LEATHERMAN, Wave+, 18-in-1 Full-Size, Versatile Multi-tool for DIY, Home, Garden, Outdoors or Everyday 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.

This is such a great multitool. I’ve owned 4-5 at this point and wouldn’t go out into the woods without one EVER. Such a useful, sturdy, dependable tool! Can be a little heavy but I think it’s well worth its weight! I’ve carried one of these consistently for over 30 year and will continue to do so until someone finally makes something better.

Super awesome product. Every tool in this is high quality. The knives are even sharper than a box cutter I have and the main tool (pliers) feel very nice in hand and are great for a variety of tasks. Very portable and can fit in pocket. The tools are easy to access and lock back into place.

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.

Its great but it gets stuck a lot. still use it all the time very well made and sturdy and feels good in your hand.

Great tool! This is like my 10th or 11th one I’ve had! Had to replace the last one when the sheath finally failed and the wave ended up at the bottom of the harbor in 30ft of water. However I’m a disappointed that this one didn’t come with a sheath.

The Leatherman wave is probably the most perfect EDC multitool ever created. Combined with a ratchet and bit set, you can do just about anything that you need to do. The black wave looks great but does leave black residue initially on your hands, but that goes away after a little while. The silver is a better choice if you don’t want to have to wipe off the black residue when you get your multitool.

Well made, sturdy, durable, SHARP, everything i need.

Se ve bien, navajas muy filosas, todo funciona bien

I've had 3 Leathermans. This might be my favourite. I got the black one. ...btw, You don't have to buy the spray on stuff to protect it, in my opinion. ...I went out of my way to buy the spray stuff. And before applying it, I played with the Leatherman for 20 min, opening/closing all items, and actually your hand oils remove the black stuff, or the black stuff rubs off on your hands. ...So just use the thing, wash your hands like a decent human, and your black Leatherman will be fine.

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.
