Full-Size, Versatile Multi-tool for DIY, Home, Garden, Outdoors or Everyday Carry (EDC), Black

Let me start out by saying ive researched all the multi tools I could research. Leathermans quality gurantee and the tool selection on the Wave along with portability for EDC. I would love the SOG assisted access multi tool but the tool selection on it just wasn't acceptable for what I was looking for. I found out about the patents expiring on the leatherman clones being made out of China and I bought a (surge clone made by bibury) and that multi tool is definitely quality but the blade wasn't as thick as this leather man wave plus blade is. It was longer obviously the surge is bigger. What im getting at is Leatherman is top of the line quality backed by a gurantee you can't beat that.My only negative comment is I needed to use the screwdriver to change batteries in an infant toy and the proprietary flat bits leatherman uses click into the tool with a rectangular slot to fit them in and the point is to take up less thickness in multi tools often they are to fat and bulky for men to use them as an EDC. Well the screwdriver wouldn't fit into this battery pack covers hole and I even tried with the driver leatherman sells still wouldn't fit. This isn't a leatherman issue but I feel the need to mention if you need to get into tight holes you will need to have some extended bits that are skinny and then plug those into the leather man driver because I can't find anywhere a skinny extension bit that isn't standard 1/4" bit. I'm not complaining at all about leathermans flat bit it's genius I'm just saying you will need a driver that accepts the 1/4" standard bits to do certain things. If you know anything about tools at all your thinking duh right now lol but hoping someone reads this and is taught something. Love my leatherman wave plus will forsure buy another leatherman down the road. But today the SOG pint saved me with the built in Phillips bit having that skinny and just long enough reach to get batteries in a musical toy for my baby girl.

I bought the LEATHERMAN Wave+ as a gift for my husband, and let’s just say it’s become his new weekend wingman. This multi-tool is so versatile and well-made that, on the weekends, he’s practically attached it to his belt permanently (literally). Here’s why this tool is a total game-changer:What Makes the LEATHERMAN Wave+ Stand Out:18 Tools in One: This thing is like a toolbox in your pocket. Need pliers? Check. A knife? Got it. Screwdrivers, wire cutters, a saw, scissors, a bottle opener, and even a ruler? Yep, it’s all there. My husband has used it for everything from fixing the garden hose to opening stubborn packaging.Built Like a Tank: The stainless steel construction is rugged and durable. It feels solid in your hand and can handle tough jobs without breaking a sweat. It’s clearly built to last, which is exactly what you’d expect from LEATHERMAN.Easy to Use and Access: The tools are accessible from the outside, so you don’t have to open the whole thing to get to what you need. My husband loves how quick and convenient it is to switch between tools.Perfect for Everyday Carry (EDC): Whether it’s DIY projects around the house, outdoor adventures, or just everyday tasks, this multi-tool is always ready to save the day. My husband wears it on his belt like a superhero with a utility belt (minus the cape, unfortunately).Thoughtful Design: The ergonomic handles are comfortable to hold, and the locking mechanism keeps the tools securely in place while in use. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making this tool as user-friendly as possible.A Gift That Keeps on Giving: I bought this as a gift, but honestly, it’s been a gift for me too. No more searching for tools or waiting for my husband to finish a project—he’s got everything he needs right on his belt!What Has He Used It For?Home Repairs: Fixed a leaky pipe and assembled furniture.Garden Work: Pruned overgrown branches with the saw.Camping: Opened bottles, cut rope, and even fixed a tent pole.Everyday Tasks: Opened packages, cut zip ties, and even used the file to smooth a rough edge on a shelf.Who Should Buy It?DIY Enthusiasts: Perfect for tackling home projects.Outdoor Adventurers: A must-have for camping, hiking, or fishing.Handy Folks: Great for anyone who loves having the right tool for the job.Gift-Givers: An excellent gift for dads, husbands, or anyone who appreciates quality tools.The LEATHERMAN Wave+ is worth every penny. It’s durable, versatile, and incredibly useful. My husband loves it, and I love how happy it makes him. If you’re looking for a multi-tool that can handle just about anything, this is it. It’s the ultimate “be prepared” tool, and I highly recommend it!

I've been carrying one of these daily for about 5 years now. With how many times I use it instead of going to grab a tool from the tool box, I'm not sure how I got along without one. The fit and finish on it is very nice. The only thing I have had an issue with is what they call the "medium screwdriver" (the wide silver non-removable one), I have had two of them snap where they go around the pivot, it's quite thin there, and they have snapped under light usage also. Luckily Leatherman's repair policy and customer service is lightyears ahead of most other brands. I've gotten so attached and dependent on the Wave+ that I have a spare one to rotate into it's place on the rare occasion I have to send the daily carry out for repair.

Bought this so I could retire my original leatherman wave (in order to pass it down to my son when he is old enough). I will say there are some welcome improvements to it. You can't go wrong with a leatherman for what their intended uses are. Love the black compared to my original's silver.

At first I really wanted to get the free p4 because of how fidgety it is and everything being accessible from the outside and with one hand really had me doing my homework. But the wave + by far has the better tools, and with a little bit of oil it can get almost as loose as the free. All the tools come in handy, I have used the wave everyday since my first day of purchase, it really does have everything you need. Come on, it also has a diamond file and for that price it's a no-brainer.

My favorite multitool. I have an original and two Wave + models. One at home, one in each vehicle. I do miss the leather case of the original model.
