Wonder who recommended the S-30V blade steel to him?

TR
FAILURE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE ALARM! It was You Sir Reaper. Good thinking on your part too. That's why I was telling Leatherman about the steel.

I have the Wave.I've tried many other tools and the Wave is definetely the best I found.Some feedbacks:

1-the external tools are very easy to 'put in action', with a simple thumb action.Many other products have all there blade INSIDE only;

2-the cisors are very very useful;

3-the clamps are very nice and can be unlock with a simple thumb action.I need only two finger to close an external tool.And only my thumb to open.

4-the inside tools in the cisors side are very easy to open, because they get out all at the same time.I dont know if all the Wave are like that.

5-the tools, particularly the external ones, are very slack and easy to open, but are still locking hard, while easy to unlock;

6-to the opposite, some tools (just one side of the internal tools) are a little hard to open.I never tried to adjust the screw, since I dont have to proper screwdriver;

7-the whole pinces are 'spring-loaded'.At one side,when the Wave is close, they are what I can compare as teeths.A bad thing is that when you close the Wave rapidly, you can get your skin suddenly crushed.The spring keeps your Wave sharply close, but two times I was surprised, and that was a little hard to remove.

8-they are too much screwdrivers of different sizes for the same shape;

9-since the Wave is in stainless steel, this is another source of reflection.Gerber offers a new black 'tactical' tool;

10-it's hard to find the exact size ans shape for the adjusting screws.


As a conclusion, the Leatherman Wave is my favorite tool, and I use it almost everyday.
