    Pretty cool seeing how my favorite multi-tool is made.
    Also, Leatherman 25 year warranty is no joke. I sent it in because one tool was loose, and they just sent me a whole new Wave. 10/10, Leatherman has my future business.

      Yep just got my brand new wave plus today after 20 years with an original wave. I let some moron borrow it and they snapped both knives at the base, I was furious. I just sent my broken wave to the uk distribution (fabulous service) with the form on their website and they sent me a new piece straight away with no quibbles, brilliant.

      I did the same with my older version wave and they sent me a wave + as replacement. I just wanted my old one repaired, it had bit me out of some sticky situations and I'd grown very attached it with fond memories. Was quite upset, I mean the 25yr replacement is excellent but I'd lost my old friend. I suppose it would cost a fortune to strip my wave, replace broken item and refurbish the rest with the added cost of having older model spare bits in stock. I love my new one and LM but been recommend swisstool x so I'll check that out.

    Tim Leatherman and Steve Berlinger were table tennis friends. I was in the same engineering class with Tim in Oregon State University. He was a much better player than me then. He was a very nice and friendly guy, quiet and hard working too, and everyone is happy and proud that he is successful. I own one of those knives, but seldom use it because it is too nice to mess up. Well done, Tim, and Steve, excellent product.

      I've owned a lot of these tools. most were supplied to me, in the past. They al break and wear out fast. The one I've bought (wave in the late 90s) broke three times on me (one broke the pliers, the other two the tools inside). the supllied version wear out in 3 to 6 months of usage (professionally). I got a refund from my shop (not from LM) and bought a swisstool, that tool has been with me since 2000 til the present day. Its used every single day and it wil last for ages. My wife hase a wave (second one, replaced under warranty) and she likes it because she has smaller hands. If my Swissool would be lost, and I would have to choose a LM or a Swissmade tool... it would be a swisstool (after running through I think 25 to 30 LM tools that is). btw a lot of the current line up is produced overseas and essambled in the us faccility.

      @@drakejosh808 Depends on what you would be using it for most. For an industrial setting, I'd say Super Tool 300, or Surge. For smaller/less demanding jobs, the wave+ would suffice. They also have a few specialty multi-tools in their line of products, such as the Crunch, or Raptor. You could also add after market tooling to your leatherman. For example, I have the Wave, with a large set of scissors from Victorinox I put into it. There is a bit of fabrication and fitting involved, however it is fairly simple and straightforward.

It'll do just fine. 90% of Leatherman tools are made out of 420HC Stainless, so you MIGHT get some spotting after awhile, depending on what you're doing, but it's so little you can practically wipe it off.

    I grew up with a Victorinox pocket knife, but once I joined the workforce, I needed a tool with pliers. I saw the external knife blade on the Wave, and was instantly intrigued. I saved up and bought one, and have loved it ever since! The hardest part is keeping it clean and not jamming up the tension between the tools with grime. My favorite features are still the external knife blade and the pliers that are deployed with the flick of a wrist.

    I bought mine in 1995, a few hours after my job was closed off. My Super Tool has been with me around the world. It has fixed cars, firearms, cameras, video cameras & professional audio gear. At my cousin's wedding the bow tie clips were bent on their suits so out comes Mr Leatherman to the rescue. I still use mine to fix my computer if I am away from the office.

    @michaelbevan3285 5 лет назад

    I have had three Leathermans, all Supertools and all either broke blade tips or broke a pliers jaw; when I went to the agent's shop, I was given a free replacement everytime, supplied with a very USELESS canvas belt pouch so I had to buy my own leather pouch, which I still have. I have been issued a Wave in work but the first has gone back for broken blade tips but, in fairness, my issued Wave is in daily use and I like it very much.

    I work in construction and have a Leatherman Surge. That thing has taken swims in concrete slurry, been run over by heavy machinery, yet it continues to function. Keep the tool properly oiled and it'll last you a lifetime. You can spend $30 on a decent multi-tool, but under heavy use it'll only last a year, maybe two if you're lucky. Take it from me, if you are willing to put down the initial $120, you can have one that'll last you just about forever.

    My leatherman wave served me well in Afghanistan as an EOD tech, still serves me daily (and trust me I've abused it roughly lol), I've never had to sharpen it, it is still as nice as the day I bought it, nearly 15 years ago. Only thing worn down is my file but thats because I used it ALOT every day to file metal at work when I should have been using a dedicated file.
    Either way, it's barely worn still works nearly as well.
    But leatherman 25 year warranty cannot be beat, break something? Even if it's your fault? Send it in, theyll either give you a new tool or replace a blade, free (you just pay the postage)
    Honestly a great company with fabulous service, if I'm being honest, I'd pay twice to three times as much for these tools just because of the warranty/service they truly stand by their product.
    10/10 stars.

    It is really a well made product, I don't encounter knives or multitools often made entirely out of proper tempered steel like this. Its the age we live in, most companies just go for the low-cost alternative, and make their tools out of rubbish.
    Hope Leatherman stays strong and keeps making their stuff inhouse.
    Money is well spend for something that will outlive you.
