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.

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.

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.
Customer Review: Great multitool
I own a few multitools and think this is one of the better ones I have owned. I mainly carry the Juice S2 but when I know I might need something a little more heavy duty like hiking or camping, I use the Wave. I am always surprised when I read reviews where people complain that they can’t replace their entire tool box with it, or that it not as good as the real tool…Duh. They are great for what they are, to use for small jobs or in a pinch when no other tools are handy. I use mine a lot for computer work and find both the S2 and Wave to be sufficient for about 90% of my work. I really like the blades, they are very sharp and well made. Several other companies have started producing their multitools in China and it is starting to show in their quality. Stick with Leatherman, it’s American made.
Customer Review: LOVE The Leatherman Wave
This is a replacement Wave for my husband. He lost his first one on a job site and immediately told me to buy him a new one for Christmas.
The Leatherman Wave is an excellent item! Well made, durable, and easy to use. The leather sheath that holds the Wave is attractive, tough, and slides right onto a belt. The Leatherman Wave has countless uses and is a very handy item for any man (or woman!) to own. I keep one in my car at all times!
You can’t go wrong with this product. I highly recommend it. buy from here…
