Excellent review sir! Thank you for calling out the polymer cap aspect, also, the hidden lapel loop near them might be useful for teathering the multi-tool. purchasing the separate pocket clip and the bit exchanger and extender are on list of gear items to get this year.

Do you always take it in case you need it or because you’ve left it at home before and been without it and could’ve used it?

I have mine with me almost all the time. I sometimes carry a LEATHERMAN Skeletool, which I also like for its small size and weight. I also picked up a Free P4 which is pretty sweet. The Wave is my favorite.

I haven’t tried those other two. I almost picked up the P4, but I like the wave so much I’ve just stuck with it. Thanks for watching!!

Great video. That Wave is a tank! I’ve been thinking about picking up a Skeletool. Try some Break Free CLP on that blade. Might clean it up pretty good. Keep it up brother! 🙌🏻

Thanks man! I've never owned the skeletool but I think thats one you can get with a higher end blade if you want. I think I have some CLP somewhere, I give it a shot. The only thing I've used was some knife oil.

The oxide black on all the leatherman s seem to be more stiffer than the all stainless i think its the oxide that makes them more harder ti work with than the all stainless which is much smoother
