Pros: Strong, well-finished, safe, easy to handle and use.
Cons: Weightier than some similarly-sized tools. Awl could be sharper and stronger.

Pros: Small enough to carry in your pocket, availability when in a bind.
Cons: Hard on your hands, questionable durability.
Summary: I have never purchased a leatherman, every one I have ever owned has been given to me as a gift, or an award of some kind. I have priced them at a few different sporting goods stores, and they all seem to be within the Sixty to eighty dollar range. This ... read more

Pros: Well-made, good-looking, sturdy, lots of tools.
Cons: Large for ease of carry, off-center screwdriver blades.

Pros: Compact, light, durable, and designed for one hand operation. Made to last a life time.

Pros: Solid, comfortable, easy to use.
Cons: No locking mechanism for screwdriver blades.

Pros: Durable, multi-purpose, the best on the market
Cons: Expensive, no ruler, still hands down the best I've seen
Summary: Ahh the Leatherman Wave... what can I say? A lot in its favor and little to its detriment (price would be a sore spot but my job bought it for me). The Wave is 4 steps up from the Leatherman PST, because of several additions: serrated knife, rolled ... read more

Pros: All metal, great workmanship, versatile, compact, replaces an entire toolbox.
Cons: If your used to a Supertool than it is a bit small.
Summary: Prior to working at the job I am at now I had never even heard of a leatherman before and was curious as to why everyone at work had one of these. Then one day I examined one up close for several minutes. Kewl I thought, there are so many uses "I" have ... read more

Pros: Sturdy construction, pocket size, great tools.
Cons: Heavy, not inexpensive

Pros: Best grips, four locking blades, compact
Cons: ???
Summary: With the addition of the Wave, the people at Leatherman combined all the essential tools in a compact yet strong design. Don’t let the compact design fool you that this tool is less serious. The pliers and the blades are fullsize like in the original ... read more

Pros: Good multipurpose tool backed by a good warranty
Cons: Too heavy for the belt or purse
Summary: I have used the "Leatherman Wave" on numerous occasions and have found it to be an excellent tool for your arsenal. The sad part is that it is too heavy to carry around all day round. Also the size is large enough to not be encouraged attaching to a belt ... read more

Pros: Lots of stuff, Easy to use, cool looking, high-quality
Cons: Heavy (duh), blades stick sometimes,

Pros: Very versatile and handy little tool
Cons: Minor quirks in tool selection
Summary: Tsunami of a tool!
I have tried a plethora of multitools before I settled with the Leatherman brand. I understand each has their followers like religious zealots, but for my money the wave is the best tool for the job. A multitool is (like ... read more

Pros: Required exchanging (see cause below) and company honored expediently and without question.
Cons: Attempted to cut a fishhook and it bent the wirecutter causing it to "catch" handle.
Summary: I said it all above. I thought I could use the Wave wire cutter to clip a fish hook. Seems to me to be a logical conclusion. However, in doing so I bent the cutter, causing it to "catch" on itself rendering pliers useless. Essentially, as I would ... read more
