The Leatherman Wave+ brings heaps of value to the Leatherman line-up. Leatherman takes over 90% of what makes the Charge so impressive and sells it for 60% of the cost. What you get are the Wave+ and an excellent value. The Leatherman Wingman is even less expensive, by a significant margin, but has fewer features and is made with lesser materials. For a full-featured tool, the Wave is the bargain shopper's choice. 
Compared to the Charge, the Wave+ has less sophisticated blade and frame materials. It also does not come with many accessory bits or with the pocket clip or lanyard loop that Leatherman includes with the Charge. Aftermarket bits and pocket clips are available for the Wave+, but adding these will significantly close the price gap between it and the Charge. Featuring the same general layout, tool selection, and dimensions, the Wave and Charge are the same other than materials and included accessories. If the referenced compromises are acceptable to you, save some dollars and choose the Wave+.

 has a lot of useful tools .. and more can be purchased which brings me to the part i call b.s

 So if im paying that much for the damn tool don’t skimp out on us and not include the pocket clip and make us have to pay another 12 $ for .. and especially don’t do that and call it a gosh darn replacement part.

The tool is great .. but the leather man’s business practices i call bs on..

Are those just normal for the bond and this tool is designed for super light work? Or did leatherman just dropped the ball on this one?

 Once I received the tool, I thought it was great and all until about now (3 weeks later). The tool is already showing rust spots (none on my wave after 6 years) and the 2 arms of the tools are really bendy. For example, if I were to apply too much torque while driving a screw, I get the feeling that I'd bust one of the arm off.

 The scissors are ok but smaller than the older version and a bit wonky. Knife blades open kind of tough, smooth blade was not sharp, and the pliers didn't close well with other tools open. For that kind of money, didn’t feel like what I thought it would be and am really let down.  Sent it back and ordered the Signal instead (lovely blue color with stainless tools)

 Blade is much smoother to open with thumb (flies open) and is razor sharp, has the perfect amount of tools for me, feels solid, lighter weight to carry and with 2 clips as well. I wanted the Signal from the start but hesitated because no scissors…well, I have a solution. Since the WAVE scissors weren’t that great to me and was my main reason for getting the WAVE, I will just carry a tiny Swiss Army keychain knife on me (keys, pocket or attached to sheath). Solves the issue and even adds tweezers to the mix

Older WAVE models were better quality

 She’s a metal brick in your pocket! Even that 1.5oz more on the Wingman is a bigger deal than I thought it would be!

 Also, it’s heavy! If you are holstering it, cool you’re going to love it. If you plan on pocket carry with it, you may want to get something a little lighter. She’s a metal brick in your pocket! Even that 1.5oz more on the Wingman is a bigger deal than I thought it would be!

 The are very small and flimsy. Would love them to swap the serrated blade for the Wingman scissors which are not only bigger but the spring works better. Also, it’s heavy! If you are holstering it, cool you’re going to love it. If you plan on pocket carry with it, you may want to get something a little lighter

Feels good

 There’s a much better wire stripper, a chisel, a huge flathead which is essentially a pry bar. 

 The Wave+ scissors never worked for crap. I thought I’d miss the bit exchanger, especially carrying a sleeve with me all the time, but honestly I’d take the Philips on the Victorinox any day over that exchanger. It is long and skinny which means I use it 50 times more than I did the Wave simply because I can reach it down into the often encased screw. Good luck with the bit exchanger doing that

After about four years of daily carrying the Wave+ and two months carrying the Swiss Tool, here’s why I’d strongly recommend the latter:

 You will hear it time and time again from people who’ve owned both. Victorinox just feels so much sturdier. The springs have a very satisfying snap shut and every tool is made extremely well which leads to….

Hi guys, plz help me decide between this two multi tools, the Swiss tool looks older but more confortable while using the pliers, and the wave seems to have a better knife. For context I’m a an engineer that works at a maintenance base, a volunteer fire fighter and I like mountain biking and hiking.

As I said, the choice is on you. Set your priorities, what you need and what you don't.

Sheaths. Wave comes with standard grey nylon sheath, Rebar comes with black leather box 4" and Sidekick comes with standard black nylon sheath 

Hi everyone,
For days i browse the internet and look for multitools. And surprise i found a lot, but i always realize that i already have most of the tools on my victorinox cybertool m. Do you know a multitool with pliers you can recommend that doesnt have a lot of those tools i already have in my pocket?

 Do yourself a favor and go ahead and order one of the premium sheaths. It's a lot better. Plus, I prefer the snap over Velcro. Velcro is noisy no matter how careful you are

In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and in 1897 with the Officer’s Knife. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable" and used in the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born.Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. Care Tips for Swiss Army KnivesThe various tools are manufactured from high-quality steel with precisely tuned features that are essential for the particular application. The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion.SharpeningTo re-sharpen your knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and the resulting damages that may occur.CleaningAfter you’ve used your Swiss Army Knife for all of its various applications, such as cutting open numerous boxes, you may notice that the blades begin to stick together. Opening and closing the blades in warm water several times will allow the tools to easily move again. Once they have dried, it is recommended, to apply a small drop of oil between the blade or tool shank and the spring. To optimally maintain the locking mechanism, periodically apply a drop of our recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil. Never put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.

