Now you really did it, lol! This week Leatherman is celebrating the Wave+. 27th Anniversary of the best selling multitool produced by Leatherman. I think its the best selling multitool in the world. To pay homage to the greatness of this tool, I will be carrying it all week, which is an absolute delight! Their maybe be many copies but I don't think you can argue the quality of the genuine article. Its always a pleasure watching your videos. Please keep the real McCoy out for the week!

I think if you were to squirt a little acetone into the plier joint, it might loosen it up. I just ordered a black Flissa, and will hope it is not a problem.

Greetings to you! I opened KZitem and saw such a beautiful video from you. This is a good gift in the new year! I also bought a similar version and what was my disappointment... No, I initially knew it would suck, but my need was to use it as a donor for modding my Lezerman Wave. And what was my disappointment when I discovered that the tools are not interchangeable. (Even those carbide wire cutters that seemed very similar to Wave, but they didn't fit it. Annoyance...

I just received mine. Don't have any idea what a good one is supposed to feel like, but mine breaks over with a little force. It doesn't feel like it's locking open, but it didn't feel like it would slip closed by accident. Mine is the black coated version as well.

I don't see that handle issue as a big deal or even a small deal because it does not affect the functionality of the tool. I do see the lack of springed handles as an issue but not every feels the as I do about that. To me the springed handles makes the pliers and cutter much faster and easier to use.

G'day mate.! Hope Christms was full of joy and 2023 will be full multitools. There's one of many solution that can fix the loose handle. Most multitool does that for easy deployment. Try putting a pocket clip on the loose handle, that would solve the problem. As you probably know that any tools need to be broken in before it actually performs. Greetings from Australia.

Interesting difference I spotted once I received my pair... The 1/4" bit driver end is angled so you can't really use it as a 1/4" machine screw driver, this nearly identical bit driver on the bilbury is flat on its surface so you could use it to drive 1/4" screws. Tempted to take the end to a grinder, but I'll likely wait till my 30 day return period ends before I do. Also fun fact, this multitool does have the crimper at the base, so it's realistically a 17 in 1 not a 16 in 1. If the bit driver was flat it could be easily classified as a 18 in 1.

Black coating is not the issue, i have the same problem with silver one. Problem IMHO is with soft pliers head metal and weak leaf spring locking pliers in place I have been using mine for last 4 moths. Pliers rattle, teeth on them are bent, one handle is barely locking. In contrast Roxon S801 head held up much better after 4 years of heavy use for me.

Just picked mine up (silver version). There were definitely some small QC issues here and there... Mine would do the same thing when I overextended the pliers just slightly. Some drops of CLR and tightening the hinge screws helped a lot. I'd say none of the outside implements were exactly one hand usable... Maybe in time they will break in... There were small burs in most of the implements that I had to either hit with a brass brush to get off or use my fingernail. That did help loosen things like the saw blade that didn't want to open. I do wish the bit holder was magnetic so I could just put a normal bit extension in it. Do you know of anywhere that sells the bit extension like the one that comes with the Ozark trail multiforce?

So I ended up returning my original. The hole for the detent on the main blade wasn't machined properly and no matter how much polishing or adding of oil, the knife would be impossible to get out with only one hand. The new knife I got from the return was easy out the box. Glad I didn't just think it was something that needed breaking in and I returned it within 30 days.

I got the bibury clones for my boys for Christmas. Not impressed at all vs my beat up daily used wave+. 1 of the Bibury would gum up, like your black plier there, but way worse. also the lock for the saw wouldn't engage easy. I took mineral oil and tried breaking the pivots in but only generated heat n still stiff. Sent that one back, gave the other better functioning one to the girlfriend as she rarely needs a multitool and atleast the locks work compared to the other. Ended up getting 2 leatherman wingman for my boys. My mom gets a killer discount so ended up being similar in price. So much smoother and my boys think its cool they got a leatherman like dad!! Maybe do a long term shoot out of all the clones! Great video. Take care!
