LEATHERMAN Wave+ 18-in-1 Full Size Multi-Tool DIY Home Garden Outdoor Daily Carry (EDC) Black

This is what you expect from a Leatherman/similar multi tool: Heavy, kinda clunky, solid, very useful. It came as the proper product, well and safely and legitimately packaged (nowadays a risk here on Amazon I see so I mention this). All parts work and are in high quality function (remember, the sharps arrive sharp lol). If you’re new to these sorts of tools you’ll find it feels heavier and clunkier than you may find ideal when you first deal with it and wonder… but it’s like that for good reason and you get used to the feel of the leatherman. They’re built sturdy and while I’ve only had this one a very short amount of time I have had a few in the past of similar styles (lost, none let me down) I can assure this one is going to hold up to a lot of use. They take abuse well lol. It’s, of course, stiff in opening some parts but well greased. Again, common. Through use the stiffness of some parts will ease, depending on amount of use…. I needed something basic but also varied, I went with this model as it’s always a balancing act on multi tools of what parts do I and don’t I actually ever see myself using/needing and what am I actively seeking. As it’s largely for my camping needs this fits while coming along with a few things I may not use or may use differently than they are intended, as one does with tools haha; In addition to camping I randomly have to make repairs on the go to items and such (I’m a nomad who lives out of their backpack traveling around the world for years, you have to have fix-its at hand because who knows when or where something will break or how?)… so those extra tool bits that are honestly not likely to be used hardly ever may just come in handy at some point. Which was also the case when I was living in one place, so hey. If you’re like me and have that balance of “mostly for my outdoorsy life but here and there now and then, too” this style of leatherman I think is a good option. It’s always hard to narrow down multitools to the right one. So 5 stars: Despite Amazon arriving packages nowadays sometimes being dodgy, mine was fully legitimate. It is a good model for the “mostly for when camping but otherwise handy…” - not an EVERYTHING model and not a might miss something model. Very solid, well sharpened, sturdy hinges, good quality that I know from previous experiences will live up hard to proper use and additional abuse (my first ever was of this same quality back when I was in the Army and I assure you it withstood a lot more than average person's use… kinda awe inspiring, honestly). As I repeat, it is heavy and clunky and feels weird/awkward in the hand when using it (or at least it does for someone with my size hands… they’re admittedly small but I think this is a pretty universal feel lol). But that isn’t out of proportion for the tool. It’s the correct amount for the size, shape, and tools within this multitool… something to be aware of if it’s your first to expect and know it’s normal. If it’s not your first multitool of these kinds then know that this is one of the ones where the balance for the multitool is right. My 3rd or so black one, I think (as said, over the decades I lose a lot of stuff between moves and life) and it’s absolutely lovely to look at.

Amazing product as expected ! quality is top tier

excellent must have piece of edc item, top quality, i carry it wherever i go

Not cheap and not as good as the original wave (which I lost) but it does have a 25 year warranty.

I’ve owned a lot of multi-tools over the years, but I always come back to the Wave+. It’s the perfect middle ground—heavy duty enough to actually fix things around the house or at work, but small enough that it doesn't feel like a boat anchor on your belt. The best part is definitely the outside-accessible blades. Being able to flick the knife open with one hand without unfolding the whole tool is a game changer. The addition of the replaceable wire cutters is a huge win too, because now I don't have to worry about ruining the entire tool if I'm a little too rough on a hard wire. Everything locks solidly, there’s zero "wiggle" in the build quality, and it just feels like a tank. It’s a bit heavy for loose pockets, so I’d recommend using the sheath or buying the separate pocket clip. If you're looking for one tool that does everything well without being overkill, this is the one. Well worth the money.