 Okay. Now we have to go over a couple cons, because every honest review has to talk about the cons of every multi-tool. So first up is because this tool uses a high chromium content, stainless steel. The knife blade isn't going to have quite as good of edge retention as other multi-tools using 420 hc steel

 One of my biggest pet peeves of this particular multi-tool were the scissors, while the scissor design is overall, pretty good, they actuate well and they're very sturdy. The fact that they don't open up very far just limits the usefulness of them now this next con might actually be a pro for some people. The screwdrivers do not have bit interchangeability like the leatherman waves. Do the downside for this is, if you need things like a torx bit or a hex drive anything like that, you do not have the ability to add it to this multi-tool where, on, like the waiver surge you do, the pro of that feature is you'll, never Lose the screwdriver so long

 It'S the chisel, slash wire strippers and box cutter. I think this edge is technically classified as a wire case cutter by victorinox, but i personally think it's a great box cutter or doing things like cutting open, concrete bags bags of sand. Things like that that you would not ever want to use a regular knife blade for and since this multi-tool does not have a serrated edge blade. This little box cutter is going to come in really handy for you, so good job on the wire strippers, chisel and box cutter

 However, the regular wire cutters - they kind of have this second notch in there, and i would have preferred a just plain edge there kind of like the leatherman wave, for example. I just don't think the second notch really helps it if anything, it's a hindrance, especially when you're trying to cut larger diameter wire where it might not fit neatly into that notch. So that's a little bit of a knock. I have on it

Victorinox SwissTool Spirit X Review - A Great All Around Multi Tool

 Velcro works best here since you can hear the thing "tear" open in almost any environment and avoid losing your tool.  This is my second Victorinox product and I can say that I'm happy with both. The Cybertool almost met my needs but the pliers simply didn't cut it in the workplace (light industrial technician). Carrying both would be ideal (I do) but the average person could quite easily go with the Swisstool Spirit X

Like my Cybertool 41, this item seems to be the same exact quality I'm beginning to expect from Victorinox. That is to say, very nice as far as I can tell. The tools have not been used or abused just yet but that is coming very soon now because I use this tool at work.  The tools themselves are the precise assortment that I would choose to have on a plier based multi-tool, hence my purchase

 The tools have not been used or abused just yet but that is coming very soon now because I use this tool at work.  The tools themselves are the precise assortment that I would choose to have on a plier based multi-tool, hence my purchase. The Philips driver in particular appears well designed after a few uses, you have to use it on different size bolts to get what I mean. I actually like the design of all of the tools myself

 The Cybertool almost met my needs but the pliers simply didn't cut it in the workplace (light industrial technician). Carrying both would be ideal (I do) but the average person could quite easily go with the Swisstool Spirit X.

Initial Impressions

5. Both are pretty stout despite images, and should hold up fine to typical use. The nice bit is both can be replaced if you do somehow manage to break them.

3. I think there's a few locations that handle warranty repairs over in Europe, the UK branch being the one I'm aware of (American, BTW). I'd say do some research, and see where you'd have to send it, and factor that into your decision.

My general suggestion would be to go for the option that's more convenient and easiest on you. Both Victorinox and Leatherman are good options regardless, so pick the one that has the tools you want/need, is easy to procure, and finally, ease of warranty in your location for service, in that order. I mainly go with Leatherman because of how ubiquitous they are where I live (most stores, even non-sporting goods stores carry them).

I'm aware I'm not the first who struggles to choose between these options. I've read a lot of comparisons. I'm still left with some questions. If you can answer some of them I'd be very grateful!

Extra info: I don't own many tools, so this would be closer to my main toolbox than for some. I do own a Juice S2. I don't care about the price, I'm patient so I can save up more money if needed. I'm not looking to start a collection.  


1. The main swisstool's weakness seems to be soft steel. Has anyone actually damaged the Philips screwdriver so bad it's not functioning well anymore because of this? How? Did the warranty cover it?
2. Another advantage of the Leatherman options is the replaceable wire cutters. Has anyone damaged the swisstool wirecutter so bad they aren't usable anymore? What happened? Did the warranty cover it?
3. I'm in Europe. Leatherman has a great warranty, but how will that work for me? I recon I'd have to ship it to the US? That may turn out to be almost as costly as getting a replacement?
4. How strong are the Leatherman bit drivers compared to the philips on the ST300 and Spirit? I'd be using it with the extender, mainly. If I break anything, will the bit itself be most likely to break, or the bit driver or extender?
5. The file/saw on the surge seem short and flexible. Are they hard to use well?
6. I'm a woman with regular sized hand I'd say. The internet seems to want to point me to smaller tools, but I figure the longer handles would also give me a bit more leverage. I'm not super strong, so that seems like a plus. What would you recon?
7. Do any full size/heavy duty Leatherman tools have a knife with a shape similar to the spirit's? I haven't found any. It's not a huge deal, but as I'm in Europe, a non-threatening looking knife is a plus in some situations.

Thank you!
