Amazon.com Product Description
 The Wave multitool's compact folded shape hides a wealth of tools and blades within. | The Wave Multitool From Leatherman: Better than Ever 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). | User Features
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. What's in the box:

comparing old and new leatherman wave November 21, 2009 Thomas Middlebrook (east texas) i have the older model of this tool (wave). it never leaves my side. useful for any handyman or even an aspiring one. 10 ten years of hard work have only made it more useful. No bits to lose, not to mention a full #2 phillips instead of that skinny new thing. just today i slid the mid-sized flathead into a random squarebit screw holding up a shelf. worked like a charm and saved me 15 min. it's a little trimmer, rounder in the body than the new one which fits better in the hand. plus the new one has those lock clip sticking out that get snagged on everything.
bottom line: no multitool is tougher, or more useful in a jam.
o'... and they don't make 'em like they used too.
Good product November 3, 2009 J. Christie (Tallahassee, FL USA) I have used this a few times since I bought it and it is very well made. It does not twist when you are using the bits or screw driver. Very solid. Some people complain about the sheath, but I specified the leather one and it is good too. No complaints. I would order this again and recommend others order it.
Amazing October 14, 2009 S. Hewes (CT) This is great. I bought it for my boyfriend and he now carries it everywhere. The tools are all extremely useful, and the knife, saw and scissors are all extremely sharp. The price here is also great because everywhere else I looked it was over $90.
Leatherman Wave October 1, 2009 Van F. Jordan Extremely utilitarian multi-tool. Sharp strong blades. Interchangeable screwdriver micro to standard. Sharp durable scissors. Biting needle nose pliers. A must for a craftman or do-it-yourselfer.
Not as well-built as the old wave September 26, 2009 smallspeck (San Francisco, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Based on my experience, this is a step backwards from the old Wave. My old wave was sturdily built, and I used it for years without problem, until it got confiscated at airport security. Doh! I recently replaced it with the New Wave. I used the small flat screwdriver head right out of the box, and the tip snapped off with only medium torque. Amazon replaced it, but on that one the every time I used the scissors the spring bar kept popping out to the side, making them unusable (I found someone else who had the same problem, and they posted a picture here: [...]. Amazon is replacing again and I hope third time's a charm. It's of course too small a sample size to draw definitive conclusions from, but it seems Leatherman's quality control is going downhill. The other tools seem to be fine. Perhaps the higher end models (Charge), which are made of better material, are sturdier.
