The New Wave multitool from Leatherman features improved pliers and wire cutters, externally locking knives, a file, and a saw. All the internal tools are positive locking and include scissors, flat 1/4-inch bit driver with Phillips head, flat screwdrivers, can opener, reversible eyeglass screwdriver and wire Stripper. Comes with handy leather sheath. Made in USA with Domestic and foreign parts.
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/nylon combination sheath.
Leatherman 830039 New Wave Multitool with Leather/Nylon Combination Sheath Reviews :
I have several of these around the house and the cars. I have also given many as gifts. Well made and have enough tools to handle most small repairs. If I had to complain about anything it is that it's a little too heavy to carry comfortably in your pocket all day. No problem if you use the belt sheath though. I also have the Skeletool which is much more pocketable, but also has fewer tools. As other reviewers have said, this also makes a great gift for the handyman/handywoman or outdoorsman. It's a good idea to use a little lubricant to make it operate more smoothly. Also, be careful when opening the blade with one hand. I found out the hard way how sharp it is. If you don't have one of these, you should buy one.

I love my Wave more than most of my other multitools. I own 6 multitools at the time of this writing, and my Wave is my current favorite that I carry and use all the time.
The one handed blade opening is great. The operation is smooth and the blades themselves are extremely sharp.
I've done a lot of abusive stuff to this multitool, and so far it has held up well. I even sawed through a PVC pipe once in an emergency which I was sure was going to destroy the non-wood saw blade. It cut through nicely and actually made the saw sharper than before (I accidentally cut myself with it seeing if it was still sharp).
It's a great tool and you won't be disappointed.
My only complaint about it is that the internal tools are a little too tight to open comfortably. I wish they were as easy to open as the tools on my Leatherman SuperTool 300.

I have owned Leatherman's for years. And the Wave is the best of the bunch. The most versatile while still being compact and lightweight, forget about the bit options on any multi-tool...what a waste! You will lose the bits, and they are proprietary so expect to pay to replace them. For an ultralight I like the looks of the skeletool, but this is the one that remains on my belt from camping to hiking to working on the job or working on vehicles. I find leatherman to be better than the other brands (Gerber, SOG, don't even consider the made-in-china store brand stuff!) I was raised on Victorinox swiss army knives, but after my first leather man, I haven't gone back. Victorinox still makes a great product, but the overall utility of the leather man is far greater. Until they improve significantly on this one somehow, it will stay right with me.
