The Wave multitool's compact folded shape hides a wealth of tools and blades within.
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.

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality

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. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

A Great Buy - Reviewed on 2009-01-06

I originally was going to purchase this product through a major department store; Leatherman and shealth came separate. Once I was ready to complete the order the Leatherman was out of stock. I came to Amazon and found the Leatherman and shealth could be purchased together. It was about 25% cheaper too. My husband is very happy with the Leatherman product. He was skeptical on the quality of the leather shealth but it has lived up to his expectations.

I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and he loves it. We live on a farm & this tool certainly comes in handy for all types of needs.
I would certainly recommend this to anyone who wants a multi-tool that is not so bulky to carry around.

My husband loves his leatherman. We have had four. We did have one that we had to have replaced. Which was very easy with the lifetime warrenty. The others were lost. (I wonder if leathermen could weld it to my husband.) We keep buying more because my husband can't function without them. Great product... Definetly one of man's best friends.

I, in general, don't like tools and have as few as possible cluttering up the place. Hey, what are repairmen for? I do make an exception with this little thing though. This is one useful toy! I, as a matter of fact have five of them. I keep one at home, one in my apartment, one in each of my cars and carry one in my purse. I was not even aware of these useful little items until I read an article in a magazine about some poor guy who was out walking and a big old rock fell on his arm. Rather than die a horrible death of starvation, or having some wild animal eat him, he took his leatherman type tool and cut his arm off with it! This saved his life! I had recently had a similar experience. I was at a convention in Atlanta and hooked up with a lady lawyer there, one thing led to another, and well the next morning I found myself lying in bed with her laying across my right leg completely zonked out. Now this girl talked nonstop unless her mouth was occupied elsewhere (I have to admit she was pretty good at that), and I did not want to wake her up and listen for the next three days. My leg was completely asleep; I mean no feeling what-so-ever. Yup, I had to wake her up and it took me two days to ditch her. Had I had one of these multipurpose tools with me, I could have made a tourniquet from my pantyhose, and simply removed my leg like the guy removed his arm! I swear by my sister virginity (now that is a laugh), that I would have done it. She still writes me and I may have to change my phone number. Anyway, I read this article about the guy and said to myself that I have to have one of those thingies.

I can fix just about anything now and actually go around the house, office and cars looking for broke stuff to fix even if it does not need it. As an added bonus, the one I carry in my purse can act as a great defensive weapon and is perfectly legal to carry in most conservative states but as I seldom travel in New England, I need not worry too much about that.

There is one tool on it, a wire stripper. I have absolutely no idea what that is for and have never seen a wire that I had a great desire to strip, or why on earth someone would want to do that to the poor things. I Guess you can't have it all though, huh.

Anyway, I really truly recommend this tool. It is neat, cool and oh so useful. I think I will buy them for peoples Christmas presents this year.

I have used this tool for the past month, and am addicted to it. It has been invaluable. I tried using a cheaper multitool and found the Leatherman to be of much higher quality. The tool can be a little tough to remove from its sheath one handed, but that was easily resolved when I accidentally put the sheath on my belt upside down. I've been doing it that way since. I'd definitely recommend it.
