LEATHERMAN, Wave Plus Multitool With Premium Replaceable Wire Cutters, Spring-Action Scissors and Nylon Sheath, Black

Key features that make it stand out from the competition Pros: 1) This is a 2nd generation of Wave made before 2018, which features solid non-replaceable pliers. Current Wave+ (made after 2018) presents extremely thin pliers, pron to breaking due to replaceable wire cutting edges. These replaceable parts easily break after several uses and will cost you a lot of money to maintain your Wave in working shape. 2) Black oxidized coating was made more for military troop in order to not reflect the light, but strangely enough, black coating also provides additional protection from rust and the tool ages quite nicely, i.e coating wears out gracefully. 3) Price is right (under 100 bucks) 4) Compatible with a clip, bit extender, 2 kits of different bits all in the same black ... MoreKey features that make it stand out from the competition Pros: 1) This is a 2nd generation of Wave made before 2018, which features solid non-replaceable pliers.

This is just a great set. For every day. Compact and always at hand. I have never met or had a better multilual. Is the firm firm but a different model. I recommend if you need to trim something somewhere to twist, whatever is the best thing for it!

I broke a new Wave the first day I had it. I’ve owned these tools continuously for about ten year later and use them hard. They are rarely the right tool for the job, but they are always the most convenient. I’ve broken them in the past, but usually doing something stupid. This one broke a plier jaw simply squeezing, and the metal does feel more brittle to me, it looked sintered cheaply. Big grains were visible in the break. Leatherman has always been really good about warranteeing things for me (even when the break was definitely abuse) so hopefully this is a one-off. I would recommend with reservations.
