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.
The Wave includes several screw bits for added versatility.
Expand your Wave's capabilities with the optional bit kit, pocket clip, or lanyard ring (not included).
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.

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.

Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

Great tool for any type of work and very light to carry around. I loved all the different options and all the stuff that it can do.
Rating: - Leatherman Wave Multitool
Leatherman 830040 New Wave Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath I have carried and used multitool for many years. As a contractor in Histotical Preservation and conservation, I put my multitool to hard and constant use. My last purchase of this type tool was in the late 1990's and was a Buck Tool. Only in the last couple of years did wear begin to take its toll. For more than a year I looked at new units. I choose the Wave because it serves my needs and it addresses the wear and tear issues of the unit I had. I really like the screw driver set-up and the extra bits. I am extremely satisfied with this ... Read More
Rating: - Very Convenient
Great convenience in a small package. The one problem is that the temper on the blade is not great. I used the blade to remove some stapes and I got big nicks in the blade. A cheap knife would have done better. It resharpened, but that is not the objective.
Rating: - The exact mix of tools I need
Not only is this a well made tool, but this is the only Leatherman that has the exact mix of tools I want. I carry mine with me all the time and have found it very useful. I have owned (darn TSA and my forgetfulness) other Leatherman products, and while they have all been very well built, none had this mix of tools, it is perfect and I am buying another two right now, one for my wife and a spare for me.
Rating: - Leatherman Wave
This product exceeds my needs and my expectations. It is solid and more comfortable than my previous multi tool
