Customer Review: great, just a well rounded tool, well worth the 50 bucks.
Summary: 5 Stars
i recieved the leatherman wave for my birthday from my grandfather who is a big leatherma fan. After i opened it up i spent a few minutes looking at all of its features, when done i passed around and began reading the manuel. it got back to my grandfather who was as amazed as i was, this is a very well put together tool with many usefull tools. my grandfather went out and bought another for himself on amazon the next day. At first i was sceptical b/c i had come on here and read the reviews, don't let them fool you there are some sceptics who just expect perfection. sure after you use the screwdriver with force 9 or 10 times the black paint fades a little and swithcing the different sides of the screwdriver from phillips to flathead puts a beating on the paint,this to me seems to be the only flaw.some also critisise the case, but for a tool such as this it needs to be a tougher leather to withstand the beating it will recieve if you use it reguarly.if you dont want a case hanging from your belt than i strongly suggest the 5 dollar splurge to get the pocket clip it is very usefull then i use the built in lanyard to keep my keys on(this thing goes everwhere w/me). from the top,two knives; one normal(very sharp actually, i would not even let my child touch it in fear of him hurting himself)second(serrated blade very sharp, i had read in another review that a man had cut through a seatbelt with it, i tried and eisily succedded in a quick 3 swipes almost effortless really), saw(cut through a 2 inch branch in like 5 seconds)file(cant neccisarily find a use for it but im sure it has one and the diomand coat looks cool anyway i i dont really mind)the two knives the saw and the file are all located on the outside, easily accesable and as some have said can slide out and cut you.potentially they can but very unlikely, i have had mine for 2 months now and it has only happened to me once the file slid out like a half a centimeter and it was only after i hade run over 7 blocks to catch my dog. all of these tools are over 3.5 inches long which believe me is long enough and they all lock very sturdily i cant say enough about this tool. on the inside it opens to a multi use pair of pliers with a surprisingly comfortable grip(is cuts wires strips them and has a very strong grip), the strongest little pair of scissors on a multitool or swiss army knife i have ever had(and ive had a lot)a small size screwdriver(phillips/flathead)graet for those small screws on all the watches and christmas presents(and a larger version of the same also very useful)and a great little bottle opener, not to mention the perfectly accurate 8 inch ruler which is also very useful(also in centimeters[2 in 1])all of the above also look which is very useful. the only two flaws are that the paint fades on the screwdrivers(which are actually quite functunal, not quite as good as a real screwdriver but will definately do in a pinch)and the pliers are not spring loaded, which come to think f i really dont miss to much(there is a lot less pinching, it has actually not pinched me once and the springs are not actually that great)some are annoyed with the size but you could not get all of this functanality with a small tool the size of it since the pictures are not to great is about as long as a mouse and half as wide. it is a bit on the heavier size but just like my wallet i no longer feel it in my day to day activities.i have waited two months to write my reveiew so i could test it first and so far no problems.some say theres have broken during first use, mine is fine and just in case you get a bad one there is a (25 YEAR limited WARRINTY)so just return it and get a new one.[...]) . this tool has been used probably more than 250 times in my day to day life in the last 2 months as i said before i sugest buying the [...] lanyard and pocket clip which has eisily been worth it. and this whole thing ius stainless steel and actually one of the most atractive tools ive had and it is eisily the most useful, leatherman has outdone itself and i belive i am going to buy another just in case anything ever happens to this one. for only [...] you cant afford not to take this thing of the fools hand who is selling it for such a low price.july 3 2009
Description of Leatherman 830039 New Wave Multitool with Leather Sheath
The New Wave multitool from Leatherman features improved pliers and wire cutters, externally locking knives, a file, and a saw. All the internal tools are positive locking and include scissors, flat 1/4-inch bit driver with Phillips head, flat screwdrivers, can opener, reversible eyeglass screwdriver and wire Stripper. Comes with handy leather sheath. Made in USA with Domestic and foreign parts.  The Wave multitool's compact folded shape hides a wealth of tools and blades within. |
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). |
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.
