Leatherman included eighteen excellent features on their Wave multi-tool. First and foremost, the needle-nose pliers and wire cutters are a favorite. They fold into the tool when its not in use for easy storage, and they’re quite strong. What makes the Wave Plus differ from many other multi-tools is its outer knife blades. Unlike most multi-tools which require opening to access the knife, Wave can stay shut. This is advantageous if you need to open the knife with one hand. Additionally, the knife blades lock into place. As you might expect, the Wave features a saw, serrated blade, and scissors as well.

Also, the Wave features the essential bottle and can opener, so it’s great for parties and camping. The small saw on this tool is surprisingly effective. You can easily cut wood planks if you need to, or trim firewood without an axe. The screwdrivers in this unit are Phillips and flat-head, just flip them around. The small screwdriver is useful for glasses or small electronics, but don’t pry with it. Additionally, the wire cutters are removable for replacement or sharpening. Overall, the interchangeable features of this tool give it a long life.
