Good price. Great tool. Love the locking blades.

I've been using the Wave for years and it has been the best out of about 6 or 7 multitools ranging from early leatherman models to several gerber models issued to me in the military. I've always liked the leatherman fold out design as opposed to the "push-out" design of gerbers. But, the older leatherman designs often loosened up faster than I would have expected. The wave, on the other hand, is just like new after about 5 years of use. That being said, the wave has about every tool I ever need, be it tweaking my gear, or make simple repairs around the house. The downside is the weight. I take weight very seriously and almost never justify bringing the wave along on anything besides casual day hikes. There are just lighter, more specialized tools out there, better suited for the other outings I go on.

True, on most days you probably won't use all 18 functions of this knife, but you know there is going to be that one day. That one day when you're the guy who is able to get the job done on the spot because you are prepared. I'm not a maintenance worker, so I won't be carrying this around with me all the time, but it is always close at hand in my day pack, along with the bit kit. I would definitely take this into the bc.

Not, the lightest tool in the bunch, but it is the one with all the tools! This Wave tool is great for any job around the house or great option to keep in the car. I would not recommend for backpacking, as it is a bit heavier, but this is the go-to tool for home repair and a great one to keep on the belt if you need one for work with ample options. The best tools on this are the saw, pliers, and the nice long knife blade to make it quite the verstatile, compact too.
