Editorial Reviews:
|
This best-selling multitool has been redesigned, with larger knives, stronger pliers, longer wire cutters and all-locking blades. Manufactured from stainless steel, Wave uses a large bit driver-switch bits for more versatility, using optional bit set (Item# 199142, sold separately). Large knives with big thumbholes can be opened easily with one hand. Strong scissors can cut cloth, plastic and paper.

Summary: Great Christmas Gift!
Comment: I know nothing about tools, but after browsing the products/reviews on amazon I bought this as a Christmas gift for my fiance. I didn't even know that Leatherman was such a popular brand! His old multi-purpose tool (I found out later, it was also a Leatherman) was dull & the case was falling apart, so I put this shiny one in his stocking and he loved it! His favorite feature is the that the tools "lock out" when in use. I also bought him the accompanying bit assortmant, and he was thrilled with that as well. Within 24 hours he had used the knife to open Christmas presents, slice some tape free from a return receipt and secured my mom's toilet seat & lid with the screwdriver & bit assortment kit. I'm sure he'll get a lot of use out of it - he said it was his favorite gift!

Summary: Goodbye Swiss Army Knife!
Comment: Move over Swiss Army Knife - the USA finally has you beat. My nephew knows I'm an outdoor nut and I hate having a heavy toolbox, so I'm always hunting around for stuff to use. He gave me this as a surprise gift!
The Leatherman 830040 is unbelievable with nearly twenty different tools and all of them are stainless steel, easily maneuverable and sturdy as heck. (Take a look at the list of items in the product description). My favorites are the scissors, the bottle opener, the screwdriver and the bit driver (you can buy the additional bit kit, pocket clip, or lanyard ring). I see no more need for my Swiss army knife which I thought was unbeatable for all-purpose tool use. The case holds it securely to your belt or in your pocket (measures 4" X 2" X 1" thick) and is closed with a heavy Velcro flap. There is also a small pocket for additional items like other bits. All the tools are thicker and sturdier than my Swiss army knife and the saw and file are truly heavy duty. The saw and file are very tough and I actually ended up cutting myself handling the saw, it is so heavy duty. This is a keeper (not to mention a 25-year warranty).

Summary: Well made multi-tool
Comment: This is by far the most popular multi-tool on the market and should last for many years of use. It may be a bit tight when you first purchase it, but a little gun oil will loosen it up.
Some have commented about the quality of the new Wave to be less than the original, but I would say that this is still a very well made tool. I like Gerber as well, but prefer the more solid feel of Leatherman tools.
The one handed, quick access to the main blades is one of the best features of this tool. The metal is ribbed on the serrated blades release point to differentiate it from the straight blade.
I do not use the included nylon sheath, but it seems of decent quality.

Summary: Good multi-tool
Comment: Very good multi-tool, this is actually the second I own because I lost the first one. But it is a very nice multi tool with everything you need. The only gripe I have with it is that sometimes when you try to open it the ends of the pliers get stuck with the scissors. It is pretty annoying, but other than that, its a great tool to go with everyday.

Summary: My new favorite sidekick
Comment: I deployed with this tool. This tool has just enough of what I need to do the little jobs I need it to do without all the extra, unnecessary bells and whistles. It's my new favorite sidekick.
